New Feature ! Food Connex Cloud now has 5 customer address lines to match the QuickBooks customer file address lines!
Food Connex Cloud will now hold a 5-line address just like QuickBooks does. This will allow for cleaner data transfers between both systems. Address line 1 in QuickBooks will be Address line 1 in Food Connex Cloud, etc. up to 5 lines. The Food Connex Cloud customer file will appear a little differently now than before. This can be seen below.
You will no longer edit the customer’s address information in the MAIN tab – the MAIN tab will now just display the customer’s address.
You will now edit the customer’s address information in a new ADDRESS tab. This can be seen below.
Food Connex Cloud will stop the user from entering more than a 5-line address the same way that QuickBooks does. This can be seen below.

1- The Vendor file will now include all information needed for a PO. There is also a new field called My Account that can be seen below. This is the vendor’s account # for your company if necessary, you can fill this in and it will print on the Purchase Orders that you create for that vendor.

New Feature ! Item Category, Promotion, On Order, and Next Expected PO information will now be available in the OE info bubble!
There are now four new system configs that will allow you to turn on the display of item category, promotion information, PO next expected information, and on order information to display in the order entry line item information bubble that pops up while entering items onto your orders.
The first config is named OE Category, if this is turned on, item category information will display in the oe info bubble.
The second config is named OE promo and if this is turned on, item promotion information (if available) will display in the oe info bubble.
The third config is named OE Next Expected and if this is turned on, the next quantity expected for the item being added to the order will be displayed in the order information box. This flag is not applicable unless Purchase Management is being used.
The fourth config is named OE Qty On Order and if this is turned on, the quantity on order for the item being added to the order will be displayed in the order information box. This flag is not applicable unless Purchase Management is being used.
