? Fixes
Bug fixes, corrections for unintended behaviour and improvements to prevent future issues.
SWAN-6855 - Cygnus Customer Orders - ‘Taken’ Order Lines Amended Date Incorrect
When customer orders are created on the till and marked as ‘Taken’ then the order amended date is set as the date it’s created in SRS. This ensures orders are processed sequentially.
⭐ Added
New features or functionality your staff will notice and be able to make use of from this patch.
SWAN-6788 - Budgets Enhancement - Merchandise Budgets to create 'Forecast' figures
Budget forecasts can be set in SRS for Sales, Amendments and Purchases. These can be set through the Merchandise Budgets Maintenance.
When amending in the maintenance or import, simply select/enter the forecast (B) type you need instead of the budget (A) type:
Import template for the new forecast fields:
This forecast information will be added to the Merchandise Budgets Enquiry over the next few patches and will be accessible in future reporting and analytics through ClearSight.
Setting the forecasts in ‘Set Merchandise Budgets’ can only be greater than the budget, so this program requires a future fix to allow negative amendments as well. In the meantime use the Merchandise Budgets Maintenance or Merchandise Budgets Import.
? Changed
Adjustments to existing programs and workflows to enhance functionality.
SWAN-6883 - Item deletion audit database changes
[ DATABASE ] A new table stock_item_deletion_audit has been added to the Database which will be used in a future update to record the deleted items with details of the user, date and process used to delete the item.
API
This API section defines updates to the SRS application programming interface to aid existing integrations or apps or prepare for new future functionality.
SWAN-6695 - Stock item endpoint return item thumbnail
Enhancement made to the existing Cygnus server endpoint POST /api/customer-orders/items to include thumbnail images in the response where available. This will only carry images set up against items of type ‘Thumbnail’. Recommended to limit these to 100x100 pixels to ensure performance. Further development is planned on this to create thumbnail images automatically and remove them from web item image feeds.
In a future update to COA it will be able to display these thumbnails in the item lookup.
