New 🆕

Weekly Sales Report

We have revamped the weekly sales report that is sent out on Saturdays. This report recaps the past week for your salespeople and provides them with data on their weekly sales, top 10 customers, machine sales for the week, reservations, work orders, and more! If you're interested in seeing the report and getting it sent to your salespeople, please contact Flyntlok.

Escalated Issue Emailing

We recognize that sometimes its tough for the help desk to communicate to users that don't spend a lot of time in the application (looking at you Management & Accountants). Email notifications will now be sent out to users when an issue gets assined to them and the status gets updated to EscalatedOnHoldAccountingHold, or ManagementHold.

New Tag Field

You can now add a tag number when creating a work order Please submit an issue if you need this added to any reports!

We are working on adding this to the work order editor still

Effective Labor Rate and Cost

We have enhanced the Service Dashboard (Management -> Service) by adding some metrics around your labor rates. You can view your utilization, effective billable cost, and effective billable rate.

What is the effective rate?

The effective rate is the (billable hours X rate) / clocked hours.

What is the utilization rate?

The utilization rate is the billable hours / clocked hours.

This data comes from time entries on DMS Work Orders and the work labor types you have configured.

Enhancements 💪

Bulk Data Exports

We have relocated the button for doing bulk exports. It is now next to all the other buttons on reports. Previously, there was a button that said download dump.

Flyntlok Equipment Dealer Management Software - "Big Dumps"

What is the difference between bulk exports and regular exports?

Regular exports will only export the data you have on your screen. When you see a bulk export, it is often the full data set for whatever entity you are looking at. For example, if you head to the customers (all) report, you will see the button to do a bulk export. This will include the entire dataset Flyntlok houses for customers.

Vendor Volumes

We have added a View More option to the Volume section on the vendor dashboard. This report can be used to look at a specific vendor's volume between a set date range.

Flyntlok Equipment Dealer Management Software - "Volume"

Reports

Most reports in Flyntlok have been adjusted to fit data to the screen better and prevent unreadable crammed columns. Some things you may notice:

  1. Columns will auto adjust their width to properly fit all data in a column to the screen.
    • Please note that the columns will continue to adjust as you scroll down the report.
  2. If there is not a color scheme on the report, we have added alternating line colors to help keep track of the row that you are trying to follow.
  3. The last thing to keep an eye out for, if you have a smaller screen size or there is a large number of columns on the report, you will be able to scroll horizontally through the report.

Upcoming 🔮

We have created a highly requested feature to schedule work orders. Soon, you will be able to view your work orders on a calendar where you can plan, filter, and edit them! Stay tuned for the release date!

Voiding Machine Purchase Order Lines

You can now void a machine on a purchase order line. This lets the purchase order continue down its lifecycle without requiring any other input about that machine. You must provide reasoning for the void. The reason provided is added to the audit log of the machine purchase order.

Flyntlok Equipment Dealer Management Software - "Void MPO Line"

This does not delete the machine from the system. That must be done manually by you.

Tip

You can still receive that machine, but you will no longer be able to use the quick editor. To edit the machine information, you must navigate to the machine dashboard and click Simple Actions -> Edit

Faster Item PO Posting

You may have noticed this week that posting item purchase orders is faster. We made a few optimizations earlier in the week, but will soon be releasing changes that will greatly increase the speed that item POs are posted. Be on the lookout!

MRP Work Order Quantity Change

When the quantity to build is changed on a work order, we will now reflect the updated quantity in the Ordered column on the item's dashboard.

Issues Resolved 🐛

We have resolved an issue with item transactions being created for all the items on the BOM of a work order that was edited. Now, when a work order is edited, we will only run transactions for the part being built, not for all items on the BOM.

Inventory Valuation Report

We were previously calculating the units for cost incorrectly. Cost is now calculated based on the units that the item is purchased in. Also, we fixed an issue of certain item's accounts not showing up on the report.
