Nesting Improvements

  • Nesting and DXF flexibility. Nestimation and "Download Nest Package" now work whether you upload the DXF to the specific operation or directly on the item page.
  • Auto-associate materials to nestable operations. Drop a material on a routing with a nestable operation → automatically associated. Add a nestable operation to a BOM that already has the material → same thing. Fewer mistakes, fewer clicks.

Purchase Orders & Receiving Improvements

  • Bulk actions on Previous Receipts. New checkboxes let you change the receipt date, print labels, or revert across multiple lines at once. Saves a ton of clicking — and importantly, keeps the lines on a single receipt so it still matches the vendor's bill.
  • PO date tooltips clarified. Expected Receive Date (when material should arrive — feeds the scheduler) and Promise Date (vendor's committed delivery date — drives the quality score for late deliveries). Quality Score tooltip on the Vendors page also rewritten for clarity. (Angular PO pages only.)
  • Auto-created Outside Processing POs now pull vendor custom fields. Manual OP POs already did this; the auto-create path was missing.

Items & Materials Improvements

  • Raw Material Catalog expansion. ~23,000 new materials across Bar, Tube, and Structural. Use the "Recently Added" filter on the materials grid to see what's new. Pipe is up next.
  • Item grid sorts by recently created / edited at the top by default — no more hunting alphabetically for the part you just made.
  • Reactive Save button on the Item page. Save is disabled until you've actually changed something, and turns blue when there are changes to save.
  • True Revision Support for Solid Works imports. When you import a SolidWorks BOM and an item already exists in Fulcrum, you can now create it as a proper new revision of that item instead of a brand-new orphan. Works for both the top-level assembly and child BOM components. (Three-dot menu on the parent → Add a Revision.)
  • Previous orders: primary and document currency toggle. Useful when you're based in one currency but sold the item in another — toggle between primary and document currency on the item page's Sales tab.

Job Tracking Improvements

  • Expand / collapse all windows. Operators often just want to see the drawing. New eyeball button collapses all panels — bottom-left on desktop, top-right on iPad / mobile.
  • Larger thumbnail sizes on operation cards — no more pixelated images.
  • Smarter default image hierarchy. Starring an image on the JT now drives the operation page background. Switching to a quality tab swaps in the associated PDF. WO attachments load over job-level attachments. Star indicator now shows when the job is also scheduled.
  • "Picked" column on Work Orders updates after auto-pick. Previously the picked quantities on the work order didn't refresh when auto-pick ran during job and operation completion. Now they update right away.
  • Add button in the picklist works again. Clicking Add right after using the search bar wasn't registering — fixed.

Packing & Shipping Improvements

  • Pack by Box. Click the box icon on a shipment and enter a box number. Anything you pack while a box number is filled gets attributed to that box. New label variables {{ boxQty }}, {{ boxNumber }}, and {{ totalBoxes }} split labels per box automatically — e.g. {{ boxQty }} in Box {{ boxNumber }} of {{ totalBoxes }} produces 3 in Box 1 of 2 and 7 in Box 2 of 2.
  • Improved packing error messaging. Hit "Pack All" on a 100-line shipment and you used to get a generic header. Now you get the first 5 items that failed, so you know what to fix.
  • Item link on Packlist now links to the item, not the sales order. This bugged us too.
  • Company name toggle on labels. Per-template toggle to hide your own company name on the labels you print — keep it on some, off on others.
  • Shipping Backlog Report. Two new optional fields nested under Item Name: Default Location and (Item) Class. Excel users — hit the + above Item Name to expand.

Work Order Job Tracking Redesign

A long-overdue UI cleanup for operators that turned into a much bigger update once we started gathering customer feedback. The new design surfaces communication between the shop floor and management that used to be hidden — next routing step on each job, full routing per item, tag indications when there are job notes or instructions to read, item tags below item descriptions, visibility into inventory transactions made on the job, and search across the WO job list.

Active beta with a handful of shops; broader rollout coming.

Trigger a manual inventory resync for any item directly from Fulcrum. It's a diagnostic tool for the rare cases where Shopify inventory falls out of sync.

New Shopify Authentication

Shopify retired our previous auth method at the beginning of 2026; existing integrations kept working, but new connections were blocked until we implemented OAuth. Connecting now uses a "Connect" button → Shopify Install App → permissions prompt → redirect back. Disconnect is a button + save.

  • Job ran 12 units against a 10-unit Job? You can now record IPT responses for those extra 2 pieces on the overproducing operation.
  • Pre/post operation checkpoints now highlight red when responses are out of tolerance.

Control: Optional PDF Grids

If we can't detect a grid on a drawing, you no longer get blocked — the grid (and per-annotation grid locations) are now optional.

Control: Edit annotations on in-progress operations

You can now edit bubble annotations on in-progress / completed / cancelled operations whether or not responses exist. Editing target values or tolerances can retroactively flag responses as out-of-tolerance. We still block edits that would categorically invalidate existing responses (e.g. changing a numerical checkpoint to a checkbox).

Control: Internal-only notes on annotations

Internal-only notes on annotations carry through to the BOM/Routing IPT step, the Job Tracker IPT tab, the Quality tab on the job page, and the Inspection Plan download.

Control: Basic Dimension Type

New Basic dimension type in the bubbler — basic callouts are always relative to a specific GD&T feature, have no tolerance, and are assumed in-tolerance when recorded in the job tracker.

Extent data (THRU / THRU ALL / THRU WALL / TYP) can now be captured on quality annotations and follows from the bubble through to the FAIR report. Loom video

Price break discounts now appear on Quote and Sales Order previews — matching how line items already display them. Available under the "Price Break Discount Display" feature flag.
