Landed Profit
Landed Profit displays on a new Tab with Profit based upon Landed Cost (LC Profit). This works like the Profit tab, that you can change the Profit or Percentage (Profit %) on an item and it will change the Price for you.
Landed Built
Landed Built sets Landed Cost for Built items using the total of the Landed Costs of their components. Otherwise, Landed Percentage is used to update the Landed Cost.
To use this setting, ensure components have Landed Costs and restart the Server to load new settings. You can then use Update Cost to update landed costs.
Prorated Pricing
Prorated Pricing lets you buy a new version at a discount to keep up with subscribers.
Subscription lets you keep current, getting a new version first. Perpetual licensing lets you keep the same version indefinitely and save in software and hardware replacement.
But what if you just bought a perpetual license and a new version drops? It's free for 90 days and after half a year it is still half of upgrade price which is 70% off of new.
Fast Networking
Fast Networking is laying the groundwork for the next generation of Client connection.
Local Queue
Local Queue keeps a list of changes that follow from an entry you are making in Client.
If you are creating an invoice this may need to update inventory and accounting, asap. To keep your data perfect, this is handled as a transaction, which saves all or nothing.
If you cancel, or if you computer crashes, nothing is saved and your data is unchanged. If you save, you need to allow a minute for updates to upload to be able to quit Client.
Super-Turbo Settings
Super-Turbo Settings lets you accelerate inventory updates to your costs and margins.
Changing a price on PO will prompt the question, Would you like to update the Cost? Changing a cost for a component may then change the cost of 1000 built items, or kits.
Super-Turbo Settings in Company card, Advanced Controls let you choose the cutoff. Enter 1000 and check the box for Super-Turbo and this job will be escalated to Server.
Super-Turbo Mode
Super-Turbo boosts inventory to handle instant cost updates across thousands of kits.
Big Business uses a new purchase to update Cost, Landed Cost, and Margins for kits.
Tax Holiday
Tax Holidays help consumers by waiving sales tax on items purchased during the time.
BigBusiness lets you skip sales tax on items, if allowed, by clicking the Tax checkbox. Line items on invoices are taxed when the Tax checkbox is checked and not taxed if not.
Unchecking the Tax checkbox for items exempted during a tax holiday changes Taxable Subtotal which changes built-in Sales Taxes as well as Lookups for TaxJar or AvaTax.
Ecwid Token
Ecwid Tokens are used to authenticate requests to your web store from Big Business.
Recently, Ecwid changed the submission process to send Tokens to improve security. This means the old process silently fails and Settings, Test returns, Unable to Connect.
BigBusiness has updated to meet new requirements and you can simply update to fix. Existing tokens can be used with an update to BigBusiness, or get new if you prefer.
Trial Guide
Trial Guide helps you choose Free Tier or Trial Code options for Company Upgrade.
Free Tier is a new option to try services like AI that provide a no-charge option to try. Click the Free Tier button in Company Upgrade and BigBusiness will let you connect.
Trial is a classic option to run a Service or Connect for trial period by entering a Code.
Free Tier
Free Tier lets you experiment with Gemini API without any upfront costs. To match, BigBusiness adds a Free Tier button in the Registration for the Gemini Connect plugin.
Using Gemini's paid tiers requires user access control to avoid accidental cost overruns. Free Tier limits usage for testing and BigBusiness enables Free Tier for a year at a time.
BigBusiness will add controls for access to paid-tier API Keys as Google recommends.
