Improvements to fireTMS: enhancement of charge editing, development of the AI assistant and other new features

In this article we describe the new features recently introduced to fireTMS:

Automatic recalculation and price control when editing subloads 

In the latest version of fireTMS, we have introduced improvements to the editing of subload prices that significantly improve working convenience and billing accuracy. A new feature is the dedicated editing window, which allows simultaneous management of the values of all the subloads in one place. An automatic recalculation function is available for two subloads – when one value is changed, the other is calculated automatically. In the case of a larger number of sub-loads, the user has to complete the values for the other items himself.

In addition, the system automatically checks whether the sum of the prices of the subloads corresponds to the value of the main load. In the event of a discrepancy – when the sum is higher or lower than the price of the main load – a warning message appears and an additional window asks the user to confirm saving the changes.

To ensure consistent and correct billing, we have also introduced a currency compatibility requirement: the currency of all subloads must be the same as the currency of the main load, thus avoiding billing errors.

Ability to add files to AI assistant by selecting from disk

We have provided a feature in the AI interface that allows files to be added by selecting them from the computer disk. The user can now easily attach a document without having to drag it into the application window (without using drag & drop). 

Change in the presentation of the payment deadline on the debit note printout

We have made a change to the presentation of the due date on the debit note printout to provide greater clarity and to make it easier for recipients of the document to correctly interpret the entries. If the system is able to calculate the payment date unambiguously – for example, if the due date is calculated from the document issue date – a specific, full date will be presented on the printout.

When the calculation of the payment deadline is based on the date of receipt of the document (which is often not known at the time of issuing the note), a descriptive note, e.g. 14 Days / Document receipt, will appear instead of a specific date. Analogous to the invoices, we have also added the addition of 'Days’ in the text version to make the method of calculating the due date even clearer.

Change in the way currencies are added to a branch

The final change is a new way of assigning available currencies to branches (Configuration >> Branches (edit selected branch) >> field Available currencies). From now on, the user can use a clear dropdown list that contains all available currencies. Simply click the dropdown box and then select the relevant items from the list. The new mechanism not only speeds up and simplifies the account configuration process, but also minimises the risk of errors by enabling easier viewing and selection of preferred currency designations.
