Update
Accurate shipping currency for purchase orders
When shipping costs are saved in purchase orders, the vendor’s currency remains the same and is not converted to local currency. This means purchase orders from international vendors remain accurate and your shipping costs are calculated correctly.

Updates to the new location setup
After creating a new location for your shop, the page redirects to show that new shop. This makes setting up a new location more efficient and eliminates confusion during setup.
Update
Register switching enhancement
Ensure users are logged into the correct location and keep inventory, sales, and reporting accurate with register lock on devices and browsers. Set a device lock that won’t expire to ensure that device stays mapped to a specific location.
Update
Accurate item inventory history
On an item’s history, links to sales, transfers, vendor return, and counts in the source column correctly redirect to the corresponding page. This means you’ll be able to find the information you need efficiently.

Added security eliminates the risk of Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks and gives you peace of mind that your account and settings are secure.
