Application Events – New List
The Application Events list has a new look and feel. We’ve shifted over to AgGrid for application events to provide a consistent look and feel with our other dashboards – Sampling, Recommendations, Zones, etc.
Price Approval Exception Workflows
Recommendations, Orders, and Quotes
All Regions
Until now, users have not been able to order crop protection products that fall below the floor price due to this restriction. There is now a requirement to change this to allow users to submit a price approval request for these products. The request will be logged in the MS Dynamics platform, where the salesperson will submit it for approval to the district managers. If the leaders approve the price, users can place an order at that new price. This workflow will help us maintain improved pricing discipline to support our margins and, at the same time, will allow the sales team the discretion to approve certain prices below the floor price when necessary.
How to use this feature:
- Enter the desired price that is lower than the Floor value in a recommendation, order, or quote:
- You will see a popup confirming the price to submit where you will have to select a salesperson and a Var reason from the dropdown menus and click submit:
- You will see a confirmation message indicating that the price exception request has been sent, along with a label in the product section showing the requested price.
- You will see the Floor price selected by default in Next while the appropriate parties review the price request. Approvers will review the request and will approve or reject it via MS Dynamics.
- You must save the recommendation, order, or quote as a Draft while the price request is approved or rejected.
- If you submit the recommendation, order, or quote before approval, the Floor value will be sent to JDE to price the product.
- You will receive an email notification once the price is approved in MS Dynamics. Furthermore, you need to reopen the recommendation, order, or quote and click on Edit to choose the new pricing agreement from the Price dropdown. It takes 10 to 15 minutes after a price is approved for the pricing agreement to appear in the system.
- After the new price agreement is selected, you can submit your recommendation, order, or quote.
Automated trap integration with FMC
With this release, we will be integrating with our automated traps partner FMC through APIs to get the automated traps data. Once the automated traps are installed in the fields and entered into FMC’s Arc system, those traps will automatically be fetched through APIs into AgVerdict and mapped to the respective already existing traps in AgVerdict. This will establish a 1-1 link between each trap in AgVerdict and the automated trap in FMC’s Arc system. We will also start importing daily any trap counts captured through the automated camera traps.
We are working on displaying the 7-day cumulated trap counts currently and that should become available and visible soon in a subsequent release in AgVerdict web and AgVerdict Next app.
Angular Upgrade
There has been a backend update of AgVerdict to the next version. This has been done to improve performance and the maintainability of the platform.
Addressed Issues
- Fixed issue for custom blends in orders where the correct UOM isn’t available for selection without opening and resaving the blend. This is now working as expecting.
