What’s Changing?
Fourth’s Purchasing & Inventory release 4.6.91 includes new functionality. Specifically:
Release Date: 8th (EMEA) / 11th April (USA) 2019
Reason for the Change
In the event that a Quotation is generated without errors but with mismatched or unquoted items, the user will be given the option to open the Quotation Errors page.
Decimal field types for custom POS fields allow users to input more accurate values.
Error messages raised when using the Punchout functionality previously did not display information that was helpful for the user.
In the event that a Delivery Note or Invoice for Multiple Outlet Order is received in the system, a message will be automatically forwarded to the Mobile Receiving app. The total received amount will be allocated to each outlet based on the ordered amounts and any outstanding amount will be added to the first outlet.
Closing inactive Purchasing & Inventory clients when launching a new instance of the app, means that no extra resources will be taken up on users' PCs.
cXML invoicing allows vendors who provide Punchout web sites to transmit invoices for such orders electronically.
Customers Affected
All Purchasing & Inventory users.

If a cXML Invoice is loaded in the system (but receiving is not submitted), the received quantity is evenly distributed between the 3 outlets based on the ordered quantity. Any outstanding amount is added to the first outlet.
If the received quantity in this example is 5, the amounts will be distributed as follows:
