pixi Mobile
Goods Receipt
🟩 Bug fix: When creating goods receipts, the app crashed in some cases. (945094)
Scan-In
🟩 Bug fix: When pixi was updated to 24.03, the field focus was no longer automatically in the field for the box number. The field had to be selected manually in order to enter a box number. In addition, pixi Mobile did not switch to the pick list after assigning the boxes. Instead, it reopened the scan-in program. Both issues were resolved. (1003053)
🟩 Bug fix: When barcodes were scanned with the device camera, they were not recognized in the Scan-In program. (1018664)
Web Application
General
🟩 Bug fix: Users without authorization for Purchase Orders, Offers and Purchasing could not print delivery notes. (992655)
🟩 Bug fix: On the details pages of Orders and Invoices & Credits, the action bar and header were no longer visible when a user would scroll down. (1011343)
🟪 Enhancement: Documents created in Accounting Export and the Reporting in pixi Web, are automatically deleted after one year. (1014136)
Logistics (Goods Receipt)
🟩 Bug fix: The cells of the column Rec. Q. were not fully colored. (1013235)
Logistics (Scan-In)
🟩 Bug fix: In some cases, manual refreshes were required due to recognition issues with scanned EAN codes. With this update, the system now automatically refreshes in the background. (1002127)
🟩 Bug fix: In some cases, invoices were not printed in 1-Scan-Shipping. (1014325)
Logistics (Ship-Out)
🟪 Enhancement: The scanning behavior on the Multiple Packages page was improved. When items are scanned for an invoice, the system automatically redirects the focus back to the item code field until all items are scanned. After the last item has been scanned and added to the package, the focus switches sequentially: from weight (if enabled), to shipping vendor and package type (if enabled). Once the package type is scanned or enabled, the package is created. This update eliminates the need of an extra scan for the package creation. (968316)
Logistics (Stock)
🟩 Bug fix: After an item was put to stock and the stock movement type was changed, both the previously selected and the newly selected type were preselected when a new operation was performed. (1001413)
