Improvements
Framework
NS-10328 Updated NorthScope ActionCommand API to pass through JSON directly without converting between XML and JSON
We improved the performance related to extremely large datasets being used in our Datawarehouse feature set.

NS-10262 More Costing Updates
Manually costing processes continue to be improved to be more straight forward and easier to use. We have also added default cost rates to items and improved how we track a lot’s born on date. All this just so that you can have a better experience using NorthScope. Happy Costing!
Purchasing
NS-10411 Added some more features for Freight Purchase Orders
We updated several things from the first round of Freight Purchase Orders. We simplified how they are generated using new properties on the Sales and Inventory Transaction Class and Carrier records. Users can set a specific transaction class and Carrier to be enabled to auto create Freight Purchase Orders for the accrued freight entered on the shipment records. If any shipment legs with accrued freight contains a Carrier that is not enabled to create Freight PO’s for sales/transfers, then a Freight Purchase Order will not be created regardless if the transaction class and other carriers are enabled.
We updated the AP Invoice record to display the original Freight PO amount and any Freight Variance amount that may have occurred for the transaction.
Additionally, we updated both the Purchase Order Record and AP Invoice to add a Line Source column as well as update some editability rules for auto added lines.
More information about the latest updates we made as well as how to manage and use Freight Purchase Orders, please see this user guide.
NS-10419 Updated the way Purchase Order Lines are added to AP Invoices and Inventory Receipts when the Ordered Qty is 0.00
We realized that users may need to enter line items on Purchase Orders with a quantity and/or price of 0.00 until a Vendor invoice is received, or exact quantities of product are received etc. However, previously these line items would not automatically load onto an AP Invoice that was assigned to the Purchase Order due to zero quantity. We have updated how these lines are added to the AP Invoice to ensure zero quantity/price items will auto load onto the transaction as expected from the Purchase Order.
Sales and Inventory
NS-10431 Updated the Carriers List View and added a new Record View
We converted the Carriers List View to the new 3.0 framework and made some column changes to display the newly added Freight PO related properties by default. We also created a much needed Carrier Record View which will make users lives much easier to set the properties and contacts needed for each Carrier, as well as making this consistent with other master file pages.
Bug Fixes
Framework
NS-10620 Fixed an issue with the Print button printing reports for previously selected records when a List View is filtered for another record
There were some issues when users tried to print reports for records from a List View when filtering because any previously selected records prior to the filter criteria being entered would remain selected in the background and therefore those records would print alongside the currently filtered records which is not what we want to happen. This issue has been fixed and now only the records users expect to print will print.
