Delivery runs can now be locked to prevent changes. For more on how this works, please see the Locking own-vehicle delivery runs help guide. There has also been a re-arrange of some of the buttons that apply changes to delivery runs, to keep them better organised. Please see the new "Run actions" button at the top of a delivery run for any of the buttons you're used to seeing.

You can now mark containers as “Out of service” and filter your containers list on this status. They’ll also be filtered out of your available container numbers.

Make sure you have the Display assigned containers and batch number on delivery manifests, invoice/delivery note and courier pick list PDFs setting enabled in Settings -> Delivery settings, to take advantage of this improvement.

Previously, stock at all sites was included in price list stock levels, but you can now choose which sites to include when generating price lists. This can also be saved in your "Price list template" for easy re-use.

How Breww calculates future stock availability has been vastly improved, which should help keep you selling, if you'll have stock available in time. In some situations in the past, Breww would have thought the stock wouldn't be available when it could actually have been. This is no longer the case. For more on this, please see the original feature request and scroll to the final post in that thread for more information on the solution and to find out about the "See the future" feature!

Customer groups have been renamed Parent companies to better highlight their intended use, and we're excited to announce that they also now have far more powerful functionality!

What’s new with Parent Companies?

Parent Companies come with several enhancements:

• Multiple contacts: Add and manage multiple individual contacts for each parent company
• Multiple phone numbers and email addresses: Assign multiple phone numbers and email addresses to each parent company
• Payment management: Add payments to Parent companies and apply them directly to child customer invoices
• Parent company statements: Generate customer statements at the parent company level for better financial oversight (thanks for the suggestion Breww community!)
• Credit limits: Set credit limits not only for child customers but also for parent companies themselves (thanks for the suggestion Breww community!)
• Order blocking: You can now block orders for all customers under a parent company
• Task management: You can now assign tasks and record activities on parent companies (thanks for the suggestion Breww community!)
• Sales visits: Parent companies can now be added to sales visits

Breaking API Changes

As part of these updates, there are breaking changes to the API that you should be aware of:

• The customer-groups endpoint has been removed.
• Parent Companies are now found in the customers-suppliers endpoint.
• If you've stored an old Customer group ID, you can find the new corresponding Parent company by querying the parent_company_data -> old_customer_group_id field on the Parent company.

If your integration relied on the old customer-groups endpoint, you’ll need to update your API usage to ensure continued functionality.
