Now that we have our media guru on board we’re going to make a bigger effort to be transparent about what we do everyday. In that vein, we’ll be posting blog updates each time we release an update so you can see what we’ve fixed, improved and added to MerchantOS.

While we haven’t had anyone ask, we want to clarify that our release names come from a source that we felt would likely be inexhaustible – Kevin Bacon movie titles. We’ll make sure to provide a brief synopsis of each movie we highlight in our release names from here out and we hope you’ll join us in cheering on Kevin’s great work.

This week we released our latest update “White Water Summer” – a collection of fairly minor (but perhaps vexing) fixes and improvements:

• Customer email addresses, phone numbers, and postal addresses weren’t showing up in work orders. Now they do.
• When exporting items from a purchase order to Excel/CSV the columns were botched after the first row. We fixed the underlying bug so that they export correctly now.
• Inventory logs, under “Reports,” now shows the change in unit cost (only if a change was made to the unit cost of course).
• The customer display properly reflects discounts applied to items via Price Rules.
• The sale value of your inventory is added to our inventory assets reports. You can now see how much you could make if you sold all that inventory.
• When using Mercury for credit card processing, American Express cards were incorrectly identified. Their payment type was instead stored as Visa. We’ve fixed it so AMEX transactions are assigned the correct payment type.
