A new feature in inventory management:

• We’ve added a hard reservation for goods. It prohibits the shipment of reserved goods. When creating a shipment, you can now deny the shipment of a reserved item. It can be shipped only if the reserve is set in a certain order. For now, this only works for shipment, but we will soon add reserve control for other documents.

• One can download, print, or send to a counterparty a template for the Transactions list.

There is a bunch of updates in workflows:

• One can change the Counterparty field in a new workflow. Go to Settings → Workflows → add a new one → Add action → Update Counterparty fields. For instance, add a customer whose purchases exceed a certain threshold to the Regulars group. Then one can work with such buyers in bulk — send mailings with special offers or transfer them to personal managers.
• One can create a workflow for a sales return. Go to Settings → Workflows → add a new one → Object → Sales Return. It’s possible to automatically change the status of documents, set a reserve or pending, create tasks for employees, and send notifications.

Changes in the production module:

• While creating a bill of materials, you can set up the labour cost rate for each operation. Go to Production → Bills of Materials → add a new one → Operations Costs → Labour Cost. Thus the labour cost is calculated for the exact employee who completed the production stage.
• Now it’s possible to open a product card either of a finished good or of a raw material in a production order. Go to Production → Production Orders → add a new one with all necessary products & click on the cards. So you can make changes straightaway.

New opportunities in the Production module:

• Work in Progress (WIP) has been added. You can monitor WIP volume for each production order or a set of them. Also, it is possible to keep track of WIP for products in stock report, and to take it into account while creating sales orders — WIP is counted in the column In Transit.
• Also, you can indicate particular employees who completed a specific production operation (section Process Tracking).
• Unit cost column can be found in Operations Reports.

Some new possibilities for our users in the Production module:

• Operation Reports are available as a separate list of transactions. Now you can monitor all stages for all Production Orders, filter them by BOM or type of operation.
• Custom Fields are available for Operation Reports. Custom Fields can be used to assign an employee to the specific stage or add ‘quality check’ mark for each stage + responsible for quality check person. Custom Fields are supported in Filter, too.
• We add the possibility to print barcode stickers directly from the Production Order. After completion of production just print them according to the quantity of finished goods.
• New default print form ‘Product costs estimation’ is available for the BOM.

Also we have released a new Tutorial. Now you can not only pass through the main steps to create a Product, Receiving and Shipment, but also read about other features for each module.

• Address Storage is available in Kladana. Now you can assign all current good stock to the bins in your Warehouse, define storage location and bins for received goods and choose manually or automatically bins in Receiving transactions. Also print form Pick List is available, it could help to speed up the order collecting process.
• Batches and expiry dates are available in beta, this option can be switched on for your Kladana account after request to our support. Kladana helps you to account separately for the stock of goods with the same SKU but received from different Suppliers or with different expiry dates, monitor in reports products by batches, choose for the Sales order products from specific batches.

A long-awaited update in the Production module: now you can change the quantity and list of Raw Materials in the Production Order before starting the production process, if any stage is completed or after all stages are completed. Also you can change the list and quantity of Finished Goods after the completion of any of the stages.

It can be useful if:

1. you produce very customized product and need to change raw materials before starting of production for a specific Production Order;
2. you produced more or less after any of the stages and want to change quantity of the finished goods exactly after this stage;
3. you want to replace raw material in the Production Order to a similar one without changing a BOM.

More information on How to change actually produced goods and used raw materials in PO in our Help center.

We have updated the default print format for some essential system documents: Sales Quotation and request for Quotation, Invoices, Receipt form and some more. Also you can download your company logo, it is supported in the system print forms.

We added the possibility to request a custom print form directly from the interface. Our support team will create* it for you with all necessary data.
(*) Available only for paid plans

New print forms are available in the Production section. You can print BOM, Production order (completed or not), list of Production orders.

We are back with great news: Send by email option is available in Kladana. Send in 2 clicks any document directly from Kladana to your counterparty. Choose how your customer or supplier will see it: as a link to a web-published document, attached .pdf or .xls file.

Also we added auto sending of reports to your email: just switch it in for a specific report and you will get a report in your mailbox in the morning.

We updated the linking mechanism for transactions. Now for most transactions it is possible to create different types of ‘related transactions’, manually link already created transactions to another one and easily find all related transactions and see their statuses and states.

For example, you created an independent Purchase Order and Receiving. You can link these transactions with warehouse Transfer or Sales Order, in case if any of the transactions changes status or will be modified, it will be easy to track all involved transactions.

GST calculation is now supported by Kladana. You can choose an appropriate tax regime for your company and for counterparties, fill State and GSTIN, fill HSN and SAC codes for product and service cards. GST (CGST+SGST or IGST) is calculated in all Sales and Purchase transactions. More information on GST in our Help Center.

Update in User access rights configuration. Now you can set up permissions for each user or group of users very flexible: allow or deny access to the sections, provide different levels of access to create, edit or see transactions, define if reports are available and much more.

We’ve improved Workflows. Now you can configure Workflow to run when one of several conditions is met.

For example, it is possible to send a notification to the manager if the order amount is more than 10,000 or if there is an order from a specific Customer.

• We’ve released ‘Materials allocation to committed stock’ for Production Orders in Kladana. This will help to reserve raw materials for specific Production Order.
• Quantity of Finished goods can be changed after saving the Production Order.

• Custom fields are now available for BOMs. It may be convenient if you want to add extra information about Materials or Production Operations. For example, nutritional value or a recipe for food.
• Few conditions are available for Workflows. For example, «receive notifications on different status for Sales Order: Shipped, Paid, Canceled». It allows you to reduce the number of similar Workflows.

• ‘Supply’ function is available to order missing raw materials in the Production Order. Via ‘Supply’ you can create a Purchase Order for Raw materials or a Production Order for the components.
• Reorder Point is available for Variants now.
• Some updates for Process Tracking in Production Order: you can add and remove items from the list of raw materials before start of production or after completing any of the stages.

• More variants of Conditions for Workflows: operators ‘more’, ‘less’, ‘more or equal’, ‘less or equal’, as well as ‘filled’ and ‘not filled in’ are available to check the values in the fields of transactions.

  For example, if the Amount Ordered is ‘more’ than 100,000, Sales Order can be automatically assigned to a specific manager.

• Production Order can be created against Sales Order now (one Production Order from one or several Sales Orders)

• Reorder Point: you can set up different values for different Warehouses for a specific Product (in Product Card ≫ fields to set up Reorder Point).
• Several improvements in Production Orders: multiple BOMs are available in one Production Order, Production Operations are marked as ‘completed’ separately and you can specify Raw Materials for each production operation of the Routing in the BOM. Actual cost of Finished Products is calculated.

• Custom Sales Channels are available in Kladana. By the way, it is possible to assign a Sales channel for a Sales Order automatically, via Workflow.
• The payment status is set up automatically for Sales Order and Shipment.
