## Open API: SKU Support and New Endpoints

The [BoxHero Open API](https://rest.boxhero-app.com/docs/api) now lets you work with items by SKU alone (no internal `item_id` required), and manage purchase orders, sales orders, returns, bundles, and price lists directly through the API. 

#### What's New 

* **Work by SKU:** New `by-sku` routes to look up, update, and delete items (e.g. `/v1/items/by-sku/{sku}`), plus `item_sku` / `bundle_sku` support in request bodies. 
* **Purchase & Sales Orders:** Create and manage orders, change status, and receive or ship stock — partially or all at once. 
* **Returns:** Manage returns and receive returned stock, with lookup by return number (`by-number`). 
* **Bundles:** Full CRUD, lookup by SKU, and components referenced by SKU. 
* **Price Lists:** Create, update, and delete price lists, separated by purchase and sales type. 

For full request and response schemas, see the [API reference](https://rest.boxhero-app.com/docs/api).

## Multi-Currency Support for Purchases & Sales

You can now choose a currency when creating a <mark style="color:$primary;">`Purchase Order`</mark> or <mark style="color:$primary;">`Sales Order`</mark> — no matter what language your team uses.

<figure><img src="/files/mopcmuyznM5i7Yxgb4jf" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

* Set a **default currency** for your team that's independent of your language setting.
* The default currency is auto-selected on new orders, and you can switch to a different one directly from the order screen.
* When you apply a <mark style="color:$primary;">`Price List`</mark>, its saved currency is used automatically.
* <mark style="color:$primary;">`Sales Reports`</mark> always converts to your current display currency using the latest exchange rate.

#### How to Set Up

The first time anyone on your team opens BoxHero after this update, a currency selection popup will appear — whatever's chosen applies to the entire team right away. You can change it later from:

* **Desktop:** <mark style="color:$primary;">`Settings`</mark> > <mark style="color:$primary;">`Team`</mark> > <mark style="color:$primary;">`Display Settings`</mark> > <mark style="color:$primary;">`Currency`</mark>
* **Mobile:** <mark style="color:$primary;">`Settings`</mark> > <mark style="color:$primary;">`Display Settings`</mark> > <mark style="color:$primary;">`Currency`</mark>

## Visualize Custom Analytics Results as Charts

Query results from the <mark style="color:$primary;">`AI Assistant`</mark> can now be turned into charts. Spot trends and patterns at a glance instead of scanning through table rows.

* Choose between <mark style="color:$primary;">`Pie`</mark>, <mark style="color:$primary;">`Bar`</mark>, and <mark style="color:$primary;">`Line`</mark> charts depending on what you're looking at.
* Pick which columns to use for the X and Y axes.
* Tap <mark style="color:$primary;">`Chart`</mark> next to <mark style="color:$primary;">`Export to Excel`</mark> on any query result to get started.

## AI Assistant for Custom Analytics

You can now build reports in <mark style="color:$primary;">`Custom Analytics`</mark> by asking questions in plain language. The new AI Assistant writes the SQL for you, runs it, and shows the results.

***

#### What's New

* No SQL knowledge required. Type a question, get a working query.
* The assistant panel opens automatically when you create a new query.
* Generated queries can be edited, saved, and reused like any other query.

#### How to Use It

1. Go to <mark style="color:$primary;">`Reports`</mark> > <mark style="color:$primary;">`Custom Analytics`</mark> > <mark style="color:$primary;">`+ New`</mark>.
2. Type your question in the assistant panel. For example:
   * *"Items below safety stock levels"*
   * *"What hasn't sold in the last 90 days?"*
   * *"Top 10 SKUs by units sold this month"*
3. Review the results to confirm they match what you expect.
4. Select <mark style="color:$primary;">`Save`</mark> to keep the query for future use.

{% embed url="<https://customer-0jrbilsa8yt3k758.cloudflarestream.com/455b3d28c2373ab1dce6e99b54bf4a7d/iframe?autoplay=true&controls=false&letterboxColor=transparent&loop=true&muted=true&poster=https://customer-0jrbilsa8yt3k758.cloudflarestream.com/455b3d28c2373ab1dce6e99b54bf4a7d/thumbnails/thumbnail.jpg?height=1080&preload=true>" %}

{% hint style="warning" icon="lightbulb" %}
The more specific your question, the more accurate the results. Instead of *"show me sales,"* try *"top 10 items by revenue this month."*
{% endhint %}

## Jump Straight to Your Task Sheet&#x20;

Counting inventory on mobile now starts from the home screen.&#x20;

We've added a <mark style="color:$primary;">`My Task Sheets`</mark> shortcut so you can skip straight to your assigned work. No more tapping through multiple screens from the **Inventory Count** to get there.

The shortcut only appears when you have a sheet assigned to you, so the home screen stays clean for everyone else.

{% endupdate %}

{% update date="2026-04-28" tags="mobile,improvements" %}

## Drafts Move to the Home Screen

We've moved saved drafts to the home screen so you can pick up where you left off — without hunting for them.

#### What's New

* Saved drafts that used to be at the top of the **Stock In** / **Stock Out** tab now appear directly on the **home screen**.
* You'll see a **red number badge** showing how many are waiting (including drafts saved by other team members).
* If there are no drafts, the <mark style="color:$primary;">`Drafts`</mark> menu is hidden from the home screen.

{% endupdate %}

{% update date="2026-04-20" tags="mobile,improvements" %}

## Mobile Items Tab Update <a href="#mobile-items-tab-update" id="mobile-items-tab-update"></a>

We've redesigned the <mark style="color:$primary;">`Items`</mark> tab in the BoxHero mobile app. The updated layout features a cleaner list, redesigned item details, and an easier way to record transactions.

***

#### Item List <a href="#item-list" id="item-list"></a>

There are three main changes to the *Item* *List*:

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="1" %}
**Location Filter**

The grouping filter at the top of the list has been replaced with a location filter, so you can quickly view inventory at a specific location.

<figure><img src="/files/S51WFcdLDss1h1cdexop" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="2" %}
**Group by, In Stock, Sort by**&#x20;

These options have moved below the search bar.

<figure><img src="/files/cWqbmnJmEwxskkF77fV1" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="3" %}
**Adding Items**

The <mark style="color:$primary;">`+`</mark> button to add a new item has moved from the bottom of the screen to the top-right corner.

<figure><img src="/files/rgBvbQ255TLzp1SlgNGx" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

#### Item Information <a href="#item-information" id="item-information"></a>

The item info screen is now organized into two tabs:

* **Details:** All of the item's core details in one view.
* **Inventory:** Stock quantities broken down by location (same as before).

<figure><img src="/files/U2SLtUZQtuykojRTrgnp" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

#### Recording Inventory Transactions <a href="#recording-inventory-transactions" id="recording-inventory-transactions"></a>

If you manage multiple locations, the steps for recording stock transactions have changed:

* **Before:** Select a location, then choose a transaction type.
* **After:** Tap the <mark style="color:$primary;">`Transact`</mark> button, then choose a transaction type and location.&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/QJht6QtPWu8CIUBJ7vO4" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

{% hint style="warning" icon="lightbulb" %}
If you've already filtered by a specific location from the item list, the location selection screen is *automatically skipped*.
{% endhint %}

#### Viewing Transaction History <a href="#viewing-transaction-history" id="viewing-transaction-history"></a>

* **Before:** Tap the <mark style="color:$primary;">`Recent Transactions`</mark> button on the item info screen.
* **After:** Tap the quantity displayed at the bottom of the screen.

<figure><img src="/files/a8N00zE9HFA85T8FCNVd" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

{% hint style="warning" icon="lightbulb" %}
To view the transaction history for a *specific* location, select that location from the <mark style="color:$primary;">`Inventory`</mark> tab.
{% endhint %}

{% endupdate %}

{% update date="2026-04-17" tags="new-releases" %}

## New Languages: Vietnamese and Russian

**Vietnamese** (Tiếng Việt) and **Russian** (Русский) have been added as language options on both desktop and mobile apps. BoxHero's [help documentation](https://www.boxhero.io/docs?ref=boxhero-en.ghost.io) is available in both languages as well.

#### How to Switch Languages <a href="#how-to-switch-languages" id="how-to-switch-languages"></a>

* Go to <mark style="color:$primary;">`Account Settings`</mark> (profile icon, top right) > <mark style="color:$primary;">`Language`</mark>.

<figure><img src="/files/0yrJdzgoK5hEBe38x8RM" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
