The new shop cart

We are currently working on a new user interface for our shop cart. Since the last release you are able to test the BETA version of the new shopping cart and provide feedback. Here you can read about the latest updates to the new shopping cart (BETA).

With a new  look & feel the new shop cart offers are a more intuitive usability with many more interesting features and improvements yet to come. Currently the new shop cart is in BETA status, hence some features that you might use may not be implemented yet. Therefore, you will be directed to the old shopping cart by default, that still offers all functionalities that you are used to.

Please be aware that the new and the old shopping cart have the same basis, every change you make in the new shopping cart will impact the old shopping cart and vice versa.

Shopping Cart – Columns

We added an additional column to the shopping cart, which provides you insights on the date, the shopping cart position was added to the shopping cart.

When you activate this column in the column configurator, you will see the time the position was added. This now also allows you to sort the postions according to your preferences, so that the latest positions can also be on top of the shopping cart.

Shopping Cart – Sorting

We now also added a sorting option to the detail view of the shopping cart positions. You can easily sort the columns “Supplier”, “Delivery address”, “Delivery date”, “Quantity” and “Price” and the newly added “Create date” ascending or descending by clicking into the respective column header. On click sorts the selected column ascending, two clicks sorts the selected column descending and three clicks removes the sorting.

By default, the shopping cart positions are sorted chronologically.

Shopping Cart – Detail View

We further improved the detail view of the shopping cart positions, sot that the selected positions is highlighted with a light grey background. This makes it more clear, which position is selected and displayed.

Please consider, that this is the beta version of the new shop cart and not the final version. Changes to the current design may be implemented.

Manual closing of orders

We introduced a new access right, to allow the manually closing of orders in status “being entered” only. This access right is called “Manual close orders being entered”.

Thereby we now offer three access rights to granularly control, which orders can be manually closed by users:

1. A general access right, which allows users to close any order, independent of the order status. This access right is called: Manually complete an order
2. An access right, which allows users to only close an order, if additionally the setting “Manually complete and archive purchase order” in the order processing workflow is active. This access right is called: Manually complete an order in dependence of order processing workflow
3.  New: an access right, which allows the users to only close orders that are in the status “Being entered”: This access right is called: Manually complete an order in status “Being entered

Dearchivation of Orders

We improved the system behavior, so that orders, that were manually closed and dearchived, are set back to the original status before the order was manually closed. For example, if an order is closed which was in status “being entered” and this order is dearchived, this order will now be reset in status “being entered”.

Mark inherited line items

We removed the organisational setting “Mark inherited line items” and actived it by default. Hence, the flag “Inherited condition” in case a positions already contains inherited values, will be shown as a standard system behavior.

Customs tariffs number

We improved the system behavior, so that in case the organisational settings “Make “Customs tariff number” field from the list selectable” and “Display the customs data block” are active and the country of the delivery address and the supplier address differ, the field “customs tariff number” is automatically marked as a mandatory information in the shopping cart. Here, we aligned the behavior in the shopping cart with the already present behavior in the order position.

Order position attachment

We fixed a bug that caused that the article image of a catalog position was shown as attachment in the order position list as soon another attachment was added. The bug was fixed, so that in the order position are files shown as usual – files that were manually attached to the position.

Inherit page

We fixed a bug that didn’t allow to select the objects Job (chargeable), Job (non chargeable), task and customer to be inherited to another position in the shopping cart and in the order.

Currency selection

We adjusted the currency dropdowns to select the currency in the application, so that the currencies you can select are sorted alphabetically.

UNSPSC for OCI Inbound

If you use Onventis via OCI Inbound, you can now also transfer the UNSPSC classification back to your ERP-System at each position. The possibilities here are the same as with eCalss. For changes in the setup please contact your Onventis contact person

Enhancement of supplier determination for multi-supplier OCIs

To make it easier to connect external catalog platforms via OCI, the data field External supplier number can now also be used for mapping
