Installation: User Defined Path to Database Files
The database files contain all data that you enter into the different modules within Mamut Business Software. The file path to the database files can now be customised; but the database files must be installed on a local disk on the server. You are able to define a new path file under the Advanced settings in the installation wizard.
Note that this alternative is only available if you have a single-user or server installation.
More information about installation can be found here.
Reduce Functionality in Mamut Business Software for ASP-hosting
Mamut now offers you an additional product that removes functionality that is generally handled by ASP suppliers.
Other Important Changes/ Improvements
Stocktaking Input Sheet
Two new stocktaking reports are now available in the Warehouse module. The stocktaking input sheet allows you to print a report that lists all the stock items available within your warehouse without including the estimated stock, but a field for noting the counted number of physical items. The two reports complement the stocktaking reports that are already available.
You can also access these reports from the Report module.
More information about stocktaking here.
Rounding to the Suppliers units for Purchasing
In the Product Register, under the Supplier tab, you are able to link a product to a supplier in order to perform purchases. If the supplier delivers products in special units/numbers/packaging and does not accept other quantities, you are able to register the quantity in this field in order to prevent that purchases are placed which differ from what the supplier provides. This setting overrides the Purchased field on new purchases when the purchase order is transferred to the status Purchased. The setting is deactivated by default. Example: The supplier delivers in cases of 24 and you have entered 30 as the purchase quantity. When you transfer to the status Purchased, the number will be rounded to 48.

Accumulated number with generating a purchase
When you generate a purchase with the help of the purchasing wizard, you can generate the purchase over time with accumulated quantities - until the purchase is transferred to the status Purchased. The purchasing wizard and the function for generating purchases based on sales orders, allow you to add the products to an existing purchase order - if one already exists - or to create a new purchase order.

Optimisation of Memory Usage for large Purchases that affect Cost Price
If your company sells product bundles, products consisting of several components, you can now enjoy the optimised function to update cost price. This makes it easier for you to update the cost price of the product bundles when you wish to update the cost price of the components.
Search Engine Optimisation
Mamut has now improved the title tag for search engines; the structure of the automatically created title tags has been enhanced to provide you with a better visibility in the search engines. Furthermore, if you have a Mamut Active24 domain, the internal links of your website will automatically be harmonised with your domain.
Mamut Online Desktop provides you with web based access to the information and functionality of Mamut Business Software, along with the services included within Mamut One.
Time Sheet Input
Time Sheet Input in Mamut Online Desktop gives you an online overview of your company's time sheets. You and your employees are able to register the hours that are important for your company to keep track of; create, view and edit your time sheets online, wherever and whenever you wish. Furthermore you are able to manage the time sheets you already have registered in Mamut Business Software in addition to creating new time sheets and time sheet lines.
You are able to access and use this module even though your locally installed Mamut Business Software client version does not include the Time Sheet Input functionality.
The registrations made via the web browser and Mamut Online Desktop, as well as locally within your Mamut system, are synchronised continuously. This means that the business always has access to up-to-date information.
The company settings for Time Sheet Input in Mamut Online Desktop are not the same as the company settings in your local Mamut Business Software. Define the settings for your company from the Settings menu in Mamut Online Desktop. The user settings are also independent of the user settings you have defined in your local Mamut Business Software. The user settings allow you to choose the information displayed when you work with time sheets. User settings are personal and only apply to the respective user.
Activity and Calendar
Mamut Online Desktop provides you with an online overview of activities concerning your company and employees. Create, edit and view activities online and keep track of these via the online calendar or activity list.
The Activity module allows you to manage all activities registered online or within your locally installed Mamut Business Software. In addition you are able to create new activities as well as edit or delete existing ones. The online calendar is an integrated part of the activity functionality. The calendar can be displayed as a Personal calendar, only containing your activities, or as a Common calendar, displaying your employees or resources synchronised with Mamut Business Software.
The registrations made via the web browser and Mamut Online Desktop, as well as locally within your Mamut system, are synchronised continuously. This means that the business always has access to up-to-date information.
The company settings for the Calendar in Mamut Online Desktop are inherited from your local Mamut Business Software company settings, while the user settings are independent of the user settings you have defined in your local Mamut installation. User settings are personal and only apply to the respective user. You are able to customise the module Activity and Calendar from the Settings menu in Mamut Online Desktop.
New Languages Supported
Mamut Online Desktop is now also available in several languages, therefore all modules can be accessed in either English, German, Norwegian or Swedish. In the near future additional languages will also be available.
For new users, the language of the log-in page is retrieved from the web browser, while for existing users the cookies will determine the language.
