The following changes have been made to the Authenticate platform

Product Supply Chains


We have added the ability to update the name/reference of a supplier's raw material


Users will require the 'Supply Chain Approval' role to edit these details.

When edited, changes are applied to the raw material and any associated product links and specification requests

*** Please note: this will not affect the name/reference on your supplier's own product if they have accepted a link ***




Automatically Update Finished Products Details


If a user edits the name of their own product, and they have any linked supplier products with the exact same name and reference, then the raw material name/reference on your supply chain will be updated (as described above)

This is to allow finished products to keep the same details if links are sent and then the name/reference changes.

Updates will only apply where the name/reference is exactly the same as the user's product (before editing).


Specifications


When creating a Specification template, there is now a new section for 'Customer Details' within the 'Product Information' area, which can be included when creating a specification template.

The customer details section allows users to enter the name of one or more customers a product is supplied to and may be used when a specification is created by a third party

When a new version of a specification is created, any customer information will be stored to allow 'searching' of specification versions from the specification search page
