What's new in version 6.0.03r1
General
Improved Multi-Screen Support with Reset Shortcut
When working with multiple screens, the screen coordinates are saved in a specific folder to ensure consistent layout positioning.
However, switching back to a single screen can lead to display issues.
From now on, you can press Ctrl + Shift + R on Windows or Cmd + Shift + R on macOS in the login screen to clear the saved screen settings. This allows MultiPress to start up in its default single-screen configuration.
CRM
Optional Surcharge Per Product Type Can Now Be Disabled Per Customer
In MultiPress, you can define an additional surcharge per product type.
As of now, it’s also possible to disable this surcharge at the customer level.
Automatically Include Contacts in Offer, Order or Invoice Emails
Under Relations, in the Contacts tab Other, you’ll now find three additional checkboxes. These allow you to indicate that a specific contact should automatically receive a copy of the quote, order confirmation, or invoice whenever one of these documents is sent to the customer.
Text Layouts
Set Default CC or BCC Recipients for Outgoing Emails
In the email configuration settings, you can now define a default CC or BCC recipient for outgoing emails.
This can be a freely chosen email address or one of the internal contacts, such as the sales representative, estimator, or order manager.
Pulldown lists
Global Rename Option for Shipping Methods
When logged in as a system administrator, changing the name of a shipping method now triggers a prompt asking whether you want to apply this change throughout the entire database, including historical records.
This method works similarly to the renumbering function in the settings.
Calculations
Board Thickness Now Included in Hardcover Layout Calculation
When calculating a hardcover book, and using trimming to include front and back board thickness, this thickness will now be taken into account in the layout calculation.
The unfolded sheet now correctly reflects the total thickness, including the board, as this is essential for accurate production planning.
Spine Thickness Now Drives Layout and Page Count Based on Actual Paper Thickness
The spine thickness calculated via the wizard now directly determines the unfolded sheet layout and page count.
This calculation is based on the actual paper thickness, including the cover boards (as mentioned in a related update).
Important: this automation only applies if the page count remains untouched. If you manually adjust the page count, the system will revert to the old method using paper classes.
Automatic Signature Splitting into Smaller Formats Now Supported
When duplicating a signature, you can now automatically split it into smaller signature sizes.
The system can now combine sizes like 64, 32, 16, 8, and 4 pages, allowing for a total of up to 124 pages per folded section.
Grain Direction Arrows Now Include Orientation Labels
Wherever a grain direction arrow is shown on the layout—based on the press sheet arrangement—we now also display a label indicating the orientation: L for long grain or S for short grain.
Projects
Bulk Edit Delivery Addresses Across Project Lines
When selecting multiple lines under the Delivery Addresses tab in a project, you can now right-click to modify the details in bulk.
The changes will immediately be applied to each corresponding individual order.
Print Single Job Sheets for All Orders in a Project
Via the Print button in a project, you can now choose to print the single job sheet version (your preferred layout) for all jobs included in the project.
Import Multiple Orders into a Project with Suborder Selection
When importing orders into a project, you can now enable multi-selection.
This means that for each selected order, an intermediate screen will appear allowing you to choose the correct suborder.
Shipping
Search Now Targets the Actual Customer Linked to the Order
Previously, the search function under the Search button would not filter by the actual customer linked to the order—it only searched based on the main relation of a delivery address.
This has now been corrected: the search now properly targets the customer the order was created for.
POD Signatures from TransSmart Now Added to Delivery Note
When a carrier works with TransSmart and uses a Proof of Delivery (POD) system, MultiPress can now import the POD signature via the API.
The signature is automatically inserted into the designated area of the delivery note. This feature works both through manual status retrieval and automated action.
Full testing is only possible in the customer’s environment.
Finance
Automatic Invoice Discount Now Also Applies to Delivery Note Invoicing
If a customer has been set to receive an automatic invoice discount, this will now also be applied when creating an invoice based on delivery notes.
Extended Handling of Incoming Purchase Invoices via Peppol
Several improvements have been made to the handling of incoming purchase invoices via Peppol:
- On the customer level (Price Agreements tab), a new setting allows you to define how invoices from this relation should be handled: either processed in MultiPress or forwarded to an email address.
- In the Peppol connection settings, you can now specify the email address where incoming invoices should be sent if forwarding is chosen.
- When an invoice arrives, the system will either process or forward it based on this configuration.
If an invoice is received from an unknown relation, a selection menu appears:
- Stop processing
- Create a new relation (with optional processing setting)
- Link the invoice to an existing relation
MultiPress Cloud
PDF Preview Icon for Quote Letters Now Available in Cloud Licence
In the cloud licence, after generating a PDF—such as a quote letter—an icon now appears, allowing you to reopen the PDF afterwards at any time.
API
New REST Endpoint to Modify Price Agreements in Calculations and Orders
As of this version, it is now possible to modify price agreements directly within a calculation or order.
A new REST endpoint called HandleFixPrices has been created, allowing you to retrieve, insert, and update these price agreements.
