  • Initial setup time reduced at the expense of having some tables taking a bit longer to load the first time they are rendered.
  • Unit cost on generic parts is now the weighted average of all its alternates by taking into account their stock on-hand. Before, the unit cost of a generic part was the simple average of the unit cost of its alternates.
  • When importing custom quotes, part number and manufacturer are optional (useful when internal PN is used instead)
  • Custom fields of type Option can now be displayed on the calendar (for the data types that support the calendar)
  • More color options have been added to custom fields of type Option
  • A pick-list can now be generated from a production build by right-clicking on the table and select Pick List.... This list is grouped by storage location, so you can more conveniently check all the parts and quantities that need to be picked for each storage location

  • When splitting items with Designators on a production build, the designators can now be edited both on the source and destination so they are also correctly split
  • Backport of previous versions in the main channel

  • The Pricing & Availability table now uses the same engine as the Production Plans Availability table and an option to use alternate parts (or not) can be defined
  • Backport of previous versions in the main channel

  • Obsolete inventory is now considered on-hand (reflected on stock counters)
  • [fix] Unable to adjust or move obsolete inventory

  • New feature: Internal Part Number generator. Internal part numbers can now be automatically generated. The part number consists of a simple counter: every time a new part number is generated, the counter is incremented. You can also define multiple Series. Each Series keeps its own counter and add a prefix to the generated part number. If enabled, internal part numbers are generated whenever manually creating parts, bulk importing parts, or creating parts through the API.

  • New feature: Obsolete Inventory. You can now change the status of available inventory, from available to obsolete (and vice-versa). The status can be changed by simply editing selected inventory (right-click and Edit inventory...). Obsolete inventory is inventory that's no longer usable but which you still want to keep track of. Obsolete inventory is ignored for all purposes other than tracking it and for calculating a part's Worth.

  • Purchasing: a Rev column has been added which allows you to list revisioned inventory to be purchased (not necessarily for in-house parts)

  • When importing a BOM, a Unit of Measure column might be mapped. If mapped, it is used to determine the unit of measure in case it's not included in the value mapped in Qty. This should be useful when the software you use to generate a BOM doesn't include the unit of measure along with the quantity.

  • Defining depth when importing tree-structured data (e.g. Storage and Labels): a setting was added (Settings - General - Import) which allows to define a character that should be used to denote depth. This way you can have names that include a dash -, the character previously used (and still used by default) to denote depth in tree-structured data.

  • Barcodes: a setting was added (Settings - Barcodes) which allows the description on a detailed barcode label to wrap either at a character or word.

  • When adding parts and quantities into a purchase order from a purchase list, the unit of measure used in the purchase order will match the one from the selected quote. For example: if a purchase list indicates 150 screws to be purchased and you selected a quote with pricing for a "Box-of-100", you'd need to buy 2 "Box-of-100", being that quantity and unit of measure the ones to be listed in the purchase order.

  • Calendar: events can be drag-and-dropped in order to change its date

  • Production plans can now be imported through a CSV file
  • When "going-to" something (e.g. a part), if filters are active and possibly preventing the item to show up on the table, a popup is displayed informing you of that including a button to quickly close filters so the item would become visible
  • API: when creating parts, category field can be passed
  • History: storage events are logged (storage created, moved or removed)
  • When importing CSV files, the fields to map are now double-sorted: first by required ones and then alphabetically
  • Some minor UI improvements

  • The app now detects identical parts whenever importing or manually creating parts. Identical parts are parts with the same Part Number but identical Manufacturer (e.g. "Wurth Electronics" vs "Würth Elektronik"). By default, identical parts are considered the same. When importing parts you'll be warned about identical parts, if any, and given an option to manually confirm if those parts are meant to be considered the same or not.

This should prevent having multiple parts listed on the app that actually represent the same one. Before, a different Manufacturer for the same Part Number would always be considered as a different part whenever importing or manually creating a part. Once created, parts are still considered unique / different based on both Part Number and Manufacturer as different manufacturers might use the same part number.

  • A search input (Filter...) for basic search was added to the Issues table

  • This release introduces barcode actions. With barcode actions you can acomplish a task, such as adding, removing or moving inventory by scanning a sequence of barcodes and without keyboard or mouse intervention. To initiate a barcode action all you need to do is to scan the barcode of one of the available actions on this Barcode Actions PDF and then the app will inform you of the next barcodes you should scan in order to finish it.
  • The timeout the app uses to process incoming barcodes as been reduced from 200ms to 100ms to make barcode scanning faster. You might want to increase this value though in case you use slower barcode scanners. That can be done from Settings - Barcodes.

  • Requests to third-party APIs run in parallel, resulting in less time waiting for quotes
  • Octopart/Nexar API can now be disabled (only used when searching for quotes). This might be useful if you prefer to only use the supported third-party APIs (DigiKey, Mouser, etc), so the app doesn't spend time fetching quotes from Octopart.
  • Element14 API can now use a customer ID so you get custom pricing straight from Element14 stores (Farnell, Newark)
  • Support for TME API added
  • [fix] View selector: items not draggable
  • [fix] Chance for error at startup when documents with URL have been created through the API
