Update 1251 23 July 2025	New Purchase Order System Now Live The HOPS Purchase Orders system has been comprehensively overhauled. There should be only minor changes to functionality, such as bug fixes. If you find any issues please let us know. * The Purchase Orders pages have been re-written into New HOPS, giving a better UI and better operation on phones and narrow screens. * There are no new or changed permissions, but permissions are now slightly more diligently/logically applied where they previously weren't. The result of this will be some users no longer able to do some things and will need permissions allocated, but there are not any cases where users will be able to do things they previously could not. * Updating the 'flags' now takes place in a popup without the need to load a separate page. Permissions to update flags are now diligently applied: Mark Goods received (P176), Invoice Received (P182), Paid (P174), Statement (P172). * Three tabs have been provided: "Purchase Orders", "My CC Approvals" (P171), "My FD Approvals" (P192). Under the Purchase Orders tabs are lists of POs including All Open POs, My Open POs, All Closed POs, My Closed POs, Deliveries Expected (P172), Awaiting Payment (P173) and Forced Closed (P260). These behave in the same way as in the old system. The My CC [Cost Centre] Approvals tab contains a list of PO Line Items that require the user's approval (or have already been approved). This is only displayed to users with P171. The My FD [Finance Director] Approvals tab contains a list of POs that require the user's approval (or have already been approved) because they meet the threshold for FD approval. This is only displayed to users with P192. * A new "Stock Location" field has been provided for users of HOPS Retail Systems to indicate the location (eg shop/cafe branch) that the stock is to be added to the stock total for when it arrives. An interface is not yet provided to create Stock Locations, please contact us for assistance with this. There are some outstanding issues which will be resolved tomorrow (24/07/25): - "My CC Approvals" and "My FD Approvals" tabs are showing too many POs. This will be filtered down to only POs awaiting the user's approval, and POs approved by the user. - Some column widths are not formatted correctly - Some pages are slightly slow to load. We will try to improve this. We will be on standby in HOPS HQ on Thursday morning (24 July) for any issues arising. Please let us know via the support ticket mechanism if you have any problems, or via phone to HOPS HQ on 0118 321 8752 if urgent. Thank you.
