Overview

It’s really nice to see how the development of metasfresh has evolved in the past few weeks.
The very busy time previous to our metasfresh WebUI major Release 5.0, developed with React/ Redux WebUI, the development was very well characterized by stabilising and finishing a lot of different things, in the User Interface and Rest-API Projects, most of them essential parts for our our Go-Live of the new Web Interface.

Now, the current development is again focused on the implementation of new features in the back-end. Currently, the new major functionalities that will come soon are a new RMA and disposal workflow and a completely new developed manufacturing functionality with async BOM explosion and material candidates. Stay tuned for those, they are planned for the first Release in beginning of May.

This Release 5.5 has a few new features. The new sidelist is now the home for all record relevant dependencies and is now quickly available with 1 keystroke for efficient navigation. Further on we have included another set of windows into the WebUI which are now available and ready to use.

To all Contributors „Thank you very much! You’ve done an amazing effort again.“
