Etendo 25.4 speeds up goods shipment completion: goodbye bottlenecks

Although this is a technical change, its impact is entirely practical: goods shipments are completed much faster, the system responds better, and the day-to-day user experience improves significantly.
If your company manages a high volume of orders, this update marks a real turning point.

What exactly is being optimized?

In Etendo, status percentages are critical for operational control:

In Sales Orders

• Delivery Status: indicates, as a percentage, how much of the total quantity has been delivered.
• Invoice Status: indicates, as a percentage, how much of the total quantity has been invoiced.

In Goods Shipments

• Invoice Status: indicates, as a percentage, how much of the goods shipment has been invoiced.

Until now, in complex scenarios (for example, when a single invoice line is related to multiple goods shipment lines), the calculation could negatively impact performance:

• Only one line showed Invoice Status 100%
• The remaining lines showed 0%
• And the calculation was repeated inefficiently when completing documents

With Etendo 25.4, this logic has been redesigned in a much more efficient way, reducing processing time and unnecessary database load.

The result: much faster goods shipment completion

What really matters is not the “how”, but the impact:

• Reduced time to complete goods shipments
• Better performance in high-volume environments
• More efficient delivery and invoicing statuses
• Fewer system locks and waiting times for users

Starting with Etendo 25.4, the calculation of sales order and goods shipment statuses is faster, more efficient, and more scalable.

What about existing data?

Etendo also considers real-world scenarios. If there are goods shipments that were left in Draft status, or if you need to recalculate historical percentages, you can run the process: Match Sales Order Invoice and Shipment Lines

This process:

• Recalculates delivery and invoicing percentages
• Affects related sales orders and goods shipments
• Processes records from the previous 90 days relative to the current date

Advanced configuration

It is possible to define a different number of days through a system preference, adapting the recalculation window to each company’s needs.

Key recommendation: update as soon as possible

If your company works with:

• A high number of sales orders
• High goods shipment turnover
• Intensive invoicing processes

 Upgrading to Etendo 25.4 is not optional — it is strategic.

This improvement not only fixes a performance issue, but also raises the overall operational efficiency of the ERP in one of the most critical business areas.
