AgentNous

Mobile Sales Just Got a Whole Lot Better

Agents working in the paddock or on the hooks now have a purpose-built mobile workflow when creating and managing sales. When the mobile workflow is enabled for your agency:

• A friendly, easy-to-read sale type selector is shown on mobile when starting a new sale.
• For Over Hooks and Paddock sales, a new full-screen guided workflow takes you step by step through adding the vendor, creating lots, capturing.

Whether you're in a Paddock Sale, Over Hooks Sale, or On-Farm Auction, EIDs and NLIS tabs are now available consistently on your phone. You can also scan directly from lot cards on mobile — no need to jump to another screen.

• EIDs, completing NLIS, and submitting — all without leaving the workflow.
• EIDs and NLIS screens are now consistent across all sale types on mobile devices.

Hooks Sales

When you navigate to the lots tab in an Over Hooks sale, the quick lot creation panel no longer automatically opens. It'll stay out of your way until you're ready to use it.

Dashboard

When you have sales from multiple years in your list, sale dates now show the year — no more guessing which 23rd of March you're looking at! 

External Agent Sales

• Livestock administrators can now use the Sell via Ex Agent workflow on their own Livestock Auction sales, not just sales from other agencies. This is handy when you need to create a parallel copy/duplicate of a sale for reporting or settlement purposes.

• When processing External Agent (Ex Agent) sales, you can now enter an Animal Name in advanced drafting — great for stud cattle or sheep with registered names that need to appear on paperwork.

Your Data

• The sale lots grid has been updated to include Advanced Drafting data, such as Age (in months), Bloodlines, and Vendor Bred — useful for agents doing detailed lot descriptions or preparing for stud or special sales. 

• When searching for vendors or buyers, you'll now see the agent reference code alongside the business name in search results, making it quicker to find the right client when you've got multiple with similar names.

• From the Reports & Money section, you can now select multiple reports and merge them into a single combined PDF. Perfect for printing out a bundle for a review meeting or sending the full set to a client.      

What this means for you:                                                                                                                   

  - 📱 Faster, more natural lot creation in hooks and paddock sales on your phone
  - 🗓️ No more date confusion when working across sale seasons                                                     
  - 🔎️ Quicker client search using your own reference codes   
  - 📑 Combined PDFs make reporting and record-keeping much simpler     

AgentNous / Billing  

Xero Updates

• Xero Balances                                                                                       
  If your agency is connected to Xero, you can now see each contact's Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable balances (outstanding and overdue amounts) directly as columns in AgriNous. No need to jump into Xero just to check what's owed.

• Deep Link Directly to Xero Contacts
  

  From any business or contact record that's linked to Xero, you'll now find an "Open in Xero" link that takes you straight to that contact in your Xero account — saving you the search.

• Xero Tracking Categories by Branch
  

  When sending financial documents to Xero, AgriNous now automatically includes the vendor's branch as a Xero Tracking Category. This means your Xero reports can be broken down by branch without any manual tagging.

Buyer Pays Vendor Directly — New Settlement Option              
This is a significant new billing capability. Agencies can now configure a billing run so that the buyer pays the vendor directly, rather than everything going through the agency account. Your fees are still claimed as a separate charge.                                                       

This is especially useful for broker and paddock agencies where settlement happens directly between buyer and vendor. The option is available as a toggle when creating a billing run.               

Bulk Reject Changes in Billing Runs                                                                                                
No more manually rejecting documents one by one!
You can now click a single "Reject All Cosmetic Changes" button in a billing run to reject all non-financial changes across your documents in one hit.                                                                           

External Reference Column in Money & Sundries      
The External Reference (billing reference) field is now available as a column in your Money Table and Sundries views — making it easier to search and match documents by reference number.                                                                                                                                                                      Clearer Attachment Labels                                      
The attachment upload sections in invoices and RCTIs now include clearer explanatory text, so you'll always know which documents will be sent to your clients and which are for internal records only.

Excel-Compatible Dates from Money Table Export                          
When you export the Money Table to Excel or CSV, sale dates now come through as proper dates (not raw text), so sorting and filtering in Excel works correctly straight out of the box.       

What this means for you:                                       

  - 💰 Buyer-to-vendor direct payment option reduces reconciliation headaches
  - ⏱️ Bulk reject cosmetic changes in seconds instead of minutes                                                  
  - 📊 See your Xero balances without leaving AgriNous
  - 🔗 Jump straight to a Xero contact from a business record                                                                    

YardNous

MBM for Cattle                         
For saleyards that need it (particularly in Queensland), there's now a saleyard setting to re-enable MBM for cattle on a yard-by-yard basis.                                                   

YardNous & MyNous

No specific LoadNous or MyNous changes in this release.                   

AgriNous Platform

Multiple Tab Warning — Less Intrusive
The warning that appears when you're logged in on more than one browser tab no longer shows on watcher/weighbridge screens (which are often intentionally kept open as a secondary display). You can also now dismiss it for 30 minutes, 1 day, or until you next log out — rather than having it reappear constantly.                                        

Business Import — Flags No Longer Incorrectly Cleared                                                              
A bug in the business CSV import has been fixed. Previously, importing a file that was missing the Vendor, Buyer, or Transporter columns could accidentally uncheck those flags on existing businesses. This is now handled correctly.

Improved Business Edit History
A background fix means that editing a business now creates a single, accurate history record instead of multiple duplicate entries. This keeps audit logs cleaner and reduces database clutter.

Faster, More Reliable Platform
A number of behind-the-scenes improvements have been made to keep AgriNous running smoothly:

• 🐛 Fixed several crash scenarios: Quick Sell with grouped rows, row grouping in paddock/hooks, and sale navigation during deletions.

• 🔧 Streamlined Xero contact creation to reduce unnecessary traffic. 

• 🔨 Fixed an issue where the clearing sale title wasn't updating correctly after being changed                                                      

This release brings meaningful improvements for agents on the go, agencies managing complex settlements, and teams relying on Xero for financial reporting. The mobile experience in particular has taken a big step forward for hooks and paddock agents. 🤝
