Download Reports as PDF

You can now download Report results in PDF format. This will only be useful where the Report doesn't have too many columns.  

[![COGS report view with Download as PDF highlighted](/images/download-report-as-pdf-7.avif)](/images/download-report-as-pdf-7.avif)

Above: Reports can be downloaded as PDF after clicking the Report Number in the list of Reports.

  

**Increased Visibility of Preferred Suppliers**

There is now a Preferred badge displayed beside the name of a Preferred Supplier in many more places for Purchaser users - for example, in the Quotes window when creating a Requisition:

**Stocktake Enhancements**

\- Our system will now prevent the creation of a new Stocktake if there is an open Stocktake at the specific Location, for any period.  
‍  
\- An In-Progress Stocktake now has **Up and Down Quantity Steppers**, similar to those found in a [Basic Shopping Mode Requisition](https://learn.purchaseplus.com/articles/basic-shopping). Users can click the Up or Down buttons to increment or decrement the Count of the item during a Stocktake, instead of previously having to delete the number and input the new Count manually:

**Quick Panels for Requisitions and Purchase Orders**

We've added "Quick Panels" to a Requisition and a Purchase Order, that are available on the right hand side when viewing an Requisition or Purchase Order on a large screen:  

[![Quick Panel Purchase Order](/images/quick-panel-po-2.avif)](/images/quick-panel-po-2.avif)

The Quick Panel can be configured to display:  
  
\- Any comments left on the document by another user at your Organisation, or  
\- Links to Related Documents, e.g. the Invoices matched to the Purchase Order.  
  
You can use the **\[Manage\]** button in the top-right hand corner of the Quick Panel to configure what your panels will display. Please note, the Quick Panel will not be displayed if your monitor is not large enough to fit everything else on the screen.  

**Additional Advanced Search Filters**

We have added a number of new Advanced Search filters in different areas of the application. You can now:  
‍  
\- Advanced Search the Supplier Directory by Connected and Not Connected status,  
\- Advanced search All Stock Items by Quotes (i.e. the Stock Item has Quotes from Suppliers, or it has no Quotes),  
\- Advanced search All Stock Items by Recipe (i.e. the Stock Item is a Recipe, or it is not a Recipe),  
\- Advanced search AI Scanning Tasks by FROM Email Address:

**Other Enhancements**

\- You can now set a Department and Account Code on Stock Locations, Stock Items, Stock Level, POS Outlet, and POS Item for Reporting purposes,  
\- Inventory Users can now Delete a Stock or System Location,  
\- There is a new Invoice Type column on the All Invoices page that tells us the method by which the Invoice was created (e.g. manual, AI Scanner, API):

[![Invoice Type column](/images/invoice-type-column.avif)](/images/gr-notes-in-all-invoices-table.avif)

**Supplier Portal Enhancements**

\- There is now a Print option available in the Header Menu on both Purchase Orders and Invoices for a Supplier:  

[![Purchase order summary with Print action highlighted in the menu](/images/print-po-as-supplier.avif)](/images/print-po-as-supplier.avif)
