Version 2.36 (May 2023)
Purchasing
- The Purchase Receipt module now supports Reserve Invoices.
- You can now scan the supplier catalog numbers of items as barcodes.
- In the Purchase Order module, before selecting a supplier, you can now scan an item barcode, which will select the main supplier of that item as per your SAP Business One item master data. Alternatively, if the scanned barcode was a supplier catalog number, then the corresponding supplier will be selected.
Picking
- The warehouse filtering feature has been expanded to include the Picking module: In the Options screen of the app, you can now enable a new filtering option (checkbox) to make the Picking module only display pick lists for the warehouse chosen in the Options screen.
- The freight costs (AKA “additional expenses”) of base documents (sales order or reserve invoice) are now always correctly copied to a delivery note that is created via the Picking module. Previously, the freight costs would in some cases get lost when using the Picking module to create a delivery note.
- There is a new checkbox in the Options screen under the Picking section called “Display line details by default” which does exactly what it says: when you enter a pick list, the details of the lines (such as customer and due date), which can normally be displayed by long-clicking on the line, will already be shown for all lines.
Production
- The Issue for Production and Receipt from Production modules now display the completed and total quantity of the production order, and use color-coding to indicate the status. (White = no completion, Yellow = partial completion, Green = total completion)
- In the Issue for Production and Receipt for Production modules, you can now long-click on a production order to close it, unless the option to disallow the closing of production orders is selected in the Options screen of the app.
Units of Measurement
- Units of measurements are now correctly filtered in purchase and sales modules on a per-item master data basis (i.e., based on the ITM4 table).
- Correct handling of changes in Unit of Measurement master data: In SAP Business One, if you use a UoM in a document, then change its value, the document will retain the original value. For example, if you have “1 Pallet = 10 Pieces” and create a Sales Order for 5 Pallets, then change the UoM group to “1 Pallet = 12 Pieces” then the original Sales Order still expects 50 Pieces to be delivered, not 60 Pieces. This used to confuse COBI.wms, which in this example would have asked you for 60 Pieces, possibly leading to an error due to quantity mismatch in batch numbers. Now, COBI.wms looks at the UoM data stored in each document line, not just the current UoM group definition, so everything works as expected.
General
- The live search mechanism has been improved: when you enter multiple words into the search field, each word will be searched individually, and you will get a list of items for which each word matched. For example, while looking for a business partner, you could enter the text “c2 micro” to find a business partner whose code is “C20000” and whose name is “Microchips Ltd.” since the word “c2” will match the code and the word “micro” will match the name.
- Screens which display a list of open documents (open sales orders, open purchase orders, etc.) will now auto-refresh once every 60 seconds.
- Improved handling of date inputs: The app will now display an alert if it can't parse a date value you've provided, such as for the production or expiry date of a batch number, instead of silently ignoring your input. You can now also use dashes or slashes to separate the date values, for example, all of “01.12”, “01-12”, and “01/12” will be interpreted as December 1st. (American ordering of month/day is not supported.)
- In the Options screen, you can choose a different screen resolution and font size to override the Android device's settings.
Security
- In on-premises deployments using the Management Database, you normally have to store SAP Business One passwords in a column of the Companies and/or Users tables to allow the app to log in via Service Layer. There is now a way to avoid this if desired. Create a COBI.wms User (see Management Database documentation) with an identical username and password to an SAP Business One User. (The passwords of COBI.wms Users aren't stored in the database, only a salted hash to compare during login attempts.) After verifying the COBI.wms User login, the app will try to use the same username and password for Service Layer if it can't find any username/password in the Companies and Users tables of the Management Database.
-
Version 2.36 PL2
- There is a new option to disable batch/serial numbers in the Picking module. This means the app won't ask the user for batch/serial numbers during picking. The batch/serial numbers will have to be provided later to complete the process, such as when creating a Delivery Note or Inventory Transfer from the Pick List.
