Orders

Use Partner Name instead of Partner ID during Order Upload 4306

Improvement

During the Order Upload process, you can now use either a Partner Name OR a Partner ID to map your orders to the relevant Business Partner when uploading your order details. Previously it was specifically Partner ID that was required to map your orders to the correct Business Partners.

Order Date is Now Mandatory During Order Upload 4244

Improvement

The ‘Order Date’ field is now a mandatory field when uploading your orders into Stream. If any orders are uploaded which have an empty ‘Order Date’ field, or include an invalid date, then it will be defaulted to ‘Today’s Date’ when the orders are imported.

Mobile App

Make certain products not require scanning on collection 4038

Improvement

We’ve added the ability to set specific products to not require scanning when being collected, even when they are required to be scanned on delivery. This is useful in situations where you may be collecting a product that has been left with a customer and the barcode may not be available to be scanned e.g. a home appliance.

You can choose the scanning requirements for individual products on their respective ‘Product Details’ screen using the ‘Scan Not Required’ field.
