New features

Tasks in applications

This week we are further developing the CRM functions of our system, as a first fruit of this, Task Management is now available within the application elements!

Tasks in Applications

A new task button has appeared in the applications
In the application list, admin users see an option called "Set Application Task Types" which allows setting the possible task types
Admin users, after clicking on the new task button, will also see the Setting option in the pop-up menu
When setting task types, you can specify which user or user group should be the default responsible after creating the task
When you create a task for someone, they will see it when they open the application item, showing the task, its deadline (the system highlights it in red if the deadline has passed). If there are multiple tasks for someone, the system displays them as cards stacked on top of each other. These tasks can be marked as complete when done. The system also stores the completion time.

Minor refinements and further developments by the end of the workweek.

In our latest update, we fixed an issue with revenue calculations, made the invoice look nicer, and improved the usability of the app's item list.

Application element list

In the modified application element list: The option to add a new folder now only retains the icon, the label has been removed to take up less space, as our statistics show that this is a rarely used feature by our users.

Billing

Improved invoice display in the Fryda system as well as in the customer view with minor adjustments.

Inventory / Receipt

Fixed an issue where adding certain products already in stock to receipts was not working as intended during the receipt process.

Significantly enhanced object employee matching

Objects are freely creatable entities that can describe an asset of a customer or company. These can be paired, for example, to store your car's registrations on a given date, or create a pairing of a work tool and a co-worker. This pairing interface has just received 5 new enhancements to make your work even easier!

Object Team Pairing

The first column and first row are set in a semi-bold font
Fixed the filtering issue that was causing the filtering option to not work in certain cases
Now the multiselect for selecting multiple options works as well
A more compact header, around 50 pixels smaller (5-8%), providing a larger working area for users
An upper toolbar is available, with 12 different colors that can be used as cell background colors, even allowing multiple selected cell background colors by clicking on the desired color

Five innovations in bus passenger transport management module

Thanks to our developments, the passenger transport management in our system has become even better. You can now search more easily and narrow down the number of drivers that can be selected as employees, saving you time!

Bus passenger transportation management module

If we provide a description, a "Description" link will appear for that specific route, clicking on which will display the entered description in a pop-up window
The appearance of the route schedule has become more elegant and comprehensible
When selecting a vehicle, searching for the vehicle has been improved, now you can search for the middle part (e.g. the second half of the license plate) as well
We can add hidden notes to each route, which will only be visible to us in the system
In the module settings, it can be configured to display the bus drivers only from certain user groups

Invoice feature

The invoice request function is now available in our system, both as a separate feature from the invoice list, and as a building block that can be integrated into the application being developed.

Supplier invoicing feature

In the invoicing menu, now Supplier Invoices can be generated
In the invoice list, filtering for Supplier Invoices is now possible
In the invoice list, a separate badge is now visible for Supplier Invoices and the option to create an invoice based on the Supplier Invoice is immediately available

Invoice email settings

In the invoicing email settings, templates can now be set for generating Supplier Invoices and can be executed afterward as well

Advance invoice function.

The previously existing Advance Invoice creation function, which was available as a component until now, is now also accessible in a separate invoicing section. Thanks to this change, this function can now be used even if only the invoicing part of the system is utilized.

Advance Invoice Feature

Generating an advance invoice alongside item creation is now specifically available within the invoicing menu.
A new button has been added to the top right of the invoicing screen for creating an Advance Invoice, allowing you to create an advance invoice from scratch.
Advance invoices will have a distinctive blue badge in the invoice list for easy identification.
From advance invoices, you can create a final invoice with one click, where the system will reference the advance invoice's identification number and adjust the amount accordingly.
The system now allows filtering for advance invoices as well, with the Advance Invoice option appearing in the Invoice Type filter.

Smaller enhancements by the end of the week.

The product selector component has been improved, and the Packing Slip list has also become more transparent!

Product Selection

If we turn on the manufacturing function or the switchable work periods, the system displays different fonts to distinguish the products better
If we turn on the manufacturing function or the switchable work periods, a button appears above the table to hide/show manufacturing information and linked work periods

Shipping List

Under the document identifier, you can see the type of document with color codes (green for shipping list, orange for return orders)

Certificate of Completion

In our system, it is now possible to handle completion certificates, for which some building blocks are adjusted. There is also a new settings panel and menu item related to this available in the system!

Settings for Completion Confirmation: In the settings section, under the billing settings, it is now possible to set the default approving person (colleague) related to the completion confirmations, which the system pre-selects in advance. Linked Application Items Component: - Completion confirmations can now be created for the items. - Already created completion confirmations are accessible in different colors to distinguish them from the invoices. - The approving person and supplier can be selected, utilizing subcontractors specified within the application item. If none are selected, all subcontractors are listed for selection.

Further API developments for higher level integration

In this update, the application components have received new API functions to allow for even deeper integration with other software in case it is needed.

Application API Developments

Elimination of customer selection and customer removal
Managing products (addition, deletion, list retrieval) within an application
Creating a shipping label
Creating an invoice

API for logistic operations

As of today, the Logistics API has become available in the system, allowing for the management of delivery notes and returns via the API!

Initially handling of shipping documents and Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) documents
Available options for creation, listing, and deletion
Various customization and filtering options are available, similar to those in the Fryda system
The system provides the viewing and PDF download link for a specific shipping document

Bill of lading

A new building block has been added that allows the system to create a delivery note with just one click using data from other parts of the application. You can now also use this element in your applications!

Shipping Note Component

Brand new building component that creates a shipping note from the specified items.
In the building component, the driver, subcontractor, vehicle, and extra object specified in the settings can be selected.
The building component behaves according to the settings specified in the Settings / Shipping note settings menu, similar to creating a new shipping note on the screen. For example, if we select the subcontractor, we can choose from the vehicles of that subcontractor.
Payment date and method can be specified
After creating the shipping note, the link to the created document and the link to download the PDF are visible

Return merchandise

As a counterpart to delivery notes, it is now possible to create a return invoice, meaning if the customer wants to return the products already delivered.

Return Goods In the Logistics menu and in the Shipping Document menu, you can find the option to create a Return Goods document. If you receive goods returned with a shipping document (i.e. not yet invoiced), you can create a return goods document. You can also create return goods documents from the shipping documents, specifying how much of each product is being returned. You can handle partial returns as well, as you need to specify which products and how much of them are being returned through a simple interface. You can also filter for return goods documents in the shipping document list.

Logistics / Bill of Lading

Our system has now been expanded with a new Logistics menu, where initially functions related to delivery notes can be accessed, but returns management will also be included here.

Logistics menu

New menu in the Common Elements section where functions related to logistics can be accessed, first and foremost the delivery notes.

Logistics settings / Delivery note

In the Settings section of the system, the Logistics section has appeared, where first and foremost the settings for the delivery note function can be accessed. Here you can select the object describing the shipping vehicle, as well as an extra object to be used for delivery notes. You can also set that drivers can only be selected from the specific user group, and you can specify the document identifier prefix for the delivery notes.

Delivery notes

On this interface, you can create and list the delivery notes. Drivers, subcontractors, and shipping vehicles can be added to the delivery notes. If a subcontractor is selected, they will be listed from the subcontractors.

In the delivery note list, you can filter by document type, driver, subcontractor, and the added additional object. In the list view, the system shows the status of acceptance, invoicing, and allows for grouped invoicing as well.

Even simpler production management

Managing mass production of multiple products is now significantly simplified in our software! This is thanks to the fact that production management is now also available in the multi-product selector, and it is specifically designed to be easy and quick to use!

Manufacturing processes in the Item Selector building block

Toggle function in building block settings
When activated, a bar appears below each item that has manufacturing processes, divided proportionally based on the completion percentage of the manufacturing process
On the bar representing the manufacturing phases, there are next and previous buttons to adjust the current manufacturing phase
The current manufacturing phase is shown with a blue background, the completed phase in green, and the yet-to-be-completed phase in white background
Can be set to completion
Thanks to the function, the system is simplified when managing multiple products to be manufactured simultaneously

Handling work items associated with tasks in the task selector component

We have enhanced the Item Selector component, now work items can also be linked to the added products.

Management of work elements associated with items in the Item Selector component

Possible to enable functions in the settings of the building element
The option to add Work Items appears below each item row
A linked Work Items table appears below each item row, where editing and deleting options are available

We fine-tune our preparations for the weekend.

In our Friday update, we fine-tuned the operation of the product selector component and fixed some minor bugs in our system!

Issues

Corrects an error that leads to abnormal product search behavior when both the product selector and the contractual item prices are present simultaneously in a workflow
Corrects a visual issue that occurred in rare cases when using the application element history component

Product Selector Component

When adding a product from inventory, the quantity unit to be added is now visible
Redesigned Settings view

Payment scheduling feature in the product selector

One of our most frequently used building blocks is the Product Selector, so based on feedback from our customers, we have made the Payment Installments feature available here as well!

Payment scheduling option in the product selector element

The function can be activated in the builder settings
The payment scheduling feature is also available within the item selector element, the function consists of two parts. Payment schedules can be managed on top. When payment schedules are changed here, they will also change in other builder elements using this feature.
The payment schedules are visible within the application element
Not visible in print view and PDF
You can set which payment schedules correspond to which items, you only need to use the dropdown menu in front of the item

Company group level financial functions

First, compensation or invoice consolidation can be achieved, which means that if a company has multiple entities and they have issued invoices to each other, the system is able to consolidate these and prepare a compensation invoice, simplifying the financial management at the group level!

Group-level financial functions Additionally, if you are managing multiple companies in the system, the Group Options automatically appear in the Finance section, where we will place group-level financial functions, starting with the Invoice Consolidation or Compensation function. Compensation, invoice consolidation

If you have multiple companies and these companies issue invoices to each other, this menu item lists the invoices not yet settled towards each other.
The system is capable of automatically generating one invoice from multiple invoices, simplifying VAT payment and accounting.
The system voids existing invoices and automatically generates a new one (of course, you need to initiate this process), reflecting the difference between the invoices issued between the two companies.
Of course, the system references the voided invoices in the new invoice (based on which the new compensation invoice is generated).

Customer balance feature

Thanks to this feature, the cash flow and liabilities between the customer and the company can be viewed, the transactions are displayed in tabular form, can be filtered, and can also be downloaded in PDF format.

Customer page

Slightly modified clear user interface

Customer balance

A new Customer balance button has appeared on the Customer page, clicking on it will display the Customer balance in a pop-up window
The balance is displayed in a tabular form, showing the complete transactions between the company and the customer (both supplier and customer transactions), the settlement date, invoice type, and the total balance
Individual invoices are downloadable in PDF format
The complete table is also downloadable in PDF format

User application notifications on a per-element/per-process and per-employee basis.

You can create user notifications within an application. You can even regulate where these notifications appear in the workflow. Therefore, if there is a multi-step complex project, you can place important notifications for each task and the team member responsible for it, ensuring that these notifications are visible only within that specific workflow and project for that particular team member.

This is our development that consists of two parts, the display of the notifications and the builder element that controls it. **1. Notifications** - If there are notifications created, they will always appear on top during the workflow. - They will appear in a list format with a red background. - They will remain visible until we click the "Read and close" button. - Afterwards, they will still be visible as a button, showing how much important information relates to the current workflow (compact view), clicking on it will display the information again. **2. Builder Element** - If you want to create such notifications per project, you need to add the "Application Item: User Notifications settings" builder element. - In this builder element, you can create and manage these notifications. - You can also see who, when read these notifications.

New building element

We will finish the week with a new building block, which shows who modified what in the system (this information is also available in a pop-up window, but with this building block, we can provide visible information for the application). In addition, the handling of invoices has become more beautiful/informative.

Billing / Costs - Handling invoice options more informatively, using icons and colors to facilitate even easier use between options History Building Block - New building block where history can also be placed within the application - Naturally, history remains accessible within the applications by clicking on the clock icon - Similarly to the pop-up window, history can be filtered within the building block

History function

The long-awaited feature has arrived in Frydá! Now the system displays who changed what for a particular element of an application and when, and all of this can be filtered by date.

Previous Actions

Within the application, the previous actions can now be viewed in a timeline format.

Currently, the history of input fields, client selectors, and file upload components can be accessed
The history list can also be filtered by date
It is possible to see who changed what and to what value among the previous actions

Application Elements

A slightly redesigned layout in application elements, with more compact labels button and the appearance of the new history button

It is even easier to work together and edit applications.

Collaboration now works well on weaker computers and mobile devices, and the visibility interface of the application editor has become quicker and more manageable.

Collaboration

We have improved the performance of collaboration, making it faster on smaller performance tools, even in a shared spreadsheet.

Application Editor

In the visibility settings of individual application components, the dropdown menu for selecting visibility condition is now searchable, making the interface easily and quickly usable even in case of numerous conditions.

Enhanced production element and object pairing

In our latest update, we mainly focused on UI type developments, which affect our manufacturing component and the object pairing interface.

Manufacturing building block

UI development, the button that prepares manufacturing and the current manufacturing phase changed color from blue to green, making it more intuitive to use
The system also displays the current progress and remaining time within the building block

Object pairing interface

If user display is not turned on, the user filter disappears and so does the top user list view
The date input field can also be toggled on and off (enabled by default); if turned off, the daily copy function disappears as well
