Please reach out to our consulting team if you would like a form added.

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 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.
