Opportunity
Salespeople requested the ability to add discount tiers to customers when they are being created from the Invoice.
Solution
This functionality was added to the “Quick Create Customer” dialog box.
Please contact your friendly Flyntlok consultant if you are interested in activating this feature for your sales team!
Opportunity
Salespeople need better visibility into machine warning notes during the sales process. Previously, these notes were only accessible by navigating to the Machine Dashboard, which slowed down workflows and increased the chance that important warnings could be overlooked.
Solution
Machine warning notes are now fully integrated into the Sales Order page. When searching for machines to sell, the warning note is displayed.
When a machine on a Sales Order has a warning note, an icon is shown. Hovering over it reveals the note.
Opportunity
When searching for parts with the Magic Wand tool, users could only see quantity on hand at their current location. This made it harder to quickly identify stock available at other branches, slowing down sales and fulfillment workflows.
Solution
The Magic Wand searcher now provides visibility into inventory at other locations:
A yellow asterisk next to the quantity badge indicates that additional stock is available elsewhere. Hovering over the badge reveals the quantities on hand at other locations. This makes it easier to identify and source parts across your organization without leaving the search screen.
Opportunity
When viewing costs using the "View Internal Pricing" (
) tool on Point of Sale, sales managers could only see margin as a percentage, making it harder to quickly assess the actual dollar value of profit.
Solution
We now display both percentage and dollar value margins, giving sales teams clearer insight into profitability at a glance.
Opportunity
Users (Wayne once again) wanted more control and efficiency when importing parts into Point of Sale. Previously, if a part existed across multiple vendors, the system required manual selection of the part for each line.
Solution
We’ve made enhancements to the Point of Sale import tool.
Additional improvements:
These changes streamline imports, reduce manual corrections, and improve data accuracy on invoices.
Opportunity
Sales Managers requested clearer visibility into estimate totals. Currently, estimates only showed an overall total, leaving customers and staff without an easy way to see how parts, labor, discounts, and taxes contributed to the final amount.
Solution
We've added a new setting: "Display detailed subtotal breakdown on estimate". When enabled, estimates will now include a breakdown showing Total Parts, Total Labor, Discounts, Subtotal, Taxes, and the Overall Total.
To turn this feature on, go to Flyntlok Settings → Sales section.
Opportunity
Sales Managers working on-the-go wanted the ability to not only upload machine images from their mobile devices but also publish listings online quickly. The "Advertise" field is used by some teams to communicate to online sales reps that a machine is ready to be listed. Previously, the "Advertise" field could only be edited from the desktop interface, slowing down the process of getting machines online.
Solution
The "Advertise" field is now editable when managing machines on Mobile. This allows sales teams to upload images and immediately mark machines for advertising in one step, streamlining the process of getting inventory online faster, from anywhere.
Opportunity
Technicians and Service Managers needed a faster, more flexible way to access files uploaded to Work Orders. Previously, clicking on a file link always opened the file in a new browser tab, making it inconvenient for users who simply wanted to download files directly, or download multiple files at once.
Solution
We’ve improved file handling on the Work Order Dashboard with new actions:
These enhancements save time and make file management more convenient when working with Work Orders.
Opportunity
Service Managers rely on dashboard goals to track team performance, but until now only Productivity and Efficiency goals could be set. Many teams also wanted to monitor Recovery, an important metric for understanding how effectively labor hours are being billed.
Solution
We’ve added a new "Recovery" goal to the Service Dashboard. It functions just like the existing Productivity and Efficiency goals, allowing managers to set targets and track actual performance in real time. This provides a more complete picture of service operations and profitability.
Opportunity
Rental Managers requested clearer totals on Rental Contracts. Previously, contracts only displayed estimated totals per rental schedule.
Solution
We have added a new setting: “Show Estimated Billable” under Rental settings. When enabled, the contract will display a breakdown of the Estimated Total Billable amount at the bottom of the agreement.
Opportunity
Businesses needed tighter control over who can edit accounting-related fields when managing customer records. Without permission controls, there was a risk of unauthorized changes that could affect accounting accuracy and reporting.
Solution
We’ve added a new user permission that allows access to accounting-specific fields when editing customers. Admins can access this permission in Access Controls under the Customer category:
Opportunity
Sales Managers reported confusion when customers saw different customer IDs in the “Bill To” section of Sales Order PDFs. Customers expected to see an ID consistent with the Sage Intacct customer ID, but instead saw the Flyntlok internal customer ID.
Solution
Sales Order PDFs will now display the Sage Intacct Customer ID in the “Bill To” section when available.
Complaint: Service Managers noticed the order of job parts lists were not consistent when creating multiple Work Order Estimates. This was causing confusion when an estimate was sent to a customer again after being adjusted.
Correction: Fixed.
Complaint: Managers reported customers were not receiving surveys after purchasing a machine when they had a configured survey rule with the “Invoice Machine’s Make” filter applied on the Manage Surveys page, even though the make of the sold machine matched what they set on the filter.
Correction: Fixed.
Complaint: Service Managers reported that Work Order Job Templates were being created without respecting the company’s default job billing style.
Correction: Fixed.
Complaint: Managers reported that the Quick Transfer button on the Machine Dashboard was not creating and processing a Machine Move like they expected.
Correction: Fixed.
Complaint: Users noticed that the city, state, and zip line would not appear on Sales Order PDFs if the information was only partially filled in.
Correction: This has been fixed. Sales Order PDFs will now display the address line correctly, even if only part of the information is present.
Complaint: On smaller screens, part of the Actions menu on the Work Order Dashboard was inaccessible due to a visual bug.
Correction: The Actions menu is now fully visible and accessible on all screen sizes.
Complaint: On some Part Voucher PDFs, the totals amount would sometimes be cut off and not fully visible. (Yeah, seems to be a trend of things not fully displaying correctly this week…)
Correction: Fixed.
Complaint: After collecting a signature and then accepting an account payment, users still saw a warning that a signature had not been collected.
Correction: This has been fixed. The warning will no longer appear once a signature has been collected.
Complaint: Some users reported that they were unable to create tags when editing a customer.
Correction: This issue has been fixed. Tags can now be added successfully while editing customers.
Complaint: When a customer had a labor type override set, it did not replace the job template's labor type when adding a job.
Correction: Fixed.
Complaint: The true/false filters on the “Item Types” editor were not functioning correctly.
Correction: This bug has been resolved. Filters now work properly on the Item Types editor.
Complaint: When editing a machine that originally had an inactive model, switching it to an active model sometimes resulted in an error stating the model was inactive.
Correction: This issue has been fixed. Machines can now be updated from inactive models to active models without error.
Complaint: On the Work Order Dashboard, when attempting to invoice a work order, users sometimes saw no response at all if an error occurred. The page simply did nothing after clicking "Invoice."
Correction: We’ve fixed this issue. Users will now see a clear error message whenever an error prevents invoicing, improving visibility and troubleshooting.
Complaint: Users reported that when editing a machine, there was no clear indication if the assigned model was inactive. This created confusion when working with machines tied to outdated or discontinued models.
Correction: We’ve updated the edit view for machines to clearly show when the assigned model is inactive, giving users better visibility and reducing confusion when managing machine records. Users will be shown an error message when attempting to save a machine with an inactive model.
Complaint: When creating a new machine, if a user entered a model name that already existed but was inactive, the system would silently link the new machine to that inactive model. This left the machine in a broken state because its model was disabled.
Correction: We’ve improved the machine creation flow. If a user tries to create a model that matches an inactive one, the system now blocks machine creation and displays the inactive model’s ID with instructions. Users must either reactivate the existing model or select another before proceeding, preventing machines from being tied to disabled models.
Complaint: Users were unable to assign “Primary” or “Secondary” salesperson relationships to a customer.
Correction: Fixed
Complaint: When a sale included an “Other Payment” in addition to a payment on account, the other payment line transferred to QuickBooks without a tax code. This caused it to inherit the regular tax rules of the sale, which resulted in incorrect tax amounts being applied.
Correction: We updated the invoice and memo posting logic so that all “Other Payments” are automatically assigned the “Exempt” tax code (0% rate) for Canadian tenants. This prevents those payment lines from inheriting standard tax rules, ensuring QuickBooks invoices reflect accurate tax amounts.
Complaint: Some Purchase Orders were generating PDFs with missing item details caused by an item description containing special characters.
Correction: Fixed.
Complaint: The Customer Balance report was sometimes crashing when users selected a long date range.
Correction: Fixed.
Complaint: When quoting a model and adding a custom option with a price, the shown Discount % was calculated using only the base model price, ignoring the custom option(s). This sometimes resulted in an incorrect or even negative discount being displayed.
Correction: Fixed.
Last week the Flyntlok team held their annual fantasy football draft. Ivan is looking to stay on top of his game as won BOTH last year’s football league as well as the March Madness contest. And ESPN rated his team one of the top teams in our league this season. Can anyone take him down? Certainly not Dylan who is the only one thus far to not pay his entry fees and might be kicked out before the season even starts.
If you are looking to root for a low-odds victor, cheer for Isabelle who picked her team using ChatGPT creating a squad based on Taylor Swift puns. If Isabelle the Anti-Hero manages to beat Ivan, he will never be able to Shake it Off, and when he gets angry she will simply tell him, “You Need to Calm Down.”
Stay tuned for regular updates!
August 13th, 2025 Release Notes
Learn More at Flyntlok Dealer Management System
Check out our Flyntlok YouTube channel for more highlights of the application!
Opportunity:
Service Managers at dealerships that service fleet-owned vehicles have requested the ability to associate a customer’s fleet card with a Work Order for a vehicle so that they can ensure that parts orders on that Work Order receive the appropriate fleet discounts from part vendors.
Solution:
For dealer locations that accept fleet cards, a selector has been added to the Work Order creation form that allows the user to select from a list of saved fleet cards for a customer. A new fleet card can be added by clicking the “+ New” icon next to the selector and filling out the form. On the Work Order dashboard, fleet card information is displayed in the customer section and can be edited. When Parts Orders are added to the Work Order, the fleet card is associated with the resulting invoice and can be used to receive vendor discounts the same as would be done on a standard Sales Order.
Opportunity:
Service Managers have requested the ability to require a note be entered when a job status is changed so that they can ensure processes are being followed correctly.
Solution:
A comment box has been added to the “Change Job Status” modal. This can be turned into a required input on the “Flyntlok Settings” page. The note entered into the text field will appear in the “Activity” slider.
Note: This feature is Flyntlok controlled, please contact your friendly Flyntlok consultant if you would like this feature added to your environment.
Opportunity:
Service Managers have stated that the inability to save and quickly apply custom filter configurations in the job scheduler results in a time-consuming process, as they have to reset filters for every session. This inefficiency hampers the scheduling of services and overall workflow management.
Solution:
To address this issue, a feature that allows the saving and quick application of custom filter layouts has been introduced. Users can now save their current filter settings under a unique name for easy identification and reuse as well as select, update, or delete saved filter layouts.
Continued Mobile Enhancements for CRM Leads - (Ticket #FD-2902)
Opportunity:
Salespeople have been requesting more extensive mobile support for our existing CRM Leads feature. This will help salespeople on-the-move keep up with their projects and log any changes that happen while they are away from their computers.
Solution:
So many new features for the Mobile Leads page! The editing and filtering functionality is now almost as exhaustive as the Desktop version.
Opportunity:
Salespeople have requested we add additional fields to the "All Leads" report that will display the Lead’s associated Machine(s) and associated Model(s).
Solution:
We have added Machine and Model Categories to the "All Leads" report, which will display the associated Machines/Models of a CRM Lead when available.
Opportunity:
Sales Managers have expressed the need to improve the handling of high-volume quantity model quotes and sales on the point-of-sale system.
Solution:
An option has been made available to present multiple model lines as quantities when printing or emailing a sales order. This should improve the readability and reduce the number of pages needed when displaying a high volume of the same model on a single sales order.
In this example, there are 10 machines of the same model that is being sold, with serialized machines allocated:
Opportunity:
Sales Managers have stated that when using kits, they are uncertain about how the order of items and models will be applied to a sales order. In some use cases, a specific arrangement of items is required to qualify for vendor credits, rebates, or other incentive programs. They have requested the ability for kits to be configured and saved in a specific order.
Solution:
The previous version did not maintain any specific list order when a kit was configured on an item, nor was there any way to know what it would look like when adding it to a sales order. This new feature introduces the ability to arrange kit items and models as needed. You can now move these lines up or down as needed by dragging and dropping the lines:
Opportunity:
On a printed Sales Order, there is an asterisk that appears on a line item that indicates the part was special ordered. Salespeople have requested we add this asterisk to the “Special Ordered” lines of the Packing Slip.
Solution:
We have added an asterisk to Special Ordered lines of the Packing Slip.
Opportunity:
Rental Managers have requested the ability to collect customer signatures using Clover devices to speed up the process of signing a Rental Contract.
Solution:
“Collect Signature” has been added as an option under the “Actions” dropdown on the Rental Dashboard. Clicking this will display a pop-up that allows the user to ask for a signature on the selected Clover device. Once the customer signs the device, a signed PDF copy of the contract is attached to the contract. The user also has the option now to see an unsigned copy of the rental contract under the “Actions” dropdown by clicking on “Print Lease Agreement.”
New Lead Phone Numbers not Recognized-(Ticket #50217)
Complaint:
Salespeople reported an issue where Flyntlok would sometimes misinterpret phone numbers provided by phone systems when creating new leads from phone calls.
Cause/Correction:
Fixed. Flyntlok will recognize phone numbers when creating leads regardless of whether or not the number supplied includes a (+) or a country code.
Kit Order Quantity Adjustment -(Ticket #50350, 50480)
Complaint:
Users were experiencing an issue where Inventory Kits were not correctly handling quantity on a Sales Order. When attempting to change the quantity of a Kit, Flyntlok would display an error message and the Kits quantity was not updated.
Cause/Correction:
Fixed.
Complaint:
Purchasers using the latest version of Outlook had reported an issue where they could not upload an .EML file as an attachment on a Purchase Order.
Cause/Correction:
Fixed.
Complaint:
Purchasing Managers had experienced an issue where Machine Purchase Plans were not being generated if the Model of the Machine had attachable options.
Cause/Correction:
Fixed.
Complaint:
Flyntlok users had reported an issue where a Machine’s external URL could not be cleared once set on the machine’s definition page.
Cause/Correction:
Fixed.
Complaint:
Service Managers had reported an issue where the "Performance" tab and "Info" tab on Work Orders were including Warranty jobs in the fee calculations.
Cause/Correction:
Fixed. Warranty jobs will no longer be factored into fee totals on the Info and Performance tab of Work Orders.
Complaint:
Salespeople had reported an issue where they were unable to load a Draft Purchase Order. When the user would attempt to create a draft PO from the Vendor Dashboard, Vendors with large data sets (over 16,000 Items) the page would time out and would result in a blank white screen.
Cause/Correction:
Fixed.

Opportunity:
Salespeople and managers need a way to create/edit tasks and assign them to themselves or others as a way of keeping track of required steps for their sales process. This will make it easier to keep track of projects that may require multiple steps towards completion.
Solution:
We have added a new module! A new page to create and maintain Tasks has been added under the CRM tab on the left-hand navigator bar. From there, users can open a Task, assign Tasks to specific salespeople, and set the Task’s status, priority, and due date. The table reflects the days since the Task has been created as well as the days until it is marked due. One can also choose to add columns to view the Task’s description, date created, date completed, or whom it was created by. Editable columns can be edited in-line simply by clicking on the column in the grid and changing the value. It will automatically save when you leave the field. All details on a Task can be edited by clicking on the “Name” hyperlink, which will open the Task into a modal window.
This is just the very initial release of our Tasks module. We have great hopes and dreams for its future and those will be incrementally rolled out. Such enhancements will include:
This is just the beginning!
Opportunity:
Service Managers have requested the ability to set the status of individual Jobs on a Work Order. Having this ability will allow them to more easily schedule and prioritize Jobs across their team and will also make it easier to keep track of outstanding Job-related tasks like parts ordering and warranty claim submission.
Solution:
An editable status has been added to the Job header on the Work Order dashboard. This status also appears on the left-hand side of the screen in each item in the list of jobs. Currently, the list of job statuses contains the same statuses available on the Work Order.
Note: This feature is Flyntlok controlled, please contact your friendly Flyntlok consultant if you would like this feature added to your environment.
Opportunity:
Service Managers have requested the ability to schedule individual Jobs from a Work Order, not just the Work Order itself. This will make it easier to schedule individual Jobs on a Work Order to different technicians and at different times.
Solution:
A new page has been added under the Service tab to schedule Work Order Jobs. From there, Service Managers can schedule specific Jobs to technicians, providing more flexibility than the Work Order Scheduler. You can simply drag the Job to the time slot for the specific tech. Additionally, both the scheduled technician(s) as well as the scheduled time(s) will be reflected on the Work Order Job. Furthermore, one job can be assigned to multiple technicians. When this is done, the scheduled time on the Work Order Job will start at the earliest scheduled time, and end at the latest.
If a Work Order was created with techs assigned on that level, but not to any Jobs, then the “Assigned Technicians” column will be populated with the aforementioned Techs, but the “Scheduled” column will be empty because no techs or schedules were assigned on the Job level.
Opportunity:
Service Managers have requested the ability to view an estimate of taxes on Work Orders. With this feature, Service Managers can quote work more accurately which will allow them to better inform their customers.
Solution:
There is a new section on Work Orders and Estimates for taxes, and they are broken down similar to fees. You will now be able to view this tax estimation from:
Note: This feature is Flyntlok controlled, please contact your friendly Flyntlok consultant if you would like this feature added to your environment.
Opportunity:
Flyntlok adds a banner to the Work Order dashboard when a "Final Invoice" is generated that contains a link to the Invoice. Service managers have requested we add additional banners if the Work Order is associated with more than one Final Invoice.
Solution:
We have updated the Work Orders banners to handle multiple Final Invoices, and Flyntlok will now display a banner for each individual Final invoice generated from the WO. The banner will display the Invoice "Type" and "ID number". Selecting the link will open the associated Final Invoice.
Paying for Outstanding Sales Orders-(Ticket #IHK 1824)
Opportunity:
The Multi-pay Invoice system, designed with user-friendliness in mind, allows you to collect one payment for multiple outstanding Sales Orders for a given customer. Flyntlok Administrators have reported instances where their users will generate a multi-pay invoice and then forget they have done so. If the same outstanding order(s) are added to another order, the order cannot be processed into Delivered status.
Solution:
We have added an icon to the “Multi-pay” pop-up to indicate which outstanding Sales Orders are currently on a multi-pay invoice. Hovering over the icon will display a message containing the Invoice ID Number. This setting is informational only and will not restrict you from adding a marked outstanding SO to an alternate Invoice; Flyntlok will transfer those invoices to a newly generated multi-pay invoice.
Opportunity:
Sales Managers have requested an enhancement for Sales Order reports to include not just a signature field but also a designated space for the customer to print their name.
Solution:
We have updated the Sales Order report template, and now, alongside the signature field, there is a clearly marked space for the customer to print their name.
Note: This feature is Flyntlok controlled, please contact your friendly Flyntlok consultant if you would like this added onto your SO reports.
Opportunity:
Last release we added an option to hide part numbers on the Sales Order report on the "Details" tab of the Sales Order page. Service Managers have now requested we allow users to make the "Hide part numbers on report" box selected by default.
Solution:
We have added a new setting to the "Flyntlok Settings" page which will allow administrators to set the "Hide part numbers on report" by default. Administrators can access the Flyntlok Settings page by selecting the option from the 
icons drop-down menu. (Wrench->Flyntlok->Flyntlok Settings)
Opportunity:
Purchasing Managers have requested we allow "Purchasing Messages" to be searchable when using the prefix (O, O?) from the Flyntlok homepage searcher.
Solution:
We have updated the search parameters of the pre-fix (O, O?) to include "purchasing messages." Flyntlok will now include "Purchasing Message" containing the referenced information in the search results list.
Complaint:
Salespeople had reported instances where an item's QOH was manually changed, but there is no description of why, causing confusion when managing Inventory.
Cause/Correction:
We have added an optional comments field to the Items "Change QOH" form, where users can add a custom note when changing QOH. Once posted you can view these comments in that item’s transaction history.
Complaint:
Purchasing Managers had reported an issue where machines on a Machine Purchase Order were not updated with the vendor invoice number after the Vendor Invoice Number was added to the Receiving Voucher.
Cause/Correction:
Fixed. When a Vendor Invoice Number is added to a Machine Receiving Voucher, Flyntlok will display a pop-up that allows the user to choose whether or not they want to apply the voucher-level vendor invoice number to all Machines of the Voucher.
Complaint:
Due to its placement on the page, key financial information about a Machine can be difficult to see, and we have received multiple requests (including from our highly esteemed CEO) to make a Machine's pricing information more visible on the Machine Dashboard page.
Cause/Correction:
Some of the important machine information has been moved to the top of the Machine Info section on the Machine Dashboard. These fields include the list price, cost, margin, and value of the machine; you can view each of these by clicking the arrow next to the list price.

Work Order Request-(Ticket #2868)
Opportunity:
Service Managers overseeing Service Departments require other internal departments (i.e. that aren’t the Service Department) to submit “Service Requests” instead of allowing them to directly create their own Work Orders. They would like a "Service Request" option to be added to the Machine Dashboard page where users can generate and submit requests to the Service Department for the specific Machine. When “Service Requests” are submitted, they should be added to a list that a Service manager can review.
Solution:
We have added a “Service Request” option to the “Actions” button’s drop-down menu on the Machine Dashboard page, allowing you to submit a request for service on the specific Machine. Submitted requests will land on a “Service Requests” report, where managers can review, accept, and reject the requests.
Create Service Request for Machine Form
Fields on the “Service Request” Form (All fields are required with the exception of “Work to be Completed”):
Service Request Report
Service Writers and Managers can now utilize the “Service Requests” report for reviewing, approving, and rejecting submitted requests. Flyntlok will auto-generate a new WO for “Approved” requests and the user can click on the link displayed if they wish to then view the WO. Rejected requests will be removed from the submitted view.
This report will, by default, show only submitted requests but can be filtered to show all previously approved/rejected requests.
Note: Please contact your Flyntlok consultant if you would like to start using this Feature!
Opportunity:
Service Managers requiring their users to log data of Machines associated with Service Work Orders have requested we add a warning message to the WO Dashboard if the associated Machine is missing Serial Number, Model Type, or Engine Serial Number information.
Solution:
We have added a new warning message to the Work order Dashboard, which will display if the WO associated Machine is missing any of the following information: Machine Serial Number, Model Type, Engine Serial Number.
Opportunity:
Salespeople have requested mobile support for our existing CRM Leads features. This will allow them to stay on top of their leads no matter where they are and should make it easier to keep in contact with their customers and prospects. And hopefully win more business!
Solution:
We have introduced a “Mobile Leads” page that will allow users to view and search their Leads. Additionally, users are able to reach out to a Primary Contact from a lead on mobile via phone or email. When viewing the Lead, important information is presented on one tab, while another tab contains a timeline showing the history of the lead.
Opportunity:
Based on feedback from Flyntlok users, we have made further improvements to the Part Receiving Voucher and the auto-allocation capabilities.
Solution:
We have consolidated the multiple lines on a Part Receiving Voucher so there is only one line per part. Furthermore, we have improved the allocation modal window to better display orders that can be allocated to, as well as orders that have already received allocations. Sales Orders can also now be marked as “Priority” for receiving allocations, and that priority will be displayed for each order in the modal window. Lastly, we have added some summary columns on the consolidated line to give information about allocations at a glance.
Opportunity:
Machine Receivers have requested a more streamlined process to allocate machines when receiving them. This will speed up receiving and get machines to customers faster.
Solution:
We have added a new button under the Actions dropdown on Machine Receiving Vouchers that will pop open a new modal window for machine allocations. From here, users can allocate machines to open orders that are requesting machines of the same model. Sales Orders can now be marked as “Priority” for receiving allocations, and that priority will be displayed for each order in the modal window.
the allocated machine. This will present users with a list of machines of the same model from stock, or from other Sales Orders where a machine is available. Why might you want to “swap”? Let’s say you have a whole pallet of chainsaws that came in and you just want to hand your customer one of them, but you don’t want to search for the exact serialized machine that was allocated. Well, just grab one and swap it with the one originally allocated!
Opportunity:
Users utilizing a "Date at US Port Date" field on the Machine Purchase Order have requested we add this category as a column option to their "All Machines" report.
Solution:
We have added a "Date at US Port' option to the column chooser of the "All Machines" report. Users can now add this field to their report by selecting the “Edit Columns” icon and then drag/dropping it into the report.
Opportunity:
Flyntlok users have requested the option to hide Part Numbers on the printed Sales Order.
Solution:
We have added an option to the Sales Order's "Details" tab, that will remove part numbers from that one individual Sales Order’s PDF reports. Flyntlok will still display Part Numbers on Sales Order PDF reports by default, but can be manually changed for any individual Sale.
Opportunity:
Rental Managers have requested that rental contract line items that have already been fully billed out on previous invoices do not create $0.00 lines on subsequent invoices. Having such $0 lines makes the invoice page and the printed invoice jumbled and unpleasant to look at. Who needs that?
Solution:
We have updated Rental Invoice settings and the Rental Contract line items that have been previously paid-in-full will no longer appear on subsequent Rental Invoices.
Opportunity:
Rental Managers have requested we add a warning message to the Rental Contract Dashboard that will display when the associated Customer of a Rental Contract is NOT an "Account Customer" and the customer doesn’t have a credit card saved to their profile.
Solution:
We have added a new banner to the Rental Contract Dashboard saying ‘NO CREDIT CARD ON FILE'. This will be displayed when the Rental Contract’s associated Customer is NOT an account customer AND the customer doesn’t have a credit card saved to their profile.
Complaint:
Service Managers had reported an issue where the printed copy of a Work Order was excluding the "Parts" subtotal if the WO was set to charge a flat-rate "Billing Style."
Cause/Correction:
Fixed.
Complaint:
Salespeople had reported instances where Items were being duplicated in the "Item Alternates" section of an Item's Dashboard.
Cause/Correction:
Fixed.
Complaint:
Flyntlok users had reported an issue where the "Create Core Item" modal was allowing duplicate Items to be created.
Cause/Correction:
Fixed. We have disabled duplicate Item creation for the "Create Core Item" modal, and Flyntlok will now display a "Duplicate Item" message and prompt you to choose a new Item Number.

Opportunity:
Flyntlok users purchasing equipment from an alternate system have requested the option to import these orders into Flyntlok’s Machine Purchase Order system.
Solution:
We have added an "Import" option to the 
button's drop-down menu on the Machine Purchase Order page. Selecting this option will open the "Import MPO" modal allowing you to choose a file from your device to import into the Purchase Order. Flyntlok will then display the Machine information pulled from the imported file, allowing you to review the information and map columns accordingly. Selecting "Submit" will add recognized Machines from the import to the Purchase Order.
The “Import MPO” will accept CSV, TSV, XLS, XLSX, ODS file formats that contain, at minimum, a column with the desired Machine’s “Make” and a column with the Machine’s “Model.” User must check the prompted box if the imported file contains a first-row header.
Image from the Model Dashboard. Values from import file must match these from Dashboard.
Sample File.
Note: Only Machines recognized within Flyntlok will be added to the Purchase Order. Both the Make and Model fields within the file must match the fields in the Model dashboard within Flyntlok. Non-matching records will not be imported.
Opportunity:
Salespeople have requested the ability to set a custom discounted List Price on a Model for specific customers so that each time that customer buys a Machine of that Model, there is a default discounting rate set. This will save users time from having to re-add the discount from the Point of Sale and serve as a reminder that the customer has that discount available.
Solution:
To incorporate Model Specific Pricing on the customer level, we have added a “Model” option to the "Customer Discount Pricing" modal located on the Customer Dashboard page. While this modal was previously only for Item Discounts, we have renamed the option from "Item Discounts" to "Item/Model Discounts" and have added a toggle option to search Items or Models. Once you have selected "Search Models", you can add and edit individual Model discounts and set a specific expiration date for the discount.
We have also updated the discount structure of the Point of Sale to incorporate the Customer Model discounts so that you can save a new discount directly from this screen back to the Customer record. When adjusting/discounting the list price of a line item from the POS, Flyntlok will now give you the option to save that discount to the associated Customer's records.
Opportunity:
Service Managers that require their technicians to log the Hours and Miles of the associated Machine when checking-in to a Work Order Job, have requested we add a warning message to the Work Order's dashboard to indicate if the associated Machine is missing the meter history.
Solution:
We have added a new setting to the "Flyntlok Settings" page titled “Warn if Missing Machine Details”. When this setting is enabled Flyntlok will display a large warning at the top of the screen if the Work Order’s associated Machine is missing information.
Opportunity:
In our last Release, we updated the Work Order settings to auto-generate a "Machine Move" when Pick-Up/Delivery is required for the associated Machine of a WO. Our next improvement for this feature is to add an indicator of the Machine Move to the Work Order dashboard and allow for edits to be made to the WO to be reflected on the associated Move.
Solution:
We have added a "Machine Move" field to the Pick/Delivery section of the Work Order’s "Info Tab”, and Flyntlok will display the associated Move’s ID Number in this field when available. Selecting the ID Number will open the "Machine Move." We have also updated the settings of the Moves System, and Moves generated from a WO will respect all edits made to the Work Order's associated Customer, Machine, or Pick-up/Delivery schedule.
Opportunity:
On the "Customer" Tab of the Sales Order page, Flyntlok provides several fields where users can log additional Sales Order information. Sales Managers tracking the Sales Order "Source" and "Type" have requested we make these fields required.
Solution:
We have added two new settings to the Flyntlok settings page: "Require Source on Sales Orders before Processing" and "Require Type on Sales Orders before Processing." When enabled, these settings will prevent users from Selecting the "Process" button on a Sales Order unless the required field(s) are filled. Administrators can access these settings from the Flyntlok Settings page by selecting the option from the 
icons drop-down menu. (Wrench-> Flyntlok-> Flyntlok Settings)
Opportunity:
Rental Managers have reported instances where unused Rental Consumables are still being represented on the contract's Invoice but with a quantity of 0. To alleviate customer confusion they have requested we remove unused Consumables from the Rental Contracts Invoice.
Solution:
We have updated the Rental Invoice settings and unused Consumables will no longer populate Rental Invoices.
Opportunity:
When associating a Machine with a CRM Lead, Flyntlok auto-adjusts the searching function of the machine searcher from available "Inventory Machines" to the specific Customer’s "Owned Machines" when a Lead is associated with a Flyntlok customer. Salespeople have requested the option to edit the search function manually.
Solution:
We have added a filter to the CRM Lead Dashboard's machine searcher that will allow you to toggle the searching function from "Sellable", which will show a list of all Available and OnOrder machines, to "All" which will show a list of all machines that are customer-owned and available.
Complaint:
Rental Managers had reported an issue where Rental Contracts created via a Machine Reservation were being generated without the requested dates from the reservation.
Cause/Correction:
Fixed. We resolved a bug that was not allowing Flyntlok to respect time-zone configurations. Rental Contracts created from a Machine reservation will generate with the Dates Reserved pulled from the reservation.
Complaint:
Service Managers had reported an issue where the "Technician" field was not populating all their available Service Techs into the drop-down menu when accessed from the "Mobile View."
Cause/Correction:
Fixed.

Check out our Flyntlok YouTube channel for more highlights of the application!
Opportunity:
In our last Release, we added an "Allocate" option to the Item Receiving Voucher, allowing users to automatically allocate an Item's received stock to outstanding Invoices containing Special Ordered or Back-Ordered Items. Our next iteration will be to group together multiple allocated lines on the Receiving Voucher and allow you to adjust the auto-allocation strategy manually.
Solution:
We have updated the Item Receiving Voucher to group together all of the Item’s individual allocations together for easier viewing and managing. We have also added an “Allocations” column, which will display the allocation status of each item line of the voucher, and, finally, we made a slight change to the “Allocate” option from the 
button’s drop-down menu (which now displays as “Allocate All”). Finally, we have created the ability to prioritize the allocation of Received Items to a particular Sales Order.
All Allocated line items will be grouped together under a parent line of the Item. You can expand and collapse allocated sub-sections of the item line by selecting the "arrow" icon on the left-hand side of the line. We have also added an "Expand All" 
and "Collapse All" 
option to the action icons list.
-This icon indicates that the line has been allocated. Selecting the icon will allow you to remove the allocation from the chosen Invoice.
-This icon indicates that the line has not been allocated. Selecting this icon will allow you to choose from a list of outstanding Invoices to assign the received quantity to.
Users can manually override an allocation by selecting the icon. The user will then be presented with a drop down list of Open Orders to choose from. If there is not enough of the item to fully allocate to that item, it will allocate what is available and the rest will remain as back-ordered.
We have added a “Prioritize Special Order Receives” check box to the "Details" tab of the Sales Order page. When a SO is marked as a “Special Order Priority”, Flyntlok will automatically move this Sales Order to the top of the Outstanding Invoice queue, bypassing older, non-prioritized orders. Flyntlok will allocate an Item’s Received Quantity to the ”Prioritized” invoices before the oldest outstanding non-prioritized order. Prioritized Invoices themselves are then “prioritized” by oldest to newest before moving to non-Prioritized Invoices.
Opportunity:
Service Managers have requested the option to create, schedule, and track Machine Transfers directly from the Work Order dashboard when Pick-up or Delivery is required for the associated Machine. They would like this option to be available for all Machines associated with the WO; both actual Machines known within Flyntlok and Virtual Machines.
Solution:
Flyntlok will now auto-generate a new Machine Move when pickup/delivery is scheduled for the associated Machine of a Work Order.
The generated "Move" will provide a link back to the Work Order in the "Comments" section.
Opportunity:
Flyntlok customers in Canada have requested the option to apply a Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) to their Sales Orders. HST is a combination of federal and provincial taxes levied on most goods and services sold for domestic consumption, which the customer pays.
Solution:
We have added a Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) option for companies operating in Canada. Please reach out to your friendly consultant if you would like any additional information about applying the HST to your Sales Orders.
Opportunity:
Service Managers have requested the option to add a default "Labor Type" for a specific Customer, so that when the customer is added to a Work Order, Flyntlok will auto-set the Labor field for all jobs associated with a Work Order.This is most typically requested for “Internal Labor” Work Orders.
Solution:
We have added a "Default Labor Type" field to the Customer Dashboard's "Edit" page, allowing managers to set Work Order Labor Type for the specific customer. When the "Default Labor Type" is set, all associated Service Jobs associated with the Customer will be automatically set to the selected "Default Labor Type."
Opportunity:
If an Inventory Item has alternate parts, Flyntlok will display those items on the Items Dashboard in the "Item Information" section. Salespeople have requested the option to display more than one alternate Item.
Solution:
We have updated the "Alternates" section of the Item Dashboard, and Flyntlok will now display up to four Alternates in the "Item Information" section. If the Item has more than four Alternates, Flyntlok displays the first four and indicates how many other alternate parts the item has available with an option to "Show All."
Opportunity:
Rental Managers have requested the option to add additional Model information to the Rental Contract's Lease Agreement. They would like the ability to link a website to the Lease Agreement, where the recipient can be directed to the webpage in order to review information on the associated Model of their Rental Contract (for example, a YouTube video demonstrating how to operate the equipment).
Solution:
We have updated the Lease Agreement as well as the Model Info page and you will now have the option to save a website’s URL to a specific Model. We have added two new fields to the Model Information section of the Model Dashboard titled "Primary Support URL" and Secondary Support URL" which will allow you to input the URL of the support website(s) you'd like customers directed to. Once the support URL is saved to the Model’s information, Flyntlok will automatically add a QR Code for the website(s) to the Lease Agreement when a Machine of that Model is added to a Rental Contract.
Flyntlok will display the QR code(s) on a second page, with a message prompting the recipient to scan the code to learn more about the Model.
Note-Please contact your friendly Flyntlok consultant if you would like this feature set up.
Complaint:
Rental Managers had experienced issues when attempting to invoice a Rental Contract when the associated Machine had been replaced with an alternate Model. While the user could swap the associated Machine on the Rental Contract's Dashboard, the Invoice generated was incorrectly charging for both the replaced Machine and the new Machine.
Cause/Correction:
Fixed.
Default Curser Into Text Box (WO Parts Request Note)-(Ticket # IHK 47985)
Complaint:
Service Technicians requesting parts to complete Service Jobs directly from the Work Order Dashboard requested that we default the cursor to the text box when the add note button is clicked.
Cause/Correction:
Fixed. When requesting parts from the Work Order Dashboard, Flyntlok will auto-focus the curser into the text box when the 
button is selected. Yeah, another two-second item, but when you ask, you shall receive! (Plus, I think our developers like to 'pad their stats' with items like this...)
Unable to add Items to "Quick Order" if Vendor is Set as a Distributor-(Ticket # IHK 47985)
Complaint:
Purchasing Managers had reported an issue where they could not add Items to a Purchase Order when attempting to create a "Quick Order" for Vendors set as "Distributors." The Item Searcher inside the "Quick Order" modal of the Vendor Dashboard was not populating the alternate Vendors’ Items distributed by the Vendor.
Cause/Correction:
Fixed. The Item searcher of the Vendor Dashboard "Quick Order" option will populate all Items that the Vendor distributes.

Check out our Flyntlok YouTube channel for more highlights of the application!
Opportunity:
Flyntlok customers integrated with "Record360" have requested the ability to generate a “one-time user authorization code” within Flyntlok, which can then be sent to their customers and will grant the recipient temporary access to the Record 360 mobile application to complete necessary Machine inspections on the company's behalf.
Solution:
The Flyntlok development team has added a "Generate One Time User" option to the Rental Contract’s “Actions” button’s drop-down menu, which will allow companies integrated with "Record360" to create and send a "One Time User" authorization code to their customers via email or SMS message.
The “Generate O.T.U.” form requires users to add their customer’s contact information and the branch location of the Rental Contract. Flyntlok will automatically display the associated Machine’s Serial Number in the field. When the CREATE button is selected, Flyntlok will immediately generate and send the O.T.U. authorization link to the specified customer. Note: Flyntlok will default to SMS messaging if a phone number is added.
Recipients will receive an SMS message/email containing a link to the Record360 mobile application. If they do not have the application previously downloaded to their device, they will be prompted to download it. From here, they will be able to complete the machine inspections.
Opportunity:
Purchasing Managers have requested the option to allocate an Item Purchase Order’s “received quantity” to outstanding Special Ordered or Back-Ordered Invoices. They would like the ability to auto-allocate the stock upon receipt to outstanding Invoices awaiting Special Ordered or Back-Ordered Items and for Flyntlok to allocate based on the date ordered (fulfilling oldest Invoices first).
Solution:
We have added an "Allocate" option to the Item Receiving Voucher. When selected, Flyntlok will search for all Part Requests and allocate the Items received and their quantity to outstanding invoices. This will greatly improve receiving efficiency and allow inventory to be disbursed quickly to the appropriate Invoices with the click of a button.
Opportunity:
Salespeople of Agco parts have requested the ability to export Orders from Agco’s Epsilon platform’s “Shopping Cart” as a flat file that can then be imported into the Flyntlok Point of Sale system.
Solution:
We have updated the Sales Order importer to handle Agco files, and users can now import Agco CSV files into a Flyntlok Sales Order by hitting the import button at the top of the POS page.
Selecting the icon will allow you to upload saved files on your device. Once the CSV file is loaded, Flyntlok will run a search to match the uploaded items' ID numbers with your Flyntlok Inventory. Only items matching Item Numbers within Flyntlok will be added to the Sales Order. Flyntlok will then display a list of all the Items from the file, the Item’s order quantity, and an indicator of whether the item was matched with an Item in Flyntlok.
Opportunity:
Rental Managers have requested that we allow their rental schedule to account for rentals based on an hourly schedule versus the current functionality based on a daily schedule. This will allow for Machines to be rented multiple times in a 24 hour period.
Solution:
The Flyntlok development team has updated the Rental Contract settings, and Administrators can now request to have their rental schedules and billing structures calculated based on hourly use. When this setting is activated, Flyntlok will allow hours to be logged from the "Dates Reserved" field on the creation page & contract details section of the contract.
Once saved, the "Billable Duration" field will display on the Rental Contract in the "Details" section. On each machine line, Flyntlok will respect and display exact hours.
To incorporate hours in the billing calculations, we have updated the Rental Schedule and added two new fields: "Hourly Utilization Allowed" and "Overage Charge (Per Machine HR)." This will allow users to set a custom rate to charge for Machines checked in late.
Opportunity:
Rental Managers have requested a quick way to determine whether a Rental Contract’s associated customer is an “Account Customer”.
Solution:
We have added Account Customer icons to the “Customer” field of the Rental Contract’s “Details” section to indicate to users whether the contract’s associated Customer is set as an Account Customer.
icon, hovering over this icon will display a “Has Account” message.
icon, and hovering over this icon will display a “No Customer Account” message.
Opportunity:
Salespeople have requested we require users to add a note when attempting to change the status of a CRM Lead, and would like for the note to be displayed on the associated Lead's dashboard in the timeline records.
Solution:
We have added a new setting to the "Flyntlok Settings" page (Admin Editor Wrench-> Flyntlok-> Flyntlok Settings) that will allow administrators the option to require notes when changing the status of a CRM Lead.
Opportunity:
Salespeople have requested the option to create custom SMS templates that will autofill their customer's names and the associated Machine's information when sending messages via the "Conversations" tab of the Lead dashboard page.
Solution:
We have added two Variables to the CRM Lead dashboard's “SMS Templates Manager”, which will allow salespeople to create custom SMS templates that will be automatically filled with the customer contact’s name and the associated Machine’s make/model.
icon.Opportunity:
Flyntlok users have requested we log customer contact emails sent from the CRM Lead Dashboard in the Lead’s “History Timeline”.
Solution:
Flyntlok will now log Customer email actions taken on the CRM Lead Dashboard page. When the email option is selected from the Lead Dashboard, Flyntlok will now create a new timeline event with the name of the user who performed the action and a time stamp. The user’s standard email application (e.g. Outlook) is used to send the actual email and Flyntlok does not log the actual contents of the email.
Opportunity:
Managers overseeing Service Departments that only service their own equipment have requested the option to set a their "Internal Work Order Customer" as the default for all Work Orders.
Solution:
We have added a new setting to the Flyntlok settings page which will allow administrators to choose a Customer to set as the default for new Work Orders. Creating a new Work Order via the 
icon or from the Left Navigation Menu’s "New" tab will auto populate the “Default Customer” into the customer field. Users can access the Flyntlok Settings page by selecting the option from drop-down menu of the admin wrench.
(
->Flyntlok->Flyntlok Settings.)
Opportunity:
Service Managers have requested the option to assign a Service Technician and Labor Type to all jobs of a particular Work Order. This will save time by removing the need to manually adjust each job.
Solution:
We have added a "Bulk Edit Jobs" option to the "Actions" button's drop-down menu, allowing Service managers to choose a particular Technician and Labor Type to assign to all jobs associated with the Work Order. Flyntlok will automatically apply the changes when selecting the "Save" button.
Complaint:
Service Managers, who were reusing Work Order Tag numbers, had reported instances where the "Tag" field of the Work order creation page was giving a warning that the "Tag Number is in use." However, there was no open Work Order associated with the Tag Number.
Cause/Correction:
We have updated the "Tag" field on the Work Order creation page to remove the warning if the previous Work Order with the same Tag Number has been Invoiced and the sale is in a Delivered status.
File Attachment Not Sent To QuickBooks-(Ticket #47849)
Complaint:
Purchasing Managers were experiencing issues attempting to upload files to send to QuickBooks Online from the Machine Receiving Voucher. The file was able to be attached to the Voucher but it was not sent to QBO.
Cause/Correction:
Fixed.

Opportunity:
Flyntlok users have requested the ability to manage their Shopify storefront via Flyntlok. They have expressed frustration with attempting to manage orders and inventory both on the Shopify storefront and in Flyntlok. Operating two separate systems exposed businesses to incorrect data entry and needless overhead. We have received multiple requests to provide a solution that bridges this gap.
Solution:
Flyntlok is now ready to reveal our new integration with Shopify! You will now be able to pull orders from Shopify into Flyntlok automatically. Flyntlok will also synch relevant information in your business system with Shopify, including inventory quantity, shipping/tracking labels, shipping weights for shipping cost calculations, and more. Please get in touch with your Flyntlok consultant if you are interested in this integration and we will help you get started. Below we will highlight some key elements of this new integration.
Flyntlok supports adjusting inventory details in Shopify from our Flyntlok Item Dashboards. Flyntlok also supports synchronizing your inventory quantity with Shopify. Once you have linked your Shopify items, Flyntlok will routinely update your Shopify Items including pricing, weight, and inventory information to ensure the data is synched correctly.
Once you have configured your inventory to be synched with Shopify (again, please work with your Flyntlok consultant if you need assistance here), Flyntlok will be able to ingest orders placed through your Shopify storefront into our Point of Sale system. The associated customer's contact information will be pulled from the Shopify order and saved within Flyntlok. This means you can manage your Shopify orders the same way you manage all other orders today. This includes the fulfillment of orders in Flyntlok, synching back up with Shopify, and synching the shipping details from Flyntlok to Shopify.
Flyntlok also supplies reports detailing your Shopify inventory from within Flyntlok. This could help discover discrepancies between Flyntlok's information and Shopify's information, if any. While Flyntlok will maintain synchronization between the data in your Flyntlok account and Shopify, users may still find differences when they intentionally break relationships between Flyntlok and Shopify. Some of our customers have even preferred to manage their pricing on Shopify differently than on Flyntlok. Our reports should help you manage these discrepancies.
Note- Please reach out to your friendly Flyntlok consultant if you have any questions or if you would like assistance connecting your Shopify account with Flyntlok. This feature is game changing!
Opportunity:
Service Managers were finding Work Orders where the Status was not changed properly by their users as the Work Order moved along. When the Status is not progressed properly, then it fails to transfer the responsibility to a correct user/department. Rather than having to rely on manual Status changes by the users, Service Managers have requested the ability to automate a Status change on a Service Work Order when certain key actions have occurred and to have the ability to choose the Status the WO will move to when these actions take place. They would like the Work Order to be set to a specific status when the following events occur:
Solution:
We have implemented “Points of Action” within the Service workflow where Status Changes to a WO can be configured based on the WO's current Status. Below is a sample table illustrating before and after statuses based on the trigger events (you can set your own result statuses based on your workflows).
· 
These automatic status changes will only occur if the specified conditions are met. If they are not, no status changes will occur.
Example-
· If my Work Order is in New status and I send an estimate, then move my Work Order to Estimate status
· If my work order is in Parts Requested status and all parts are received, then move my work order to Parts Received status
In the future, Flyntlok will create a kick-arse front-end utility for our customers to make all of these configurations on their own. However, we wanted to give you folks this Status Change capability sooner rather than later. And so, to that end, you need to work with your Friendly Flyntlok Consultant to get these workflows setup. Give them a call!
Opportunity:
Service Managers have requested that we add a printable "Worksheet" to the Work Order Dashboard so that a Service Technician can work off of a paper copy of the WO. They would like for this printed Worksheet to display:
Solution:
We have added a printable "Worksheet" to the Work Order Dashboard with all of the above details.
Opportunity:
We recently released a new feature to the Work Order Creation page that prevents fees from being added to a new Work Order if the associated customer is an Internal Customer. Service Managers using this feature have requested that we also add a warning to the Work Order Dashboard if the original customer of a WO is changed to an Internal Customer from a standard customer and there were fees applied to that WO.
Solution:
We have added an “Internal Customer- Remove all fees” warning message to the Customer field of the WO’s info tab. This message will display when the original customer of a WO is changed to an Internal Customer and the WO is currently charging fees.
Opportunity:
Service Managers had reported issues where their users had logged the associated Machines Hours and Miles incorrectly when Checking-Inon a Work Order and have requested an indicator of the Machine’s actual miles and hours be added to the Check-In modal. They hope this added visual will help prevent (or at least minimize) data entry errors.
Solution:
Flyntlok will now display the current Miles and Hours of the associated Machine below the fields when checking-in on a Work Order.
Opportunity:
We recently released an "Export to Grasshopper" feature, allowing users to create a file extract that can be uploaded to the Grasshopper distributor for parts ordering. Purchasing Managers using this feature have requested the export respect any filters applied to the PO, so the export will only contain Items displayed within the filtered results.
Solution:
We have updated the "Export to Grasshopper" option, and Flyntlok will now respect all filters applied to the Purchase Order and export only the filtered results. We have also moved the"Export to Grasshopper" option from the 
drop-down menu and added it to the Icon list displayed on the right side of the PO above the line items.
Opportunity:
Service managers have requested we add Work Order Tag Number as a filter option to the "All Work Orders" report of the Mobile View.
Solution:
We have added Work Order Tag number as a filter option to the "All Work Orders" report of the Mobile View. When viewing this report on a mobile device users will now be able to manually enter a Work Order Tag number to filter for the exact match.
Opportunity:
Flyntlok Administrators have requested we update the drop-down menus of the QuickBooks Accounting section from the Flyntlok Dashboard edit pages. They would like the account numbers to display before the account names.
Solution:
We have updated the QuickBooks Accounting section of the Machine, Item and Vendor Dashboard edit pages and the QB Account drop-down menus will now display the account number before the account name. Small item, but we aim to keep the people happy!
Complaint:
Purchasing Managers using the new "Scan Mode" feature from the Machine Receiving Voucher were unable to scan in new serial numbers due to the "REQUIRED" note that was pre-filled in that field. In the process of receiving/creating Machines on a Machine Voucher, Flyntlok adds the new Machines and sets the serial numbers to “REQUIRED” to indicate that a user should change those serial numbers. Our new "Scan Mode" feature on the Machine Receiving Voucher was skipping Machines that have the “REQUIRED” note in the serial number field.
Cause/Correction:
Fixed. We have Removed the ‘REQUIRED’ note from the Serial Number field of Machines created by MPO.
Complaint:
Salespeople had reported an issue where the applied customer Discount Type was not displayed when hovering over the icon from the Point of Sale. In this scenario, Flyntlok would display a default message of "Customer Discount" when hovering over the 
icon versus the correct Discount Type that was applied to the Item.
Cause/Correction:
Fixed. Flyntlok will display the specific Discount Type applied to the item.
Complaint:
Rental Managers had reported an issue where Machines that had been "Called Off" from an active Rental Contract were showing as "Available" before being checked back in.
Cause/Correction:
Fixed. Called off Machines will remain in a "Rented" status until they have been Checked-In on the Rental Contract. Once Checked-In the Machine status will show as "Available."

Opportunity:
Flyntlok Administrators have requested the ability to send emails from Flyntlok using their company email, rather than having emails come from a Flyntlok address. Many recipients were confused when they got an email from Flyntlok rather than from their dealer.
Solution:
We have added a "Microsoft" setting to the "Integrations" page that will allow Administrators to connect a company’s Microsoft Office 365 account within Flyntlok. Once connected, your emails will come from that that address rather than from a Flyntlok address.
This feature is available when emailing:
The Office 365 email address will not be included in emails sent from the “Quick Hit” link on the Lead Dashboard. (This feature is limited to one Microsoft email account per tenant.)
Opportunity:
From the "Actions" drop-down menu of the "Lead Dashboard" page users are able to create new linked transactions, such as Sales Quotes, Rental Contacts, and Work Orders. Sales people have requested the "Sales Quote" option be replaced with a "Sales Order" because our workflow does not allow for orders to go straight to quote status.
Solution:
We have replaced the "Create Sales Quote" option with "Create Sales Order" on the 
buttons drop-down menu.
Opportunity:
Purchasing Managers have requested the ability to choose whether to include “Pending Stock” quantity (the order quantity of Items on the “To Be Ordered” board) with the "Flyntlok Recommended Quantity" when creating new Purchase Orders from the Draft PO page. They also would like the "Pending Stock" quantity from "To Be Ordered" and Stock from "Recommended Quantity" to be displayed on separate lines on the Purchase Order.
Solution:
We have added a new setting to the “Flyntlok Settings” page, allowing Administrators to apply alternate allocation strategies to the “Draft Purchase Order” page. Administrators will be able to choose from three options; “Do Not Allocate Pending Stock,” “Allocate All Pending Stock From Recommended QTY,” and “Add Pending QTY to Recommended QTY.”
This is the original behavior and will serve as the default Allocation Strategy. Flyntlok will only use the Recommended QTY.
Quantity of "Pending Stock" on the "To Be Ordered" board is fulfilled from the Flyntlok Recommended Quantity. Example-"To Be Ordered" shows a quantity of 3, "Flyntlok Recommended Quantity" is 5. You still only order 5, and the 3 others are pulled off of the "To-Be-Ordered" board.
Example-"To Be Ordered" shows a quantity of 3, Flyntlok "Recommended Quantity" is 5; Quantity of 8 is ordered.
Opportunity:
Purchasing managers have requested the ability to scan Item via a barcode scanner when receiving Items on a Receiving Voucher.
Solution:
We have added a "Scan Mode" to the "Item Receiving Voucher." When "Scan Mode" is activated Scanning items via a UPC, EAN, or Item Number will open the Voucher’s Receiving modal for that item. Flyntlok will display a "Duplicate Items Found" error message if an item is scanned more than once. Note- During scan mode other inputs are disabled except for the Receiving modal window.
Opportunity:
Purchasing Managers have requested the ability to use a barcode scanner to enter Machine Serial Numbers when receiving Machines on a Machine Purchase Order.
Solution:
We have added a "Scan Mode" to the Machine Receiving Voucher, which will allow users to quickly scan Machine Serial Numbers via a barcode scanner based on the Model. "Scan Mode" can be activated by selecting the 
icon.
Opportunity:
Machine Purchase Orders in a "Partially Received" status are eligible to be "spilt", which takes the received Machine(s) and moves them to a new PO. Flyntlok Purchasing Managers have requested we add a message to the original Purchase Order to indicate a "Split PO" action has been taken.
Solution:
We have added an informational message to the "Notes" section of the Machine Purchase Order to indicate the PO has been split. Flyntlok will display a "Split To" message on the original Purchase Order and a "Split From" message on the New PO. This message will provide a link to the referenced order.
Opportunity:
We recently added the "Upcoming Maintenance" report to the "Machines" Tab of the Left-Hand Navigation Menu. This report displays a list of upcoming scheduled Machine maintenance and provides information on the Machine and upcoming service. Service managers have requested we add additional categories to the report to track the Customer Name and Customer Unit Number.
Solution:
We have added columns to display "Customer Unit Number" and "Machine Owner", when available, to the "Upcoming Maintenance" report.
Opportunity:
The “My Work” tab of the Mobile View displays Work Orders assigned to individual Technicians from the Work Order. Service Technicians have requested we also include the Work Orders assigned via the Service Calendar to the “My Work” tab.
Solution:
We have incorporated Work Orders assigned to Service Technicians via the Service Calendar into the "My Work" tab of the Mobile View. The "My Work" tab will now be broken into two sections: "My Assigned Work" will display Work orders assigned to techs directly from the WO, and "My Scheduled Work" which will display WO assigned from the Service Calendar.
Opportunity:
Flyntlok currently provides users the option to create copies of Sales Orders by clicking the "Copy" button from the "Payment" tab. Salespeople have requested the ability to also copy invoices associated with Service Work Orders.
Solution:
We have added the "Copy" option to "Final" invoices generated for a Work Order.
Complaint:
Flyntlok users had experienced an issue where accounting information was prefilled on the "Item Creation" page before selecting the item's "Vendor".
Cause/Correction:
Fixed. The Accounting section of the Item Creation page will remain blank until a Vendor is selected. Flyntlok will then display the accounting information for the selected Vendor. If no accounting information is saved for the selected Vendor, Flyntlok will fall back to the "Vendor Default” settings set on the "Flyntlok Settings" page.
Complaint:
Purchasing Managers generating Labels from the Item Purchase Order had noticed a discrepancy between Item Labels printed in bulk and Labels printed for an individual Item, where bulk labels were generated with a bar code and individual labels with a QR code.
Cause/Correction:
Fixed. All Items Labels will have the same display, whether printed individually or in bulk, from the Purchase Order or from the items Dashboard.
Complaint:
Service Technicians had reported an issue where Work Order forms were not saving information when edits were made from the Mobile View. In this scenario, the Technicians could add and edit Work Order Forms associated with Service Jobs, but when attempting to save (by clicking the 
icon in the top right corner of the Form), the edits are not actually saved. (OK, that seems like an obvious thing. How did we miss that? Yeah, well pobody’s nerfect.)
Cause/Correction:
Fixed. Edits made to Work Order "Forms" associated to Service Jobs will persist when the Save button is selected.

Opportunity:
Rental Managers servicing multiple branch locations have requested the ability to configure and edit the "Billable Duration" of a Rental Contract based on the company's branch location. They asked that when a specific branch location is selected from the "Location" field of the Rental Contract, Flyntlok would automatically apply the "Billable Duration" based off the location's configuration.
Solution:
We have added a new setting to the "Rental Settings" section of the "Flyntlok Settings" page, allowing Users to set different customized billable durations for different branch locations.
From the "Durations" tab of the "Rental Settings" page Flyntlok will display, and allow users to edit, the current Duration settings of your primary location. To edit the Duration settings of an alternate location, click the "Change" button and select a specific branch from a list of all locations.
Users will also have the option to create a "Default" configuration that can then be applied to alternate branch locations by selecting the "Apply Default Settings" button. If no location configuration exists, Flyntlok will use the existing values set on the "Default" configuration from the "Rental Settings" page; if no values exist from "Rental Settings", the billable duration will fall back to the predefined “Flyntlok Default" duration of (28) calendar days per month and (7) calendar days per week.
Opportunity:
Rental Managers have requested the ability for Users to create quick notes about a Contract that can only be viewed internally. Currently, any comments added to the “Notes” field of the Rental Contact can be seen by the Customer in printed reports.
Solution:
We have added an "Internal Comments" field to the Rental Contract's left bar, located under the existing “Note” section, which will allow Users to log internal notes relating to the contract. Flyntlok will display the most recent comment and provide a 
button that will open the "Activity Tab" and allow users to view all internal comments.
Opportunity:
Flyntlok allows Users to add “Consumable Items” to the Rental Invoice for items such as fuel, oil, batteries, and fluid and to apply a cost based on the quantity used. Rental Managers have requested the ability to set the quantity of the Consumable upon the Check-In of the associated Machine rather than having to manually calc the Consumable Charge based on the quantity consumed at Check out/in.
Solution:
We have added a new Consumable “Measurement Style” for (Quantity-Based) billing, which will allow Users to charge based on the amount consumed, which is entered at “Check-In”.
Consumables can be added to a Rental Contract by first adding a "Default Consumable" to a Machine from the "Model Dashboard" (Machine Dashboard->Actions->View Model Info->Default Rental Consumables) or by manually adding to the Contract via the 
button drop-down menu "Edit Consumables" option. From here, you can also remove any current consumables associated by clicking the 
button.
Opportunity:
Sales People have requested the ability to attach additional files to the Flyntlok Email report when sending a PDF document. This will optimize the process, as Users currently must download the invoice and manually email it separately if additional files are required.
Solution:
We have added an " Attachment" field to the Email Preview screen, allowing users to select files from their device to be included along with the Sales Order PDF attached to the sent email.
Opportunity:
Sales Managers, using the new Gravity Payments Emergepay system, have requested we require a signature for all credit card payments.
Solution:
We have added a "Collect Signature" check box to the "Credit/Debit" payment type on the Gravity Payments Emergepay system, which will allow Users the option to require a customer signature for credit/debit card payments.
Opportunity:
Sales People have requested we add a field to the Sales Order "Packing Slip" PDF for the Customers printed Name.
Solution:
We have added a "Print" field next to the customer signature on the Sales Order Packing slip PDF.
Opportunity:
Sales People and Technicians have given feedback stating that the terminology of the Order button on sales orders is confusing.
Solution:
We have changed the terminology to Process. This button still functions the same.
Opportunity:
Sales People have requested we display the "Discount Reason" on the Sales Order page when an item has been sold at a discount. Currently, Users cannot reference the Discount Reason given to the Customer on the Sales Order page and must go to the "Discounts Given" report to view all the Discount Reasons given for each sold Item.
Solution:
We have added the "Discount Reason" to the item line for discounted Items on the Sale Order page. Flyntlok will now display the "Discount Reason" when hovering over the 
symbol. Flyntlok will also show the "Discount Reason" when adding or adjusting the line price.
Opportunity:
Sales People have requested that the Items lines with no backordered quantity (in-stock items) be displayed with a blank space versus a (0) quantity on the Sales Order PDF, making it easier to identify which parts are on backorder.
Solution:
We have removed (0) quantity Items from the "Backordered column of the Sales Order PDF.
Opportunity:
Sales People have requested a warning message be added to the Point of Sales to alert Users when a Machine's location does not match the location of the Sale Order.
Solution:
We have added a "Not at This Location!" warning message to the 
icon's "Sell Machine" searcher; that will display when a Machine's "Responsible Location" does not match the location of the Sales Order.
Opportunity:
Purchasing Managers located in Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, and South Illinois have requested a parts ordering interface with the local Stihl distributor Crader.
Solution:
We have added a "Submit To " option to the Item Purchase Order's 
button drop-down menu, which will allow Users to search for "open" Machine Purchase Orders associated with the same distributor and submit the Order(s).
Opportunity:
Service Managers have requested the associated technician of a Work Order be added to the Work Order PDF.
Solution:
We have added the first associated technician's name to the Work Order PDF.
Opportunity:
Service Managers have requested we add the "Priority" status of a Work Order when set to the PDF.
Solution:
We have added the Work Order's associated "Priority" status to the "Internal" copy of the printed Work Order PDF. Users can print an "Internal" copy of the Work Order by navigating to the 
button and selecting the "Print Internal" option from the dropdown menu.
Complaint:
Users had noticed that the in-app notifications they received from Flyntlok which were associated to a CRM Lead were directing them to the old CRM HUB.
Cause/Correction:
Fixed. Links attached to notifications associated to CRM Leads will now redirect Users to the "Lead Dashboard" page.
Complaint:
Rental Managers, using the "Require Valid License on Check-Out" setting, were experiencing an issue where users were not receiving a warning message when a customer did not have a valid license associated with their record. They were still able to check out a Machine on a Rental Contract when they should have been restricted.
Cause/Correction:
Fixed. If the Flyntlok Setting "Require Valid License for Machine Check-Out" is activated, Users will receive a warning message on Contract creation and Machine Check-Out if the customer is missing the required license information or if the associated license is expired.
Complaint:
When generating a Work Order Estimate, Flyntlok allows Users the option to send Customers a PDF copy via email or SMS messaging and request they review and approve/reject the Estimate. Flyntlok will then mark the Estimate with a 
icon (hovering over this icon will display a "Sent to Customer" message.) Once a customer has taken action on an estimate, the icon will change to 
(hovering over this icon will display a "Customer Review Complete" message). Service managers had noticed that while the "Sent To" and "Review Complete" icons were still populating the individual Estimates, Flyntlok was no longer displaying the icons in the "Work Order Estimate List," which shows all estimates generated for the particular Work Order.
Cause/Correction:
Fixed. Work Order Estimates will display the "Sent to" and "Reviewed by" icons on the individual estimates as well as the Estimate list view.
