Hi again!

We hope you had a restful holiday period over Christmas and New Year! It's hard to believe that January has already been and gone. Our team took this time to really dig into a lot of customer pain points, and you'll find a range of enhancements based on your feedback below.

Creating Lite Suppliers

When creating a lite supplier, it's important that key supplier information is captured in one place. To help drive efficiency, we've included the following fields in the Create popup:

• Category
• Payment Term
• Tax Rate
• Tax Registered (NZ & AU only)
• NZBN (NZ only)

Exports

You may have noticed that Exports from Unimarket were limited to 1 years worth of data. Our latest update includes a number of performance enhancements, that have allowed us to drop this time-based restriction and put in a maximum number of records instead. This will allow you much greater flexibility, you could export all Orders across 5 years for a particular supplier, or all invoices for all time in the Pending Invoice Acceptance state. 

Other Enhancements this month

• Contract Workflows are now sorted to show the newest events first.
• Shopping Lists are sorted alphabetically, with your Favourites still at the top.
• It's now possible to add an attachment to an Expense Claim even after it's pending or approved. We're planning to extend this to the Expenses themselves soon.
• Blanket Orders now support a separate ID pattern from other Order Types. This will help admins and end users easily identify blankets, and ensure alignment with the IDs held in your finance system. Ask your Account Manager if you'd like to learn more about this!
• The Invoice Export and report now include Buyer information for Retrofit Invoices. When a Retrofit Invoice is waiting for the Buyer to action it, you'll be able to see their details and chase them up much more easily.

What's Coming

We've been diving into current challenges within supplier registration and supplier creation. Registration is the number one source of support requests from suppliers so we've focused on making it simpler and we've given it a makeover. A long standing need has also been the ability to convert a Lite supplier into a Registered supplier so you can smoothly manage this transition as your suppliers complete the registration process. It will soon be possible to automatically or manually convert a Lite supplier into its Registered equivalent rather than swapping from one to the other.
