PantryEasy Admin Portal

Inventory Management at Multiple Locations

We’re excited to announce a major PantryEasy update that will go live tonight at 8:00 PM CST. This release brings a significant enhancement to inventory management by enabling tracking of products across multiple locations.

What’s New:

Multi-Location Inventory:
Previously, you could only track a single inventory number per product. Now, you can designate one or more locations as inventory points and assign specific products to each.
Automatic Setup:
Your primary location will automatically become an inventory location, and all current product inventory will be assigned to it. If you manage additional locations, they will connect to your primary location for inventory purposes, ensuring that your clients continue to shop as usual.
Training Resource:
We’ve prepared a short training video that explains the updates to the Locations, Products, and Inventory screens in the admin portal.

These screens were modified to support tracking inventory at multiple locations:

Location
Product
Inventory
Transfer Inventory
Multiple Reports

New Filtering capabilities

Additional filters were added to the Products and Locations screens. These filters help find products and locations by multiple types of statuses and dietary information.

Edit Distribution Schedule fixes

An investigation of a UI ticket led to the discovery that when the Distribution Setup (DistributionScheduleDefinition) record is inactivated, the logic will also delete all distribution (DistributionSchedule) records that were created based on the DistributionScheduleDefinition record. If clients have already started placing orders on the linked distributions, this will cause a Foreign Key error. The delete function has been improved so that it no longer throws an error.

A second issue was discovered where turned off the Active flag on a distribution schedule would not actually deactivate the schedule. This was also fixed.

Distribution Start Time fix

The Order Confirmation and Order Cancellation emails both show the date and time of a the distribution. If a Location has distributions on multiple days of the week, sometimes the incorrect time of day was displayed in these emails.

Client Registration Form enhancement

Some pantries use a single computer to help multiple clients register on their shopping site. This can happen when registering clients in the pantry or at a neighborhood site where multiple clients are located. They let a client enter their information into the registration form and submit the form. Then they log that user out and go back to the Client Registration screen to start registering the next client.

The client registration form does not clear data from the fields when a registration is complete. So the next user sees personal registration info about the first user. Then they have to delete that info and enter their own info. The registration form will now clear all data automatically after the form is submitted
