What's new on Qoblex

Receiving a purchase order used to mean typing every batch or serial number by hand in the receive-batch dialog. Now each GRN line item offers three options:

Auto Generate — enter a prefix, suffix, start number, and count; Qoblex expands them server-side into N batches. This is the same sequence mechanism manufacturing already uses for finished-goods batch numbers, now extended to purchase receiving.

Bulk Insert — paste a list of numbers or codes separated by semicolons; Qoblex creates one batch row per entry. Useful when your supplier gives you a list of serial numbers to copy across.

Manual entry — unchanged from before, still available for single batches or one-off cases.

A few things worth knowing about how Auto Generate and Bulk Insert work:

• Both create batches at quantity 1 each, matching manufacturing's existing behavior for serialized items. There is no separate serial-number domain entity — auto-generated and bulk-inserted entries are quantity-1 batches.
• All three entry routes feed the same batch-assignment endpoint and validation, so inventory consistency checks apply identically regardless of how the batch numbers were generated.
• Sequence expansion and invalid-sequence rejection are validated server-side, not just in the browser.

The sequence is stateless per receipt: the prefix/suffix/start/count is entered fresh each time, and no persisted "next batch number" counter is maintained. This matches how manufacturing's sequence generator works.
