Release overview
On Sunday Feb 27th in the evening, we will deploy a new version of CRIBWISE. The administration portal and cloud devices will be down for a few minutes during the update. In this release we deliver several interesting features and Customer management improvements More details can be found in our Help Center.
Highlights
Go To Order and go to Item detail
We now implement a way to easier navigate from a purchase order, by clicking the item in order list we open a new blade next to order blade with item detail information.
This change also goes from the other way around and you now can open active order from the Item detail tab, Active purchase orders.
Also the dashboard widget late purchase orders are now clickable and opens the order detail.
Customer Management Portal update
Several changes in Customer Management for Distributor users (visible also for end-customer account administrators) that can manage their customer accounts, request trials, convert to active account, change qty of licenses, see recurring addons.
Some subscription related things like convert to active button have moved from Home menu to subscription.
With this change it will not be possible for a customer to create more devices in admin portal than quantity of license on subscription. I
t will not be possible to lower any quantity on subscription below actually created devices in admin portal.

Filter and schedule reports
For report and scheduling report to be sent we have now implemented function to be able to send reports regularly with dynamically added date/time filters.
This gives the possibilities to create a consumption report to be sent day 1 every month containing related transactions since 1st last month. This can be done on daily and weekly intervals ad well.
When weekly is selected it will pick the date filters from the last executed report.
The function is activated by tick “Set timestamp filter to repeat”.
Note that this overrides any time filter set in Filters tab.
CRIBWISE | Reporting – Tabular and chart reports
Note that all data in report module is stored on actual transaction date and if transactions are made that is not synchronized from SFI to AP can be missed.
Try to set the time when report are executed during time with no activity in work shop and make sure devices are synchronized.
Due to this limitation we do not recommend this function for integration purposes but here points to the CRIBWISE | BI interface where you also can query date of record creation in db.
Sandvik Coromant product catalogue
We have now been able to merge also Sandvik Coromant product catalogue into same experience as Walter Tools and SECO Tools where you can search for parts of name, description, barcode, Material ID.
Item overview performance enhancements
We have in this release made the Item overview functions much faster than what it have been for the past months especially if customer have large amount of items in the system.
Item CRUD permissions
We have implemented the possibility to limit the rights in Admin portal for users to Create Update and Delete Items. (Everyone still has right to read/view items if not limited by other access rights)
Smaller improvements
- Transfer list updates, we now ignore purchase pack size when items are added in transfer list and instead align with the dispense pack size, this enables satellite stocks to have lower order point and max point then qty you have as minimum purchase quantity. Also Items with status outgoing now can be added to transfer lists!
- We have a field called Ship To ID that is currently on Vendor level this ID can be picked up by orders and sent to suppliers indicating a predefined ship to address in supplier ERP system. Now this field can also be added directly on orders manually or on script level.
