A Little Operational Elegance from Helm

This release, Helm quietly tightens a few loose threads while adding some rather useful superpowers around logging, printing, and plugins: fewer surprises; clearer histories; smoother shifts on the warehouse floor.

Enhancement Highlights: stability with manners

Stock integrity; rules that speak your language; imports that know when to behave; and locations that refuse to contradict themselves.

🪄 Refinements to Your Operational Backbone:

Stock Takes that respect reality

Stock Take Jobs now work only with valid inventories; entries linked to non‑existing items are no longer surfaced. Counting, reconciling, and reporting are therefore grounded in your actual stock picture rather than theoretical ghosts.

Secondary SKUs that respond properly

Secondary SKUs can now be updated consistently via both the API and the UI. Your catalogue maintenance becomes smoother; your integrations more predictable; and your data hygiene less reliant on workarounds.

Purchase Order Imports with sturdier footing

The Purchase Order Import process has been rewritten to handle edge cases with more grace. Imports that previously stumbled now complete cleanly; purchasing teams gain a more reliable path from spreadsheets to structured orders.

Suggested Purchase Orders that stay current

Suggested Purchase Orders now consider only active inventories. Archived and deleted items are politely excluded; planning therefore aligns with what you can actually sell and stock, not historical artefacts.

Order Rules in your internal dialect

Order Rules can now be defined using internal inventory names rather than display names alone. This aligns configuration with the naming conventions your teams use operationally; less translation; fewer mismatches; more faithful automation.

Location updates with proper discipline

Critical validation around updating location data has been reinforced. Previously bypassable checks now apply consistently; your locations remain coherent, auditable, and trustworthy across teams and time.

✨ New capabilities: visibility; traceability; smoother flows

More of your operational story is now captured, logged, and completed for you in the background, with a nod to compliance and a bow to your daily workflows.

Sales Channels with a clear audit trail

All Sales Channel actions are now logged: create; update; delete. These events can be reviewed under System Logs; giving you a precise history for governance, troubleshooting, and internal controls without additional admin.

Commercial Invoices that appear right on cue

Auto‑printing for Commercial Invoices is now available. Once a valid A4 printer is selected, commercial invoices print automatically at the packing terminal when orders are shipped; despatch teams gain consistent paperwork with fewer clicks and fewer forgotten pages.

You can enable this under: Sales Channel → Commercial Invoice → Auto Print Invoice at Terminal.

Tote Picking that resumes gracefully

If a picker steps away mid‑tote due to inactivity, breaks, or device battery loss, they can now continue where they left off. This keeps picking sessions flowing, reduces repetition, and softens the impact of everyday interruptions.

Batch inventory for Bundles and Kits

Assembly and Kitting now support batch inventory items. You can select and process existing batches or create new batches for produced inventory; supporting traceability, quality control, and regulatory comfort for more complex products.

🔌 Plugins: Sharper Tools for Tailored Operations

Plugins continue to evolve to match the shape of your warehouses and workflows: more flexible dashboards; quieter printers; better‑behaved terminals.

Custom Dashboard Picking rebuilt for control and speed

The Custom Dashboard Picking plugin has been rebuilt from scratch. With significant performance optimisations applied, teams see only what they need, where they need it, at a pace that keeps picking work moving.

You can now:
• define multiple dashboards with distinct profiles
• configure tiles and access per profile
• filter profiles by warehouse

Multi Pick Pack Terminal with silent invoice support

A new setting has been added to the Multi Pick Pack Terminal to complement auto commercial invoice printing. When enabled, and with an additional invoice printer configured, commercial invoices can automatically print during Multi Pick Pack terminal sessions whenever the sales channel is also set up; terminals, printers, and channels act in concert rather than in isolation.

You can enable this under: Settings → Silent Invoice Printing.

A small release; a gentler experience

Every adjustment in this version is designed to spare your team unnecessary friction: inventories are cleaner; histories are clearer; paperwork is more dependable; and plugins are tuned to your particular stage. As always, the refinements are for you: so your operations can feel composed, compliant, and quietly confident, even on the busiest of days.
