Notes can now be added to uploaded files
We've added the ability to add notes to uploaded files in most places in Breww. Simply upload the file as usual and then click the edit button (pencil icon) to update the notes.
Option to value your finished goods at sale price (instead of cost)
You can now choose how Breww values your finished goods (packaged beer) in your stock valuations. Head to Reporting → Stock valuations → Valuation settings and pick from:
- Cost (the default) - values packaged beer at its production cost, just as before.
- Sale price (new) - values each product at its sale price from a price book, so your stock valuation reflects what your beer is worth to sell rather than what it cost to make.
Choose a specific price book, or leave it blank to use your default price book each time a valuation runs. Your valuation report shows which method and price book were used.
This setting affects finished goods only - WIP beer, serving batches, stock items, and ingredient batches are always valued at cost. For more information, see the updated Stock Valuations help guide.
A smoother way to add products to orders
We've streamlined adding products to an order, making it quicker to find, select and price up items as you build a draft order. It quicker than ever to enter common quantities and if adding multiple items at once, you can go directly back to the "Product finder" in the same state (i.e. same search results) as when the first product was added.
Merge duplicate products
You can now merge duplicate products together from Actions → Merge duplicate products, on any product page, combining their stock, sales and history into one. This works for accidentally created duplicates, as well as for tidying up products that should have been set up as aliases or as derived-at-packaging products of each other.
Is today's brew on track? Now you can tell at a glance!
Catch process inconsistencies early, make better in-the-moment decisions, and keep your batches in spec - without flipping back through old brew sheets. Readings on your brew sheet (gravity, pH, temperature, and more) now show a sparkline of the same measurement from up to your 10 most recent batches of that beer, with today's value highlighted alongside the target line and your red/amber/green threshold bands. Hover any point to see which batch it came from, how long ago, and the exact value. It appears automatically wherever a reading has a target and input variable set, and updates live as you save!
Vessel names moved below new visual icon
To ensure that vessel names don't cover important vessel fill information, they have been moved below the vessel visual. If you've drawn a custom floorplan already (using the recently released new feature) and have vessels positioned vertically very close to each other, you might need to move them on the floorplan as they now take up slightly more space - sorry about this! We expect that the vast majority of users won't have to touch their floorplans, and if you haven't yet drawn a custom floorplan, you don't need to do anything either!
Default sales forecast for product page graphs
You can now choose a saved sales forecast to power the stock availability forecast graph shown on every smallpack single, keg, and cask product page.
Head to Settings → Product settings → General product settings and pick a forecast from the new Default sales forecast drop-down. Once set, each product's graph will use that forecast's figures instead of Breww's automatic average-sales method, and the caption under the graph will show which forecast is driving the numbers.
Create invoice and customer/account payments using the REST API
You can now use the API to create payments directly on invoices or add payments to customer accounts.
