4523
Custom fields for customer, item, vendor, and manufacturer tables will be appended to the end of the file list reports for each table. The header of each column will provide the custom field label. Please note that some fields (those beginning with an owning field of "transfer.") will not export such as SFTP information from sample below.
Touchscreen Fill and Ship Default to Total Quantity for LB UOM
Based on Secured Resource: TS total entry wgt
If enabled then the touchscreen fill and ship screen will default to shipping the total quantity for items ordered by the pound. Currently either default to 1 pound, or if TS Total Entry config was on would default to total quantity. This config will allow pounds to default to total while eaches and cases prompt individually.
Touchscreen Tare Selection Persist Until Item Change
In touchscreen area selecting a tare / container will now persist until the item or transaction is changed. This will prevent having to reselect an alternate tare each time if using a container other than the item default. Changing items or transactions will reset the tare to the item default.
