# Marlin 5.1.10

**Marlin Tyre and Mechanical Workshop Software** release notes for version **5.1.10**. **Released:** 20/11/2024

### Automatic Follow-Ups

**BLUE-7859 - Customer Orders:** Simplified follow-ups creation and added automatic notification functionality. **BLUE-7494 - Business Planner:** Added Follow-Ups tab to Add Booking/Enquiry window.

In addition to regular follow-up reminders, **automatic follow-up messages** can now be scheduled and sent directly to customers, via SMS or email, to remind them of additional services due.

Automatic follow-ups can be turned on by enabling the **Followup.EnableNotifications** enterprise Setting.

Once enabled, separate customer message templates for automated **email** and **SMS** follow-ups can be set using the **Followup.Notification.sms** and **Followup.Notification.email** enterprise settings.

See the [Automatic Follow-Ups](/workshop/docs/automatic-follow-ups) help guide for further details.

### Enhanced Stocktake Sorting

**BLUE-8028 - Stocktake:** Enhanced stocktake to allow better sorting options.

**Item field** columns can now be [added to and used to sort](/workshop/docs/configuring-columns) stocktake lists, which will also determine the order items appear on printed tally sheet.

The way the columns are sorted now also determines the order they appear in on printed **tally sheets**.

          Example

          

To create a stocktake tally sheet that is **sorted by size**:

- Add an **Item Field/Size** column to the stocktake list,
- **Sort** the stocktake item list by the new Size column,
- then **Print**.

See the [Stocktakes](/workshop/docs/stocktakes) help guide for further details.

### Clearer Promotion Visibility

**BLUE-5097 - Item Explorer:** Highlight Promotional Items in Item Explorer. **BLUE-8086 - Menu:** Repositioned Promotions module in menus.

The Promotions Master File menu has been moved to **Master Files > Items > Promotions**, to make it easier to locate.

Promotional items are now also highlighted in green in the Item Explorer to help better support supplier and customer orders.

See the [Promotions](/workshop/docs/promotions) help guide for further details.

### Relaxed Notification Reminders

**BLUE-7962 - Business Planner:** Added Disable for This Booking checkbox for booking notifications.

Notification reminders can now be disabled for individual bookings, by ticking the new **Disable for this Booking** checkbox in the Booking Notifications pop-up window.

This will also prevent the pop-up from opening again, if the booking is rescheduled.

If necessary, notification reminders can be re-enabled for a booking by opening it from the Business Planner and clicking on the new **Booking Notifications** button to the top-right of the Edit Details window.

See the [Booking Notifications](/workshop/docs/booking-notifications) help guide for further details.

### Automatic Subsidiary Supplier Orders

**BLUE-8010 - Intercompany Purchasing:** Added setting to automatically create customer order when receiving or invoicing from subsidiary suppliers.

Multi-company Enterprise systems can now be configured to automatically create the corresponding customer order at the supplying branch, when a subsidiary order is received or invoiced, without needing to click Submit.

To turn on automatic customer order creation for subsidiary suppliers, enable the **InterCompanyPurchasing.AutoCreateCustomerOrdersWhenReceiving** [branch setting](/workshop/docs/branch-settings) for the supplying branch.

See the [Intercompany Purchasing](/workshop/docs/intercompany-purchasing) help guide for further details.
