pixi 24.07

pixi 24.07 is available from 2 July 2024. It includes several bug fixes, new features, enhancements and optimizations. Reference the numbers in parentheses if you have any questions for support. You can download the latest full installer after the database update on pixi Web under Administration > Downloads.


API

🟪 Enhancement: The API documentation for pixiGetSupplierOrder has been enhanced. The following fields have been added to the documentation: (1036115)

  • DeliveryLocation

  • ExtOrderNr

  • SupplierOrderId

  • SupplierOrderlineId

🟪 Enhancement: The API call pixiCreateDelivery has been extended with two optional XML fields/tags. Users can now specify the exact order document as a reference for the goods receipt line using the InternalNumber tag (order number, e.g., 70000123) or the ExternalCode tag (an optional external order number that can be specified on the order). This enhancement allows for the creation of a single goods receipt document for multiple orders through an API call. (1019256)

🟦 Optimization: The API call pixiReport_ItemsOnStockWithBatchManagement has been optimized for use with a specific item (specified by EAN or ITEMRNINT in the parameter). This optimization results in the call returning results up to ten times faster. (1035383)

  • A user with authorization for the licences page is redirected to the license page after logging in and each time they try to open another page.


Administration

🟪 Enhancement: A new permission has been added for report profiles: Manage Report Profiles, located under Administration > User Roles > Group: Reports. This permission allows users to edit existing report profiles, modify profile options, change names, and manage scheduling. By default, the Manage Report Profiles permission is enabled for the pixi administrator role and disabled for all other roles. (1020655)

🟪 Enhancement: The permissions for various roles at the administration and report profile levels have been clarified. For more information, please refer to the documentation here. (1025648)

🟪 Enhancement: A new layout option is available and accessible via the gear icon in the top right corner. The default layout cannot be deleted, updated or changed. (1025308, 1025316)

Logistics (Goods Receipt)

🟪 Enhancement: When an order is used as a template for a goods receipt document, the order number is now displayed as a clickable link instead of using the Template symbol. (1031769)



Logistics (Picklists)

🟩 Bug fix: The issue where certain order tags could not be selected when creating the picklist profile has been resolved. (1027700)

🟩 Bug fix: The input field for the (Items per Package Min. ) is now also displayed when the database setting 1-Scan-Shipping is disabled. (1046893)

🟩 Bug fix: The checkbox range validation in the Picklist profile has been enhanced. Previously, an error message would appear when editing the profile or creating a Picklist from it. (1022302)


Logistics (Ship-Out)

🟩 Bug fix: When printing shipping labels from third-party providers, pixi previously failed to wait for the provider's response, resulting in no label being printed. This issue has been resolved. Shipping and return labels can now be downloaded in PDF format from an external URL (ExternalPDF). pixi will now wait for up to 30 seconds to retrieve the label. If the label is not retrieved within this time, a pop-up window will appear, informing the user of the difficulty and providing two options: Wait for another 30 seconds or Cancel to stop the process. If the label URL is received within the 30-second window, the message will change to LABEL CREATED. (979446)

🟪 Enhancement: The maximum weight per package has been increased to 50,000 kg (previously 10,000 kg). This applies to both, single and multiple package shipments. (1009570)

🟦 Optimization: The process of updating invoice data has been optimized to avoid deadlocks. (1025635, 1025807)


Logistics (Stock)

🟩 Bug fix: In some cases, the list of stock movement types could not be displayed in full because the scrollbar did not appear. (1027624)


Desktop Applications

Connector

🟩 Bug fix: The delay between intervals for reprocessing files has been increased to 500 ms (0.5 seconds). There are a total of four attempts. If the file remains locked after 2 seconds, it will be reprocessed when another file is added to the folder. (1042977)


Control Center

🟩 Bug fix: Additional improvements have been implemented to prevent duplicate automatically generated tracking numbers for SwissPost (SWP) when the template for shipping labels is configured to use Pixi_Poll_GetLabel. (1012566)

🟪 Enhancement: A new database setting is now available: Skip conversion of special characters. When enabled, special characters (e.g., ä) are printed on the shipping label exactly as stored in the database, without conversion. This affects ZPL labels printed via the desktop shipping application (conversion is not performed on the web). By default, this setting is disabled, meaning special characters are converted.

Note: If this setting is enabled, ensure that ANSI character encoding is used in the ZPL template (ANSI encoding is set with the ^CI27 code). For printing via the Internet, UTF-8 encoding should be used (CI28 in the template). (1008093)


Auto E-Mails

🟩 Bug fix: The creation of NLB mails (all order lines are marked as "not available") has been optimized. The execution time is now reduced by half. (1035383)
