Building upon our previous enhancements to inventory management and reporting capabilities, we have added Part Description as an optional column to the following places:

  1. Part Description in Buyer Group: Inventory Receipt Custom Email: With Propago’s Custom Emails module, you can utilize various tags to shape the content of system emails. We’ve now added the Part Description tag to the Buyer Group: Inventory Receipt Report Custom Email options. This enhancement enables you to include detailed part descriptions in your automated inventory receipt notifications, ensuring recipients have comprehensive information at a glance.
  2. Part Description Column in Front-End Inventory Management Page: Understanding the importance of detailed inventory views, we’ve added Part Description as an available column in the front-end Inventory Management Page. This addition allows users to view descriptions directly within the inventory interface, expanding the versatility and usability of this front-end management page.

These enhancements complement our recent efforts to integrate Part Descriptions throughout the Propago platform:

  • Add to Cart Pop-Up Modals: A new display option, Checkout.PartDescription, allows product descriptions to appear in the pop-up modal when users add items to their cart. This provides immediate context without requiring additional clicks.
  • Order Details Pages: With the OrderDetail.PartDescription display option, product descriptions can now be shown inline with each product in order details pages. This aids approvers and users in quickly understanding the specifics of each item in an order.

Benefits to the Client

  • Platform Consistency: With Part Descriptions now available at more touchpoints—inventory and order management becomes more intuitive and streamlined for everyone.
  • Improved Communication: Include detailed part information in custom email notifications, ensuring buyers and stakeholders always have the context they need.
  • Faster Decision-Making: Quickly view part details in the front-end Inventory Management Page and order details screens, helping teams act faster and with greater confidence.
