Rental

Model/Class Based Reservations-(Ticket #FD-1457, FD-759)

Opportunity:

Rental Managers have requested the ability to reserve a Model or Model Classification for a Rental Contract and also have the ability to convert the Model/Class to an actual Machine at a later date.

Solution:

We have added Machine Models and Machine Classifications as selectable options to add to a Rental Contract on the rental creation page or the active rental. When a model/class is selected, that model or class is temporarily added to the contract that users can later change to a specific Machine.

Users will be able to specify an actual Machine to the Model/Class holding spot by selecting the "Associate Machine" button on the individual lines of the Contract. Flyntlok will then display a list of all Machines of that particular Class/Model for the user to choose from.

Users will have the option to generate Interim Invoices for Rental Contracts with reserved Models. When the Model is later replaced with an actual Machine on the Rental Contract, Flyntlok will then display an "Associate Machine To Invoice" dialog. Flyntlok will then suggest line items from the Invoice that the Machine could be associated with. Associating the Machine to the Invoice allows for its monetary value to be applied to the income statement of the Machine.

If the Contract and Invoice have a duplicate of the same Model (e.g. two lines in the invoice have the same model), users will have the option to choose which line item to associate the Machine with by clicking the Edit button.

 

Convert Active Rental to Demo Contract-(Ticket # FD-1509, 43690)

Opportunity:

Rental managers have requested the ability to convert an active Rental Contract to a “Demo Contract”. Converting a Rental Contract into a Demo Contract allows for the associated Machine(s) to be released on a trial basis. Demo Contracts will block the depreciation of the Machines and eliminate the need to report the Machine(s) as FID to the manufacturer.  Flyntlok gave users the option to generate a Rental Contract or a Demo Contract from the rental creation page, but did not allow active contracts to be converted to a "Demo".

Solution:

We have added the "Is Demo" field to the General section of the Rental Contracts "Info Tab" allowing users to convert active Rental Contracts to Demo Contracts.

Audit Log Update-(Ticket # FD-1534, 43789)

Opportunity:

Flyntlok users have requested additional information be added to the Rental Contracts Audit Log to make it more evident what Machines or Items have been added or removed from the contract.

Solution:

We have updated the Rental Contracts Audit Log to now display the ID Number of Items, Models, and Machines that have been added or removed from the contract.

 

Purchasing

Honda Interface-(Ticket # FD-998)

Opportunity:

Purchasing Managers working with Honda equipment have requested the ability to generate Item Purchase Order documents for Honda directly from Flyntlok which they can then upload to the Honda Portal.

Solution:

We have added a "Generate Document For Honda" link to the Actions button drop-down menu of the Item Purchase Order which, when selected, will automatically download an interface document onto your computer. Once downloaded you can upload the document to the Honda Portal as a Purchase Order.

Item Alternates Indicator-(Ticket # FD-1543, 43857)

Opportunity:

Flyntlok users have requested Item Alternate information be added to the individual line items of the Draft Purchase Order Page, allowing purchasers to more easily see whether an individual item has any alternates. Alternates are Items that can be purchased instead of the original item, as a substitute.

Solution:

We have added an "Alternates" icon to the Draft Purchase Order Page, which will populate to the left of the Item Number if the item has any Alternate Item associated. We have also introduced a new tab titled “Alternate Items” on the "Inventory and Order History" section of an Item, which is visible when an individual item row is expanded. Flyntlok will display a list of available alternates for the given Item in this new section and display a “No Alternates” message if no alternates exist.

   

Machines

Machine Hour History-(Ticket # FD- 1520, 43734)

Opportunity:

Last release, we added a mileage log capability on Flyntlok. Our next iteration was to add an "Hour History" section to the Machine Dashboard. This will display all Work Order and Rental Contract check-in hour logs as well as any direct edits to the Hours field of the Machines edit page.

Solution:

We have combined the Machine Hours with the Mileage logs and renamed the section "Meter History". This section will display ALL mileage and hour log entries for the specific piece of equipment via the following pages: WO creation and WO check-ins; on Rental Contracts as well as on Check-in/out of the rental; and on changes to the Machine Dashboard edit page. This new section will display the ten most recent entries as well as a link that will redirect users to an alternate view that will display ALL mileage/hour logs for that specific Machine. Flyntlok will display the date, the metric, and the user's name that performed the logging.

Customers

Marketing Checkmark-(Ticket# FD-1553, 43884)

Opportunity:

Flyntlok Users have requested a way to easily see if a specific Customer is properly set up with contact marketing information.

Solution:

We have added a new indicator titled "Has Contact" to the Customer's Dashboard, which will display a green check icon if the particular Customer has one or more contacts with Contact name, phone number, and email information saved. This new field will be added to the top bar of the Customers Dashboard next to the "Last Survey Send" field.

Accounting

QuickBooks  Services-(Ticket # FD-1536, 43804)

Opportunity:

Accounting Managers have recently inquired about where they can create new items as a Service in QuickBooks Online. Creating an item as a Service in QuickBooks allows Users to set a revenue account for the item to book to within QB. Currently, Flyntlok provides a link to add a new Service in QB from the Accounting section of the Item Dashboard's edit page, but does not clearly define what the link does.

Solution:

We have updated the styling of the "Add Service to QuickBooks Online" link on the Item Dashboards edit page and also added descriptive text.

Issues Resolved This Sprint

CRM: Removed Status Change "New to New" from Audit Log-(Ticket #FD- 1516, 43724)

Complaint:

Salespeople have requested to have the logging of the status change "New to New" be removed from the Lead Dashboards Audit Log. Flyntlok gives users the option to edit information surrounding the Lead from the individual Leads Dashboard, such as the status, estimated revenue,  contact information, and more. Currently updating any status of a Lead ( for example updating a lead status from "Open" to "Won") creates a log stating "Status changed from NEW to NEW" and then also states the correct status change.

Cause/Correction:

We have removed the logging for the status change (New to New).

QuickBooks Online Not Updating Paid Invoices-(Ticket #FD-1514, 43676)

Complaint:

Sales Managers had noticed the red "Paid" stamp, usually displayed on a Sales Order invoice that has been paid in full and moved to a Delivered status and has been processed in QBO, is no longer being displayed.

Cause/Correction:

Fixed.

Wrong Lost Sale Form-(Ticket #FD-1540, 43810)

Complaint:

Salespeople were experiencing issues when attempting to document a lost Machine Sale by selecting the icon of the item line from the Point of Sale. The "sad face" icon allows Users to generate a "Lost Sale" form for the Item or Machine of the line selected. Flyntlok will then generate the "Lost Sale Form" with the Item or Machine information and "Loss Type" prepopulated, in this scenario the generated "Lost Sale Form" form was incorrectly set as an Item and was not populating any Machine information onto the form.

Cause/Correction:

Fixed. Flyntlok will identify the Item or Machine associated with the specific Point of Sale line item and generate the Lost Sale Form with the correct "Loss Type" and Machine or Item information prepopulated onto the form.

Item Metrics Update-(Ticket # FD-1544, 43844)

Complaint:

Purchasing managers were experiencing an issue where Stock Items' recommended quantities were not successfully updated when users created a new Stock Purchase Order using the Flyntlok recommended quantity, and marked the PO as Ordered, but then deleted the PO. The recommended quantity was not being updated on the Recommended Orders Report or the Draft Purchase Order page.

Cause/Correction:

This was caused by a timing issue based on when Flyntlok updated recommended quantities (which is done in a nightly batch job). We have updated the metrics for inventory items, and we will now immediately update the recommended quantity when a PO with stock items is deleted.

Character Limit Error Message- (Ticket#FD-1570, 43932)

Complaint:

Flyntlok Users were experiencing an issue when trying to submit a Support Ticket when the description field exceeded 4,000 characters. The user would receive a generic error message and the ticket was not submitted.

Cause/Correction:

We have updated the error message displayed when the character limit is reached, and will now notify the User of the specific issue at hand and prompt users to shorten the description to 4,000 characters or less. (And, um, if the issue is that difficult to describe, you can always pick up the phone and call us for help. That’s what we’re here for!)

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).

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 🔮

New 🆕

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


September 2nd, 2020

Enhancements 💪

Special Order Link Warning

When a special order item is deleted from a sales order, we now show a warning on the purchase order that the part has been unlinked from its associated sales order. To fulfill these parts, the sales order will need to be reversed so the item can be pulled from QOH.

Flyntlok Equipment Dealer Management Software - unlink

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 🐛

MRP Work Order Transactions

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.

Parts Transaction Recording

We made a few changes to the part/item transaction engine in this release. Specifically, we added more detail to manual overrides, much like the standard buying, selling, and transfer of parts. These overrides occur for many reasons, now you can record the reason when you make the change.

Accountants and CEOs

Currently, we do not support the posting of these changes to QuickBooks as inventory asset adjustments. However, this group of programming changes will enable us to do this via an auto-generated monthly journal entry in the not too distant future.

Item Change Reasons

We added default reason codes for each of our customers. You can make changes by clicking on the wrench icon -> Items -> "QOH Change Reasons".

Flyntlok Equipment Dealer Management Software - QOH

The reason code for a physical inventory count can be set by default. The reason code for a point of sale change can also be set by default.

Item Dashboard

Changes to inventory and average cost now occur through the actions drop-down menu and not via the bottom of the "Item Edit" screen. There are new action drop-down options for "Metric Override", "Scrap Part", and "Change QOH". Change QOH also allows you to edit average cost.

This is particularly helpful if you decide you need to change units of measure.

Flyntlok Equipment Dealer Management Software - Actions

"Metric Override" now also allows you to set a reorder point by location (you used to have to set it for your whole enterprise). The part ordering engine checks to see if you have set it at the location level. If it is not set there, it will look to the enterprise level to see if there is an applicable reorder point.

Flyntlok Equipment Dealer Management Software - Override

When a change is recorded, the "Recent Orders" view on the item dashboard will now show who made the change, the reason for it, and the new quantity and average cost recorded.

Flyntlok Equipment Dealer Management Software - Orders

New Transaction Type: RECLAIM

We added a new transaction type called “RECLAIM” which indicates that a special order part was ordered and received by your organization, but then the customer, for whatever reason, didn’t want it. This transaction moves the “special order” part into inventory.

Flyntlok always did this, but it was difficult to follow.

Flyntlok Equipment Dealer Management Software - Recent

Reorder Point

Reorder point (ROP) is the level of inventory that triggers Flyntlok to recommend a replenishment of of that particular inventory. When your quantity on hand (QOH) reaches your ROP, Flyntlok will recommend you order enough stock to bring your QOH up to your recommended quantity (Flyntlok Calculated) or if set, your metric overrride.

Metric overrides are used to control your target QOH for a particular item
