This update includes bug fixes. 1.9.0 08/06/2018 Additional Features and Bug Fixes 1.8.0 06/29/2018 Bug Fixes 1.7.0 05/03/2018 This new version has problem resolutions only 1.6.0 03/07/2018 The new version 1.5 contains these enhancements.

Organization and asset location are initially selectable.
After signing in, you identify the initial organization and the asset location whose data you wish to use. You can then proceed to work with par groups, deliveries, a physical inventory, or a pick – whatever you planned to do.
------To filter by organization: Enter an organization ID into the Search window.
------To filter by asset location: For the organization of interest, select the asset location.

Only the organizations and asset locations specified in your User Profile are available.

This enhancement is designed to improve process efficiency for users of the mobile application.

Important::
This enhancement is a change from previous behavior. Before this release, the organization and asset location were set to the defaults when you signed in to the mobile application. With this release, you must identify the organization/asset location that you initially wish to work with. Of course, you can subsequently change to another organization/asset location.

The item MIN (manufacturer item number) is now displayed on picks.
The MIN appears on the upper right of the pick screen.
-----If an item has multiple MINs for the same Vendor Item Number (VIN), the default is the primary MIN.
-----A MIN is truncated if it is too long for the display space.
-----When an item has no MIN (rarely), the display space is blank.

When item descriptions are similar, it is easy to select the wrong item in a pick. Displaying the MIN on a pick screen will provide more information so that users can better differentiate items.

This release update also includes problem resolutions. 1.5.0 02/01/2018 The new version 1.4.6 resolves the following problems:
- iPad Delivery Confirmation errors were occurring on the server. Errors were occurring during transfer processing of iPad deliveries to the ERP server’s Delivery Confirmation list. This problem was traced to an internal field length, and is resolved.
- Several problems occurred with deliveries recorded on the iPad not being synced with the ERP on the server. These problems are fixed.
- Users trying to look up an item by the secondary MIN/VIN on the iPad could not find the correct ERP item number. The problem occurred because only one item vendor record was being synced from the server to the iPad. This problem has been fixed. Users can now look up an item by any MIN/VIN or other field that is currently searchable on the iPad. The lookup works for secondary item vendor records as well as records for the primary vendor. When the lookup finds the correct item, the transaction proceeds as normal.
- For iPad issues, the wrong item number was appearing when searching for a MIN or scanning a barcode. This problem was traced to the existence of multiple item vendor records, and has been resolved. 1.4.6 09/29/2017 The new version 1.4.2 resolves the following problems:
