Current Beacon Release
v5.11.0, December 2025
Facilities
Added the ability to save an Account Number for each facility. This account number will be populated on billing documents (Invoice and Sales Order)
Transfers & Requests
Added new "Return To" feature, allowing operations users to specify where transferred loaner inventory should be returned. Users can specify different custodians in the same transfer, meaning if you send 3 kits to the field on loan, you can specify those kits be returned to 3 different custodians.
Added a feature in the "Return To" that simplifies the actual return process for the field user, making it easier to take action on the return process and create the appropriate transfers.
Added a new "Round Trip" feature, making it easier for a user to return unused inventory that was sent as part of an original transfer.
Added an email notification users on the "inventory request recipients" list to in form them when a user performs a "Quick Transfer" to themselves.
Added the ability for a user to attach documents or images–such as pre-operative plans, room set-ups, etc.–to an inventory request.
Added additional product information to org-level inventory requests (requests the Org makes of their suppliers), including product type and "Implant only"/"Instrument only".
Added a new automated replenishment request option for transfers sent to the organization that include expired inventory. This allows users to request 1:1 replenishment of expired inventory items automatically.
Events
Removed the "Manufacturer" field from the event creation workflow to simplify the process of creating an event.
Improved the billing document generation interface by removing the multi-layer fly-out menus and replacing them with checkbox options.
Added "tag" buttons in the event comment section to add "#Feedback" and "#Report Issue" designation to the comment. Using these tags when adding a comment allows us to generate reports that catalog all comments with the associated tags.
Inventory
Added new Inventory Types: "Sterile Instrument" and "Sterile Implant"
User Interface & Experience
Updated the "Physician Assignments" UI in the physician detail pages to match the User Assignment design pattern.
Added type-ahead search to additional search fields, including "Canonical Name" field in container catalog detail.
