14 January 2014 - Weekly Patch H462

In this patch we have included updates to Analytics, Open Orders, Scripting and our integrations with Big Commerce, eBay, Magento and Priceminister.
Primarily these are intended to address issues affecting a small number of customers, and in the case of BigCommerce to allow access to additional information
The update to eBay should resolve some issues in which newly created listings are missing from Linnworks both after sync and in the mapping tool after refresh.

We would also like to introduce support for eBay Managed Returns within the Linnworks' Returns functionality. Additional information is linked below.
Module Title Description
Analytics
Series Axis Columns
Series axis columns have had a minimum size set as the autosize property forces them to shrink beyond recovery when screen size is small. 
Commondata SetFulfilmentCenter. Order Item Location Not Set When using the commondata method order.SetFulfilmentCenter, the order location was set, but the orderItem locations were not. This caused the items to not be counted as inOrderBook for the location 
Open Orders Item Sorting

Items in the open orders screen are now correctly sorted in order of

  1. The number of items in the order.
  2. The selected sort. e.g. SKU / Bin Rack
  3. The quantity in the order.

http://www.linnworks.com/Doc/Order_Book_Settings#1.ItemSorting

Filters Potential overstocking and overstocking indicators were showing if greater than the required stock percentage exists, but nothing was being shown if the percentage value was exactly equal to the required stock percentage for these filters.
     
Big Commerce  Product Options  Product options will now show display_value 
eBay GetListings Call The Get Listings call was starting at page 0 rather than page 1. This call uses a index starting at one meaning that linnworks was missing the last page
