Version Updates
Current Version
v. 3.0.34
Release Notes Release Date: August 9, 2023
A new global project setting has been introduced called Default Price Zone within a project. This allows you to set a default price zone value at the project level and have it automatically assign the correct List Price to any new product you add to the project.
When you specify a product within the KITS Mobile app it will automatically specify the List Price for the defaulted Price Zone assigned within your Project Settings. You can overwrite the defaulted price zone value at any time during the Add/Edit Item or the Configure Prices functions.
For those manufacturers that do not support Price Zones, the List Price will default to the current live List Price found in the catalog. For those manufacturers that may not support the default Price Zone value, KITS will assign the Price Zone 1 List Price. For example, Kimball International supports 6 price zones whereas HON only supports 5 price zones. If your project setting is set to a Default Price Zone of 6 and you add a HON product to the project, the assigned List Price for the product will default to Price Zone 1.
If you change the Default Price Zone setting to another value after you have inserted the product into the project, all those previous products will not be changed to the new default price zone. You will have to perform the global Configure Prices function within List View to make the appropriate changes.
Minor Improvements:
– Minor bug fixes.
