Changelog

This release (version 1.0.15) brings a solid set of new features and improvements to Opus Cloud, with a focus on collections, inventory reporting, and the admin dashboard. We've also squashed a good number of bugs across the platform too.

New Features & Enhancements

Inventory & Reporting

• Replenishment Import/Export Fields: Replenishment point and max values can now be included in your inventory imports and exports. This means you can manage restocking threshhold right from your spreadsheets without having to update them individually within the dashboard.

• Stock Count Tracking: We've added a "last counted" date to product variants, so you can quickly see which items have been counted recently and prioritise them in your next stock check.

• Stock Count Variance Report Emails: Opus will now email you automatically when stock count variances are detected. No more having to check manually as discrepancies get flagged the moment they are found.

• Automatic Variance Report Setting: There's a new option in your user settings to opt in to automatic variance report emails. Once enabled, these will land in your inbox without you having to do anything.

• Stock Transaction Filtering: You can now filter stock transactions by source type and by who made the change. Handy for tracking down exactly where an inventory adjustment came from.

Order & Collection Management

• Refresh Collection PIN: If a collection PIN has expired or been lost, users can now grab a fresh one from directly within the Shop UI without needing to make contact to an admin.

• PIN Invalidation on Reschedule: Rescheduling a collection now automatically invalidates the old PIN, so there's no risk of a previous code being used.

• Advance Booking Limit for Collection: We've added a setting that lets you control how far in advance customers can book a collection slot. Useful if you want to keep scheduling within a specific window.

• Order Cancellation Alert: When an order is cancelled, any assigned third-party collector will now receive a notification. This helps avoid wasted trips and keeps everyone in the loop.

Collections & Dashboard

• Collection Export: Collections data can now be exported in bulk, so you can pull it into your own reports or share it with your team outside of Opus.

• Collection Filtering: We've added filters for stores, users, and date ranges to the collections view, which should make finding what you need much quicker.

• Expired Collections Widget: There's a new dashboard widget that shows expired collections at a glance, so they're easy to spot and act on.

• Uncollected Orders Widget: Another new widget highlights uncollected orders on your dashboard. You can configure the threshold to suit your operation, so you're only alerted when it matters.

Inventory Transactions UI

• Enhanced Inventory Transactions View: The transactions list now includes item-level detail with expandable rows. You can dig into specific changes without navigating away from the page.

Bug Fixed & Improvements

Product & Inventory Management

• Inventory Transaction Display: If a user who performed an inventory action has since been deleted, the system will now show "Deleted" rather than leaving the field blank or throwing an error.

• Replenishment Import Validation: We've tightened up the validation on replenishment point and max values during imports, so any issues are caught before the data goes in.

• Stock Location Import Fix: Fixed a problem where stock location and colour fields weren't being validated properly during Excel imports.

• SKU & Barcode Uniqueness: Duplicated SKU and barcode checks are now enforced correctly when updating products via import. Previously, some duplicates could slip through.

• Variant Pricing Accuracy: Store-level pricing for product variants now loads more reliably, which means the right prices show up consistently.

• Performance Improvements: We've resolved a number of under-the-hood performance issues that were slowing down data loading across products, pricing and inventory screens.

• Stock Transactions Cleanup: Tidied up the stock transaction process and removed some outdated validation rules that were no longer needed.

Order Management

• Order Deletion Protection: You can no longer accidentally delete an order that has inventory transaction tied to it. This protects your stock records from unintended changes.

• Order Update Reliability: Order updates and their associated inventory changes now happen together as a single operation. This prevents cases where one could go through without the order.

• Duplicate Record Prevention: We've added safeguards to stop duplicate collection records from being created during busy periods.

• Order Priority Flexibility: Order priority now supports multiple types, giving you a bit more flexibility in how you categorise and manage orders.

• Third-Party Order PIN Fix: Remote lock PINs were being generated for third-party orders where they weren't needed. That's been corrected.

• Project Number Field Removed: We've taken the project number field out of order integration templates to keep the order creation form cleaner.

Basket & Checkout:

• PO Number Deselection: There was an issue where deselecting a PO number during checkout didn't work properly. That's now fixed.

• Basket Loading State: The basket loading indicator now resets correctly after updates, so it no longer looks like it's stuck processing.

• Tax Calculation Fix: Fixed a bug in the basket's tax calculation that could result in incorrect totals at checkout.

User Interface & Digital Front End

• Battery Indicator Fix: The battery indicator in the UI now handles missing data properly instead of showing an error.

• Navigation Layout Fix: When a notification banner is showing, the vertical navigation menu now adjusts its height correctly so nothing gets hidden.

• Improved Autocomplete: Search autocompete is now faster and handles results more reliably, especially with larger datasets.

• Allocated Inventory Pagination: Added items-per-page options to the allocated inventory screen, so you can control how much data you see at once.

• Order List Filters Preserved: Filters on the order list now stick when you first land on the page. No more having to re-apply them every time.

• Shop Category Performance: The shop category menu is now more responsive, which should make browsing noticeably smoother.

• Dashboard Layout Polish: We've tidied up the layout of filters and widgets on the dashboard for a cleaner, more consistent look.

• User Form Alerts: Alert messages in user forms now appear next to the relevant fields alongside validation errors, so problems are easier to identify.

• Settings Page Cleanup: Removed some unnecessary icons from alerts on the settings page to reduce visual clutter.

• Media Fixes: Fixed a couple of issues in the media manager, one with the image slider and another with background image deletion.

User Management

• User Import Simplified: We've removed the max order amount field from bulk user imports, which was causing confusion and wasn't needed during import.

API & Permissions

• API Error Responses: Certain API errors now return properly formatted JSON responses, which should make troubleshooting integrations easier.

• Custom Fields Permissions Fix: Fixed an issue where permission checks for managing custom fields weren't working as expected.

• PO Validation Permissions Fix: Permissions for PO validation actions have been corrected so only the right users can access them.

PO Validation

• Optional User Group Handling: PO validation no longer throws an error when a user group isn't specified. It now handles this correctly.

• Validation Type Fix: Fixed a logic issue that could occur when creating or updating PO validation rules.

• Hidden PO Field Behaviour: If the PO number field is hidden, validation rules are now properly ignored instead of potentially blocking the checkout process.

• Last Updated Column: We've added a "Last Updated" date column to the PO validations list, making it easier to see when rules were last changed.

Notifications & Reports

• Stock Email Fix: Fixed a bug that was preventing stock-related email notifications from updating correctly.

• Variance Reporting Emails: Stock count variance reports can now be sent via email notification.

• Collection Reminder Emails: We've improved the wording of collection reminder emails and added a "My Orders" button, so recipients can go straight to their orders with a single click.

Integrations

• ARCULES Camera Status: For environments using ARCULES, camera status indicators are now shown directly in the tenant list view.

• Multiple Camera Event Types: Camera thumbnail capture now supports multiple event types, which means richer media is available for each collection.

Collection Rules

• Relocated to Stores: Collection rules have now moved to the Stores page, where they sit alongside other store-level settings. We've removed the separate "Collection Rules" menu item to keep the menu tidier.

That's everything in this release. As always, we really appreciate your feedback as it plays a big part in shaping what we work on next. If you have any questions about these changes, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

As always, thank you for your feedback and for helping us improve the platform!

In this release (version 1.0.12) we are excited to deliver new features to Opus Cloud, improving order collection and inventory management for Opus administrators.

Order Management - View Camera Media for every order collection

Opus administrators can now view camera media relating to the user collection process of every order. Once an order has been collected, Camera Media will be collated and uploaded to the order for quick and easy viewing, directly within Opus Cloud.

The media types are:

• Camera Stills

• Video Snippets (coming soon in a future release)

Opus administrators can use this new feature to analyse in-store experience as well as entry and collection behaviour. All on a per order basis, from a single platform.

Inventory Management - Transaction tracking by Source

Opus administrators and inventory managers can now track product inventory changes by their source. This means greater traceability on where discrepancies arise, which is extremely helpful when conducting stock counts. Simply visit the Inventory Transactions section within the Opus dashboard, to find 'Source' as a column within the data window.

The difference source types we have are:

• System: This will be orders deducting stock to fulfil order flow.

• Manual: This will be any manually adjusted stock levels against products using Opus Cloud or the Opus mobile app.

• Count: This will be any Stock Counts conducted using the Opus mobile app.

Having a breakdown of the different adjustments by source can greatly improve inventory discrepancies when managing Opus environments.

General improvements & fixes

• Search functionality has been improved when searching for product variants.

• Inactive stores will no longer be shown when altering database filters

• We've removed price and tax columns from order items list in the dashboard to improve readability.
