Check out the latest updates to the Flyntlok Equipment Dealer Management System.

Notifications

New Feature

Notification Bell

We have added a new feature to easily view and organize Flyntlok notifications. You will now see a bell icon on the top right of your home screen next to your username. When this icon is clicked you will be able to view all notifications, organized by most recent. You will no longer see notifications on your dashboard or popup in the lower right of Flyntlok. You can access the last year of historical notifications by clicking the View All.

 

 

CRM

New Feature

Create Linked Sales Order/ Work Order

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 List Sorting

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.

Status Color Coding

We have added a color coding scheme to status badges of the CRM Leads. This allows users to easily identify the status of their lead. The color coding is outlined below.

Lead List Searching and Filtering

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.

CRM Lead on Customer Dash

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.

Inbound Call - Create a 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!

Add New Lead

Tag Management

Clearing up typos, and redundant tags can now be done by clicking the Actions -> Manage Tags  from the CRM Hub.

                                                   

Point of Sale

New Feature

POS Scanning

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. The note line will include the barcode number which was originally scanned. We also show a warning pop-up, but if you have hotkey functionality enabled on your scanner, the popup can be missed if you continue to scan.

Scan Mode

Default Invoice Source

We have added a new setting to allow managers to configure a default invoice source by user.  Previously, this was done at the company level.

To set or edit the default invoice source for a user, navigate to Wrench->Users->Users.  Locate the user you wish to set, click edit, and in the "Other" tab, assign a default invoice source.

To check your current company settings, navigate to Wrench-> Point of Sale-> Invoice Sources.

Work Orders

New Feature

Mobile Create Work Order Option

We have added a link to the mobile dashboard that will allow users to quickly create new Work Orders.

Copy/Paste Group Schedule

We have added a new icon to the Service Scheduler. When selected, you will be able to copy and paste the events of the group you have selected to a new date.

Enhancement

Work Order Deposits - Auto Apply to Final Invoice

We will now be automatically applying work order deposits to the final invoice of a work order. Previously, you had to add these manually and the deposit was only accessible if the payment was posted to QuickBooks Online.

Service Scheduler Permissions

Updated user permissions now allows admins to limit users ability to make changes on the Service scheduler such as changing events, and modifying groups.

Accounting

New feature

Accounting Period Cutoff Date

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.

Item Purchase Orders

New Feature

Reopening a Posted Voucher

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.

New Feature

Duplicate Document Warning

You will now see a red warning message if there is a duplicate bill number under the particular vendor. This message will be displayed in red, next to the QB Bill Number in the Voucher Details section.

We have added a new setting to the Machine Purchase Order. Users will now be able to print labels in bulk from the receiving voucher by selecting voucher lines, selecting printing action, then clicking Generate Labels.

We gave the Omnisearch results a freshlook.  It now allows for quick referencing of item number, vendor/make, description and bin. Also displayed, includes QOH, QOO, and List Price, which are appropriately categorized by color.

Rental

Purchasing

New Features

Machine Purchase Order Vouchers(Beta)

We are introducing Machine PO Vouchers! This update will make it faster to receive large quantities of machines and give you more control over machine data.

First, create a Machine Purchase Order. This process has not changed. Once a PO has been created and the machines have arrived, you are ready to begin the receiving process. Click the dropdown, then Create Receiving Voucher.

The first screen is where you will decide which machines need to be received. Select the lines that need to be received, then click Add to Voucher.

You will be brought to the Machine Voucher Page.

The main sections of this page is the grid. You are able to edit information in the grid cells. In this case, lets add serial numbers to the machines.

Date fields will accept dates that follow any standard format. You can also click and drag the small box to auto-fill additional columns.

The accounting department will love this page because fees are much easier to handle.  Add a fee with the correct amount. Then choose to either capitalize the fee to the machines or book the fee to an account. In this case, we will select Capitalize to Machines. Then click Allocate to choose the allocation method.

In the example below, we would like to evenly distribute the $750 freight charge. To accomplish this, select Equal Distribution from the drop-down, and pick all three machines. Each machine will receive a $250 capitalized expense.

 

The other fee strategies that are available are Cost-Relative and Manual.

To save the voucher so that you can edit it later, click the Green Save Button. To que the voucher up to go to QuickBooks, click the Complete Voucher button.

If you find a mistake, you can always reverse the voucher by clicking Actions then Reverse.

If you would like to participate in the beta release of this new feature please submit a support ticket. We are putting together a migration schedule for companies using the old system. Once out of beta, we will reach out to schedule your migration.

Login

New Features

Multi Factor Authentication(MFA)

You may have noticed our new login page. This change was for more than just a new look. We now support Multi Factor Authentication(MFA) to help meet cyber insurance requirements. If you would like to enable MFA, please submit a support ticket.

If MFA is turned on, you will need to receive a login code. You can receive this code over email. SMS will be available in the coming weeks.

We will send you the code to input on the next page.

You can see if a job was rejected or accepted on the work order PDF.

CRM Hub

Point Of Sale

Invoice Customer Panel

We have restructured the customer panel to make it more space-conscious and moved the contact selector next to the customer selector.  Previously, the contact was selected in the details panel at the bottom of the page.

You can now designate the type of invoice and use that for reporting.

The type and location can also be encoded into the ID.  If you wish to enable this feature, please submit a support ticket.

Activity/SMS Panel

We have made it easier to add/edit notes and send SMS's from the point of sale by adding an activity panel on the lower right of the page.

 

When a customer responds, you will get a notification in the lower right of Flyntlok, and on your dashboard.

You can reply from the notification, customer dashboard, or right in the activity panel on the invoice.

Returning Dirty Cores

Previously when creating a return for a sale that includes cores, we were not populating the return sales order with the dirty core.  We updated that so you no longer have to add that manually when the customer returns with the dirty core.

Machine Owner / Bill To

We have updated the sales order PDF to reflect the machine owner if it is different than the bill-to.

Work Order

SMS Templates

You can now customize your own templates for SMS's sent from the work order system!  To configure your templates, please submit a ticket and a consultant will work with you to get them setup.

Activity/SMS Panel - Unread Activity

We have added an unread activity indicator on the activity panel. Once you open the panel, the notes will be flagged as reviewed and the indicator will be removed.

Estimates - Icons

We have added icons to the estimate section to indicate when an estimate has been emailed to your customer, and when they respond.  Look for more updates to this feature in the coming releases!

Rental

Activity/SMS Panel - Unread Activity

We have added an unread activity indicator on the activity panel.  Once you open the panel, the notes will be flagged as reviewed and the indicator will be removed.

Auto-Generated Work Orders for Rental Actions

Based on your company's settings, we will automatically create a work order at the first rental, and every subsequent check-in of a rental.  We updated this functionality to create these work orders as segmented.  In the coming release, you should be able to designate one or more job templates to be added to this style of work order.

Purchasing

Bulk Printing Labels

We moved the bulk printing of labels from the PO to the voucher.  This lets you print off a barcode label for each item you are receiving.

Accounting

Customer Accounting Settings

Previously we were updating the Accounting Email and Auto-Send setting on the customer when you re-loaded them. That caused confusion when QuickBooks Online had different data than what was set in Flyntlok. We will no longer automatically update those fields.

Work Order Updates

Work Order Machine Assignment

In the past, only one machine was allowed per work order. This worked great until a customer dropped off a chain saw, pole saw, and weed wacker. Now you can add multiple machines to a work order. To do this, click "Multiple" on the work order creation screen. Then add machines to each job.

 

Then, you will be able to add a machine to each individual job.

Clocked in list

Click the Info Tab to see a list of people that are clocked into a work order.

 

Technician Notes

The customer will not see any notes that are added in the "Notes" section.  However, after the notes have been reviewed, you can add them to the correction section by clicking the "Add to Corrections" button.

Work Order Sections Stay Closed

When you minimize a section on the info tab of the work order page, it will remain closed until you open it again.

Parts Transfers

Parts invoices can be transferred between jobs. The jobs can even be on different work orders. Click the transfer button on the management tab to preform transfers.

Work Order Permissions

Certain work order actions only need to be available to select users.  Below is a list of actions that can be limited. The limits can be set on the Authorized Users tab by your company Flyntlok administrator.

Rental Contract E-Signing

Then, the customer can sign the contract.

 

Rental Kits

Beta users can configure Kits from the Models page. To create a Kit from scratch, first, create a Model. Then edit the model and scroll down to the recommended items section.

 

Remember, only items that are marked rentable will show in the searcher.

Delivery And Pickup Information

If you leave the box blank, the rental delivery fee will show TBD instead of $0.  This allows you to bill the customer after the delivery has occurred.  In this case, we recommend having your rates listed in the terms of the contract.

Associated Salespeople

You can now associate more than one salesperson to a Customer. This can be helpful if a customer has a salesperson and a PSSR.

BETA Work Order Updates

By request, we have been moving users over to the new work order system. Thank you for all the great feedback! Please submit a ticket if you would like to start using the new system.

Recommended Jobs for John Deere and Hitachi

After creating a work order for a John Deere or Hitachi machine, we will look for open PIPs. If any are found, they will be listed just below the Add Job button in the new Recommended section of the work order.

Once you select a recommended job, we will pull information directly from John Deere like the PIP title, type, and even the items needed for PIP. If you choose to create the job, we will also create the internal parts order with the required parts for the job.

Job Templates

In order to save you time on creating templates for common jobs, you can now create a job template directly from a job you have on a work order.

Complaint, Cause, Correction

In our new work order, we have moved away from work requested and work done on jobs to a complaint, cause, and correction structure. This gives the opportunity to input the customer's complaint, then the technician's analysis of what caused the problem. The correction field will be used to communicate the work done. Only complaint and correction are required.

Disabled Actions Labels

Description labels appear when a button is disabled to give insight as to why the button is disabled.

Banners

Banners are back! After getting a new look, banners are being reintroduced to update you on important information.

BETA Rental Updates

We will soon be adding more customers to the new rental system. Here are some of the new features that will be available!

Rentable Items

We now support renting out items. To make an item rentable, you will need to edit the item and check the Item Can Be Rented box.

While you are there, you can add rent schedules to cover all of your pricing structures.

Rental Kits

A rental kit consists of one machine and a group of items that must be rented together. An example of this is renting a serialized air compressor with a hose and pressure regulator. The air compressor is the serialized machine, while the air hose and pressure regulator are optional items. When adding the machine to the rental, you can choose the amount of each item you will rent with the machine. These items will then be pulled from inventory when checked out, then added back to inventory when checked in.

Flyntlok Surveys

Customizable Email Templates

We now support customized email templates on each survey template that you send out. If you are interested in adjusting your email template or learning more about our survey system, please reach out to consulting@flyntlok.com!

Store Specific Surveys

If you are a multi-store company, you can now configure your surveys to only send when the sale is closed at a certain store.

Allocation on Receipt

When stock orders are received, Flyntlok will help find where they will be used best. If you have outstanding special orders for the same part; you will be able to move the stock order part onto the special order from the receiving pop-up.

Required Drivers License Information

Flyntlok now automatically checks to see if your rental customers' licensing is up to date. You can continue with the rental on a case-by-case basis.

 

To implement this check at your business go to the Wrench->Flyntlok->Flyntlok Details. Then under the rental section make sure "Require Valid License for Machine Checkout"  is selected.

Duplicate Item Warning

Flyntlok now displays a warning if you add a duplicate item to a sales order. Choose to either combine the item with an existing line item or create a new line item.

Updated End Of Day Report

We expanded the End of Day report to further break down the data. We Added 2 columns in the parts sold section:

Don't receive this report? Reach out to consulting@flyntlok.com to get it set up.

Fleet Price Verification(PACCAR)

Flyntlok will now verify fleet pricing on work orders. Add the customer's fleet number during work order creation or from the edit screen to take advantage of any discounts. We are continuing to further automate this process.

Change Discount

When a customer is changed on an existing sales order, any discounts will be recalculated. This will ensure every customer is charged the correct amount.

ERP Voucher Inspection Fix

When inspecting parts on ERP vouchers the below error would occur. This has been fixed on all vouchers created after 6/30/2021.

Voucher Lock on Close

After a Voucher has been closed it will be "locked down". Users will not be able to add or delete attachments, edit attachment values, or make changes to fees and credits. We remove the buttons altogether, see below!

Rental Duration Default

Flyntlok will assume you are inputting days when a number is typed into the rental duration text box. You can still use "w" after a number to set weeks and "m" to set months.

Rental Contract Default Salesperson

Flyntlok had been setting the default salesperson to the first person shown in the dropdown; which is ordered alphabetically. The default first salesperson will now automatically be set to the user that is signed in.

Sales Order Beta Contact Email Fetching

The beta work order dashboard was not filling the Recipient(s) dropdown with customer emails. Flyntlok will automatically fetch emails associated with the company listed on a sales order. The system will then show the emails in the Recipient(s) dropdown on the "Email Report" page. This will make it faster to email quotes and receipts to customers.

Release Notes 2020 Q4


December 16th, 2020

New 🆕

Quick Item Transfers

You now have the ability to transfer an item directly from a sales order! Previously, this could only be done from the item dashboard. After adding an item to the sales order that needs to be transferred to your location, you will see a truck icon next to the QOH of the item.

![Flyntlok Equipment Dealer Management Software - transfer](img/transfer_button.png)

Clicking this will bring up the transfer information box. In this form, fill out how much, from where, your comments, your preferred shipping method (for the transfer) and whether or not this should be drop-shipped to the customer. This will initiate queue up a request to transfer the item to your location.
![Flyntlok Equipment Dealer Management Software - transfer](img/transfer_swal.png)

!!! tip "Quick Transfer"
The quick transfer button will move your inventory instantly from one location to the next. This means upon clicking this button the QOH is immediately removed from the source location and moved to the destination location (your invoice location). This by-passes all the current transfer workflows in place, but will still create a record of the transfer.

QuickBooks Online Customer Information *BETA*

Flyntlok will now keep your customer data from QuickBooks Online up to date in real time with Flyntlok. This ensures that things like the customers balance due stay in sync between the two systems with less clicks, and less human intervention.

!!! Tip "Loading QuickBooks Customer Data"
You can still sync the two systems by heading to the Wrench -> Accounting -> QuickBooks online and clicking the `Load Customers` button, but with this update, you really shouldn't have to do that ever again!

!!! danger ""
This is a beta feature. We will be monitoring its status over the next few weeks. We will be expanding on it during this time frame as well to incorporate all of the data between the two systems. Less clicks!

Enhancements 💪

Auto-Generating Work Orders

When an Equipment Condition Report is attached and completed on a work order, we will now generate a segmented work order for the needed repairs.

1. After adding an ECR in the Associated Forms section, selecting it will allow you to edit the form.
![Flyntlok Equipment Dealer Management Software - ECR](img/ECR.png)
2. Selecting **No, requires fix** will prompt the system to generate a work order for the repairs.
![Flyntlok Equipment Dealer Management Software - ECR](img/require_fix.png)
3. When all appropriate fields are filled out on the ECR, next to the form number, you will click the *Save* button and then the *Go to Work Order* button.
![Flyntlok Equipment Dealer Management Software - ECR](img/ECR_buttons.png)
4. The auto generated work order will be created after the machine is checked out from the work order.
5. On the new work order, for everything that was marked as needing a fix, there will be a job for that repair.

![Flyntlok Equipment Dealer Management Software - ECR](img/repair_jobs.png)

!!! danger ""
None of the jobs that are auto generated will have a labor type set. Be sure to set this before clocking into the job.

!!! tip "Rental Check Ins"
A reminder that Flyntlok can auto generate work orders when a rental unit is checked in. The work order will already have an ECR form attached. This allows for rental units to be checked in, have their condition reviewed, and then a work order generated for any repairs needed. We can also create new condition options on the ECR that will create a work order for the customer of the rental if you choose to bill them for repairs. Please reach out to Flyntlok to get this configured!

Issues Resolved 🐛

Payment Options on Internal Customers

We have removed alternate payment options when a customer type is internal. You can only use the Flyntlok generated payment in this case.


December 9th, 2020

New 🆕

Internal Work Order Document *BETA*

We have added an internal cost report for work orders. This report will break out your labor cost, parts cost, and labor entries by job.

![Flyntlok Equipment Dealer Management Software - labor](img/labor_lines.png)

With this data, we can also show you your profit, margin, estimated hours, and actual hours per job.

![Flyntlok Equipment Dealer Management Software - Cost](img/WO_cost.png)

If the work order is not in an Invoiced Status, you will go to the Actions drop-down and select Print Internal to access the report.

![Flyntlok Equipment Dealer Management Software - print](img/print_internal.png)

If the work order is in Invoiced status, there will be a red Internal button next to the Print and Email buttons, where you can access the report.

![Flyntlok Equipment Dealer Management Software - internal](img/internal_button.png)

!!! note ""
This document is currently in beta. Any feedback on layout or data would be greatly appreciated to help utilize this report!

!!! danger ""
The internal document only works for segmented work orders. You cannot view this report on simple work orders.

Quote Expiration Notifications

We now send notifications when a quote is set to expire. You will receive notifications when the quote is 7 days from expiring, 3 days from expiring, and the day of expiration. You will see a green notification that shows in the lower right of your screen.

![Flyntlok Equipment Dealer Management Software - noty](img/noty.png)

And you will get a red banner on your dashboard.

![Flyntlok Equipment Dealer Management Software - expiration](img/quote_expiration.png)

When a quote hits the expiration date, we will now mark it as expired with a message indicating that it was rejected due to expiration.

Enhancements 💪

Auto-Generating Work Orders

We made a few enhancements to the auto-generating DMS work order feature.

1. When setting the location on the work order, we will first check the default manufacturing location of the item, then the default manufacturing location set in the Flyntlok Settings page, and if neither of those are set we will set the location based on the sales order location.
2. The end date of the work order will now reflect the date that is set in the *Due Date* field on the sales order.
3. The description of the item on the sales order will be copied into the work requested section of the work order. This allows for that description to be set per sales order for custom work requests.

![Flyntlok Equipment Dealer Management Software - WOs](img/auto-genWO1-3.png)

4. The origin of the work order will be noted.
5. The public message on the sales order is set as a note on the work order.
6. The customer PO on the sales order is noted on the work order as well.

![Flyntlok Equipment Dealer Management Software - WOs](img/auto-genWO4-6.png)

Work Order PDF

On the work order PDF, we will now show the tag number and work station that have been assigned. We also removed the date that is associated with the hours and miles on the machine.

![Flyntlok Equipment Dealer Management Software - fields](img/tagWS.png)


December 2nd, 2020

New 🆕

Variance Journal Entries

From a variance report for a physical inventory sprint, you can create a journal entry for those item variances. When you are on a variance report, you will see a button in the upper right that will create the journal entry.

![Flyntlok Equipment Dealer Management Software - variance](img/variance_button.png)

This journal entry will contain a debit and credit for every item that had a variance. An increase will result in a debit to the asset account for that item, while a decrease will result in a credit to the asset account of the item.

We will automatically assign the correct asset and expense accounts. We will first look for the part's asset account, and if that isn't set, we will use the vendor's asset account for that item. For the expense account, we allow you to select an expense account to be used in the Flyntlok Details admin editor.

!!! note ""
Go to the wrench in the upper right -> Flyntlok -> Flyntlok Details. You can find the Inventory Variance Expense Account field towards the bottom of the accounting section.
![Flyntlok Equipment Dealer Management Software - variance](img/variance_exp_acct.png)

If that default expense account is not set, we will first look for the parts expense account, and if that is not, set we will use the vendor's expense account of that part.

!!! warning ""
We do not restrict the creation of multiple journal entries for one sprint.

Payment Type Combinations

Flyntlok now supports adding an account payment type with any other type of payment! To use this feature you will need to add an Item Reference to your payment types that is different from the account payment type item reference. This item reference is a QuickBooks item that will be used to create the invoice in QuickBooks with the payment line.

You can edit your payment types by going to the admin editors, hovering over Point of Sale, and selecting Invoice Payment Types.

Annual Labor Rate Evaluation

We have added a field to your labor types that indicates if a labor type is active. This allows you to keep old labor types at their rates and cost so that they can still be accurately reported on. When doing a labor rate or cost change, you will need to create a duplicate of the labor type, adjust the cost and rate of that new labor line, then mark the old one as inactive. We will then remove that inactive labor type from being shown when selecting a labor type to clock into.

![Flyntlok Equipment Dealer Management Software - active](img/active_column.png)

Enhancements 💪

Volvo Integration

You can now review order confirmation and shipment information directly in Flyntlok. This data was previously only available on the Volvo Parts Online Portal. By line, you can review where the part is coming from, and get information such as the carrier and tracking number. This data is updated real-time from Volvo.

![Flyntlok Equipment Dealer Management Software - volvo](img/VolvoPhase2.png)

Internal Parts Order Quotes

We now exclude quote status internal parts orders from showing on work order PDFs. Internal parts orders must at least be in draft status for them to be seen on the PDF.

Tag and Work Station Editing

When you go to edit a work order, you can now add, change, or remove tags and work stations.

![Flyntlok Equipment Dealer Management Software - work order](img/edit_station.png)


November 18th, 2020

New 🆕

Quotes

Our quote system has been revamped to allow tracking of quote conversions and their reasoning. Through this we will be able to report on how many of your quotes are accepted vs rejected and your valuation of open quotes.

When you are on a quote, in the Payment tab you will now see three new options:

![Flyntlok Equipment Dealer Management Software - quote](img/quote_options.png)

- Modify Quote: This will allow you to turn the quote back into a draft sales order and make changes.

- Reject: If a customer rejects the quote, clicking *Reject* will mark the current date as the date of rejection, and we will give you the option to categorize and explain the reason for the rejection.

- Accept: When the customer accepts the quote, selecting *Accept* will mark the current date as the date of acceptance and you will have the option to attribute that sale to a category.

!!! warning ""
When you turn a sales order into a quote, you can set the date of expiration. When this date is reached, we will mark the quote as expired.

![Flyntlok Equipment Dealer Management Software - quote](img/quote_accept.gif)

!!! warning ""
When a quote is accepted, you will not be able to turn it back into a quote.

![Flyntlok Equipment Dealer Management Software - quote](img/rejection.png)

!!! warning ""
When a quote is rejected, it cannot be reopened.

Quote Reporting

We have created a few dashboard grids that report on the quote conversion statistics. These dashboards WILL NOT have legacy data. They will only contain quote data that is created from today and on.

!!! info ""
If you have current pending quotes, turn them into a draft sales order, then turn them back into a quote to start the conversion tracking.

![Flyntlok Equipment Dealer Management Software - quote](img/quote_reports.png)

Enhancements 💪

Credit Card Fees

When you charge a CC fee, we now link that fee to the CC charge that it is associated with. If the CC charge z-out is approved, the fee will move with that charge to approved, likewise, when it is disapproved, the fee will be marked as disapproved. This allows for you to remove CC fees from being queued up to post to QuickBooks until you approve the CC charge.

Happy Veterans Day

From all of us at Flyntlok, to all the veterans out there… we salute you! Thank you for your service and sacrifice!

Upcoming 🔮

Quote System

We are in the process of creating a new way to track quote conversions and save old versions of quotes within Flyntlok. This will include the ability to accept, reject, and modify quotes. When modifying a quote, we will take a snapshot of that quote before it is modified so that you can see what changed and potentially what made the deal! This week we are releasing a few smaller features of the new quote system to start tracking quote success and rejection rates. You can read more about this week's quote features below.

New 🆕

Quotes

We've revamped our quoting system to now track when a sales order is converted to a quote, and when that quote is accepted or rejected. When a quote is rejected, we give the salesman the opportunity to explain why the quote was rejected. Rejected quotes will show on your wins/losses report as a loss.

!!! info ""
The wins/loss report should be located under the Company tab on your left-hand nav. If you have difficulties finding or adding that menu, please reach out to Flyntlok!

![Flyntlok Equipment Dealer Management Software - quote](img/reject_quote.png)

- Category: This will help to categorize the reasons for a quote rejection.

- Lost To: You can name who the customer went with if there was competing sale.

- Reason: Here the salesman can add more relevant information as to why the customer rejected the quote.

When a quote is converted to a sales order, we mark that date as the successful quote conversion date.

Customer Credit

You now have the ability to take overpaid amounts on sales orders and apply that amount to the customer's deposit. Instead of issuing a return transaction for the excess amount, you can select the Customer Credit payment option on the sales order to put that amount into the customer's deposit. As with regular deposit transactions, that amount will not show on the customer's dashboard until that payment line is approved and posted by your accounting department.

![Flyntlok Equipment Dealer Management Software - Credit](img/cust_cred.png)

!!! warning ""
This will only work for customers that do not have an account.

Enhancements 💪

Reversing Physical Inventory

After marking a physical inventory plan as complete, you now have the ability to reverse that plan to make any necessary changes.

![Flyntlok Equipment Dealer Management Software - Labor](img/reverse_plan.png)

Inventory Lockdowns

We have added more to the transaction lockdown feature when doing an inventory count. Previously, you could only prevent the *order* button from being clicked on the sales order. Now, you can also prevent parts from being received/returned on POs, inter-store transfers from being executed, and ERP work orders from being graded. If the lockdown is active, and there is an active plan being executed, the system will only lockdown for the location with the active plan. This allows for the rest of your company to continue working.

![Flyntlok Equipment Dealer Management Software - Labor](img/lockdown.png)

We recommend the lockdown to prevent transactions from happening while you are counting parts. If you don't lockdown, and transactions are created, it has the potential to negatively affect your reported QOH.

!!! info ""
To activate the lockdown, head to the admin editors->Flyntlok->Flyntlok Details. At the bottom of the accounting, section will be a check box called Lock Inventory During Counts.


November 4th, 2020

New 🆕

Labor History Report

The new Labor History report will give you a breakdown of your DMS work order clocked time vs billable time for the month. We give a summary at the top of the report that shows the hours by location with rates and costs of those hours.

![Flyntlok Equipment Dealer Management Software - Labor](img/labor_history.png)

You can schedule this report by going to the Report Scheduler within the Flyntlok admin editor.

![Flyntlok Equipment Dealer Management Software - Labor](img/report_scheduler.png)

DMS Work Order Item Type

We have added a new item type field that, when assigned to an item, will create a simple DMS work order to create the item. This can be used for selling predefined services like flat-rate service work, or for custom work with a set quoted price.

!!! tip "To utilize this feature, follow these quick and easy steps"
1. We have pre-generated a new item type for you called "Work Order Generator". (You can modify this on the item types editor)
2. Create a new item in Flyntlok. While filling out this form, ensure you set the item type to "Work Order Generator".
3. You will need to set the proper income, asset, and expense accounts on this item for recording purposes, but it is not required to test out the feature.
4. After creation of the item, create a new sales order and sell this item.
5. Once you have clicked order on the sale, a new DMS Work Order will have been auto-generated for you.

Upon closing this work order, we will update the cost of the item on the sale to be the sum of the parts costs on the work order. We will also update the MSRP of the item on the sale to the sum of the list price of the parts used on the work order. This is to give you an idea of how close you were to your set price for this work.

Enhancements 💪

MRP Work Order Costs

We have amped up the reporting of costs on MRP work orders. You will see more fields that report on costs within the details tab of work orders. Many of the new labor cost calculations will depend on the labor time and labor type being set on a per-item basis. (The labor time was released last week, check out the information below!)

??? info "MRP Labor Averages"
If you are an MRP customer, when editing an item, you will now see averages under the Labor Time input. These averages will show actual and billable times of the 10 most recent closed work orders for that item.

![Flyntlok Equipment Dealer Management Software - avg](img/avg_times.png)

Just above the Labor Time field is the Labor Type field. This field will allow you to select one of your current labor types as a default for this item. The cost of the labor type selected and the labor time that is input will be used to find estimated labor times and cost or sub labor times and costs on work orders.

![Flyntlok Equipment Dealer Management Software - avg](img/labortype.png)

Here is an explanation of all the cost fields and how they are calculated:

![Flyntlok Equipment Dealer Management Software - MRP](img/ERP_costing.png)

- Expected Parts Cost: This will be the current cost of the item being built multiplied by the quantity being built.

- Actual Parts Cost: This is the cost of all the items on the BOM being multiplied by their needed quantity and summed together.

!!! warning ""
Your expected part cost should equal the actual parts cost. This will help to accurately reflect the cost of that item.

- Expected Labor Cost: We calculate this by taking what is set in the *Item Labor* field for the item being built, multiply it by the quantity being built, and then multiply it by the cost of the labor type that is set for that item.

- Actual Labor Cost: This will be the billable time that is set on the work order, multiplied by the labor types' cost that is used to record the billable time.

- Sublabor Cost: Using the labor time and labor type that are set for all item's on the BOM, we multiply the quantity needed of the item by the set labor time, and then multiply that result by the cost of the labor type.

- Misc.Cost: A miscellaneous cost can be set by item. This cost will include anything that is not a labor cost or subpart cost when building or purchasing the item. This will field will take the miscellaneous cost of the item being built and multiply it by the quantity being built.

- Subparts Misc. Costs: This will take all item's on the BOM, multiply the needed quantity to build by the amount set for Misc. cost of that item, and sum this result from all the items.

- Total Costs: This will sum subparts, sub labor, labor, and all miscellaneous costs to show how much this or these items cost to build.

- Expected Labor Time: This will be the time that is set in the *Labor Time* field of the item, multiplied by the quantity being built.

- Actual Labor Time: This will be the time that is clocked in on the work order.

- Sublabor Time: This will be the labor time that is set on each item of the BOM, multiplied by the quantity of that item needed to build.

Along with the new reporting, you can now update the cost and labor time of an item when the final grade is submitted.

![Flyntlok Equipment Dealer Management Software - MRP](img/cost_updates.png)

When the final grader goes to sign off on the work order, they will get two comparisons.

- Unit Cost: will show what is currently set as the cost (Expected) vs what the subparts cost is per item (Actual).

- Unit Labor: will show what is currently set in the item labor field for the item (Expected) vs how much time was clocked on the work order per item (Actual).

Below both comparisons are checkboxes that default to not checked. Checking these will update their respective field for the item being built. If the work order is linked to a sales order, we will go out and update the cost of that item on the sales order.

Electronic PO Notifications

We have added notifications when submitting electronic POs. We find this necessary on a few of the integrations we currently have as they do not provide an immediate response to the PO. Starting with our Volvo integration, when you submit a PO, you can expect a notification to come via the lower right pop-up and blue banners on your dashboard. You no longer should have to wait on the PO and constantly refresh the page hoping for a response from the vendor.

Upcoming 🔮

Keyed-In Card Transactions

Just a reminder that we are still in the process of migrating over Flyntlok customers to the new Gravity portal. A Flyntlok consultant will reach out to you when we are ready to migrate your company onto the new keyed-in transactions system.

Work Order Scheduler

We have released a new feature that allows you to create, edit, view, and schedule work orders on a calendar page at the week- and month-level. You can also filter by five separate criteria to find the exact set of work orders you're looking for.

![Flyntlok Equipment Dealer Management Software - scheduler](img/WO_scheduler.png)

Dragging and dropping is enabled, allowing work orders be moved around freely. This makes scheduling much quicker and more efficient.

Variance Report PDF

You now have the ability to make a PDF version of your variance reports for inventory counts. When you are on a variance reports page, click the pdf icon in the upper right!

![Flyntlok Equipment Dealer Management Software - pdf](img/variance_pdf.png)

Inventory Count Plan PDF

We've added the ability to print PDFs of inventory plans. This allows you to print the plan, take the count, and log the adjustments later if you are not able to take the inventory count on a mobile device. You can find the link to print the PDF on the *Physical Inventory Sprints and Plans* report, next to the plan's name.

![Flyntlok Equipment Dealer Management Software - pdf](img/plan_print.png)

Journal Entry Copying

We now allow you to duplicate journal entries.

![Flyntlok Equipment Dealer Management Software - avg](img/duplicate_JE.gif)

Copying a journal entry will retain all data except for the journal date, journal number, and any attachments.

MRP Labor Averages

If you are an MRP customer, when editing an item, you will now see averages under the Labor Time input. These averages will show actual and billable times of the 10 most recent closed work orders for that item.

![Flyntlok Equipment Dealer Management Software - avg](img/avg_times.png)

!!! attention ""
In the near future, we will use this field to estimate your sub-labor costs per work order.

New 🆕

Inventory Sprints

We have added a new feature that will make doing your monthly, quarterly, or yearly inventory counts a breeze! This feature gives you the ability to create what we call an inventory sprint. Within a sprint, you can:

- Create plans that can have specific bins or ranges of bins assigned to them.
- Assign an employee to execute a plan.
- Set a date that the plan is due by.

![Flyntlok Equipment Dealer Management Software - rangedrag](img/bin_drag_range.gif)

Along with this, we have created reports that will show you how much inventory has been adjusted and how your inventory valuations have changed.

!!! note "None of the adjustments will affect inventory until all the plans have been marked complete and the sprint is marked complete"

We prioritized making this feature mobile friendly to give employees the opportunity to carry a smart phone or tablet through the warehouse and execute the counts.

![Flyntlok Equipment Dealer Management Software - phonegif](img/phone_count.gif)

Enhancements 💪

Labels

We have revamped the old labels and added new ones! All of these labels now contain QR codes. When you scan the QR code with a smartphone camera, you will get a notification that will take you to the entity that the label was printed for. There are five different locations that these labels can be found:

1. On the item dashboard, under the actions drop-down, there is a Print Label option. This label will contain the item number, bin location, vendor, and list price, along with a QR code that takes you to the item's dashboard.

![Flyntlok Equipment Dealer Management Software - "label"](img/item_label.png)

2. On the item purchase order, the far-right column has a printer icon that, when clicked, will generate a label. This label will contain the PO number, item number, quantity received, and if the item is a special order, you will see the sales order number and customer. The QR code on this label will take you to the purchase order when scanned.

![Flyntlok Equipment Dealer Management Software - "label"](img/ItemLabelPO.png)

3. From a sales order, there is a new barcode icon in the upper right that will generate a sales order label. This label will contain the sales order number, customer PO, ready date of the sales order or the date that the label was printed, customer of the sales order, and the selected contact information or the contact information for the customer. The QR code here will take you to the sales order.

![Flyntlok Equipment Dealer Management Software - "label"](img/SO_label.png)

4. From a DMS work order, in the Actions dropdown, the bottom option of the *Informational* section is Print Label. This will print a label for the work order that will have the work order number, machine, customer, and contact info for the customer. This QR code will take you to the work order.

![Flyntlok Equipment Dealer Management Software - "label"](img/WO_label.png)

5. From an ERP work order, in the Actions dropdown, the second to last option is Print Label. This will print a label for the work order that will have the work order number, item, department, priority, due date, quantity, and reference if it is linked to a sales order. This QR code will take you to the work order.

![Flyntlok Equipment Dealer Management Software - "label"](img/ERPLabel.png)

Vendor Account Number

When you print a purchase order, if there is an account number associated with that vendor, it will show in the Vendor box of the purchase order pdf.

Strategic Sourcing

On the strategic sourcing report, we have updated it to follow our rules of only being able to set metric override or metric override date when the other is also being set or is already set. We have also added the ability to update the metric override type on this report!

??? info "What is the strategic sourcing report?"
Strategic Sourcing is used as a quick view for vendor stock orders. At the top of the page, you can select a location and vendor that you want to pull the stock order report for. This makes it easier for viewing multiple different vendors' suggested stock orders instead of creating draft stock orders for each vendor. We also allow you to update an item's reorder point, metric override, metric override date, and metric override type from the report. Strategic Sourcing will be located under the purchasing tab on your left nav. If you don't see the report there, please reach out to Flyntlok to get it added!

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.

Enhancements 💪

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
