What's New?
Bill of Materials’ Units of Sale
Product supplier users will now be required to enter the sales units per secondary and tertiary packs in their Bills of Materials, as part of their ‘Complete Bill of Materials’ task. This is so that we can create accurate reporting and calculate the total units of sale and tonnage for our users.
Bills of Materials will now include the fields ‘Sale units per secondary’ and ‘Secondary packs per tertiary’, which will need to be completed before submitting a BOM for approval.
In the ‘Secondary components’ section, you will see the ‘Sale units per secondary’ field. On this field product suppliers will enter the number of sale units (SKUs) per secondary pack. For example, how many products you have per case.
In the ‘Tertiary components’ section, you will see the ‘Secondary packs per tertiary’ field. On this field product suppliers will enter the number of secondary packs per tertiary. For example, how many cases you have per pallet.
Once a value has been entered for both the ‘Sale units per secondary’ and ‘Secondary packs per tertiary’, e-halo will automatically calculate the ‘Sale units per tertiary’ by multiplying the ‘Sale units per secondary’ by the ‘Secondary packs per tertiary’ values.
‘Sale units per tertiary’ is the number of sale units (SKUs) per tertiary. For example, the number of SKUs you have per pallet.
For more information on how to complete these new fields or what to do when your Bill of Materials doesn’t have secondary or tertiary components, please visit the Adding 'Units of Sale' to a Bill of Materials user guide.
Bill of Materials – ‘Quantity’ column help text
We have updated the help text of the quantity columns of the Bill of Materials page, so that they are clearer and specific to each type of component (primary, secondary, or tertiary).
As part of the new help text, we have also added a ‘View help’ hyperlink, clicking on this button will direct users to the ‘Adding component 'Quantity' to a Bill of Materials’ user guide.
For more information on component’s quantity in a Bill of Materials, please visit the Adding component 'Quantity' to a Bill of Materials user guide.
Landing page
Following user feedback, we have amended the initial e-halo landing page for product and packaging supplier users.
When a product or a packaging supplier user log into e-halo, they will land on their Task Hub.
There will be no change to retailer users, they will land on their Product Hub, as per the current behaviour.
Approve Bill of Materials Task – Verdict modal is wider
Following user feedback, we have made the verdict modal in the ‘Approve Bill of Materials’ task wider, for ease of use:
Compliance Tab – Display up to 6 Flags
Following user feedback, we had amended the compliance tab of the Components and Bills of Materials so that up to 6 recyclability flags are displayed before the list of counties needs to be expanded.
Updates and Bug Fixes:
- Fixed the issue where a Bill of Materials’ sets weren’t being copied across when selecting the option ‘Copy and amend from an existing Bill of Materials’ in the ‘Create Bill of Materials’ task.
- Fixed the issue where the product name wasn’t being displayed in the Tasks Hub for ‘Complete Component’ tasks of existing components linked to a new Bill of Materials.
- Sorting has been added to the columns in the Brief Hub
- Fixed the issue where a new product supplier was not showing on the Product Details page until after the ‘Complete Bill of Materials’ task was finished. The product supplier is now displayed as soon as a brief is created.
- Fixed the issue where the task email for ‘Confirm Bill of Material Link’ tasks was displaying the retailer name instead of the product supplier name, on the product supplier field
- Fixed the issue where the Bill of Materials tab of the Product details page was showing an incorrect number of ‘active’ Bills of Materials on the top stats
- Fixed the issue were the ‘upload technical component’ button appeared ‘active’ after a component had already been confirmed, even though documents cannot be added after a component has been confirmed
