What's New
Version 1.3.0
Release Date: June 10, 2026
- 🚀 Manufacturing Quantities: See how many units of each product you can build right now from on-hand materials, with a per-ingredient BOM breakdown and bottleneck flags so you know exactly what’s limiting production. Works on Inventory, the Manufacturing Orders list, and Product cards — and you can create a manufacturing order straight from the results.
- 🚀 Bin Location Import: Bulk-update bin locations from a spreadsheet. Export the current bin assignments for a location, edit them offline (duplicate a row to split a SKU across bins), and import to create the bin transfers. Missing bins are created automatically, and it’s batch- and serial-number aware.
- 🔧 AI Order Import: Now also available on the Quotes list page, not just Sales Orders.
- 🔧 Customer Reference Search: This is now a native Katana feature — enable it under Settings → Labs. The tool stays available but will no longer be updated.
- 🔧 Reliable right after updates: Page-specific tools (PO Discount, PO Price Lookup, and others) now work immediately after the extension updates — no need to reload your Katana tab first.
Version 1.2.0
Release Date: June 5, 2026
- 🚀 PO Discount: Apply percentage or flat-dollar discounts across a purchase order’s pending rows — with a live per-row preview, an audit note written to the PO’s Additional info, and an optional reason. Flat amounts distribute proportionally to row value and land exact to the penny.
- 🔧 Tool Library refresh: Cleaner header, taller cards with page chips on their own line, settings open automatically on expand, a Katana badge on tool authors (“Katana Employee” on hover), and the version number now comes straight from the manifest.
- 🔧 Advanced section: Power-user tools now live in a collapsed “Advanced” category. Webhook Buttons moved there and is opt-in for new installs.
- 🔧 Smarter page refresh: Tools refresh the exact Katana tab they worked on — even with navigation lock active. If that tab was closed, you get a success toast instead of a surprise reload.
- 🔧 Quieter updates: Silenced harmless console errors that could appear in open Katana tabs after extension updates.
Version 1.1.0
Release Date: May 21, 2026
- 🚀 PO Price Lookup: Look up last/average purchase price, price history, and current stock for every SKU on a PO — directly from the Purchase Order detail page. Includes a one-click “Update PO row” action.
- 🔧 Persistent Lock: Lock icon in the side panel header. When active, navigating between Katana tabs no longer changes the panel’s context — useful when working across pages while keeping a reference view pinned.
- 🔧 Library Card improvements: Each tool in the tool list now shows which Katana page(s) it activates on, with a
+Noverflow badge revealing additional pages on hover. - 🔧 Refresh API: Tools can now trigger a smooth page reload with a toast message (e.g. “PO Updated — refreshing…”) instead of asking users to refresh manually.
- 🔧 Webhook Buttons: Tool card no longer appears when no buttons have been saved yet.
Version 1.0.0
Release Date: April 28, 2026
- 🚀 Webhook Buttons: Create custom action buttons that fire webhooks from Sales Order, MO, PO, Product, Material, Customer, and Supplier detail pages.
- 🚀 Customer Reference Search: Search all sales orders by customer reference number from the Sales Orders list.
- 🚀 AI Order Import: Upload a PDF or CSV and AI extracts the line items and creates a Sales Order in Katana.
- 🚀 Email Templates: Save reusable email templates and inject them into Katana’s email composer with one click.
