Hi there,
We've made a few updates and enhancements that we'd like to share with you:
We hope you enjoy these changes!
Hi there,
You now have the functionality to apply a partial payment to an Invoice in three easy ways.
From within a Submitted Sales Order you can generate an invoice based on:
By opening a Submitted Order, selecting Options
> Partial Invoice
> you can select how you want to generate a partial invoice, and then select Options
to Print
or Email
the invoice. When Print
or Email
is selected the invoiced amount will generate the required invoice in your accounting package if enabled.
The Invoice status now also includes Partially invoiced
when a partial invoice has been generated, and by running your cursor over the Invoiced status
a popup will display the Invoiced amount and the Remaining amount on the order to be invoiced.
You can find more information about how partial invoicing works here.

Hi there,
We've made a few small product improvements to help you get your work done on a daily basis.
Hi there,
In alignment with changing a customer's name on a Sales Order, you can also change a Supplier's name on a Purchase Order (PO).
If you inadvertently create a PO under a wrong company, you can change the Supplier's name once the PO has been submitted.
To change the Supplier's name, open the submitted PO > Options > Change supplier.
Changing the Supplier on a PO will remove all contact and address details and set the PO back to draft status. All product and pricing information will remain. And the PO will be deleted and recreated under the new Supplier name in your accounting package (if you're integrated with one).

Hi there,
Expanding upon our recent addition of Collaborate on products, customers and suppliers, you can now seamlessly share important attachments on Sales and Purchase Orders.
By simply enabling the 'auto-attach' option via the kebab/other options menu next to an attachment in a product, customer or supplier's Collaborate tab, files can be automatically attached to newly created Sales or Purchase Orders.
Utilising auto-attachments minimises time spent manually attaching common files to orders, such as work instructions or product images, and ensures your team never miss important information.
For further information review online resources or contact us at support@factory.app.
Hi there,
Functionality has been extended to allow you to add ANY product from your Product Catalogue to a PO, even if that product isn't linked to a specific supplier.
When adding a product to a PO, products supplied by the Supplier will be displayed at the top of the Add product to purchase order window under the new Supplied Products category, with all other products (not assigned to the Supplier) listed below in their standard categories.
Use search
, or expand categories, to select a product.
The Pricing table of the selected product will display prices for assigned and Preferred Suppliers (indicated with a green tick). If adding a product that isn't assigned to the Supplier, an additional 'Price' column will display a $0 value that can be used to add the product to the PO, then edited once on the order.
We'd love to hear your thoughts after using this new functionality, so please don't hesitate to submit your feedback below or email support@factory.app.
Hi there,
Back by popular demand, the Collaborate
tab has been extended from Sales and Purchase Orders to Product pages, and Customer and Supplier profiles.
Add notes, images and documents to products, such as technical drawings or work instructions.
And capture important information about customers and suppliers, such as key conversations that have taken place with accounts.

Hi there,
We've implemented an additional, faster way to add products to your Sales and Purchase orders.
Within each order's page, you'll notice a new search field where your product and pricing information is typically displayed.
By typing into this new search field you can now search for products and add them directly to your order without needing to launch your Product Catalogue.
The search will even encompass all information from each product's pricing table, meaning you can search by product name, code, attribute, or anything else you wish!
As always, we'd love to hear your thoughts after using this new search experience, so please don't hesitate to reach out with your feedback.
