- “Packaging approvals” are now “Pre-packaging approvals,” as they occur before packaging. You can now also configure “Post-packaging approvals” (ideal for QC checks).
- You can choose whether to do packaging approvals on a one-per-batch basis (as they have been up to now) or one-per-planned-packaging (ideal if they need to be done once per day that you package, for example).
- If you do them on a one-per-planned-packaging basis, you can have different packaging approval templates for different container types (varying the checks when canning vs kegging).
- There’s a new “Packaging” tab on the recently updated production dashboard to give you an overview of today’s planned packaging, and those coming up soon.
