Breww now integrates with Fortnox! Breww is now integrated with eleven different accounting platforms, with more to come soon.

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.

I'm delighted to confirm that write capabilities have been added to the API for Customers & Orders (including Order Lines and Order Adjustments Lines). For full documentation, please see the Breww API docs.

It's now possible to enable balance sheet syncing on Breww's Xero and Quickbooks integrations!

When enabled, Breww will move costs through your accounts in your accountancy software as they move through the production and sales processes in Breww. This means your COGS and balance sheet in Xero or Quickbooks are always up to date without any extra manual work.

To learn more, please see the guide: https://docs.breww.com/balance-sheet-syncing.

We've overhauled the stock move tool on the mobile app to be easier to use and also allow the movement of smallpack. Please keep an eye out for the latest app update, which should be available on the iOS App Store and Google Play Store in the next few days (once approved by Apple/Google).

We're delighted to announce a much-awaited update to allow stock transfer orders to be completed without raising an invoice. Please see this community post for more on this change and how to take advantage of it. Thank you to everyone who voted for this feature request on our community and helped us to make this a reality.

In addition to having a billing address and a delivery address, you can now add as many addresses as you require to a customer! To read more about how to manage multiple addresses on a customer and how to use them, please read our help guide here.

Thank you to everyone in our amazing community who voted and provided your feedback to help make this feature happen!

The app has received a major update over the last couple of weeks, with another major improvement to the barcode scanner functionality being released this morning! Scanning should be faster and more accurate/reliable than ever before, especially in low-light situations or with poorly printed/damaged barcodes. Please make sure you've installed the latest version (v2.1.1) to take advantage of the improvements.
