Currency Exchange Rate & payment URL browser extension

What is Unleashed Assistant Chrome Extension?

A browser extension for Google Chrome, which works on Unleashed inventory management system. It enhances Unleashed features and provides the user the ability to deal with live and accurate currency exchange rates and the ability to insert URL links for credit card payments using ezyCollect gateway.

Installation

Unleashed assistant is an extension on Google play store.

  1. Follow the link
    https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/unleashed-assistant/gllefienleolfpmbhjinijnaccejijmp
  2. Add to chrome
  3. Log onto your unleashed account

What Problem Does it Solve?

Our extension comes to solve two main problems:

  1. Exchange rates – Unleashed inventory does not support live currency exchange rates. Users are required to update rates, manually on each PO/SO transaction they create. Not checking and using incorrect rates affects data such as COGS, profitability and discrepancies when unleashed is integrated with an accounting package.
  2. Credit card payment URL – Unleashed does not provide the ability to insert into Quotes or Sales Orders a custom URL link, with prepopulated payment details relevant to each order, to allow customers to pay online using credit card.Today, the only option to send a payment URL link to a customer, is to first push the order to Xero accounting (complete a sale invoice). If not using Xero, or in the event an invoice was pushed to Xero, and then a change on the order is required, after it was already sent to the customer; a long and tedious process of reversal is required. Generating Credit notes, pushing it to the accounting system, reconciling Credit with Invoice, and then again recreating the Order in unleashed.

Exchange Rates

  1. After downloading and installing the extension from the google Chrome store
  2. Log onto your unleashed account
  3. Go into any open SO or PO which is in a currency other than your base currency.
    (if no open PO/SO – create one)
  4. A red exclamation mark should appear on screen, alerting that no subscription was found.
  5. Click on the icon – and a form should open on our website (websapp.solutions).
  6. Submit your request.

How does it work?

The Chrome extension starts working when the user visits one of the following Unleashed software’s web interface pages:

  • Purchase order
  • Sales order
  • Sales Invoice
  • Credit Note
  1. When a user visits one of the pages mentioned above, the following steps take place:
    The extension collects the following information from the page:

    1. Company Name
    2. Base currency code
    3. Currency code for the PO/SO/SI/CN
    4. Entered exchange rate – either by Unleashed by default or manually
    5. Dates of document
  2. If the base currency code is different from the currency code for the PO/SO/SI/CN, the extension fetches the exchange rate for the requested date from an online exchange rate service (Open Exchange Rates https://openexchangerates.org/).
  3. Once an exchange rate is obtained, the extension compares it to the exchange rate entered in the PO/SO, and visually display on screen icons and tooltips.
  4. If the difference between the rates is more than a configured threshold, the extension alerts the user about the difference and offers to change the exchange rate field in the PO/SO to the one obtained from the API.
  5. The user can then accept or cancel.
    Upon acceptance, the exchange rate obtained from the online service will update the document with the obtained rate.
    Cancellation, will leave the rate unchanged.
  6. After the user has accepted/declined the new rate, the exchange rate will be color coded to visually alert the user and an icon will display on screen.
    Red – Rate does not match or within the “threshold”.  User has accepted the incorrect rate. Green – Rate matches or is within “threshold” 
  7. When a change to an Order Date field or Exchange rate, has occurred on a document, by the user, the extension will alert for a “re-check”. A re-check can be taken by refreshing the page (F5) or clicking the icon.

To remain effective as an alerting mechanism, Unleashed Assistant, does not invoke a pop up window, on every event on screen. The extension is only presenting pop up alerts when the page is refreshed (F5), or the user initiates a check (by clicking on the icon).

Supported exchange rates

Unleashed Assistant supports all major exchange rates. Exchange rates are taken from https://openexchangerates.org/

Base rate is USD.

When converting between any two non-USD currencies, conversion take place to USD first. ie. For a conversion between AUD → CAD

The extension will convert AUD → USD, in memory, then between USD → CAD and will alert only on the end result (CAD).

Notice that when creating multiple orders, for “today”, each time a new rate may be retrieved from the API – ie spot rate. For orders entered with a “past” date, the rate will be the last rate for the trading day.
