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!

We have added a way to switch the location of a rental contract during creation. After you have selected the machines that are going out on rent. The next page, will have a location selector at the bottom of the form.

A Pickup and Delivery option is now available on the work order creation screen.
An address or dollar amount is not required during creation and can be added later on the info tab.
Often on warranty work, vendor credits need to be attached to the work order after the fact. Then, the same paperwork must be emailed to the accounting team. We have expedited this process. If you add an attachment that needs to go to bill.com, check the "Send Attachments to Bill.com" box.
Discounts were "quietly" being added on the Estimate PDF. The layout has changed, allowing the customer to see the discounts that they are receiving.
Previously, files could only be attached to jobs. Now you can attach a file to the work order on the info tab. You can either attach it to the work order as a whole or you can assign it to a job.
You can add additional terms and conditions to a rental contract on the info tab.
The behavior of the Pickup/Delivery address has slightly changed.
When an invoice has been matched to a payment in QuickBooks, it will be marked paid in Flyntlok.
If you are quick adding an item with a vendor that has a default markup, input the MSRP then Flyntlok will calculate the List Price.
You can add a contact from the activity panel.
In order to better communicate discounts to your customer, we have added a discount column to the sales order PDF.

Please reach out to Flyntlok if you are interested in this integration and we can give you a demonstration!

Please reach out to our consulting team if you would like a form added.
When making changes or editing time punches on a work order, we required you to put in the start and end times of the labor punch, then add in the billable hours of that labor punch. Now, there is a button to the right of the billable hours field that will prefill the billable hours with the hours set for the actual worked time.
When clicking the Order button on an internal parts order, we would immediately redirect you back to the work order. You can now set whether or not you would like to be redirected to the work order or remain on the internal parts order from your profile.
When changing the location of an invoice, we will not also update the custom ID of that invoice.
When adding an item to a sales order that had a package or minimum quantity, we were not alerting the salesperson. Now, when an item added to a sales order doesn't meet or exceed that minimum we will give you a warning.
When creating a sales order, the customer field will be set to your business's "Sales Order Default Customer". You can change this setting on the Flyntlok Details page. This will help business's that use a "Cash Customer" to handle most of the sales.
We were misplacing a comma in the address on the sales order PDFs. We have fixed this comma placement!
When splitting a sales order, if the customer was tax-exempt, we were still charging tax on the split. Now, we will respect the customer's tax rules when splitting their sales orders.
In the past, the payment date on invoices were always adjustable. Now, if the invoice has been posted to your books, you cannot edit the dates.
If you use Flyntlok to help generate your monthly equipment depreciation, we now support using a percentage of your monthly rental revenue to be depreciated against the piece of equipment.
When requesting the purchase of a model from the model page, we will prefill the form with as much model information that we can!
When looking at the location and quantity information of an item's dashboard, you will notice that your location will be highlighted. This will make finding your location and the information about your location easier.
Setting a primary salesperson on the customer dashboard use to require 4 actions. We have lowered this to one. If your customer has one sales person, Flyntlok will assume that he/she is primary.
