[Feature Release] OrderEase B2B Order Management Technology June 2024

As summer has been heating up, so have our features. Take a look at what's new with OrderEase.


It’s halfway through the year (in release note time), and we’ve got another round of updates for you. There’s new options for your teams to play with, core functionality enhancements that range from speed upgrades to improved PDF reading, and most important of all — you, our loyal release notes readers right here with us.

Key B2B Order Management Solution Feature Releases:

Core Functionality Improvements

→ Integration Improvements

Core OrderEase functionality improvements

Suppliers & Buyers: New “All” option on orders, shipments, invoices and credit notes.

We now provide customers the option to view all orders or shipments to see your order information from all time including:

  • Orders
  • Shipments
  • Invoices
  • Credit Notes

Suppliers & Buyers: Added a group filter for our Customer Engagement Report

Our suppliers can now view customer engagement by specific groups — giving you greater granularity and control over your customer engagement data.

Suppliers: Keeping it fresh & clean: Media delete function

To help you keep things clean, up-to-date, and easy to manage we’ve added a delete function for any media items you have uploaded into OrderEase. Now users with a “Delete” permission can remove media at their leisure. Be warned though, once it’s gone, it’s gone forever. Or until you reupload it. 


Suppliers: New config option — Set default SKU for unmatched products

We created a new configuration setting where a supplier can set a default product. When an order comes in and there isn’t a match to a product in OrderEase, the unmatched product will be automatically assigned to the default SKU.  This allows the order to push through into your ERP without an error notification allowing you the ability to work within your ERP vs going into OrderEase to resolve errors.

 

Suppliers: PDF parsing — Enforcing minimum orders

Our PDF parser now can now check to see if customers are not meeting their minimum order. It can respond and let them know that their order was not submitted as a minimum wasn’t met, and log it in OrderEase. This is to provide greater clarity and flexibility for your order management staff. 

Suppliers: Added a formal ‘Cancel by date’ to the orders table

We’ve moved the cancel by data to a formal field in the Database & Orders Modals grouping. Now suppliers can enter a cancel by date on their order processing screen. Cancel by dates have also been added as a parameter to all order creation endpoints, allowing OrderEase to pick up data via API, EDI, and PDF — or provided by third-party integrators making calls into our system.

All Users: New EDI documents page

While various EDI documents were attached to orders as a .txt file, we wanted to make them easier for our customer to view. To do so, we’ve created a new page called EDI documents which will display ONLY the media attached to its respective EDI integration order. 

All Users: New EDI documents page

We’ve cut down how long it takes the history page to load.  Suppliers with large volumes of sales were finding this page would take a long time to load. The page now loads in a row between 100-500 entries long to minimize the amount of loading time required. 

Major shipments expansion:

We’ve now given suppliers the ability to bulk import shipments to manage their EDI ASNs. This is helpful for suppliers who don’t currently have shipping / logistics software and need to upload their shipping data to OrderEase manually. This will ease managing packages and package quantities.

Updates:

  1. Created a shipments import function that will allow suppliers to bulk import shipments
  2. Created a new "Advanced Import" tab under the Shipments > Import page
  3. Created an import setting to "Automatically Generate UCC-128 (GS1) SSCC values for GS1 labels.” Default is FALSE. If a value is given and this setting is ON, OrderEase will take the serial number provided.

 

OrderEase Integration Improvements

We’ve made improvements to a slew of our integrations. Scroll down to find what’s changed for you!

ShipStation Enhancement — New custom field mapping

We’ve created the ability for suppliers to pick and choose within their ShipStation UI which data fields go to which EDI tags or internal OrderEase fields.

Order Details - New mapping for customer order numbers.

OrderEase now allows you to see Customer PO and Customer Order Number within our platform if they are supplied by the trading partner / customer. 

QuickBooks Desktop Enhancement — Push Orders as Invoices

We’ve created a new integration configuration that allows suppliers to push new orders to QuickBooks as either sales orders or invoices. This should give more flexibility to your sales teams.

QuickBooks Desktop Enhancement — Additional status push options

As part of our expansion of order statuses, we are able to push to QuickBooks, we’ve added four categories for suppliers.

  1. OrderSubmitted
  2. OrderConfirmed
  3. OrderInvoiced
  4. OrderShipped

 

Odoo enhancement — Push orders or Quotes

We’ve created a new integration configuration that allows suppliers to create new orders as either sales orders or quotes. This should give more flexibility to your sales teams.

Buyers: Analytics & CRM

If your organization has an active subscription to our analytics platform, you will now be able to navigate the product more freely with an enhanced embedded menu bar.

That’s all we have for now. As always, if you have any questions, please reach out to your OrderEase representative!
