New Release 12/06/2013 – Product discounts, Customer group discounts, Customer-Product pricing matrix, Bulk updates and Customer tags

New “price discount” feature allows users to seamlessly create and apply discounting to a range of products, customers and customer groups. Users have the ability to discount and mark up prices by amount, percentages, price override and flat amount (for services).

The sequence of discounts that can be applied is:

1. Individual customer level. This overrides all other discounts.
2. Customer group level. If no discount applied at individual level, customer group discount will be applied.
3. Product level. If no discounts at individual customer and customer group levels, product level discount will be applied.

Users have the ability to apply the discount to certain product categories by exporting the product list in bulk (Excel) and changing values in the discount name column and then importing the product list back into DEAR.

New Release 30/05/2013 – Serial Numbers, Barcodes, Batches, Recurring Invoices‏

Posted on by

We are excited to let you know about our most recent release. After collecting some excellent feedback from our customers we have added a number of features which add even further value to our great product. Some of the new features in our most recent release are below.

Serial Numbers

Collect serial numbers of inventory to search and track availability of individual stock items rather than just the overall quantity.

Barcodes

Use the barcode to search and track availability of inventory in the database.

Batches

Track batches, or groups, of a specific item. Similar to serialised inventory, except a batch represents a group of items instead of an individual unit. A batch number is assigned to each batch of items, and the number stays with the batch as it goes through the system. You can track when each batch was received, shipped, built, and so on.

Improved Dashboard

DEAR dashboard has been improved to display a snapshot of your organisation’s financial position based on transactions entered into DEAR Inventory. The usability of Dashboard has been expanded and now allows you to directly drill down into transactions, or quickly perform common tasks such as initiate stock reorder or adding sales invoices or bills.

Recurring Invoices

The recurring invoicing function of DEAR Inventory allows you to invoice customers on a regular basis. Billing cycles can be scheduled for any number of monthly increments and set to bill on a preferred processing day.
