Release Notes Statement

New functionality added to Mosaic is controlled by feature flags to ensure readiness prior to use in production environments. Throughout release notes the phrase “If enabled” is used to designate capabilities that may be turned on or off. Such options may be released for a limited audience or dependent upon additional updates. These options will still be referenced in release notes to make clients aware of all new application capabilities. 

Accounting

In the previous release, Mosaic included data updates to support accounting ledgers. This release expands on that effort to support more user flexibility. While the functional changes listed do not have substantial impact to Mosaic menus and screens, these updates are integral to support forthcoming Accounts Payable and Stock Ledger capabilities.

Store Setup - If Accounting is enabled, the Administrator > Store Setup screen now includes an ‘Accounting’ tab. This tab includes values that influence accounting behavior such as Fiscal year start and enabling General Ledger numbers.

Main Menu - If Accounting is enabled, a new left menu option ‘Accounting’ will appear between Web Admin and Administrator. This menu includes submenus as described below.

Invoice Adjustment Reasons - A new data table and user interface was create to manage Invoice Adjustment Reasons. If Accounting is enabled, users may access Accounting > Invoice Adjust Reasons to define store-specific Invoice adjustment types. Previous adjustments supported within Mosaic appear by default.

Stock on Hand Adjustment Reasons - A new data table and user interface was create to manage Stock Adjustment Reasons. If Accounting is enabled, users may access Accounting > Stock Adjust Reasons to define store-specific Stock on Hand adjustment types. Previous adjustments supported within Mosaic appear by default.

Physical Inventory

UI updates - The Edit Physical Inventory screen has been improved to provide better clarity to users. Changes include:

Variant values 1 and 2 are include in product descriptions.
Delete options are clarified. The top of the screen shows ‘Delete Fixture’ and warns users that the action will removed the fixture and may delete multiple entries. In fixture details, ‘Delete Product(s)’ is used to remove selected product(s) from the scanned codes while maintaining all other fixture settings and entries.
To simplify lookup, Scan Code entry product search now has default pagination of 100 records per page.
When entering scan codes in batch from search or line by line, the process now autosaves entries. The scan qty may appear as 0 if a batch of products was selected from search, but the list of products will be saved regardless.
A ‘Print Fixture’ button has been added for fixture auditing (see below).

Print Fixture - This new button generates a print/search ready html page of the fixture details as saved in Mosaic. Users may take advantage of the browser find feature to search fixture contents on screen, or one may use browser print to generate printed pages or save PDF versions of physical count entries by fixture.

Product Maintenance

Stock on Hand Edit - When an application user selects to ‘Edit’ product stock on hand, Mosaic now presents Reasons from the Stock on Hand adjustments table. This table will include all reasons previously available in Mosaic along with store-defined adjustment reasons that were added via the Accounting menu. (See Accounting > Stock on Hand Adjustment Reasons above.)

Reports

Transaction Search Export Details CSV - This export has been adjusted to ensure consistency with the Export Details PDF and Transaction View. Specific changes include:

Selling price is the retail selling price at the time of the transaction.
Discounts are differentiated as 3 separated columns for LineDiscount, TransDiscount, and SalesEventDiscount.
Discounts are signed the opposite from prices (- for sales discounts / + for refund discounts).
Discounts applied as a result of AR DCC rules are captured as LineDiscount.
Transaction Discounts are distributed by line as captured in the transaction.
Sales Event Discounts are distributed by line as captured in the transaction.

Web Order Processing

SensePass - Mosaic now supports SensePass tokens when processing payments. If a PrismWeb order is placed using integrated SensePass payments, that order may now be worked and processed on Mosaic just like other integrated charge processing.

Miscellaneous Enhancements & Bug fixes

AR Customers - In AR account details > Customers tab, pagination now performs as expected. Previously the ‘Show’ qty and number of display pages was not aligned. The default per page value is 100 customers.

Course Requests - When editing course requests, user may now delete a SKU even if it is on an open purchase order. Users will be presented a relevant error message and are responsible to confirm if purchase order adjustments are required. Before, Mosaic did not allow removal of a SKU from the course request if it was on any open purchase order

Order Decisions - An error that occurred during Work Order Decisions for course requests with digital content adopted was resolved. Previously, Mosaic presented a red failure error for any order decision that included adopted digital content.

Web Orders log - To assist with support, web order packets are now logged as they are captured by Mosaic. This log is not visible to Mosaic application users but may be examined by PrismRBS support resources.
