gFM-Business 6.5 released with many new functions

Multi-Search finds all data in seconds

With the new multi-search function, you can find data across the entire ERP software using any search term. Like Apple's Spotlight search in macOS, after entering a search term you will receive a list of all data from all modules in which the search term was found, sorted by type of data.

The new multi-search search works in exactly the same way as the list windows, with the difference that all modules are searched in simultaneously. The results are displayed in fractions of a second. Click on an entry in the list to call up the data record in the corresponding module.

Open the multi-search window either in the main menu at the top left using the new multi-search icon, or open the window on each data screen under the left-hand navigation using the new multi-search icon. 

More convenience in document items of the billing document

In the Invoice-module, we have added a new function that allows you to select or deselect all items in the voucher with a single mouse click. To do this, simply click on the small checkbox symbol in the title bar of the line items.

Collective delivery bills from individual order items

In previous versions, collective delivery bills could be created from several orders, whereby all items of a selected order were then transferred to the delivery bill.

gFM-Business 6.5 also allows you to create a collective delivery bill from individual items of several orders. To do this, simply select the desired items to be transferred to the delivery bill. If you use the function [Collective delivery bill] you can select in a dialog whether you want to create the collective delivery bill from several complete orders or from individual order items.

Packing list and packing assistant

The order module in the invoice contains the new "Packing list" print layout, which contains a list of all items to be packed in the respective order. The list also includes items from Parts lists is taken into account. The packing list contains the barcode of the order, which can be used to call up the order by scanning from the scan module of the main menu.

Packing assistant with support for barcode scanners

With the new function [Scan] In the order module, you can simply scan all items of an order with a barcode scanner and automatically book them out of the document and warehouse. Clicking on the button opens a new window containing all document items and, if applicable, items from parts lists. The wizard supports the scanning of items either with or without a serial number.

Call up the packing wizard directly in the main menu

You can open the Pack Assistant directly in the main menu using the scan icon at the top left of the main menu. The icon is located to the right of the new multi-search icon. After clicking on the icon, simply scan the barcode of your packing list to call up the wizard for the corresponding order.

EAN code for recognizing scanned articles

The EAN code is used to recognize the scanned items, which is why the EAN code in the Article management must be entered. After scanning the EAN code, you can optionally scan another barcode with a serial number. The software automatically recognizes whether the second scan is again an EAN code of the next item or a serial number of the item just scanned. If no EAN code of another item in the receipt has been recognized, the scanned value is automatically entered in the [Serial number] written.

Import articles from Modified-based online stores

gFM-Business 6.5 supports the following within the scope of the Interface for (xtc)Modified-based online stores now also supports the import of articles from the online store into the article management of the ERP software. Import articles either in automatic or selection mode. If you specify the path to the item images when defining the interface, all associated item images are also automatically imported during the import.

Delete invoices and credit notes in the billing document

Yes, you read that right: Invoices and credit notes can now also be deleted in the invoicing module, but with one restriction: only the last invoice or credit note entered can be deleted. During the deletion process, the number range is automatically reset by one number. All invoices and credit notes created before the last data record cannot (and must not) be deleted.
