New
- EQ Automate has a new task type for Catalogues that automatically detects and imports EQ catalogue files. It includes an audit log and a work log for editing tasks, and when tasks are executed. The task type allows for configurable handling of orphaned stock products and temporary price increases.
- VAT-inclusive pricing for the Woo Commerce integration, which updates prices from EQ Flex to compatible hosted websites:
- System Config > API Integrations has a new tick box, Add VAT % to EQ prices. It shows the default VAT rate in brackets, as set in the Currency/Tax settings higher up. It needs to be ticked for the Sell Inc VAT price to show on Individual Prices.
- My Catalogue List tab has a new column, Sell Inc. VAT, next to Sell.
- My Catalogue Details tab has a new field, Sell Price Inc. (VAT), under Sell. It also displays the company VAT rate at the bottom right.
- When you type into Sell or Sell Inc, the other figure is calculated using the system’s default VAT rate to add on or take off. For example, enter £100 into Sell and £120 automatically updates in Sell Inc VAT.
- Import and Export via Excel now has two entries, one for prices exclusive of VAT and one for prices inclusive of VAT. The spreadsheets are the same design. Column M is titled either SellincVAT (inclusive) or opsell (exclusive).
- Filenames are suggested automatically when exporting to Excel. They include inc or exc to show which price type the file contains. You can respond “No” to be prompted to set your own folder location and file name.
- The file type is Excel’s XLS (not CSV). This means the flags in columns such as WooInclude read TRUE rather than just T. This is the same as the standard My Catalogue import/export.
- Importing from Excel can now automatically update products via WooCommerce, obeying the Auto Update tick box.
- Supplier > Catalogues > Individual Prices has a new Sell Inc VAT column, shown only on the WooCommerce Product Link screen (see the button at the bottom left). The main grid’s Selling Price column is unchanged and remains exclusive of VAT. The inc VAT price updates when Sell is changed, and vice versa, as with My Catalogue.
- When printing to PDF there is a new checkbox option to automatically trigger a browser download of the PDF file, meaning saving, opening and printing are all much faster with fewer steps.
- There is a new default in System Config > General Layout: Download EQ Flex PDFs to System Configured Local Downloads folder. This is on by default.
Fixes
- Fixed an error when creating an Amendment to Contract (ATC) that could create a duplicate catalogue order record.
- Fixed a crash on the Diary filter when a saved filter name contained more than 255 characters.
