Customers: "Inactive" Checkbox on Contact Screen

 

A new Is Active option allows you to disable a Customer Facing Web (CFW) user’s login access without deleting the contact. The Is Active option is only visible when the “Access on Customer Facing Web” box is checked on a CFW Contact. By default, the Is Active option is checked for existing users and when a new contact is granted access to as a CFW user.

 

When to use this

      A user leaves the company

      A user changes roles and no longer needs access

      Temporary access needs to be revoked

 

How to make a CFW user inactive:

1.    Go to Customers > choose Customer > Contact Info tab > and select a user from within the Contact Person section.

2.    Click the Edit icon for the contact

3.    Within the Additional Details section, uncheck Is Active.

4.    Click Save.

 

To restore access, just check the Is Active option and save.

 

Figure 1: This CFW user is inactive as the Is Active” option is not checked.

 

 

Transaction: Improved Error Message for Item Location

 

Why this was needed:

When an item’s location does not match the transaction, the system now displays a clearer error message. This can occur if the Outbound Processing transaction is edited to change the Location where an item number is to be pulled.

 

What you'll see now:

The message will read:

"Item [item number] is not available [vault/pallet info] at location [location]. Please review and update the transaction."

 

What you need to do:
The original location chosen will still be on the Outbound Processing transaction, either:

      Update the Outbound Processing transaction to use the original location
or

      Use Move Location to fix the discrepancy 

 

 

Administration: Location Deletion Fix

 

Previously, some locations could not be deleted even when they should have been. The system displayed this error: “An error occurred while deleting the locations.”

 

This issue has been resolved.

 

As a reminder, Locations are removed here: MSWhse > Administration > Warehouses > [Select Warehouse] > Locations tab.
