pixi Mobile

General

🟪 Enhancement An additional option is available: Re-load bins. The option was added to complement the new Force update bin list in pixi Web (Administration > Tables > Bins). Changes made to bins via the Control Center or API will be refreshed and available to use on pixi Mobile. (436602)

🟪 Enhancement: The user interface now displays the external order number in addition to the internal order number. (916378)

Updates & Google Play

🟪 Enhancement: The version of a customer database must match the version of pixi Mobile.

When opening the app, users now have the option to download the correct version. It is saved in the device's Downloads folder. After uninstalling the old and installing the new version, the app can be used again. (931796)

Logistics (Picklists)

🟪 Enhancement: A new Picklist parameter is available: Only for Single Item. The parameter is listed under Order Lines and available for 1SS picklists.

The EAN of the item can be entered directly in the field next to the option. For more information about scanning the Picklist, see the Enhancement under Scan-In. (922563, 922564)

Logistics (Scan-In)

🟪 Enhancement: For 1SS picklists that were created with parameter Only for Single Item, you will just need to scan/enter the picklist number and confirm the printing of the shipping labels for the number of orders in a separate pop-up. After confirmation, pixi will print the shipping labels for the number of orders automatically. If the request for the package type is enabled for the shipping vendor, it only needs to be selected for the first order.
