Purchasing

8 updates

The same rules as adding stock by hand

  • Every row is checked before anything is created. The import used to accept the sheet as-is: a blank tax category, a missing purchase price or an IMEI of 1 went straight into live stock, because only the Add Stock form enforced those rules. Both doors now share one rule set, so what the form rejects the spreadsheet rejects too
  • Nothing is imported until the whole sheet passes. A bad row is named with its row number and what is wrong with it, rather than importing the good rows and leaving you to find the rest
  • A computer row must carry its storage, since a computer's record is identified by it

Detail page

  • Extra Info summary. Under the Extra Costs summary there is now an Extra Info Summary: each label line in use on the parcel's IMEI items (e.g. 6 Month Warranty) with how many devices carry it. Each item row also shows its extra info line, next to its extra costs. Included on the parcel PDF

Parcel Excel import

  • Accessory (non-IMEI) rows with quantity 0 are now skipped rather than creating a product with no stock. Previously such rows became a phantom variant that sat on the stock alert as out of stock forever, even when the same item was in stock under another grade
  • The import preview highlights these rows in yellow with a warning banner listing them, and the confirmation message after import names each skipped row
  • A sheet where every row has quantity 0 is rejected with a clear message instead of creating an empty parcel

Parcel Excel import

  • New Extra info column (the same free-text field used for label printing on Add Product) can now be set at import time
  • A blank tax category on a phone sheet defaults to Margin instead of failing the whole import
  • The accessories (non-IMEI) import's identifier column is now labelled barcode instead of imei, matching what it actually is

Duplicate parcel charge fixed

  • Fixed: parcels created from a Purchase Order could charge the supplier twice — once on the PO and again as a Purchase Parcel entry whenever items were added or edited outside the PO screen. The duplicate posting can no longer happen
  • New Settings → Fix Data Discrepancies → PO Parcel Duplicate Ledger Entries check: lists every affected parcel with links to the parcel, the PO and the supplier's ledger, and a Fix All that removes the historical duplicates (take a database backup first — supplier balances will drop to their true values)

Extra Costs & Average Cost in the Items Summary

  • The parcel details page and PDF now show Extra Costs and an Avg Cost per line (after Amount), plus Total Extra Costs and Avg Cost / Device footer rows — per-device extra costs spread across all IMEI devices in the parcel. Accessories are excluded from the average

Import items from Excel

  • New Import Items from Excel button on the Create Purchase Order and Create Sale Order screens. Upload a spreadsheet to add all line items at once instead of entering them one by one — the rows drop straight into the order table for you to review and submit
  • Download template link provides the exact columns: IMEI (Yes/No), Type, Make, Model, Grade, Capacity, Colour, Qty, Rate, Tax Category (plus Vat Rate when VAT fields are enabled)
  • Supports IMEI items (Phone / Tablet) and non-IMEI items (free-text type). Item attributes (make, model, grade, capacity, colour) are capitalised on import for consistent grouping
  • Each row is validated (type, required fields, quantity, rate, tax category) with clear row-numbered errors, and the sub-total / VAT / total are calculated automatically

Parcels

  • New Change Account option on the parcel detail page — reassigns a parcel to a different supplier account
  • Account ledger entries are automatically re-pointed to the new account so balances update instantly
  • Restricted to admin users with edit permission
  • Change is recorded in the activity log
