Product Updates

This is a report download that lives under the data dropdown on the jobs grid. It has one row for each job (in scheduled, in progress, or hold status) and gives some basic job details as well as the latest activity logged for that job and a timestamp. This will download all open jobs in alpha-numeric order.

‍

You can now add certifications when receiving outside processing POs. Items must be lot tracked to add certificates. The certification will rollup to the job details certification tab, and to the item certification tab.

Check out our new video series Fulcrum in 4 where we'll highlight some of the most recent Fulcrum product updates! Watch our February wrap-up below where we dive into capable to promise calculations, live chat notifications, default margins, associated records on customers and vendors, new data downloads, and our public API.

We've added a new setting to packslip configuration to show the sales order line item number. If you turn this setting on, instead of numbering the  lines in the shipment by 1, 2, 3, etc, we will show the line item number from the sales order so that your customers can easily match up what's in the box to what they ordered. This can be turned on in System Data > PDFs & Email > Packing Slips.

‍

We’ve added an option when editing items on the BOM that will allow you to add a fixed quantity requirement per job that won’t scale with the number of items that you’re making. As an example, if you require a certain amount of material to start a job whether making one or 100, the BOM can now accommodate that fixed quantity amount. 

‍

We now have capacity visualization for the scheduler! The graphs will look at the four-week period and show the backlog of each department showing late and on-time jobs, as well as unused capacity. 

‍

We’ve added new KPIs to the vendors page for vendor quality, including a quality score for each vendor. This score will be calculated on on-time percentage and rate of issues with the vendor. This will help you evaluate your vendors and choose the best partners for your business. 

‍

When POs are auto-generated, users will now be able to swap the vendor it is assigned to. The purchase order will still automatically pull the item’s default vendor - but you will now be able to select a different vendor as long as the PO is still in draft mode.

‍

We’ve added more currency codes throughout Fulcrum for users that use multiple currencies in the site. You’ll now see currency codes on PO, sales order, quote, and invoice PDFs. This will also show on vendor price breaks and in the vendor details section. This will help add differentiation for currencies with the same symbols, like USD and CAD.  

‍

We’ve made some improvements to the Job Tracking interface for our mobile users. It is more user friendly, with this update focusing on the operation list and pick menu. 

‍

Purchase Orders can now have multiple jobs associated. Additional jobs can be added to the PO from the details The purchase order grid, jobs page, and receiving grid have all been updated to show a list of related jobs.

‍

When creating POs for outside processing vendors, you can now “select all” for line items for the same operations that you use that vendor for. This will allow you to save some time when issuing these types of purchase orders.

‍

You can now download data from the vendor grid to get a helpful list of all of your vendors used in Fuclrum.

Fulcrum users can now upload a profile picture that will show everywhere in Fulcrum. This feature will be particularly helpful in job tracking where we previously only showed user initials which could become confusing if multiple users had the same initials. Now users can add a unique image and help identify their own information faster. 

‍

Our public API is live and available on our website. This is something that we’ve had requested a lot! You can access the API docs here.
