  2. Inventory Items – assign Inventory items to Warehouse / Distributor by Category.
    ->now, inventory items can be added to distributors and warehouses by inventory category
    -> the inventory setup process is faster
    -> creating a new inventory item is, by default, assigned to the default warehouse (default assignments)STEP1: First, add inventory category

STEP2: Assign to Distributors by category:

2. Add inventory categories

Note ! If there’s a Default Distributor – All Items are assigned to it by default.

4. Paypal wristband support added.
-> In order to use this payment method, same rules apply as when setting up Braintree for credit card usage
-> Gateway credentials must be configured or in case of Sandbox, Braintree must be chosen. There are no further steps necessary

5. Connect > Inventory > True Up Count
-> True Up Count screen allows the user to enter in the quantities of any unit (Purchase/Inventory/Sales).
-> Then, the screen calculates the total quantity based on the conversion factors set up on the item.
-> The Purchase Unit, Inventory Unit and Sales Unit fields are editable. The Total (in Inventory Units) shows the sum.
Example:
Item = Wine Bottles
Purchase Unit = Case (CS)
Inventory Unit = Bottle (BTL), 12 BTL per CS
Sales Unit = Glass (GLS), 5 GLS per BTL
If conversions are missing, assume 1
User enters:
Purchase Unit = 17
Inventory Unit = 31
Sales Unit = 10
TOTAL (calculated) = (17*12) + 31 + (10/5) = 237
