Tracking Keg Rotations & Returned Kegs on delivery app

[tim-longstaff]

Hi,

2 requests rolled into one.

When an invoice is singed for by the customer, is it possible to add a box to manually write number of empty kegs collected that is then marked on the invoice (eg 5 kegs collected).

That helps cover any discrepancies when kegs are returned using the credit note system (although hopefully it’ll soon be possible to return kegs on the invoice for more simplicity)

Then once kegs are scanned back into the brewery, is it possible to set an alert if a keg has done more than a certain number of rotations? For example, we often pull kegs after 10 rotations to do a deep clean on them/inspect the spear etc? Or is it possible to create a report to see number of keg rotations? At least when we scan a keg back in the brewery, if it flashes up that it has done more than our target of rotations, we can put it to one side immediately.

Thanks
Tim

I bet you could do the first thing with a custom template for your invoices.
The second, there’s this FR:

Thanks for the suggestions, Tim.

We’re actually expecting to release Return container deposits on the invoice being delivered quite soon, so to be honest, I don’t think it makes sense to dedicate any time to a temporary work around.

I think this might be a great simple solution to the keg cleaning/maintenance problem, which seemes to be surprisingly difficult to know how best to solve. I think it would be best to have that conversation on the other thread that Jon has link to too, if that’s ok?

In light of this, I think we should close this thread (sorry!) as we probably don’t need the temporary work around and can cover keg cleaning on the other thread dedicated to it. If you disagree and think we need to keep this thread open, please let me know.
Cheers.
