🧩 Improvements

🌟 Long-Term Supply & Demand Plan Improvements

New Navigation:

• Have you checked out the revamped Long term Demand & Supply Planning feature? We've simplified the navigation steps!

Other Improvements:

• We noticed Total purchase amount is not visible enough so that we revamped. The PO Restock Frequency feature, and now the total purchase amount is more visible.

• We realized that the “Convert to PO” term is confusing while creating PO from the Supply Plan. The "Convert to PO" button has been renamed as "Edit & Approve PO” to better understanding.

🚨 Long-Term Demand & Supply Plan feature is currently in beta, and access is limited to selected users.

📅 Overdue PO Emails

Last month, we introduced a new "Overdue" tab in the Purchase Order section to display overdue POs.Now, you will receive emails every day about overdue POs if you have any. Additionally, each Monday, you will receive a weekly report email about the overdue POs.

💼 Fractional Bundle

We're pleased to announce the launch of fractional bundle inputs for bundle creation. You can now configure your product bundles with fractional quantities (e.g., 0.5, 0.25) for bundle components. This enhancement seamlessly integrates with all aspects of Fabrikatör, including suggestions, reports, purchase orders, and more.

Other Improvements

• We've extended the Reference Number and Currency fields on the purchase order. If the Reference Number was so long, it was creating UX problem and not showing all text.
