CP SQL 8.4 New Features - Kits/Bills of Material Option

CPSQL 8.4 will allow the following enhancements...

• Prompting for grid cells in kits

CounterPoint can now prompt users to choose the cell (e.g., Red/XL) for each gridded kit component automatically at the time of the sale, which means that users no longer have to manually change the default cell for each gridded kit component. This feature streamlines the process of selling kits, saves time at the register, and requires fewer steps for the user to remember.

•  Prompting for serial numbers in tag-along kits 

Previously, when a user sold a tag-along kit that included a serialized component, the user was not prompted to specify the serial number for that component, requiring the user to re-edit the lines and specify the serial number manually. In this version, CounterPoint prompts the user to specify the serial number for each serialized component automatically at the time of the sale, ensuring that serialized components are assigned he necessary serial numbers.

•  Serialized items in miscellaneous kits 

Previously, serialized items could not be components of miscellaneous kits. This restriction has been removed from this version, allowing you to include Sometimes  Serialized and Always Serialized items in miscellaneous kit definitions. This feature makes miscellaneous kits more versatile, allowing merchants to more easily bundle serialized items with other items.

Like with tag-along kits, when a user sells a miscellaneous kit that includes a serialized component, the user is prompted to specify the serial number for that component automatically. Again, this ensures that serial numbers are assigned to all serialized components.
