FuturNX version 1.116.0 has been released

A number of improvements have been made to work orders, the work order list, the work calendar and sales in FuturNX. Service books and service reminders are included as a new view. The changes come into use with the update.

Work order

✔Warning about an open work order. When you create a work order for a vehicle, FuturNX tells you if the same vehicle already has open work orders and shows their numbers. The warning does not prevent creating a new work order, but helps avoid duplicate work orders.

✔Correction of work times. On the Work times tab you can correct the start time, end time and mechanic of a recorded work time. A wrong or forgotten time stamp no longer needs to be corrected in Futur. Editing is available to users who have the right to modify work times. Work times of an invoiced work order cannot be edited.

✔Time registration with a work code. When you start time registration, you can simultaneously select a work code and edit the row title. The work row is created on the work order at the same time, so it does not need to be added separately first. Works in FuturNX and Futurmechanic.

✔Registration date and engine code. The vehicle's first registration date and engine code appear in the vehicle details of the work order in FuturNX and Futurmechanic. The mechanic finds them during the work, for example for emissions measurement.

✔Vehicle notes stand out. When a vehicle has notes, the work order shows it clearly so that a note is not overlooked.

✔Favourite products. Your own favourite products appear when you add products to a work order, and a favourite can be turned into a row with a single action. The favourites are the same as in cash sales.

✔Prices without VAT. The prices and totals of work order rows can be shown without VAT. FuturNX remembers your choice, so the tax-free price for a business customer does not need to be calculated by hand.

Work order list

✔The list remembers the filter. The work order list opens with the filter you selected last. The selection is also retained after re-logging in, and the default settings can be restored with a single action.

✔The list updates itself. The list updates while it is open, and it can also be updated manually. Filters, sorting and scroll position remain unchanged, and for example status changes made in Futur appear without reloading the browser.

Work calendar

✔Bookings coloured by work order status. A calendar booking is coloured entirely according to the work order status, as in Futur. You can see at a glance how far the work has progressed.

✔Work order directly from a booking. From the booking menu you can create a work order from the booking. The work order receives the booking's customer, vehicle, mechanic, time and description, and the booking is linked to it automatically.

Service books and service reminders

FuturNX has a new view for managing service books and service reminders.

✔Service book from a work order. Brand-specific links are saved in service books, so the correct service book opens directly from the work order.

✔Service reminders under control. Reminders can be browsed and filtered, acknowledged and marked as offered to the customer. Service types are managed in their own view.

✔Notice when creating a work order. When you create a work order for a vehicle with unacknowledged service reminders, FuturNX tells you about it.

Other improvements

✔Editing work discounts. In the Work discounts view, an existing discount can be edited, and each work can be given its own value. Duplicate discounts are warned about, and VAT 0 prices are possible.

✔Resending an invoice. From the sales list (Events → Sales) you can preview an invoice or reminder letter and send it to the customer again by email. This helps when a customer asks for a copy of an invoice.

✔The browser tab tells the view. The tab title shows the name of the open view, for example "Work order 12345 | Futursoft". When FuturNX is open in several tabs, the right one is found quickly.
