Official announcement: Deprecation of METAL Theme in R2

We would like to inform you that the METAL theme will be deprecated starting from version 06.24.09 of the R2 platform.

Effective Date: Beginning with version 06.24.09, the METAL theme will no longer be supported.

Impact on Existing Configurations: For users still utilizing the METAL theme, the system will automatically switch to our new Contemporary theme upon upgrading to version 06.24.09 or later.

Reason for Deprecation: The METAL theme is a legacy feature that is no longer compatible with modern Java versions and updated UI libraries. Its continued use limits potential UI enhancements in R2. This change is necessary to ensure future advancements and a more enriched user experience.

Labor

Feature Changes:

  1. Weblinks in Planning Order. (R2-22665)

    We have introduced a way to add ‘Weblinks’ in R2Labor Planning Order. Also, mark it as shareable with the concerned resource (through E-mail).

This is an extension of the feature we had rolled out in 06.24.06-00 version for R2.

Until now adding ‘Weblinks’ was allowed only within R2. But, any ‘Weblinks’ added in the R2 > Accounts > Order > Labor Tab would not be visible in R2Labor. With this feature you can add Weblinks both in R2 and R2 Labor.

  1. Manage Purchase Order for Labor Bookings. (R2-22608)

    Through this enhancement we are bringing an automated process to create a Purchase Order, whenever the status for a Booking Line in R2 Labor > Planning Order changes to “Confirmed”. Also, with this enhancement, the Purchase Order number will be displayed in a column (PO ID) for the specific the Booking Line.
    Lastly, when a ‘Confirmed’ line is modified or deleted, the associated Purchase Order will be voided automatically, and a related comment will be added to the PO Change History.

    1. Auto Create PO when any Labor Booking line gets confirmed. (R2-22656)

    2. New column in the Labor Booking Line to display the generated PO ID. (R2-22657)

    3. Search for Planning Order using Purchase Order ID. (R2-22659)

    4. Sharing the PO# to concerned resource via Email/Message. (R2-20660)

    5. Auto Void the existing PO, when related Labor Booking line is modified. (R2-22661).

Please reach out to our Sales team at sales@unibiz.com to request a demo of this feature.

  1. Labor has a new Navigation Menu. (R2-22586)

    Now that Business Rules Engine has become an autonomous entity, it has been bestowed with its own Navigation Menu. And that’s why, the existing Menu for R2Labor has been improvised and modified to incorporate this change. Shown below is a representation of the new Navigation Menu for R2Labor.

Bug Fixes

Bugs Fixed in this release

  1. SR-18607 — Duplicate entries shown on Affected Orders window, if the inflicting Order has the product on multiple lines.

  2. SR-19387 — Down Arrow key does not work as expected for the ‘Show suggestion’ feature for R2Web.

  4. SR-20937 — The system allowed non-serial Items to be moved across sites using Inventory Transfer Orders, even when the scanned stock was unavailable. This led to discrepancies between the owned and total stock across sites.

  15. SR-21976 — For an Order whose Pay At Rent/Return, the Order Type should remain as Reservation when the order contains only the marked as Deleted lines, but it changes to Sign Off.
