Major update of the GUI to enhance usability

• Simplified menu structure
  • Settings are moved up into top-level navigation instead of the old menu item “Periodic Activities”

• Complete redesign of Handyman Settings page
• Tooltips on all settings to easy configuration of the system
• Hide rarely used fields – Users may add them via personalization if needed.

Export Basic Data

• Action “Export to Handyman” is now available in all frequently used basic data list pages
• Work Types: Adjusted logic for setting “sum on timesheet” to prevent errors, Added option “other absence”
• Export locations: New default setting is to ignore wholesalers as the extension does not use wholesaler information per item
• Export Sales Persons; Export only entries that have not yet been exported
• Export customers: Ensure changed records are exported upon the next export: Change of record resets “Exported to Handyman” if the record’s setting “Export to Handyman” is activated

Sales Orders

• Map work description to Handyman OrderName
• Use Handyman Order Priority
• Import Flag for internal order,
• Import Planned start/finish date
• Create Sales Orders: Set Handyman Status to Exported

Service Orders

Simplify automation and bulk processing of orders

• For new installations, default value is to show the action “import and process orders” to allow easy processing of incoming orders.
• Export all filtered sales orders from the sales order list

Minor fixes

• Fixed wrong import of decimal values for Import Store movements and import Purchase orders /receipts
