You: Hey Flyntlok, where ya been?
Flyntlok: Good question. You are a careful reader and have noticed that these Release Notes are a week late. Well, as Flyntlok grows, we need to be a bit more careful and thoughtful with our releases. There is an old saying for software startups: “Move fast and break things.” That works in the early startup phase, but not so much as you mature. While many of our employees’ maturity might be in doubt (including yours truly), Flyntlok as a company is maturing and now we need to “move fast, and NOT break things.”
To that end, we are changing our release cycle to every three weeks. Our goal is still to innovate every single release and provide frequent updates, but the longer period will allow us to spend more time testing and ensuring you get a solid product.
You might be sad to not get as many entertaining release notes to read with your morning coffee, but hopefully you will be happy to get an improved experience.
Recently, our beloved founder and CEO Sean “Yosemite Sam” McLaughlin and his trusty CRO-sidekick Mike Wasserman participated in a podcast with the “OPE People Podcast” by OPE+, The Power Equipment & Landscape Business News Source.
Listen to Sean discuss the future of AI in the dealer management space and opportunities it will provide. Don’t fear the future!
You can listen to the podcast directly on the OPE+ site directly, or from your favorite podcast source: Podbean, Apple Music, or Spotify. (Warning: Yosemite Sam is very passionate and occasional “not suitable for work” vocabulary is used, so maybe don’t blare over your shop’s speakers...)
Opportunity
Receiving Clerks wanted a faster way to process incoming parts, especially for large Purchase Orders with many lines. Previously, each part had to be manually received by entering quantities and costs, which felt like an extra step even when items matched the expected values.
Solution
We’ve added a new lightning bolt icon next to each Receive button on the Receiving Voucher. Clicking this icon will instantly mark the part as fully received at the Purchase Order’s expected quantity and cost.
Note: Yes, it handles cores too!
This enhancement saves time, reduces clicks, and streamlines the receiving process -- particularly for orders with many items. We’ve already received many kudos for this enhancement!!
Flyntlok developers giving themselves a well-deserved pat on the back.
Opportunity
Building on the new Quick Receive enhancement, users also requested a way to process entire vouchers at once. This would be especially useful for large orders where most items are received in full. Manually clicking “Receive” for each line, even with the quick option, could still be time-consuming when handling dozens of parts.
Solution
We’ve added a new “Receive All” option under the Actions dropdown on the Receiving Voucher. This feature will automatically mark all eligible lines as received at their expected quantities and costs. If there were any discrepancies, users can still go back and edit the one-off exceptions. This improvement further streamlines high-volume receiving, helping clerks process full shipments in just one click.
Note: Lines that already have a received quantity (including partials) will remain unchanged.
Opportunity
When extracting items from a Purchase Order that contained multiple identical parts, users couldn’t tell which line was linked to a Sales Order. This made it difficult to know which line to extract without risking the removal of a linked item.
Solution
The extract dialog now displays related Sales Order information for each line, allowing users to clearly identify which items are connected to a sale before extracting.
Opportunity
Machine Managers reported that stale data from their Volvo, Hitachi, and Samsara telematics integrations have been overwriting their machines’ miles/hours, and has been polluting their machine meter history logs.
Solution
We have improved our system to better account for stale data, so that only actual updates in machine usage are reflected on your machines in Flyntlok. Additionally, we have improved our logging to show where any change to a machine’s miles/hours have been made.
We are planning to integrate with Motive Telematics soon, so keep an eye out for that in future release notes.
Opportunity
Fleet Managers shared that the previous Move process was cumbersome to use and lacked flexibility. It only supported a single contact, didn’t allow “reference machines” not yet in the system, and couldn’t be easily accessed from other pages. Quick Transfers also used a separate process, creating inconsistencies and extra steps.
Solution
We’ve made numerous improvements to the Move experience to make it more intuitive, efficient, and consistent with the rest of Flyntlok.
New Move Page
The new Move Page features a refreshed layout and simplified workflow. You can now start a move directly from the sidebar by navigating to Sidebar → + New → Move.
Moves can also be initiated from Customer Dashboard by navigating to Actions → Request Machine Move.
Reference Machine (Virtual Machine) Support
Moves now support a Reference Machine, which serves as a placeholder that can be replaced later through the Move View page. This is helpful when coordinating moves for machines not yet entered in Flyntlok.
Additional Contact
We’ve also expanded the contact system to include two contacts per move: a “From Contact” and a “To Contact”. This ensures better clarity and accountability during transfers.
Redesigned Quick Transfer
The Quick Transfer action has also been improved. Accessed through Machine Dashboard → Actions → Quick Transfer, it now redirects to the new Move Page with the Machine, Customer, and From Location fields automatically filled in. This creates a unified and simplified transfer experience.
Moves on Customer Dashboard and Machine Dashboard
Added visibility for related moves, you can now view related machine moves directly from both the Customer Dashboard and the Machine Dashboard, making it easier to track transfer history and current activity.
"Force Complete" Action
A new Force Complete button has been added to the Move View page. This option allows users to complete a move immediately, skipping intermediate steps like truckload assignments and status transitions.
Moves on Mobile
In addition, moves can now be searched for and opened on mobile devices, providing full access to move details and updates while on the go.
Notification of Completed Moves
Finally, a new notification type has been added under Preferences → Notifications → Machines → Any Completed Machine Move. This allows users to stay informed when any machine move has been completed.
Salespeople, and Justin, want a quick way to gauge the "temperature" of a customer. One such way is knowing whether they had recently left a business review, and how good was that review.
Our existing Google Reviews integration didn't support linking a review directly to a customer, making it difficult to see which reviews belonged to which customers.
You can now associate Google Reviews with customers directly from the Reviews page using the new "Associated Customer" column. In several locations within the application we will display that customer’s most recent review, and clicking on that “*” review will take you to the CRM reviews page and open a dialog with the actual text of the Google review and your response to it (if any).
We have not added the ability to map a Facebook review to a customer yet, but will do that in the future.
We know that Justin hopes his dealer reviews are higher than his golfing reviews.
Once a review is linked, that customer's latest Google Review rating will automatically appear at the top of their Customer Dashboard, giving sales teams instant context during interactions.
Opportunity
Salespeople noted that after selecting a customer when creating a lead, if an existing lead was found for the customer, the notice was too small and would often be overlooked. This would result in users unintentionally creating duplicate leads for a customer.
Solution
We enhanced the "Found Open Leads" alert to be more prominent.
Opportunity
Salespeople often needed to create multiple similar model quotes, such as when quoting slightly different configurations or additional quantities. Previously, after creating a model quote, the configuration form would close, forcing users to start over from scratch, even if only one or two options were different. This made quoting repetitive and time-consuming, especially for large quotes approaching the previous 50-model limit.
Solution
We've added a new "Quote & Create Similar" button to streamline quoting workflows. After creating a model quote, the screen will now stay open, allowing the salesperson to make small adjustments and quickly configure another model. Users quoting higher quantities can simply click the button again to add additional models with ease.
We've also increased the maximum number of models per quote from 50 to 75, giving sales teams more flexibility and reducing repetitive setup work.
Opportunity
Sales teams needed a clear and printable summary of the internal costing information for a Sales Order. Previously, there was no straightforward way to view or export this data in a single, easy-to-read format.
Solution
A new “Generate Cost Report” option has been added under Details → Actions on the Sales Order page. This feature produces a PDF showing customer details and a table of line items with part numbers, cost, average cost, sale price, and margin (based on average cost), along with totals at the bottom.
To support pre-preparing Sales Orders for pickup, you can now assign Units of Serialized Items to Invoice Lines without automatically fulfilling that Line. While associating Units on the Point of Sale, uncheck the “Update Fulfillment” checkbox to leave the fulfillment amount alone.
Opportunity
Technicians needed better visibility and control over their assigned jobs in the mobile view. Completed work orders were still appearing in “My Work,” while work orders where the technician was only assigned to the job (and not the overall work order) were not showing.
Solution
The mobile “My Work” list now properly displays jobs assigned directly to technicians and automatically hides Work Orders with completed jobs assigned to them. A new “Show Completed” toggle allows technicians to view open Work Orders with completed jobs when needed.
Opportunity
When looking at a unit via Machine Dashboard, managers wanted a more efficient way to preview the status of active Work Orders against that machine. Previously, they saw a blue banner notification with a link to the Work Order.
Solution
The Work Order's status is now included in the banner notification.
Opportunity
Rental Managers requested a better way to update long-term contract rates when new rates take effect. Previously, changing the rates on open contracts could have unexpected downstream consequences. For example, increasing the rates after making some billings made Flyntlok believe that underbilling had occurred, resulting in incorrect final invoices.
Solution
We’ve introduced a new feature that streamlines the updating of rental rates on active contracts without creating billing conflicts. This enhancement mimics the “Replace Machine” logic but focuses solely on updating rates. A new “Replace Rent Schedule” button has been added, opening a form similar to the existing “Edit Line Rental Schedule” form. When used, Flyntlok flags the rate change to ensure accurate billing and prevent incorrect discrepancies on final invoices.
To update the rates on an existing contract, navigate to the affected rental, and select “Replace Rent Schedule” from the “Actions” drop down:
Then, enter your new rates as well as an estimate for the duration the rates will be applied to; these set the new rates and a billable duration for them:
Once submitted, you will see a new line with the rates and billable duration you entered as well as an indication that a rate change occurred. In the event that you need to edit the rates again after replacing them, you have the same options as the first time you changed them: use the existing rent schedule editor or use the “Replace Rent Schedule” action again. If you’ve made billings after changing your rates, then you likely want to use the “Replace Rent Schedule” action again to prevent unexpected issues on the final invoice. To delete the rent schedule replacement, select “Remove Rent Schedule Replacement” from the “Actions” drop down.
This improvement makes it easy to apply new rate schedules at contract renewal time while maintaining the integrity of previous billings.
Opportunity
Parts with multiple identifiers were difficult to verify during inventory counts since the count page only displayed the primary item number. Users needed additional reference fields to easily match and confirm parts.
Solution
Inventory count page and PDF now include both the “Item Number2” and “Manufacturer Number” on the item.
Opportunity
On Flyntlok’s Journal Entry page, accountants requested the ability to submit Journal Entries to Sage Intacct as Bills just as we handle with Quickbooks.
Solution
Added this feature for Sage Intacct.
Complaint: When users partially fulfilled a sales order containing serialized items, the serialized units were not being carried over to the split invoice. This caused confusion, as the serialized record remained only on the master invoice rather than reflecting accurately across all splits.
Correction: We’ve corrected this behavior, partial fills on serialized items now correctly transfer their associated serialized units to the split invoices.
Complaint: Users were unable to process returns for serialized items. When trying to associate the original serial numbers on the return, the system displayed an error, preventing fulfillment.
Correction: Fixed.
Complaint: When fulfilling sales orders with serialized parts, the serial number assignment form did not appear when using the green check mark. Users were also able to fulfill serialized item lines without serial numbers assigned to them.
Correction: Fixed.
Complaint: Users were unable to search Sage revenue and expense accounts from the vendor edit page using the account number.
Correction: Fixed.
Complaint: Invoices where payments exceeded the total amount incorrectly displayed a zero balance instead of reflecting the overpayment as a negative balance.
Correction: Fixed.
Complaint: Salespeople noticed that changes made to Shopify Product’s from Flyntlok’s Item Edit Page were not working as expected (e.g. changing the Product’s price in Shopify); they also reported issues with creating a new Shopify Product.
Correction: Fixed.
Complaint: When saving a vendor, some items linked to that vendor had their list prices incorrectly updated or cleared. This occurred when the items did not have an MSRP set, causing the system to apply a default markup and overwrite existing pricing.
Correction: Fixed.
Complaint: Users found that when creating a new machine, if a duplicate model existed that had been previously deleted or marked inactive, the system sometimes assigned that inactive model instead of the active one. This caused confusion and incorrect model associations on new machines.
Correction: Fixed.
Complaint: Users reported that when adding items to a kit, the search tool sometimes failed to find the desired item, even though the same item appeared correctly in other searches.
Correction: Fixed. The kit item searcher now properly detects and displays items linked to price files.
Complaint: Salespeople reported that when creating a new item using Quick Add on the Point of Sale, an unknown error sometimes appeared, and the item was not created.
Correction: Fixed an issue where entering an item number longer than 45 characters triggered a generic error. The system now displays a clear validation message instead.
Complaint: Accountants reported that creating Journal Entries in Sage from Flyntlok’s Journal Entry dashboard would attempt to post with the Machine’s class information, even with that feature disabled.
Correction: Fixed.
Complaint: When transferring jobs from an existing Work Order to a new Work Order, the linked entity reference, such as Sales Order, was incorrectly carried over to the new Work Order.
Correction: Fixed.
Complaint: Sometimes customer and vendor records appeared to be changed by the “Flyntlok System” user, making it unclear who performed the edits.
Correction: Fixed.
Complaint: Sometimes newly created ECR Work Orders were not linking to their corresponding Rental Contracts.
Correction: Fixed.
Complaint: Some machines appeared eligible for registration even though they were already registered, which caused confusion among users and led them to attempt re-registration, resulting in errors.
Correction: Fixed.
Complaint: After completing a move, the machine’s “Responsible” location did not update to reflect the new location.
Correction: Fixed.
Complaint: Users were unable to locate certain work orders in the Service Scheduler, even when searching by specific work order numbers. The issue occurred because hidden or inactive filters (such as department) remained applied in the background, blocking results.
Correction: Fixed.
Complaint: When adding a part to a “Count Sheet” on the sprint, the variance report displayed an incorrect item number. Clicking the entry still opened the correct item dashboard, indicating a mismatch in the displayed data.
Correction: Fixed.
Complaint: Inactive or deleted customers were still appearing in the Sales Order customer search and could be selected, even after being marked inactive.
Correction: Fixed.
Complaint: Customers with Sage-linked accounts showed a $0.00 account limit and balance on the payment form within Sales Orders, even though correct values appeared on the Customer Dashboard.
Correction: Fixed.
Complaint: Users reported that when printing an invoice that contained a very long description field, sometimes it would cause the printed PDF to appear with small, nearly-unreadable text.
Correction: Fixed. This issue was only affecting long description fields when written as a work order job's complaint, cause, or correction.
It’s been several weeks since we provided our last update. Newcomer “Dean Dean the DMS Machine” sits alone at the top of the standings, one game ahead of 4 other Flyntlokers, including Pawel who fumes when anyone brings up the fact that he isn’t winning.
At the other end of the table sits Ivan all alone at the bottom with just 2 wins. A very tough fall from grace after winning it all last year. And just above him sits 4 other Flyntlokers with a mere 3 wins. That includes Tim who was convinced his auto-drafted team could win it all with the proper care during the season. But alas, he fell this week to bottom-of-the-barrel Ivan and previously to Isabelle’s “Taylor Swift Meme Team”.

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!

You will now be able to add new vendors and models directly from the point of sale while accepting a trade in.
We have added a new "Created By" field to the Purchase Order PDF. This new field will be located, left of created date and display the creators name, email and phone number. This should help provide your vendors a good point of contact when the purchase order is emailed.

On the QuickBooks Journal Entry page we have add an option to post the journal entry as a vendor credit.
Flyntlok has always asked for the source of the new customer when created from the New-> Customer form. You will now be able to document the source of the new customer from all customer creation locations.

CRM is a major focus for dealers and that makes it a major focus for us! Look forward to more updates to this system in the coming weeks.
You can now access your SMS conversations from the mobile view of Flyntlok.
You can view a list of your conversations and search for any existing conversations or contacts.
Interacting with a conversation by sending a message will automatically subscribe you to the conversation. You can unsubscribe by clicking the star icon.
Responses will show up live so you can continue to interact with your customer. All of this interaction is logged under the customer profile in Flyntlok.
You can now create a linked rental contract from the actions dropdown on a lead.
We have updated the settings around the "Text Us" website widget. Now if a potential customer is trying to input a non-US phone number they will receive a prompt from Flyntlok to instead submit an email address.
We have added back order column to the sales order PDF. Backorder is any quantities not yet picked or received via a special order.
For better visibility, we have updated the item transfer icon to be highlighted green if there are any linked transfers! This will help prevent accidentally executing duplicate transfers to fill a sale.
When a substitution is made on an item purchase order, you now have the option to retain the substituted part if you have not received any. If you have received quantities against the substituted part, we will only substitute the remaining quantity, and the PO will retain the original line for the amount already received.
Voiding a line, or deleting an entire purchase orders, will now go out and mark the associated machines as "Deleted". Previously, this had to be cleaned up manually.
You can now transfer a single labor punch to a new work order and job by clicking the transfer icon found on the labor tab.
You can now add/edit customer contacts while creating a work order.
Flyntlok will automatically clock you out of work orders when logging out. This applies only when you choose to log out. If you close your tab, exit your browser, etc. you will remain clocked in. This applies to both ERP and DMS Work Orders.
Flyntlok will show you a warning when you try to invoice a work order that has quoted parts. Quoted parts will not be added to the work order invoice.
We have added this field as an option in all places you can create a customer in Flyntlok. Previously, you could only record the reason for a new customer from New -> Customer.
You can now set a default work category by customer. This new field is found in the "Other" section while editing a customer. Customer Dashboard-> Actions-> Edit
We have added rental as a source option in the win/loss report with a link to the rental contract in the source link.
You can now configure a vendor to record purchases or sales by machine. When the option is set to yes, you will get a single journal entry for each machine involved in the transaction when posting to QuickBooks Online.
Users will now see a warning message when they are about to delete a machine model, if that model is tied to active machines. The user will then be prompted to choose the new model those machines should be moved to.

If a customer has supplied an Item Number, this information will now be displayed on the sales order pdf line.
From the Point of Sale, in the Details Tab, if the transaction has a Customer PO or an internal message, this information will now be viewable from the memo line of the QuickBooks Payment that is generated.
Users will now be able to input the invoice date when attaching a vendor invoice to a receiving voucher.
We have added more visibility to the Work Order you are clocked into. Along with the clock icon in the blue header bar, users will see the work order number.
When a user clocks into a job we will now prompt them to input all the original check in information. This combines the check in and clock in buttons, reducing the number of steps for the mobile techs to start their work. If the Work Order is in "New" status the first user to clock into a job will move the work order to "In Process".
If a customer requests service for their machine via Sparks, Flyntlok will generate a Work Order in estimate status for the customer. Also, you can now subscribe to receive sparks service request notifications.

Sales Orders and Work Orders can now be created from a Lead in the CRM Hub. To do this, go from the Actions tab of the Lead view -> Create Sales Order or Create Work Order.
Leads will now be viewable under four new categories: My Leads, New & Open, Unassigned, All Leads. These categories allow for easy organization and quick referencing of new potential customers.

Open-Blue
Attempted Contact- Orange
Contacted- Orange
Quoted- White
Won- Green

Closed-Grey
We update the searcher to look across most fields in the lead list. Any fields we are not searching by can be filtered use the selections above the list.
We have added a new CRM Leads panel on the customers dashboard, this will track and display all leads created for this customer. This allows users to easily view basic information about each lead.
If you are using the VOIP integration with Flyntlok, when any unknown number calls, the user will be redirected to the Add New Lead form of the CRM hub while auto-populating the caller's phone number. This will let you easily create a lead and ultimately a customer!

If a scan fails to find an associated Item Number, UPC, or EAN, a note line will be created in its place to help prevent unnoticed missed scans.

Updated user permissions now allows admins to limit users ability to make changes on the Service scheduler such as changing events, and modifying groups.
Flyntlok settings allow admins to adjust cutoff dates for transactions. This helps prevent unwanted reversals of invoices that have been posted during accounting periods already closed, as well as, backdating transactions into closed period. This should align with your QuickBooks Online Books Closed Date.
You can now restrict who is allowed to open a posted item voucher. This will add an internal control that stops users from requesting a reversal of a bill.
