#abcp_crm

Customers can now be found by TIN and manager comment.
The counter of the number of missed calls in the control panel is now located in the header on the right side instead of being a menu item.
In the customer search field, those customers whose orders were viewed through the search field have also been added to the list of the history of open customer data cards. Moreover, now it is possible to go to a customer’s order from the customer search history by order number.
The search field and the customer search mechanism in the control panel header have been redesigned. New attributes for customer search have been added, and the display of search results has been made clearer and easier to understand.
Import of clients has been simplified, previously a password was required for each client, now it is not required. If there is no password in the file with information for import, it is created automatically.

#abcp_API

A field for selecting WhatsApp parameters has been added to GET cp/users and POST cp/user operation models — enableWhatsapp.
In the response of GET /cp/distributors operation, the description field is now taken from its own description — DistributorInfoOnReseller.description.

#abcp_site

#abcp_order

The “Related products” and “Upsale-catalog” have been added as sources of adding to the cart.

#abcp_catalog

Now brands can be filtered (searched) in the product group catalogs not only by brand name, but also by transliteration or alias.
Customization of the brands list in each catalog has also been redesigned and made more convenient. In addition to the existing sorting by popularity, alphabetical sorting has been added. Your own sorting can also be made (as it was before, by dragging and dropping brands in the list), inclusion of all brands has been simplified.
The setup form for any catalog has been made more intuitive, settings have been grouped by meaning, and more logic has been added when selecting possible values for catalog settings.
Filtering of selection results is now available in all catalogs. It works only in the modes of displaying with assessment and displaying of offers (i.e. when all articles are assessed with suppliers, prices and terms are calculated and the results are displayed on several pages).
When selecting in catalogs under an employee account, a quick switch of the catalog mode has been added to the filtering of selection results by term and availability.
For the batteries catalog it is no longer important in what order to specify width and depth when selecting and entering values into filters. Previously, due to different use of width and depth values by manufacturers, it was necessary to check the selection results twice, by width-depth and depth-width, now the catalog does it automatically.
The ability to search values for criteria (filter-attributes) that contain a large number of values was previously announced. Now quick search and filtering are also available in the list of models for one brand. The list of models of one brand is enabled by a separate “Enable additional filter by models of one brand” setting and it allows you to give an opportunity to select models in case you or your customer is looking for offers of one brand. For example, a specific model of one oil manufacturer can be quickly chosen and then articles available for ordering can be seen in the catalog.
In all product group catalogs, the ability to specify priority brands has been added. Brand items that are specified as priority brands in the settings will be displayed in the catalog above the offers for other brands.
The “Search: Own warehouses” setting now also works in product group catalogs. Offers from your own stock will be displayed above the offers of third-party warehouses and partners.
In catalogs of the price list type, the article has been wrapped with a link to the search.
New catalogs have been added to product group catalogs (89 catalogs in total):

axes;
hammers;
load forks.
