Purchase Order Credit Notes and a new Approval workflow for Project Management

November 30, 2023

Purchase Order Credit Note functionality:

You can now credit your receipted Purchase Orders. 

This allows you to credit/refund a receipted Purchase Order. This takes the goods out of stock and returns them to the supplier. If you are connected to Xero, an Accounts Payable Credit Note is also created in Xero to that Supplier.

More documentation on this functionality can be found here: https://www.tidyacademy.co.nz/blog/credit-or-refund-purchase-order/tidystock 

For TidyWork, TidyEnterprise and TidyBuild users:

A new workflow to approve Time and Material entries:

You can now approve Time and Material entries on the Project console.

Once Time and Material entries have been submitted by a User, you can now either Approve or Reject them on the Project Console.  To do this, you still need to be either a Project Manager, or be an Approver on the project.

This aims to introduce a more project-centric approval process, in addition to the current user-centric approval process.

This feature can be enabled in your Company Settings.

For TidyStock and TidyEnterprise users:

Customer contact field automatically selected on Sale Orders:

The Primary Customer Contact can be automatically selected when that Customer is selected on a Sale Order. 

You can enable this via the Company Settings (found under Sales & Purchases tab).

Assembly components now displayed on the Stock Level Warnings dashboard:

If a component of an Assembly has a reorder level set, it will appear on the Stock Level Warnings dashboard if the Assembly is on back order. This is helpful if you need to reorder any components to create Assemblies.

 

For TidyEnterprise users:

Two columns for stock level on New Planned Materials screen:

When planning a Material Entry, you may need to order stock. You can now see the stock level for the location of the project and the company-wide stock level. If you don’t have enough stock, you may wish to reorder.

Two additional columns on the Stock Level Warnings Dashboard for Material Entries:

The “PO Pending Projects” column indicates that there is a Material Entry associated with a Purchase Order. In other words, the item on the Purchase Order is reserved for a Project. This doesn’t count towards the working total calculation. 

The “Project Submitted” column shows that a Material Entry is submitted to a Project, but it is not associated with a Purchase Order. The item does need to be procured, so it is counted in the working total calculation. 

These two columns help provide handy information towards your reordering needs for Projects.
