3.62.3

Rename report columns on any screen from one admin page

October 26, 2026
Production

Administrators can now rename grid column headings on any screen from a single Report Field Labels page, instead of only on the Tasks report.

Improvement

Grid column sizing and label display

Grids apply your tenant's custom column captions automatically, and column widths are fitted to the renamed headings.

System Global
Improvement

Tasks report labels moved to the shared page

Custom column captions for the Tasks report are now managed on the shared Report Field Labels page, replacing the Tasks-specific labels page. Existing captions are carried over.

Task Management Global
New Feature

Column picker for label setup

When an administrator opens a screen, the columns it shows are recorded so they can be picked from a list when creating a label. Labels can also be set inactive to pause them without deleting them.

System Global
New Feature

Report Field Labels for every screen

Administrators can rename column headings on grids across all menus from one Administrator > Report Field Labels page. Each tenant keeps its own captions, and deleting a label restores the standard heading.

3.61.0

Production costing and goods receipt fixes across Production Planning

October 26, 2026
Production

Production orders now stay open until goods are received, and WIP, material ledger values, variances and BOM costs are calculated correctly.

Bug Fix

Goods issue offers only stock it can actually use

For a make-to-stock order, goods issue now offers only batched stock that is not earmarked for a sales order. Availability no longer shows stock that posting then refuses. Receipts built line by line, such as opening stock, now get a batch when posted.

Inventory Global
Bug Fix

Variant rules and size matrix limited to the right material

Variant rules and the order size matrix no longer accept another material's variants. Materials that vary on only one axis, such as size only or colour only, now get a size matrix on the order screen. The production order form also defaults the unit of measure.

Production Global
Bug Fix

BOM Calculate Cost prices lines with no cost

Calculate Cost now fills unpriced BOM lines from their chosen cost source (standard, moving average or last purchase price). It lists any lines it could not price, and for released BOMs it names the lines to price by change order. Production orders also pick up these prices, so planned material cost no longer freezes at zero.

Production Global
Bug Fix

More accurate price and usage variances and WIP figures

Usage variance is now based on the quantity actually issued, and price variance is the remainder of the ledger variance. Cost sheet actuals are valued from the material ledger. The WIP report no longer counts tiny rounding residues as WIP.

Analytics Global
Bug Fix

Issued quantities on production orders now update

The issued quantity and status of each order material are refreshed after every goods issue and every reversal. The cost sheet, variance analysis and order status now reflect what was actually issued.

Production Global
Bug Fix

Material ledger shows value on issues again

Goods issues to production, cost centres and sales had been recorded in the material ledger at zero value since late July. They now carry their value, and stock transfers show value on each leg. Entries already recorded are not corrected.

Inventory Global
Bug Fix

Finished goods valued from the order's actual WIP

A goods receipt from production now values the finished goods from the material and conversion cost still held in the order's WIP, divided by the quantity still open. Partial receipts no longer take the cost of the whole order. The postings credit the same WIP accounts the order was debited on, so WIP clears to zero.

Inventory Global
Bug Fix

Orders stay in progress until goods are received

Confirming the last operation no longer marks the order as completed, which used to block the goods receipt. The order stays In Progress until its finished goods are received.

Production Global
3.60.8

Fabric Programme Chart now shows the right fabrics for every colour and size

October 25, 2026
Production

The Fabric Programme Chart now picks the correct colour and size fabrics for multi-colour packs, and its PDF is easier to read in landscape.

Bug Fix

Correct fabrics for each colour of a multi-colour pack

When a pack was sold as a single multi-colour item, the chart printed the base colour's fabrics for every colour, and the other colours' fabrics never appeared. Each colour now lists its own fabrics.

Production Global
Bug Fix

Cutting Ratio shows the colours inside a multi-colour pack

A pack sold under one colour is now split into the colours it actually contains, using order quantities before scrap. Some orders previously counted the panels of every size, so the totals were too high. For example, 1,722 panels were shown for 840 garments. They now show 840.

Production Global
Bug Fix

Cutting Programme lists every fabric of a cut part

The Cutting Programme now has one row for each fabric of a cut part, grouped by colour. Sewing trims such as tape, elastic and thread are no longer listed as fabrics to dye.

Production Global
Improvement

Cleaner, more readable chart PDF

The PDF now prints on A4 landscape. Long labels wrap and numbers stay on one line. Piece counts print as whole numbers. Empty sections, an empty AOP Ref column and an empty width line are left out. Names print without the hierarchy-code prefix.

Production Global
3.60.7

Stock Abstract layouts now use neutral names and codes

October 25, 2026
Production

The standard Stock Abstract layouts no longer carry client-specific codes or client names in their descriptions.

Bug Fix

Neutral codes for the standard Stock Abstract layouts

The three standard Stock Abstract layouts now appear as LEDGER-ABSTRACT, JOBWORK-SPLIT and STAGE-WISE. Their old codes (RRD-5, BCM-9, BCM-STAGES) were named after the clients they were first built for, and those client names also showed in the layout descriptions. The descriptions are now generic.

Inventory Global
Improvement

Existing layouts are renamed in place

When the standard layouts are next refreshed for your company, any layout still using an old code is renamed to the new one. Saved filters and bookmarks that point to it keep working. If a layout with the new code already exists, the old one is left as it is.

Inventory Global
3.60.5

Safer setup and maintenance commands with Test mode by default

October 25, 2026
Production Breaking changes

Setup, seeding and backfill commands now run as a preview unless you choose to apply them, and they only affect your own tenant.

Bug Fix

Seeder hints and help pages now show the --apply option

On-screen hints, help articles and inventory guides now include --apply in the seeding command examples. Copying them now saves the data instead of running as a preview.

System Global
Improvement

Commands run only within your own tenant

Every command started from the console is now limited to the tenant of the person running it, so it can't touch another tenant's data.

System Global
Improvement

Seed and setup commands now need --apply to save changes

If you run seed, setup or backfill commands from the command line, add --apply to save the changes. Without it, the command shows what would happen and then rolls back.

System Global Breaking change
New Feature

Execute-program screen with Test mode on by default

The new execute-program screen runs in Test mode by default. You can see what a command would do before any data is saved.

System Global
New Feature

Test mode added to many setup and backfill commands

Commands that seed defaults, set up modules, or rebuild or backfill data can now be previewed safely. This covers areas such as cash management, inventory, EHS, budgets, payroll, contracts and GRC. Nothing is saved unless Apply is chosen.

System Global
3.58.7

Machine Breakdown: clearer status and severity, plus new UAT scripts

October 24, 2026
Production

Two display fixes in Machine Breakdown, and four new user-acceptance test scripts for the shop-floor breakdown flow.

Bug Fix

Breakdown status no longer blank on the desktop form

The desktop Breakdown Report form now shows the status of a breakdown that is Assigned, Acknowledged, Fixed or Operator Verified. Before, the status field was blank for these stages.

Other Global
Bug Fix

Stores pick list shows severity as a word

The stores pick list for breakdown spares now shows severity as "High" instead of the stored code "HIGH". It now matches what the supervisor selected when reporting.

Other Global
New Feature

UAT scripts for the shop-floor breakdown flow

Four new Plant Maintenance test scripts cover set-up and access, reporting and assigning, diagnosis with spares and stores issue, and fixing, checking and confirming a breakdown. Together they have 22 test cases.

System Global
3.58.8

Order pipeline tracker and order cost closure for merchandising

October 24, 2026
Production

Merchandisers can follow each order from yarn to shipment against plan, and close finished orders with a costing, budget and actual margin sheet that goes through approval.

New Feature

Pipeline and closure settings and permissions

The ERP team can map stages and cost elements and set the thresholds and the export-incentive switch. Five new permissions control viewing, configuring, preparing and approving.

System Global
New Feature

Behind-plan alerts and closure-due reminders

Merchandisers get a daily alert when a stage is behind plan. A draft closure is prepared automatically for orders that shipped or were short-closed in the last week.

CRM Global
New Feature

Closure print form, register and costing accuracy

Adds an Order Closure print form and a closure register. It also adds a costing accuracy report and a Merchandising AVP role.

CRM Global
New Feature

Order closure approval in My Approvals

Closure sheets go to the Merchandising AVP for approval. Sheets above the value threshold also go to the MD. An approved sheet is frozen. Later postings appear as "after closure" on the sheet and on the sales order P&L.

Workflow Global
New Feature

Short close for sales orders

A partly shipped sales order can now be short-closed with a reason, so that its cost closure can be prepared.

CRM Global
New Feature

Order cost closure sheet

Compares approved costing, budget and actual cost by cost element. It also shows leftovers, customer credit notes, export incentives and the final margin. It can be prepared for fully shipped orders and for short-closed orders. Merchants must comment on variances above the threshold.

CRM Global
New Feature

Daily, size, PO-wise and programme pipeline views

You can drill into daily progress, sizes and PO-wise figures for an order. A programme view sums all of a buyer's orders and refreshes about every 15 minutes. Any order's pipeline can be exported to Excel, with values only.

CRM Global
New Feature

Order pipeline tracker

Shows plan against actual for each stage and colour, from yarn to shipment, read live from posted documents. Stages are never mixed across units. Stages measured in kg also show a garment equivalent. A source that is missing shows "Not available" with the reason, never 0.

CRM Global
3.58.9

Separate permissions for goods issue and production receipt screens

October 24, 2026
Production Breaking changes

Goods Issue to Production, Goods Issue to Cost Centre and Goods Receipt from Production now have their own view and post permissions, plus a new Production Stores Clerk role.

Improvement

Menu entries and Post buttons follow the new permissions

The three screens appear in the sidebar only for users who have the view or post permission for that screen. Users who can view a screen but not post see the Post button disabled, with a hint to ask their administrator for access. Existing inventory viewers can still open the screens in read-only mode.

Inventory Global
New Feature

New Production Stores Clerk role

Administrators can assign a ready-made role that lets someone issue stock to production orders and cost centres and receive finished goods from production. It includes the inventory and material viewing the screens need.

Inventory Global
Security Update

Posting goods issues and production receipts needs its own permission

Being able to view inventory is no longer enough to post a goods issue to a production order, a goods issue to a cost centre, or a goods receipt from production. Each screen now has its own post permission, which also covers the stock movement and its journal. Production-order reservations on the issue screen need the same permission. Users who currently post from these screens need the new permission. Customised roles, including customised Materials Manager roles, must be updated by an administrator.

Inventory Global Breaking change
3.58.10

Balance Transfer Maker and Checker roles, and a working customer picker

October 24, 2026
Production

Two new roles split preparing and posting partner balance transfers, and the customer dropdown on the Balance Transfer screen now fills in for finance users.

Bug Fix

Customer picker on Balance Transfer no longer comes up empty

Finance users without CRM lead access can now pick a customer on the Balance Transfer screen. The dropdown used to show no customers for them.

Finance Global
New Feature

Balance Transfer Maker and Checker roles

A Balance Transfer Maker can simulate, park, re-park and discard partner balance transfers. A Balance Transfer Checker can post and reverse transfers that someone else parked, and cannot post their own work.

Finance Global
3.58.11

Scheduled report emails are now retried automatically when delivery fails

October 24, 2026
Production

If a scheduled report can't be emailed to some recipients, it is retried hourly, up to 4 times, for only those recipients.

Bug Fix

Failed scheduled report emails are retried hourly

When a scheduled report could not be delivered to some recipients, for example because the mail server was briefly unavailable, it used to be lost for the day. It is now retried every hour, up to 4 times.

Analytics Global
Improvement

Retries go only to recipients who did not receive the report

People who already received the report are not emailed again. This also applies to the daily timesheet emails sent to each employee. Manual "Send now" does not start or cancel a retry.

Analytics Global
Improvement

Retries stop at the end of the report's day

A retry is never sent after midnight (IST), because the report would then describe a different day. In that case the retry is dropped and the execution log records why.

Analytics Global
Improvement

Report history shows which attempt each send was

The report execution log now shows an attempt number, where 0 is the scheduled run and 1 to 4 are retries. Schedules show when the next retry is due.
