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
