A printable lot-wise summary of cut pieces on the cutting reports page.
A new Lot Wise Summary tab on the Cutting Reports page lists cut pieces by lot, part, colour and size, sectioned into in-house, vendor and company-shift cutting. It filters by sales order, production order, lot and date, prints as the CUTTING - LOT WISE SUMMARY sheet and exports to CSV.
An automatic debit note for an over-billed invoice now includes the GST the vendor charged on the excess.
The automatic debit note for an over-billed purchase invoice claimed the taxable value only, leaving the GST on the excess with the vendor and the input tax credit standing on money not being paid. The note now carries the tax rate stated on the difference, or failing that on the invoice line it came from, and reverses the proportional input tax credit. An RCM invoice carries no tax on the note, as the vendor charged none.
A missing input-tax account is flagged on the Differences tab while the invoice can still be edited, rather than refusing the posting.
TDS is rounded to the whole rupee, the payment advice shows TDS deducted on the invoice, and the payment screens show the exact amount that leaves the bank.
TDS was calculated to the paisa — a 1% deduction on 46,155 withheld 461.55 — leaving a net payable that no bank transfer matched and no challan accepts. TDS is now rounded to the nearest rupee (fifty paise up), as Section 288B requires, at invoice posting, in the payment proposal and on down payments alike. The base is not rounded.
Where TDS was withheld when the invoice was posted, the payment advice printed “TDS Deducted 0.00” while the invoice table showed a short payment. The advice now takes that TDS from the invoices cleared, shows Gross = TDS + Net, adds a TDS column per invoice, and says on each line whether it was deducted at payment or on which invoice.
Payment runs, the payment register and detail, manual and advance payments and the due-invoices worklist rounded every amount to the rupee, so an operator could transfer a rounded figure from the bank. These screens now show two decimals. Reports and the dashboard keep whole rupees.
A service entry sheet proposes the purchase order line’s price after discount.
Picking a PO line on a service entry sheet filled in the gross price, so a sheet against a discounted line accrued the expense before the discount and the difference was left standing in the service clearing account. The sheet now proposes the net price and shows the discount applied, for example “@ 3,384 after 20% off 4,230”.
The accounts a GST receipt voucher posts to can be set up from a screen instead of the admin console.
Issuing a GST receipt voucher on a customer advance needs the tax-on-advances account configured, and the only way to do that was the admin console. A new page under Financial → Receivables → GST Advance Accounts lists every company — configured or not — and flags an incomplete setup, so the missing row is visible on exactly the tenant that needs it.
The project edit dialog no longer blanks the planned dates.
Opening a project from the Projects grid for editing showed its planned and actual dates blank, and saving lost them. The dates now load into the dialog as they are stored.
Cutting notes print, long sizes can be re-cut into shorter ones before bundling, and QC can send part of a bundle to rework.
The cutting QC inspection screen can now send some of a bundle’s pieces to rework rather than the whole bundle; the pieces sent are recorded on the bundle.
A lay slip now records the spreader it is issued to.
A new Down-Size screen records re-cutting pieces of a larger size into a smaller one between cutting and bundling. Pieces are conserved one for one, only downwards, and only from pieces not yet bundled. A size position table shows, per size, what was cut, what is required and what has been re-cut.
A cutting note can be previewed and printed from the cutting-notes list, with its bundle table and page totals. The layout is a print form, so a tenant can have its own.
Print and Download on a GST receipt voucher open the PDF instead of an authorisation error.
Print and Download on a GST receipt voucher opened a new tab that landed on an authorisation error. The voucher is now fetched through the signed-in session, as every other printed document is, and a failure is shown on the panel instead of in a dead tab.
A lay slip or roll record against a hand-keyed marker no longer fails, and a weight nobody entered shows as blank rather than zero.
A marker keyed in by hand carries no lay or waste weight (those arrive with a CAD import), and creating a lay slip or recording a roll against one failed with a server error. The fabric required, expected waste, total waste and remaining roll weight are now left blank when the marker has no weight — 0.000 would read as “no fabric needed”. A marker with no garments per lay is refused by name, since the lay count cannot be worked out without it.
Tenants that were missing the standard supplier types have them again.
Some tenants had an empty Supplier Type list while the vendor master makes Supplier Type mandatory, so no vendor could be saved. The eight standard supplier types are now filled in on every tenant on upgrade. Existing types are never edited, and a type already present under another code is left as it is.
