This is a minor release which introduces significant improvements. Below are some of the highlights. For a more extensive listing of all the changes you can refer to the beta changelog.
info

Windows users: this version is released with a new code signing certificate. While you might get a warning from Microsoft SmartScreen, the app is 100% safe to download and use. You can confirm the authenticity of the code by right-clicking on the exectuable file, Properties > Digital Signatures.

  • New feature: BOM Comparison Tool. You can now compare a BOM against up to 2 other BOMs. The tool will tell you which entries are identical across all BOMs, entries that are missing from at least on BOM, and entries with differences.

When the Designators field is defined, the tool unrolls and parses each individual designator to check for differences. This ensures ranges defined in the designator (e.g. R1-5) are correctly parsed and each individual part is compared. If the Designators field is not defined, then the Part Number is used as the unique key to compare that entry against other BOMs.

  • New feature: Custom Quotes API Server. You can now implement your own API server so the app can fetch quotes from it. If you have quotes on database or have access to an external service that provides you with quotes and for which BOMIST is not integrated with, you can now bring them on the app. The custom quotes API server can be enabled from Settings > Workspace > Quotes > Custom Quotes API. An implementation example can be found here: https://github.com/BOMIST/bomist-scripts/tree/main/custom-api-server

Other significant improvements:

  • Documents now have a Code field. This code can be automatically generated, similarly to the Internal PN field on parts. Automatic generation can be enabled through Settings > Workspace > Documents > Code Generator.
  • Role-based permissions: custom roles can now restrict access to certain Products
  • When exporting a table into PDF and HTML, the title, subtitle and description can now be customized
  • API: added endpoint to receive items against a purchase order

Significant changes:

  • Obsolete inventory renamed to Unavailable. This has a broader meaning as unavailable inventory might not necessarily be obsolete (e.g. inventory used during prototyping that might not be used during production or on sales orders). Note that when using the API, inventory still uses the obsolete status - this will be changed in v2.15.

Fixes:

  • [fix] Chance for being unable to find parts when selecting alternate parts
  • [fix] Chance for quantity not to be displayed

  • Inventory restrictions: when not set yet, the app will now default the option Allow inventory from other owners to enabled. Having this option disabled by default (as before) often caused confusion when seemingly available inventory woulnd't show up as available for a given product with an owner assigned.
  • [fix] Pricing and availability table replacing generic parts on the BOM with an alternate part when auto-assigning quotes
  • [fix] Chance for a crash in production builds
  • Some other small UI/UX fixes

Download:Windows|macOS
  • [fix] Prevent text overlap in some barcode labels
  • [fix] Storage field in the Parts tab not being updated after moving inventory from the Storage tab
  • [fix] Chance for UI not to update when using the API
  • [fix] team-only Chance for sync icon to remain active even if syncing has stopped

Download:Windows|macOS
  • An history log is now created just after a workspace is imported so the import event itself can be tracked
  • [fix] Custom fields on purchase lists not being saved
  • [fix] team-only Prevent potential crash or error at the end of syncronization when loading the workspace for the first time

  • Sales orders: items can be marked as delivered on a past date
  • Setting added at Settings > General > Advanced > Identical text, which allows to enable/disable the identical text algorithm, used when determining if two parts are considered identical (same part number but identical manufacturer) or to simply disable the fuzzy algorithm it uses internally. This can be useful in case false positives happen.
  • Identical text algorithm slightly tweaked
  • [fix] Chance for footer to overlap content when exporting a table into PDF
  • [fix] Some small UI fixes

Download:Windows|macOS
  • Barcode labels layout slightly rearranged to avoid blank lines
  • Lot code (if available) is now included in inventory barcode labels
  • [fix] Pagination not updating after rows are expanded
  • [fix] Chance for boolean values to show up incorrectly on PDF reports

Download:Windows|macOS
  • Inventory barcodes now include the Rev field (if available)
  • When printing barcodes that include a storage location (inventory and storage barcodes), you can now omit the first N segments of the storage location's name as, for long names, there would be a chance for it not to fit in the barcode label.
