If a customer has supplied an Item Number, this information will now be displayed on the sales order pdf line.
From the Point of Sale, in the Details Tab, if the transaction has a Customer PO or an internal message, this information will now be viewable from the memo line of the QuickBooks Payment that is generated.

We have added more visibility to the Work Order you are clocked into. Along with the clock icon in the blue header bar, users will see the work order number.
When a user clocks into a job we will now prompt them to input all the original check in information. This combines the check in and clock in buttons, reducing the number of steps for the mobile techs to start their work. If the Work Order is in "New" status the first user to clock into a job will move the work order to "In Process".
If a customer requests service for their machine via Sparks, Flyntlok will generate a Work Order in estimate status for the customer. Also, you can now subscribe to receive sparks service request notifications.
We have addressed an issue where quoted parts on work orders were being included in the shop fee calculation. This would have affected work orders that had shop fees calculated from labor and parts totals.
When accepting a Trade-In as a payment type, users will now have the option to create a new vendor from the Trade-In screen.
We now support a default discount structure that will be set on all existing and future customers added to Flyntlok. Please reach out to Flyntlok if you would like to set this up.

We have added an Exclude Zero Quantity option to the inventory sprint editor. This will exclude any items with a zero QOH from being added to a sprint plan.
When editing an item, you can now set fields for length, width, and height to capture the dimensions of items. This should support e-commerce platform integrations and help with shipping. 
Users will now have the ability to create a new part when setting a supersession.
When quoting a new model from the point of sale, we will now prompt the user to input all required information in place of an error message.

We have added a new feature to easily view and organize Flyntlok notifications. You will now see a bell icon on the top right of your home screen next to your username. When this icon is clicked you will be able to view all notifications, organized by most recent. You will no longer see notifications on your dashboard or popup in the lower right of Flyntlok. You can access the last year of historical notifications by clicking the View All.
Sales Orders and Work Orders can now be created from a Lead in the CRM Hub. To do this, go from the Actions tab of the Lead view -> Create Sales Order or Create Work Order.
Leads will now be viewable under four new categories: My Leads, New & Open, Unassigned, All Leads. These categories allow for easy organization and quick referencing of new potential customers.
We have added a color coding scheme to status badges of the CRM Leads. This allows users to easily identify the status of their lead. The color coding is outlined below.
New-Navy
Open-Blue
Attempted Contact- Orange
Contacted- Orange
Quoted- White
Won- Green
Lost- Grey
Closed-Grey
We update the searcher to look across most fields in the lead list. Any fields we are not searching by can be filtered use the selections above the list.
We have added a new CRM Leads panel on the customers dashboard, this will track and display all leads created for this customer. This allows users to easily view basic information about each lead.
If you are using the VOIP integration with Flyntlok, when any unknown number calls, the user will be redirected to the Add New Lead form of the CRM hub while auto-populating the caller's phone number. This will let you easily create a lead and ultimately a customer!
Clearing up typos, and redundant tags can now be done by clicking the Actions -> Manage Tags from the CRM Hub.
If a scan fails to find an associated Item Number, UPC, or EAN, a note line will be created in its place to help prevent unnoticed missed scans. The note line will include the barcode number which was originally scanned. We also show a warning pop-up, but if you have hotkey functionality enabled on your scanner, the popup can be missed if you continue to scan.
We have added a new setting to allow managers to configure a default invoice source by user. Previously, this was done at the company level.
To set or edit the default invoice source for a user, navigate to Wrench->Users->Users. Locate the user you wish to set, click edit, and in the "Other" tab, assign a default invoice source.
To check your current company settings, navigate to Wrench-> Point of Sale-> Invoice Sources.
We have added a link to the mobile dashboard that will allow users to quickly create new Work Orders.
We have added a new icon to the Service Scheduler. When selected, you will be able to copy and paste the events of the group you have selected to a new date.
We will now be automatically applying work order deposits to the final invoice of a work order. Previously, you had to add these manually and the deposit was only accessible if the payment was posted to QuickBooks Online.
Updated user permissions now allows admins to limit users ability to make changes on the Service scheduler such as changing events, and modifying groups.
Flyntlok settings allow admins to adjust cutoff dates for transactions. This helps prevent unwanted reversals of invoices that have been posted during accounting periods already closed, as well as, backdating transactions into closed period. This should align with your QuickBooks Online Books Closed Date.
You can now restrict who is allowed to open a posted item voucher. This will add an internal control that stops users from requesting a reversal of a bill.
You will now see a red warning message if there is a duplicate bill number under the particular vendor. This message will be displayed in red, next to the QB Bill Number in the Voucher Details section.
We have added a new setting to the Machine Purchase Order. Users will now be able to print labels in bulk from the receiving voucher by selecting voucher lines, selecting printing action, then clicking Generate Labels.
We gave the Omnisearch results a freshlook. It now allows for quick referencing of item number, vendor/make, description and bin. Also displayed, includes QOH, QOO, and List Price, which are appropriately categorized by color.
A Recent Rentals section has been added to the Item Dashboard, which displays the fifteen most recent rental contracts of the item.
We have added machine hours and miles to the Sparks Request Service Form.

Check out the latest updates to the Flyntlok Equipment Dealer Management System.
We've made it easier to sort and filter the list of machines when adding machines to a voucher.
While adding new machines to the voucher, you can now designate a quantity of machines to create.
We have added label printing functionality to the bulk actions! Don't forget - Flyntlok consultants can customize these labels to your business needs. Just submit a support ticket!
We added permission that must be turned on if the user would like to complete vouchers. You can also designate a user to receive a notification and pending action when a voucher is submitted for completion.
We have removed the recalculate button and will recalculate the fees live.
If you add a date and leave the year blank, we will assume that you would like to use the current year.
If a machine received on a voucher has files attached to it, you will see a voucher files section on the machine's dashboard. Remember, files attached to a machine using the detail view will be attached directly to the machine.
If you track your payables through bill.com, we have added the ability to set up a bill.com machine clearing account. If this is set, we will offset the asset amount on the journal entry to this account.
If you log in from a phone, you will now be taken directly to the mobile view. If you want to return to the desktop version, click Return to Desktop at the bottom of the page!
The work order you are clocked into will display at the top of the page. The My Work button will show you all of the work orders you have assigned to you.
We've updated messages coming back from our card processor to make it more clear when a card has been declined or if there was an error during the payment process.
We will be beta-ing a new feature with pilot dealers that should make it much easier for us to properly calculate your billing durations given a date range on a calendar. This should allow you to set up contract data in a much easier format and reduce the number of dates you need to manage for a rental contract.
We will be beta-ing a new feature with pilot dealers that allows you to set a default interim billing cycle for a contract. This should greatly reduce existing date adjusting when trying to create an interim invoice. This will also let us notify you when you have a contract due for billing, and in the future, offer us the chance to generate these bills automatically for you!
You can now select a location during the rental contract creation. Previously, we only allowed you to change it once the contract was created.
While entering an address on a rental contract, you can now click the Save to Customer box to save the address to the customer address book.
Consumables can be configured in two different ways: Standard and Capacity-Based. Capacity-Based is better for fuel because fuel is measured in percentages, not quantities. Standard is better for renting out consumables that are measured in units. Tire wear, cutting edge wear, and other specifically measure consumables should be setup with the Standard style.
When auto-generating work orders at rental check-in, we were using the machine's last known hours, not the hours at check-in. That has been fixed, so work orders populate with the machine's hours at check-in.
We fixed a handful of bugs causing the work order error when you tried to save. Some of the most notable are:
Notification groups should now be more clear in which aspect of Flyntlok they tie to.
Along with adding more categories of notifications, we added a new notification you can receive if a CRM Lead gets assigned to you. You can configure how you would like to receive this notification by clicking your name in the upper right of Flyntlok and heading to preferences -> notifications.
We've added an option on the customer profile to decide if you keep the customer's accounting contact in sync with Quickbooks Online data or if the data you enter in Flyntlok should be the source of truth. This is the email we use to auto-send invoices and receipts. When this is on, we will always override what is in those fields with what is set in QuickBooks Online. When it is off, the contact and email will remain whatever you enter under the customer profile in those fields.
We were presenting you with some errors almost anytime you ran the end-of-day process to post customer payments. Those errors were erroneous in that the posting had gone through successfully. We prevented those unnecessary errors from displaying going forward. Actual errors still display!

You can add payment and click the order button at the same time. The Apply Payment button has a small triangle next to it. If you click the triangle, you will have the option to Apply Payment & Process. We will remember your selection for next time, so you will not need to click the triangle!
Models can be swapped out using the new machine purchase order vouchers. If a machine is incorrect, create a receiving voucher for the machine. From the detail view, click the Change Model button.
Using the search box, find the model that you would like to receive instead.
Then receive the machine as normal!
Vouchers can be used to book fees to a machine. If you would like to book fees, but not receive the machine, create a Fee Only Voucher. Fee only vouchers are just like receiving vouchers, but will limited functionality. You will not be able to receive machines or edit machine costing information from a Fee Only voucher.
If there is a QuickBooks error while trying to post a machine PO voucher, we will add the voucher to the failed list so that it can be fixed. If you click the link for the failed vouchers, it will include a column with resolution steps. We plan to do this with more postings in the future!
Rental Schedule templates can be added while you input pricing on a rental contract.
We have added a new address selector that should reduce entering addresses multiple times. You can choose from the customer's profile address, any of their shipping addresses, or search through your company address book.
If a vendor's markup is edited, all parts under that vendor will be updated to respect the new markup. Be Careful - this updates all of your item prices!
Adjusting the cost or MSRP on an item will automatically adjust the list price. This was previously working based on the vendor's default markup and now will factor in your pricing matrix.
