March 23, 2022 Mosaic Release Notes

Release notes statement 

New functionality added to Mosaic, may or may not be immediately available to all clients depending on functional readiness or licensing. Throughout release notes the phrase “If enabled” is used to designate capabilities that may be turned on or off. Such options may be available to a limited audience or hidden until a future update. These options will still be referenced in release notes to make clients aware of complete application capabilities. 

Accounts Receivable

Transaction Export - Mosaic application users may now export the transaction list as it appears under the AR-Transactions tab in Mosaic (IE with search, filters, sort applied). The export included shown values as a csv export file.

Course Materials

Order Decisions – The order decision filters now remove duplicate values. Prior to this release multiple records for the same instructor or course department caused the filters to list the same values repeatedly. This has been corrected, so filters are easier to see and search.

Order Decisions – If the same ISBN is used for multiple courses, the Order Decision now updates status via a single review. Previously, Order Decisions required the user to step through the same title multiple times even though the ISBN had already been worked.

Course Requests – The course request filters now remove duplicate values. Prior to this release multiple records for the same instructor or course department caused the filters to list the same values repeatedly. This has been corrected, so filters are easier to see and search.

Multistore (new development in progress)

If enable, a multistore location selector will appear in Mosaic. As beginning of forthcoming multistore management, a Mosaic tenant may now be configured to support more than one store/location. Upon supporting more than one locations, Mosaic will present users with a location selector to determine which location data they are managing.

Product Maintenance

The product search results now include On-order quantities. This addition is intended to help identify active products among search results. The On Order amount is also included in product detail screens for GM and Book products. Previously, On Order was only visible for books.

Reports

Inventory Not Counted report – The Inventory Not Counted report now excludes items with zero stock on hand when requested. In prior releases, this reported printed all items despite a request to exclude zero SOH. This was previously addressed on the Total Inventory Value report.

Date Selectors – The unexpected inclusion or exclusion of data based on the date selectors for reports has been corrected. Mosaic now accurately presents data that is aligned with selected start/end dates.

Returns/Credit Requests

Edit Credit Request – This screen has been improved to be more consistent with other Mosaic presentation. Including clarifying section and column headers and relocation of action buttons.

Add Product(s) from Invoices – This action button shows Step 1/Step 2 processes to clarify the workflow for adding products to a credit request.
