Workflows Now Includes a New Look and Security Role!
The My Workflows window shows off a new look as well as the ability to view the invoice attachment alongside each invoice as it is being reviewed.
In addition to this, the new Secondary Security role of Prohibit Viewing Upcoming Approvals will remove the User's 'Upcoming' tab on My Workflows, ultimately restricting their ability to view any upcoming transactions until they are ready to be reviewed.
Reduce Errors by Inactivating Locations
Users can now be restricted from selecting inactive Locations on AR Transactions. This setting can be updated from the 'Status' tab of the Location record, which will then gray out inactive Locations when entering AR Transactions. Click here to learn how to inactivate a Location.
Refresh Custom Financial Reports with the Click of a Button

Inventory Costs calculated using Weighted Average
By pulling Unit of Measure into the calculation, you are able to see the per-unit-cost of the item rather than just calculating the average amount of an item for a more accurate Inventory Cost.
Simply set the 'Cost Update Method' on the 'Purchasing' tab of the Purchased Item record to the desired calculation. See supporting documentation.
Track overtime in R365 rather than your POS with Overtime Tracking!
All Overtime Rules created in R365 based on your Organization's and/or State's overtime criteria can be applied to each Location's Labor data once it's pulled in with the Daily Sales each night.
To set this up, ensure to choose 'R365 OT Rules' as the 'Overtime Tracking' option on the 'POS Integration Settings' tab of each Location record. See supporting documentation.
Advanced Close: Provide entry access to select Users
You can set fiscal periods and/or modules to 'Limited', allowing only Users with the new 'Access Limited Periods' Secondary Security Role the ability to edit and enter transactions when set to 'Limited'.
This provides some added guardrails for transaction entry without your Admin User having to manually go in and open/close periods or modules each time a transaction needs to be edited or entered.
