Web Application

🟩 Bug fix: A typographical error was fixed for German shipping seals (capitalization of the word "Zertifikat"). (619439)


Customer Service (Orders)

🟪 Enhancement: Direct invoicing is now available for single and multiple orders. It is featured on the orders overview page and on the details page of an order. Additionally, direct invoicing is possible for single or multiple orderlines. This feature is available in the tab Order Lines. Success and error messages were implemented for direct invoicing. In certain cases, direct invoicing is not possible: (503873)

  • An invoice already exists for the orders or order lines

  • The orders or order line do not have the correct status. Orders must be in status OPEN and order lines in status ANG

  • Orders or order lines are on a picklist

  • Order lines have BBD/BN/SN tags assigned

  • Orders have a customer or ship lock


General

  • Goods Receipt and Returns

    • Buttons Search and Clear are now shown under the line at the bottom right of the page

  • Amazon IDU

    • Buttons Search and Clear are now shown under the line at the bottom right of the page

    • Channel and Status options are now saved if the page is refreshed or you return from another page

  • Orders & Invoices and Credits

    • Buttons Search and Clear are now shown under the line at the bottom right of the page

    • Button Search clears the filtering and sorting of the columns and if the page is refreshed, filtering and sorting are not shown anymore

  • Invoices and Credits

    • Document and Order Type options are saved in case the page is refreshed or you come back from another page

  • Orders

    • "0 of 0 Results" is shown now at the bottom of the page

    • Buttons Search and Clear are now shown under the line at the bottom right of the page

    • An empty list is shown until a search is done

    • "0 of 0 Results Shown" is now written at the bottom of the list

    • The Boxes list is limited to 1,000 records

🟪 Enhancement: The document upload status is shown on the Amazon dashboard. (606460)

🟦 Optimization: An email sending procedure was optimized to reduce RAM load. (616094)


Item Management (Items)

🟩 Bug fix: The item volume was not calculated from length, width, and height. (612552)

Note: The calculated result is only shown in item details. The volume is not saved in the database and therefore NOT available in any other step in the pixi item life cycle (item export, shipping...).

🟩 Bug fix: When several items were re-imported using the same XML file, in some cases, item codes were assigned to the wrong items. (621112)


Logistics (Boxes)

🟩 Bug fix: Boxes with many items (e.g., 1,500 items) could not be emptied. (605545)

🟩 Bug fix: The pagination in Boxes was removed. The Boxes page now lists up to 1000 boxes and filters can be applied. (437566)

🟪 Enhancement: Invoices can be printed from the Boxes page according to the defined printing option on the Shipping Station page. In case the button Print is clicked and pixi Connector is not running or options and printers are not defined, a pop-up is displayed ("Check the pixi Connector."). (598814)


Logistics (Goods Receipt)

🟩 Bug fix: Creating goods receipts from multiple purchase orders did not work. (599219)


Logistics (Picklists)

🟪 Enhancement: The parameter labels Older as (incl.) and Younger as (incl.) were replaced by Before and After. Those parameters now also include a specific time. Default values for the date picker are set to the current date and

  • the time picker for Before is set to 23:59 = 11:59 PM

  • the time picker for After is set to 00:00 = 12:00 AM

In case the Before date is after the After date and the After date is before the Before date, an error message is displayed. The Shipping desktop application ignores the time. (550664)


Ship-Out (ShipRush Integration)

🟪 Enhancement: A new type of weight measurement is available for package types in Control Center. It consists of the measurement unit and a multiplicator (e.g., kg x 1) . This change was necessary to prepare the use of the ShipRush package label functionality in pixi. (624801)

🟪 Enhancement: In case of any error from ShipRush at Ship-out, a warning label is printed and the ship-out process is completed. (609482, 601019, 619875)


Desktop Application

Connector

Import & Export

🟪 Enhancement: The new setting "TrackingIdImportChunkSize" is available for pixi Connector's configuration file. It allows you to set how many rows are imported at once. We recommend a value of 200. (611752) 

"GeneralSettings": {
                    "TrackingIdImportChunkSize": 200
},

Please note: General Settings and TrackingIDImportChunkSize must be added to the pixiSettingsToolbox.json file. pixi Connector will stop working and log an error when this setting is missing!

Use this step-by-step guide to apply the necessary changes to your pixiSettingsToolbox.json file:

  1. Open file path C:\Users\{%User%}\AppData\Local\pixi\pixiConnector

    1. The AppData folder might be hidden. Go to the navigation menu View > Show > Hidden Items to display the folder.

  2. Open pixiSettingsToolbox.json with an editor of your choice.

  3. Add GeneralSettings before Profiles.

    Example:

    {
    "GeneralSettings": {
                               "TrackingIdImportChunkSize": 200
    },
    "Profiles": [
    {
    "ProfileName": "CSV Profile",
    "ParsingMethod": 0,
    "ShipVendorFolder": "C:\\pixi\\ConnectorTrackingIds\\CSV",
    "FileFilter": "*.csv",
    "ProcessedFilePath": "C:\\pixi\\ConnectorTrackingIds\\CSV\\Success",
     (...)
    }
    ]
    }

  4. Save the file.

  5. Restart pixi Connector.

🟪 Enhancement: The item code type Barcode cannot be set to "not scannable". The reason for this measure is that the item barcode should always be scannable and therefore changing the setting to "not scannable" was made unavailable. (612170)

🟪 Enhancement: During order import, data for vouchers is updated in the Voucher table and in the Customer Service desktop application in case no invoice exists for the order. If an invoice exists there will be no change of voucher data. (580305)


Control Center

🟩 Bug fix: We have checked and aligned all messaging events and their names in Control Center. Before, there were discrepancies between the two, e.g., in case of Control Center name PickEvent and the actual name of the messaging event pixiEXPickEvents). (590128)

🟪 Enhancement: The messaging event pixiEXPickEvents is now disabled by default (619548)

🟪 Enhancement: The button Delete Email was added for emails that are not in test mode and in status "ERROR". Clicking the button will open a pop-up window where you must confirm deleting the email. (599634)


Customer Service

🟩 Bug fix: Reservations could not be deleted. (619415)


Duplicate Check App

🟪 Enhancement: The procedure that prepares data for the app (it performs the initial check of customers and their addresses in the database) was improved: (611601)

  • It now checks the latest created customers (addresses)

  • It now checks whether there are old customers (addresses) that were not checked yet
