  1. Removal of the automatic delivery fee feature

    1. The system will no longer automatically add a 50 delivery fee for orders created undera certain dollar amount.

  2. Scan-in History Redesign

    1. Scan-in History has been redesigned to allow for the saving of PO#’s with each item scanned in. This change will also make it easier to verify product invoices made by the manufacturers.

  5. Recommended Price feature Improved

    1. When writing a quote for a customer the recommended price information will now be disguised with a hover-over feature. The recommended price will no longer show directly on the order for anyone to see.
