3.0

REST API support is here

      With the addition of REST API several features have become simpler, for instance you will now be able to directly connect to your HansaWorld server and import data into flex.bi completely eliminating the need to manually export registers, just hand flex.bi a URL to your HansaWorld server and it will do the rest. Before you even confirm your first import you will be able to set and freely configure the automatic imports schedule and change it when ever you wish. REST API currently supports importing data for Invoices, Quotations, Sales Orders and Financials cubes. It is now available for the users with the flex.bi "Standard" or "Business" packages and a HansaWorld Standard ERP version 8.1 2015-06-02 or higher.

An updated Stock cube

      To help you keep a better track of what is coming and going through your warehouses, the flex.bi team has implemented support for item history. You will now be able to see how much of your items have come and gone, where they have come from, where they have gone to and have they been sold, bought, written off as damaged, lost, are they in transit or are they being used on the production line to create something new and unique.

Goods Receipts cube

     It has never been easier to keep track of what has arrived in your warehouses until now. The freshly created Goods Receipts cube will help you analyze what kind of items have arrived at your doorstep and which supplier delivered them, what amount and at what cost.

Stock Depreciation cube

     Now you are able to have a clean overview of your depreciation of stock, of the items you have withdrawn for internal use and the stock you have written off all in one cube - the Stock Depreciation cube. Analyze the data by the reasons of why your item has found its way into stock depreciation and examine the lost quantities and monetary value of those items.

Stock Movements cube

      Ever been curious where your stock travels to? Well now you can find out with our new Stock Movements cube. This cube allows you to view and analyze where your items have traveled from, where they have traveled to and what stops they had along the way, let's not forget that you can also see the quantities and costs of the items that are traveling from location to location.  

New sample reports

      We have added a few new sample reports from our templates database to the standard sample reports that can give you an example on which you can build your own reports or modify the sample ones to your needs. The new additions include CRM reports that allow you to view customer value, a comparison with previous periods and how much time each sales person spends on a customer.  Two Financial reports that allow you to analyze data by account type and analyze profit loss in a period. And a whole bevy of Invoice reports that show sales KPIs in a period, item turnovers, the top salesman on your team, general item statistics, the most profitable items and a report for salesman targets.

Updates

    • Customer category names will now appear by their name
    • Support for registers that contain a sequence number has been added

General bug fixes

      • Fixed a bug where activity types were importing incorrectly
      • Fixed a bug where projects where importing incorrectly

2.0

The possibility to use parallel imports 

            To ensure that your data is kept up to date as fast and as often as possible, our team has implemented multi-thread support for your data import needs. With the option to add additional parallel threads to increase importing speed by up to 50%, you can now import all of your files even faster. Not only is it available in the data cubes we have been providing you since version 1.0, but also in the newly created Job costing and CRM cubes that allow you to handle data about your projects and activities.

Newly implemented CRM cube

            The CRM cube allows you to handle data that is connected with projects, activities, people and companies that you deal with on a daily basis. It allows you to analyse activities per customers, sales staff etc. which in turn makes it possible to display the sales efforts and the results of your workforce. By analysing your customers you can pinpoint which of them are the most important so you can focus on them and their needs. 

            By popular demand we have implemented a feature that allows you to import OK’d and un-OK’d activities and implemented measures that allow them to be sorted by their counts and durations. The customer dimension has also received a slight update with two new measures that allow customers to be sorted by their creation and update dates.

Freshly designed Job costing cube

            The job costing cube presents you with the option to display and analyse project budgets and expenses by using most of the data located in other HansaWorld data cubes to present an easily viewable and understandable graph or table for you and your workforce.

Template database

Our team has also created a Template database that you can use as inspiration when creating your own reports. The database contains:

    • Downloadable report examples for SalesFinancial and CRM data
    • Instructions and manuals on how to set up more complex reports
    • An overview with answers to the most frequently asked question

Updates

Of course we haven’t forgotten about our previous work and the improvements that can always be made, so we have added a few updates and bugfixes to our previous HansaWorld data cubes

The Sales cube

            The sales cube has received a number of updates including a new register that allows the user to build dashboards that not only show the sales amounts but also the open to-date balances per customer, customer group, sales person or any other available dimension thanks to the addition of the ArVc register.

            An additional measure from the Quotations cube has been added to allow the user to view the whole sales pipeline in a single report – starting from quoted amounts and ending with made sales and open balances. With this new measure its possible to measure conversion rates, efficiency of sales staff or item groups.

            It is also worth mentioning that Invoices and Orders whose prices or amounts are empty will not be imported.

General bug fixes

    • Fixed a bug where Customer Class was not working in the Sales cube

    • Fixed a bug where an “Invalid date” error was thrown, because of the wrong date seperator

    • Fixed a bug where imported dashboard templates would return an error

    • Changed overlapping default measures names to fix measure sharing

    • Fixed a bug where Invoice measures are not removed for the same invoice if it is coming from multiple files

    • Fixed a bug that caused the enable_item_class parameter to not work properly
