You can download the latest full installer after the database update on pixi Web under Administration > Downloads.
API
🟩 Bug fix: When pixiSetReminderLevel was used to increase the reminder level, UpdateDate was not set to the current date and UpdateEmployee was not set to "API". (1090439)
🟪 Enhancement: The documentation for API call pixiGetReminders was enhanced. The API call can be used to get a list of invoices for which reminders can be created. (1009295)
pixi Mobile
Controlling (Dashboards)
🟩 Bug fix: When the language setting for pixi web was set to French or English, the time scale for Order Lines Scanned in Today - by period did not change to 8:00-10:00. (1098171)
General
🟪 Enhancement: Licenses of inactive mobile devices are now released automatically. A check for inactive users runs every 15 minutes and releases licenses for users who have not been active for more than 30 minutes. This also applies to users who have not logged out properly and for whom more than 30 minutes have passed since their last activity. (1058775)
🟪 Enhancement: Previously, you could open 1SS picklists in the pixi mobile Pick to Box program. This caused 1SS picklists to be treated like a normal picklist, where each item needed to be put into a box first. 1SS picklists are now hidden in the list of open picklists in the Pick to Box program. They are still visible and selectable in the programs Picklist and Scan-In. (1083927)
Reporting Shortages
🟪 Enhancement: pixi Mobile will now show the user that has reported a shortage. (1104893)
Web Application
Logistics (Picklists)
🟪 Enhancement: Two new columns are available on the picklists overview page: Status and Shortage reported. Users can now more easily and quickly identify which items have been reported as missing by filtering for them and then recreate those picklists. This prevents multiple people trying to pick the same item at the same time, even if it is out of stock. (1104906, 1070910)
Administration (Logs)
🟩 Bug fix: If "Don't print" was selected for Invoices and Credits for a shipping station, pixi incorrectly logged an error labeled ‘Document printing disabled’. (1092895)
Controlling (Reporting BETA)
🟩 Bug fix: If the date was changed during profile or report creation, the date was displayed in the wrong format. (1107303)
🟪 Enhancement: The following characters are replaced by an underscore (_) during an export: /:*?“”<>|%” (1110674)
🟪 Enhancement: All reports from the desktop client are now available on the web. This enhancement includes custom reports; however, a standard layout for these new reports is not yet available. The layouts for the newly migrated reports are only partially available in German. (1102439)
🟪 Enhancement: To make using the new reporting functionality easier for customers, it is now possible to create default report profiles. The functionality is only available if no report profiles have been created yet or the report profiles page is empty. The dialogue box (Screenshot 1) will be displayed upon opening the page for the first time. It is important to note that the names of the profiles must be changed and the correct user authorisations and standard parameters must be set for the profile. System (standard) layouts are available for the newly added reports. (1102448, 1129554)
Item (Item Management)
🟩 Bug fix After sorting column 7 and performing a search, the search function no longer worked. (1094248)
Logistics (Goods Receipts)
🟩 Bug fix: No warning message appeared when a higher-than-ordered item quantity was scanned. This error affected items with batch management data. (1115438)
Desktop Applications
Control Center
🟪 Enhancement: In preparation for the mandatory e-invoice for companies from January 1st, 2025, the “Electronic invoice” database setting is available with this release. When enabled, the invoice data is saved in Factur-X format within the PDF file. The pixi Connector exe file must be located in the folder C:\pixi! To be able to use the new feature, the database setting “Electronic Invoices” must be enabled. The setting can only be enabled by pixi Support. (1094922, 1102434, 1091127)
🟪 Enhancement: For the DB setting Export BookDate instead of BankDate for wires, the range for matching payments has been increased from +/- 1 week to +- 2 weeks. (1077039)
Import & Export
🟩 Bug fix: For purchase order imports, we increased the CCPLastAuthCode field in OrderHeader table from 50 characters to 100 characters to allow import of full transaction IDs from marketplaces where transaction IDs are longer than 50 characters. (1104087)
Shipping
🟪 Enhancement: The functionality for box reservations is now improved. Boxes can be reserved immediately. Checking whether orders for two customers are in the same box has been improved and errors are displayed when scanning. (1091527)
