=== Warehousing and Inventory ===
 
 
Up until now there has been no concept in Emersion of stock location. This new module allows users to place product and product instances in warehouses and bins.  Within this new module, clients can:
 
 
* View and manage warehouses
 
* Drill down into a warehouse to view and manage bins
 
* View product inventory, be able to filter inventory by warehouse or bin.
 
* Manage Organisation Unit association with warehouses and bins to restrict access to warehouses to users within an Org Unit.
 
 
[[Inventory_and_Warehouses | Read more on Inventory and Warehouses]]
 
 
===Product Instances, Cost Price Visibility===
 
 
Track the cost price for an individual product instance item, view the cost price within the '''Products > Product Inventory''' sub tab. Access to the cost price of a product instance is controlled via a base power.
 
 
===Product Instance, Notes ===
 
 
Serialised product instances can now have notes associated which assists stock control & stock take activities.
 
This will also allow you to make notes such as "On loan to Brisbane"
 
 
=== Product Inventory Import ===
 
To accompany the new warehousing and inventory enhancements, the product inventory import has been extended to support the new features. The data dictionary and sample CSV file for the inventory import tool has been provided on the [[Data_Import/Import_Inventory | Import Inventory]] page of the Emersion Wiki
 
 
=== IPND ===
 
 
Emersion now integrates with the IPND (Integrated Public Number Database). Updates to data made in Cumulus can update the IPND. 
 
 
=== Alternative SMS Gateways ===
 
 
Emersion provides a Premium SMS Gateway option to support TCP and other important SMS notifications. Some Clients have asked us to integrate into other gateways. Until now, Service Providers wanting to use their own SMS gateway provider to send SMS events rather than use the Emersion's provider have not been able to do so. Emersion has extended the SMS sub system to allow Emersion alternative SMS Integration. Fees apply for Integration and a different per SMS model applies. Emersion will soon offer a non Premium SMS solution for marketing and non critical SMS communications.
 
 
=== Multiple SMS Gateway ===
 
 
Emersion now supports nominating the SMS Gateway on a per-event basis, allowing some events to be sent using a Premium Gateway and others a different gateway and the '''Bulk SMS''' interface has been updated to support choosing gateway.

Enhancements – General

Price Books

Emersion has revolutionised the way product pricing works in Emersion and now includes the concept of ‘Price books’. From this release, all service provider accounts will contain at least 1 price book marked as default with existing price points moved inside this default. Service providers can then create additional custom price books and map them to an individual child account, an account group, or an account profile. This enhanced flexibility and control over product pricing is controlled via a hierarchy that governs which price is applied in the event of multiple price points across different price books being connected to a customer.

Minor Enhancements

Implemented a colour-coded legend on the Customer List screen for account balances.

Performance enhancements have been made to the Customer > Service Subscriptions list.

Performance improvements have been made to the View Bolt-On Usage page.

Added 'raw' data columns to the View Bolt-On Usage page to aid in the reconciliation of usage.

The usage type in the End User Portal now reflects actual usage instead of just showing the bolt-on usage type.

Optionally enable and disable the Service Desk and Finance Details tabs within the end user portal without affecting Cumulus users.

Bug fixes

Fixed spelling error on the contract package pool page (information text).

Repaired a bug in the service type migrate process to ensure it was calculating the correct migration fee.

Fixed product populate ledger code check box.

Fixed a pagination link on the rate card screen and the bolt-on usage list.

Fixed a bug that meant when the first service feature period is created, it is aligned to the package period instead of the service period.

Fixed a bug with complex address types that required a level type when it was not valid to do so.

On the Customer > Order History page, the system will no longer throw a ‘Not Found’ error when documents were not uploaded when the order is placed.

The Events > Templates > Mappings page now ensures the 'Total Templates' count reflects correct number of templates per action type and message type.

Fixed a bug that prevented the invoice from including service feature set up fees.

Fixed a minor javascript-related issue on the Take Payment page on the End User Portal that occurred under some circumstances.

The status on the service type migrations list screen now shows the correct status.

Repaired a bug with the service type migrate feature preventing it from calculating the correct migration fee.

An issue where usage records arriving for a service that pre-dated a service migration were falling into Quarantine with a No Valid Package Period error.

Fixed an issue that occurred when calculating the total usage for UNITS based tariffs.
