Modules and feature availability

Omnilinker switches some modules and options on or off for each organization. These switches are called features. Together they make up your plan: a module that is off disappears from the menu for everyone in your organization, and Omnilinker refuses its actions, whatever their roles allow. Features are set by Omnilinker. You cannot see or change them in the app, and no permission gives access to them. To have a feature switched on or off, or a limit changed, contact Omnilinker.

How to tell what you have

The menu. A module that is off has no area in the menu. If nobody in your organization sees an area that these docs describe, its module is probably off. See Finding your way around.
The page itself. Some pages say so when you open them directly: “Stations are switched off for your company.”, “Printing is not turned on for your company.”, “The Shipping module is disabled for this tenant.” or “The Marketplaces module is disabled for this tenant.”
Home. The What’s new panel on Home shows release notes for the modules your organization has switched on.

If a colleague sees something you don’t, the difference is permissions, not features; see Users and roles.

Home, Catalog, Pricing Intelligence, Notifications, Administration and API keys are not switched per organization: only permissions decide who sees them.

Options and limits

Some features change how a module behaves rather than switching it on.

Feature	Module	What it does	Default
Multi-Warehouse Support	Inventory	Lets you have more than one warehouse. When it is off, + Create warehouse is disabled once you have one: “Multiple warehouses aren’t enabled for your plan. Upgrade to add more than one warehouse.”	On
Maximum Number of Warehouses	Inventory	How many warehouses you can have, from 1 to 100. At the limit, Omnilinker says “You’ve reached the maximum number of warehouses for your plan. Upgrade or remove an existing warehouse.”	5
Packing and picking	Sales	Scan-to-pack in floor mode: each item is scanned against the order before the label prints, and the Packing tab in the order settings; and pick lists (Sales > Pick lists) with the Picking settings. Needs Order Management and, for pick lists, Inventory’s Locations. See Scan each item and Pick lists.	Off
Stock Alerts & Notifications	Inventory	Raises stock alerts, shows them on the inventory dashboard and sends their notifications. Needs Inventory Management. See Low-stock alerts.	Off
Email notifications	Notifications	Sends notifications by e-mail as well as to the bell. When it is off, the Manage channels permission is not shown and the e-mail options are greyed out. See Channels.	On
Escalation	Notifications	Passes an alert on to the next people when nobody acknowledges it in time. When it is off, the Manage escalation permission is not shown and nothing escalates. See Escalation.	On
Enable Catalog integration	Pricing Intelligence	”Allow Pricing Intelligence to read from and link with the Catalog module’s products.” When it is off, the Track in Pricing Intelligence column and field are not shown on Catalog > Products.	On
Read prices from the ERP	ERP integration	”ERP Sync reads the ERP’s selling prices of all levels while a price level is mapped on a connection: every 15 minutes, and in full once a day. Turn it on after checking the load on the ERP database.” On a price level Omnilinker sets, nothing changes in your prices: they are compared with the ERP’s on the connection’s Price levels tab. On a price level you let the ERP set, they land as your prices, and the ERP option stays locked until this is on. See Prices and Prices from your ERP.	Off
Send prices to the ERP automatically	ERP integration	”Send prices to the ERP automatically for price levels Omnilinker sets, on the connections where a person switched it on for the level.” While it is off, prices reach the ERP only with Send to ERP, and the switch Send changes automatically, whole-level sends and starting a handover from Omnilinker’s prices are not offered. See Send prices automatically.	Off
Read product images from the ERP	ERP integration	”ERP Sync reads product images from the ERP and uploads the image files, which land on linked products whose images come from that connection. Turn it on after checking the load on the ERP database and the internet line.” While it is off, the Images field of a connection’s product settings cannot be turned on. See Product images.	Off
Allow changing email settings	Settings	Lets your organization change its own e-mail sending settings under Administration > Settings, and the mail server used for e-mail notifications. While it is off, the Emailing permission is not offered in the role editor and the mail server is managed for you; see Channels.	Off

When a feature changes

Switched on. The module’s menu area appears for the people whose roles include its permissions. Switching a module on does not change any role, so check your roles in the role editor and give the module’s permissions to the people who need them; see Users and roles.
Switched off. The module’s menu area disappears and its pages and actions are refused. Its data stays, and comes back when the module is switched on again. Background work stops too: for example, with Stock Alerts & Notifications off, no new stock alerts are raised.
Read prices from the ERP switched on or off. Switched on, the agent starts reading the ERP’s prices at its next heartbeat (within a minute or so), for every connection that has a price level mapped. Switched off, it stops reading at its next heartbeat and the comparison on the connection’s Price levels tab disappears. You cannot switch it on yourself: ask Omnilinker. It is turned on after the load on your ERP database has been checked.
Send prices to the ERP automatically switched on or off. Switched on, nothing is sent yet: a person switches automatic sending on per price level on the connection’s Price levels tab. Switched off, nothing new is sent, prices already on their way are still delivered, and open handovers from Omnilinker’s prices are cancelled. Switched on again, only the prices that changed meanwhile are sent. You cannot switch it on yourself: ask Omnilinker.
Read product images from the ERP switched on or off. Switched on, nothing is read yet on a connection whose Images field is Off; turn it on there, and the agent starts at its next heartbeat. Switched off, the agent stops reading and uploading images at its next heartbeat, and the images already on products stay. You cannot switch it on yourself: ask Omnilinker. It is turned on after the load on your ERP database and your internet line has been checked.
Limit lowered. A lower Maximum Number of Warehouses does not delete warehouses; you cannot add more until you are under the limit.
