What's New in Zoho Inventory - December 2022
Hello customers,
This month, we've added new statuses for shipments, shipment tracking in the Client Portal, the ability to invoice your customers in multiple currencies, and more. Let's take a look at all the updates made to Zoho Inventory.
Introducing Zoho Inventory for Mexico
We're excited to announce the launch of the Mexico edition as the 15th edition of Zoho Inventory. After you create an organization with Mexico as your business location, you'll be able to create transactions that are in compliance with Mexican VAT. To learn more about this edition of Zoho Inventory and what it has to offer, visit the home page.
Advanced Multi-currency Handling
Elite and Ultimate plan users of Zoho Inventory can now create transactions for their customers in any currency! When you create a transaction in a different currency for a customer, Zoho Inventory will fetch the current exchange rate and apply it to your transaction automatically. To learn more about Advanced Multi-currency Handling, read our help document.
More statuses for shipments
We've added more statuses to the shipments module to help you track your shipments efficiently. Now, shipment statuses are split into two status groups: Shipped and Delivered. Each status group will have multiple statuses to inform the customer about the precise status of their shipment.
To apply a status to a shipment, go to the Shipments module, select a shipment, click the dropdown next to Mark as Delivered, and select Update Shipment Status.
Track shipments from the Client Portal
Your customers can now track their packages from their portal using the tracking link. They can also view a timeline that shows the status of a shipment since its creation.
Edit non-mandatory fields in transactions pushed to the Invoice Registration Portal (IRP)
You can now choose if you want to edit certain optional fields in transactions that were already pushed to the Invoice Registration Portal (IRP). However, if you enable this preference and make edits to a pushed transaction in Zoho Inventory, that transaction will not be in sync with the ones in the IRP.
Improvements to UPS integration
UPS provides certain forms for customs clearance purposes. With this update, Zoho Inventory will now auto-attach these forms with the respective shipment as a document when you generate shipping labels for it.
