Tryton Release 6.6
We are proud to announce the 6.6 release of Tryton.
This release provides many bug fixes, performance improvements and some fine tuning. What is also significant is the addition of 10 new modules and support for the Ukrainian language.
You can give it a try on the demo server, use the docker image or download it here.
As usual migration from previous series is fully supported. No manual operations are needed to migrate from 6.4 to 6.6.
Here is a list of the most noticeable changes:
Changes for the User
The validation error messages have been improved to include the record name and the value causing the problem to make it easier for the user to solve the issue.
Saved CSV exports now have an option to include a header row or not.
Accounting
We added a wizard which allows move lines to be delegated to another party. This is useful when a debt is transferred to someone else or when correcting mistakes.
When a delegation like this is done for an invoice move, the new party is stored as an alternative payee on the invoice. It is also possible to define the alternative payee before posting the invoice.
The statement lines now require a party to be set for any accounts that require a party. This gives direct feedback to the user instead of later raising an error popup.
Now, before posting a landed cost or a shipment cost, we show the user how the cost will be allocated. This helps prevent mistakes. Once posted it’s still possible to see the allocation.
Commission
It is now possible to create a commission manually. This is useful to record commissions that are calculated by another system.
The commissions can now be included (or not) in the stock margin report thanks to the contextual checkbox.
Country
We’ve added country organizations, this is used to store a list of countries are currently in a organization. By default we create and setup major economic organizations like the European Union, the North American Free Trade Agreement, and Southern Common Market etc.
We’ve also added the UN M49 regions which group countries based on their geographical location. This is useful for reporting.
Incoterm
We now display the transport mode on the carrier list.
Marketing
It is now possible for a party to unsubscribe from a scenario. This will prevent any new records (like sales) linked to the party from starting a new activity for the scenario.
The number of subscribed emails per list is now calculated. This is often interesting information, and can indicate the popularity of a mailing list.
Party
The contact mechanisms can now be linked to an address. This is useful to record, for example, that a phone number is at a specific place.
The relationships between parties now have start and end dates. When the current date is no longer between the start and end date of the relationship, the relationship is automatically inactive.
Purchase
We added reporting for purchases. It shows information such as the quantity, amount of expense and the trend. The reports can be grouped by supplier or product.
Sale
The sale reporting can now use the new regions to group sales.
Sales now support the collection of goods from the warehouse. This is done by simply using the warehouse address as the shipment address.
We now store which employee has processed the major states of a complaint. This is useful for auditing when something has gone wrong.
The subscriptions now have a revision number that increases each time the subscription is modified by going back to the draft state. All the modifications are also historized.
The sales opportunity now uses the default payment term for the customer if they have one.
The subscription services are now displayed on the product form. This makes it easier and faster to create a new service.
Stock
It is now possible to cancel a move that is done, if the stock period is not yet closed (but only by code). This allows shipments, that are cancelled in the middle of the workflow (for example after picking), to cancel the intermediary moves (and, for example, leave the outgoing location empty).
Outgoing shipments support pickup at the warehouse, if the address is the warehouse address.
It is now possible to reset packed customer shipments. This is useful when a user discovers a mistake just before shipping.
We no longer check that there are no consumable products in a location that is being deactivated. Only goods are checked.
If a user has set a stock lot on the supplier moves of a drop shipment, we copy the lot to the customer moves.
We added support for the preferred notification method for the DPD carrier.
We now use, by default, the contact mechanism linked to the shipping address for all the shipping services.
New Modules
Account Consolidation
The Account Consolidation Module allows consolidated accounting reports for multiple companies.
Account Statement SEPA
The Account Statement SEPA Module implements importing CAMT.052, CAMT.053 and CAMT.054 SEPA files as statements.
