Purchasers wanted a more streamlined way to close out a Machine Purchase Order after receiving it fully on a Voucher. Previously, they had to first close the Voucher, then find its associated PO and close it separately.
Solution
When completing a Machine Receiving Voucher that moves any of its associated POs to "Received" status, users now have the option to immediately close the PO. When applicable, this prompt will show up after clicking the Complete Voucher button:

Managing pre-delivery inspection (PDI) costs efficiently has been a challenge, especially for dealers handling high-volume orders. While some equipment dealers often use work orders to capitalize PDI costs against units, this approach is too time-consuming and inefficient when managing numerous smaller units.
The existing PDI field on Machine Receiving Vouchers didn’t allocate costs to units when posting, creating additional manual effort and inefficiencies.
Solution
To streamline PDI cost management, we've introduced a new feature that allows you to allocate PDI costs directly on machine Receiving Vouchers. This update simplifies workflows and ensures more accurate financial reporting.
Key Enhancements:
Configuration:
To set the PDI account, navigate to Flyntlok Settings and configure the account as shown below:

Opportunity
Salespeople wanted a way to personalize the message sent to their customers when sending them a request for a Google or Facebook review. While we previously supported adding text to a Review Request, a Salesperson's customer was sent the same message template that could not be edited.
Solution
Administrators can now configure the default message by navigating to Flyntlok Settings -> CRM Settings -> General -> “Request A Review” Message,
This default message will prefill the message body when requesting a review. You can modify the message as needed before sending it.
The message will be sent to the customer with the review links included. Here is an example message shown as a text and an email:
Note: If this is not configured, a basic message template will be used instead.

Sales Managers needed greater flexibility in customizing “Lead Sources” within their CRM systems. This level of customization allows for more accurate and insightful reporting while better aligning lead tracking with the unique needs of their business. Previously, the lead sources were not customizable, limiting managers' ability to adapt the system to their specific workflows. (Or they had to call us and ask us to hard code a value for them.)
Solution
To address this, we’ve enhanced the CRM “Lead Sources” flexibility to enable full customization. This empowers sales teams to better manage and refine their “Lead Sources”, resulting in improved reporting and streamlined lead management. And more customers!
Key Enhancements:
With this update, your CRM system becomes more adaptable to your business, ensuring that lead management is precise, efficient, and tailored to your needs.
Complaint: Salespeople mentioned that a Contact’s Tags would not show on the Customer Dashboard if the Contact was a Primary or Accounting Contact.
Correction: Fixed.
Complaint: Users (well, Wayne) noted that when trying to access a Vendor's website URL via Vendor Dashboard, the link would not work if it didn’t start with “http://” or “https://”.
Correction: Fixed. The link now supports more URL formats.
Complaint: Accountants noted that while editing a Machine, the Accounting Transactions preview would sometimes display the wrong accounts.
Correction: Fixed an issue where, on depreciating Machines, the Accounting Transactions preview would incorrectly display the Vendor account instead of the account that was set on the Machine. This was a visual-only bug and did not have any direct effect on accounting data.
Complaint: Inventory managers mentioned that they were sometimes unable to delete Vouchers from a Part Purchase Order.
Correction: Fixed.
