Desktop Applications

Connector

🟪 Enhancement: A new setting is available for the pixiToolboxSettings.json configuration file: PixiDatabase. This setting determines which database pixi Connector connects to by default. If a value is provided, the Database field does not need to be filled in when logging into Connector. The setting is intended for On-premise customers. (811342) 

"GeneralSettings": {
     "PixiDatabase": "my_default_pixi_database"
}

Control Center

🟪 Enhancement: Two new settings were added to Control Center: (912613, 916977, 916978)

  • Maximum item quantity for stock movements

    • Sets the total item quantity for stock movements

  • Maximum item quantity for stock movements per batch

    • Sets the item quantity for individual batches within a stock movement

    • Example: If the value 500 is set and the stock movement includes a total of 1000 items, two batches of 500 items each will be moved

    • Note: This setting already existed under the name Maximum quantity for stock movements. It has been renamed.

  • The new settings affect the Web (Goods Receipt), Mobile (Put to stock, Take from stock, Inventory) and Inventory (Put to stock, Take from Stock)

  • Both settings can only be changed by pixi support

🟪 Enhancement: The setting Maximum quantity for delivered items is marked as "deprecated". (912613, 916977, 916978)

🟪 Enhancement: If a bin is edited in the table and an item is put to stock, it was possible to change the location of a bin. This behavior is now prevented and an error message is displayed: Bin already exists and the location will not be changed. (777228)

🟪 Enhancement: A new database setting is available: Enable GTIN-14. This setting allows you to define how barcodes are interpreted in your system: (915787, 882903)

  • OFF (0) (default): The GS1 barcode together with the EAN13 barcode and an additional check digit

    • GS1 example: 02 (GS1 barcode) + EAN13 + 0 + 10 + BN + 15 + BBD

  • ON (1): The GS1 barcode with a leading zero and the EAN13 barcode

    • GS1 example: 02 (GS1 barcode) + 0 + EAN13 + 10 + BN + 15 + BBD

The functionality was implemented for the desktop clients Inventory and Shipping, for pixi Web and Mobile. When scanning the GS1 barcode the database setting is used and depending on the setting it is checked at which position 0 is (prefix or suffix of the barcode (EAN13)).


Import & Export

🟪 Enhancement: The supplier price is always imported with 4 decimal places, regardless of whether the database setting for the number of decimal places to be imported is enabled. If the setting is set to 2, up to 4 decimal places will be imported for the supplier price during item import. (914771)

🟩 Bug fix: The Item Search, Item Info and various lists now display the supplier price with the value "0" if the user does not have the permission to see the Supplier Price (EK). (910581)

Payments

Reports

🟩 Bug fix: An error in the Stock Overview by Bins with Tags report was resolved. If only bins were specified as report parameters, no data was loaded. (903212)

Note: Sorting bins by name only works correctly if the bin names are of the same length. Example:
Bin A1, A2 and A10 are sorted as A1, A10 and then A2. For correct sorting, the bins must contain a leading zero: A01, A02 and A10.
