v2.5.0 Latest 28 April 2026

Granular damage capture, scrollytelling marketing, and a global portal search

Receiving

  • Edit form on a Current Skid box now matches the initial scan UI: granular Damaged / Missing / Good unit inputs per line, with auto-recalculating totals on every keystroke.
  • Skid row visibly reflects damage: alert-red card background and per-line "N good / M" chips when a box has any damage or missing units.
  • Inbound tab ETA now uses the most up-to-date date available — pickup completion → scheduled pickup → estimated arrival → flight + 8 days — instead of always reading the stale wizard-time estimate.
  • Variant dropdown in the edit row stays inside the container even with long product names.

Production & Stamps

  • Production allocation (getShipmentAvailable, getShipmentTotalRemaining, getShipmentStampableRemaining) now respects per-box goodQty instead of raw packing-list quantity. Damaged and missing units no longer over-allocate stamps.
  • Customer portal inventory mirrors the same calculation — customers can no longer request a PO for damaged units.
  • Truck capacity capped at 12 skids (down from 13) per pickup trip — the warning toast and capacity calculator follow.

Customer Portal

  • New global search bar in the topbar — searches the customer's own shipments by AWB / supplier / status and production orders by PO number / linked AWB. Click a result to open it.
  • Portal sidebar carries a build-version chip so you can verify exactly what build is running.

Compliance & Reporting

  • NOA upload modal auto-fills the Schedule Pickup Date as Arrival + 1 day, and updates live if you change the arrival date.
  • All calendar tiles and event pills are now read-only across Dashboard, Shipping, Logistics, Production and Outbound — the calendar shows what's happening, dedicated module pages do the navigation.

Fixes

  • Damage report save no longer leaves the Logistics inbound view stale — re-renders whichever host container is currently mounted.
  • Receiving edit form clobbered the "Good units" display on row 0 when launching the edit (brittle div:last-child selector replaced with an explicit id).
  • Section render errors no longer take down the whole app — the Router now renders an inline error placeholder per section (admin + portal).
  • Cache-busted all <script src> and <link href> tags in index.html and portal.html so a Cmd-Shift-R always reaches your users.
v2.4.0 21 April 2026

Damage report split + alert-red flagging across the warehouse pipeline

Receiving / Logistics

  • Damage report on inbound shipments now offers three independent actions — Tag Box, Photo, Upload — instead of bundling box-tagging into the photo upload flow.
  • New "Tagged boxes" list above the photo gallery, with per-row Untag and a Confirm-all button.

Design

  • Sidebar version chip introduced — at-a-glance way to identify exactly which build a tester is running.
  • All red circular warning badges (sidebar nav, top-bar bell, stamp-orders pending) now use flexbox centering — text sits visually centered regardless of font.
v2.3.2 Patch 14 April 2026

Phase logic consolidated, error boundaries on render

Fixes

  • Shipment phase definitions consolidated in helpers.js as SHIPMENT_PHASES, eliminating drift between the admin and portal phase-bar implementations.
  • Router now wraps section-render handlers in try/catch — a single bad shipment can no longer take the whole app down. Portal inherits the same protection.
v2.3.0 02 April 2026

Customer Portal — production order request flow

Customer Portal

  • Customers can now submit production order requests directly from the portal — pick a shipment, allocate quantities by region (Federal, Ontario, Quebec, Alberta, Manitoba), and choose a production date with a calendar slot picker.
  • Drag-and-drop sequencing for stamping order across regions inside a single PO request.
  • "Urgent" toggle promotes the PO to the top of the next available production day, with admin notification.

Sub-accounts

  • Primary consignee account holders can now create sub-accounts for their team with granular per-section permissions (shipments, inventory, orders, reports, settings).
v2.2.0 17 March 2026

Outbound & Logistics module split

Outbound

  • Auto-generated outbounds from completed production orders, grouped by consignee.
  • Loading checklist with per-skid verification, BOL and packing-list PDF generation in one click.
  • Multi-stop dispatch support for routes hitting multiple retailers in one truck.

Logistics

  • Unified Logistics module with three tabs: Inbound (delegates to Shipping's pickup view), In-Transit, Outbound. Single calendar covering both sides of the warehouse.
v2.1.0 24 February 2026

Production scheduling, stamp ledger, batch IDs

Production

  • Drag-and-drop production sequencing across weekday slots with daily capacity caps.
  • Auto-overflow handling — if a PO exceeds a single day's cap, EMS splits it across consecutive days automatically.
  • Verification step before completion — actual scanned count vs estimate, with a stamp-count adjustment.

Stamp Orders

  • New module: incoming stamp inventory by region (any region you add), with approval workflow and request submission.

Batch IDs (optional module)

  • Per-PO + flavour + region batch IDs for unit-level traceability. Toggle on in Settings.
v2.0.0 06 January 2026

Multi-tenant rewrite — receiving, storage, customer portal

Highlights

  • Complete rewrite around a multi-tenant data model — every box carries its consignee from intake.
  • Six-zone warehouse layout (A–D, F, H) with auto-suggested slot assignments and a colour-coded occupancy grid.
  • Customer self-service portal launched: real-time shipment tracking, inventory view, dispatch view, scoped per consignee.
  • Cross-tab live sync — admin and portal stay in lockstep through the browser storage event.
  • IndexedDB-backed blob store for PDF and image attachments (NOA, damage photos), with metadata in localStorage.
