3.49.10

Balance Lists, Payment Allocation and UAT Hardening

October 05, 2026
Production

Vendor and Customer Balance Lists, allocation of credit notes and journals, a faster GL Open Items screen, and fixes found while writing UAT scripts for Tasks, Projects and Piece Tracking.

Bug Fix

Piece Tracking - Void, DHU and Rollup Corrections

  • Voiding a loaded piece's only scan no longer resets it to "Created".
  • The DHU report now uses the same definition as the board, and reports coded and uncoded defects separately.
  • A void now reaches the hourly rollups immediately.
  • Rework recording validates before writing the scan.
  • Loaded and WIP counts come from pieces, not load scans.
  • Stale-WIP with 0 hours no longer falls back to 72.
  • Quality Analytics default end time uses local time.
Production Global
Bug Fix

Tasks - Dashboard and Form Corrections

  • The Overdue card now counts what its drill-down lists.
  • The dead bulk "Assign" and "Export Selected" items are removed.
  • The Template form marks Task Source as required.
  • Recurrence labels read "Every N days".
  • New Task Report Labels page and a sample workbook for Tasks Upload.
Task Management Global
Bug Fix

Project System - Change Requests and Dependency Message

The Issues & Changes tab now has a New Change Request button that creates a draft. The message for a circular activity dependency now names the two activities in the right order.

Other Global
Bug Fix

Customer Ledger - Orphaned and Duplicate Receipt Entries

Receipts re-done under the same number no longer leave an unlinked, fully open entry behind in the customer ledger, and direct-invoice reversals are settled by an allocation record. Repair commands are provided for existing data.

Finance Global
Improvement

GL Open Items - Faster Screen and Vendor / Customer Column

The GL Open Items screen loads about five times faster and its summary is near-instant.

  • Now a Syncfusion grid with filtering, grouping, export, column chooser and saved layouts.
  • New columns: Document Date, Reference and Vendor / Customer. The party is left blank when it cannot be determined, never guessed.
Finance Global
Improvement

Payment Allocation - Credit Notes, Debit Notes and Journals

The Payment Allocation screen now allocates by side, not by document type.

  • Credit notes and credit journals can be cleared against invoices alone or together with a receipt.
  • Debit journals are now treated as receivables and can be settled.
  • Manual, automatic and mass allocation share one write path, so repeating a pair no longer fails.
  • The 100-row cap on open items and unmatched payments is removed.
Finance Global
New Feature

Vendor and Customer Balance Lists

Two new reports under Finance → Reports show opening balance, debits, credits and closing balance for every vendor and customer, with the control account.

  • Read from the sub-ledgers, so each row equals that party's own statement.
  • A foreign-currency customer with no exchange rate is flagged, never silently converted at 1.0.
  • Access is controlled by the new View AR Reports permission.
Finance Global
New Feature

Piece Tracking UAT Scripts

Five UAT scripts (UAT-PT-001 to 005) cover setup and profiles, pieces and labels, scanning, rework and analytics, and the board, cost and access.

Production Global
New Feature

Tasks Management UAT Scripts

Eight UAT scripts (UAT-TM-001 to 008) cover templates, projects, task create / edit, dashboard, recurring tasks, time tracking, worksheet / upload and capacity / chat access.

Task Management Global
New Feature

Project System UAT Scripts

Six UAT scripts (UAT-PS-001 to 006) cover projects and WBS, network scheduling, people and timesheets, cost governance, meetings and chat, and dashboard access.

Other Global
Security Update

Tasks - Write Actions Need Their Own Permissions

Creating, changing and deleting tasks, projects, templates, definitions and recurring tasks (including bulk update and delete) no longer rides on the read permission. They now require the add / change task permissions.

Task Management Global
3.49.6

Production Planning Controls, Plant Maintenance Walkthrough and UAT Scripts

October 03, 2026
Production

Production screens are now permission-gated and a production confirmation can post stock; Plant Maintenance gets a 37-step walkthrough with the defects it found fixed, plus reliability and compliance reports; UAT scripts for Production and Cutting Room.

Bug Fix

Plant Maintenance - Defects Found by the Walkthrough

  • Creating a service order failed with a server error because a date field defaulted to a date-and-time.
  • The dashboard counted statuses that do not exist (Open anomalies, In-Repair breakdowns).
  • Completing a maintenance schedule never moved the plan's next due date.
  • Work-order labour and parts actions were unusable, task number was wrongly required, and labour hours did not roll up.
  • Missing validation on several PM forms is now enforced by the serializers.
Other Global
Improvement

Change Requests, BOM, Order Costing and Pre-Pack Improvements

A new Change Requests list, a Production Order cost page and cost-reference freezing, clearer BOM and routing editing, plant configuration for stock posting, and corrections to MRP planned-order conversion, variant matrices, SO BOM and pre-packs found while scripting the Production UAT.

Production Global
New Feature

Production Confirmation Can Post Component Issue and Finished-Good Receipt

Confirming a production operation can now back-flush the components and receive the finished good into stock. It is opt-in per plant and off by default. Confirmation, stock and GL postings are one block: a shortage or a missing account refuses the whole confirmation rather than half-posting. Operations can also be put On Hold.

Production Global
New Feature

Plant Maintenance - Reliability and Compliance Reports

New reliability (MTBF, shown as not available rather than 0 when there is no failure history) and maintenance compliance reports, plus a 37-step Plant Maintenance walkthrough and training guide.

Other Global
New Feature

UAT Scripts for Production Planning and Cutting Room

New acceptance test scripts covering BOMs, routing, MRP, scheduling, production orders, shop floor, prepacks and style intent (Production Planning), and UAT-CR-001 to 005 for markers, cutting jobs and notes, lay slips, bundles and QC, down-sizing and reports.

Production Global
Security Update

Production Planning Screens Are Permission-Gated

Production Planning endpoints and screens now check module permissions, with the buttons hidden where a user lacks them. A new test fails the build if a write action is added without being listed. Run setup_rbac per tenant after deployment to seed the new codenames.

Production Global
3.49.0

Quality Management Walkthrough and Fixes

October 02, 2026
Production

A 72-step Quality Management training run and the defects it found, plus the ability to raise an inspection lot against a specific goods-receipt line.

Bug Fix

Inspection Lots, Cost of Quality and Measurement CSV Import

  • A hand-raised inspection lot dropped its supplier; it now keeps it, and the lot form has a picker.
  • Cost of Quality counted the headline figure instead of the usage-decision splits.
  • A measurement CSV with ragged rows could not be parsed; it now is.
Quality Management Global
Bug Fix

Partial Update of a Material No Longer Clears Its Classifications

Saving only some fields of a material wrote empty values for every field that was not sent, wiping its code and hierarchy classifications. Fields not sent are now left untouched. A same-day change of cost group, which failed with a server error, is also fixed.

Inventory Global
Improvement

Inspection Lot Can Name Its Goods-Receipt Line

An inspection lot can now be raised against a specific goods-receipt line, with a lookup of the receipt lines on the Inspection Lots page. This is what makes Return to Vendor available on the lot. Scrap falls back cleanly for a cost group that has no consumption account.

Quality Management Global
New Feature

Quality Management Walkthrough and Training Guide

A guided 72-step run through Quality Management - plans, lots, results, usage decisions with stock postings, Return to Vendor and analytics - with a matching training guide.

Quality Management Global
3.49.4

Order-to-Cash Walkthrough and CRM Fixes

October 02, 2026
Production

A 42-step Order-to-Cash walkthrough from lead to cash, and the defects it found - wrong dashboard figures, an unprotected credit release, and invoice and date handling.

Bug Fix

Sending an Invoice Updates the Sales Order Lines It Bills

Order lines count only sent invoices, but the line figures were refreshed only when an invoice line was saved, so a sent invoice left the order at “Not invoiced”. They now refresh when the invoice status changes. Dispatching a delivery by status also now records the dispatch date.

CRM Global
Bug Fix

Lead, Quotation, Order and Receipt Dates; Lead Activities

  • Date fields on leads, quotations, orders, deliveries, invoices and receipts defaulted to a date-and-time; when omitted by an API caller, creating a lead failed with a server error after the record was already saved. They now default to the local date.
  • Lead activities could not be edited; they can again.
  • Naive date-times were shifted by 5 h 53 m (historical local mean time) instead of 5 h 30 m.
  • The Lead Add Activity dialog defaulted its date to UTC; it now uses local time.
  • Creating an opportunity now returns its id and number; a delivery-note item over-delivery returns a clear message instead of an HTML error page.
CRM Global
Bug Fix

CRM and Receivables Dashboard Figures Corrected

  • Revenue (MTD) summed every order ever raised, unconverted; it is now month-to-date and in company currency.
  • Overdue invoices counted CRM invoices, which a receipt never marks paid, so paid invoices stayed overdue (8.2 cr against 0.89 cr). The ledger is now the source, on both the CRM and Receivables dashboards.
  • Late and blocked values added dollars to rupees.
  • The Sales Order dashboard cache was never refreshed when an order changed and summed native-currency amounts; it is now refreshed and in company currency.
CRM Global
New Feature

Order-to-Cash Walkthrough and Training Guide

A guided 42-step walkthrough from lead through customer, opportunity, quotation (with revision), order (credit block, release and cancel), delivery, invoice and receipt to dashboards reconciled to the registers, with a matching training guide.

CRM Global
Security Update

Credit Release and Rejection Now Require Permission

Approving or rejecting a credit block, and listing the pending credit approvals, had no permission check, so any signed-in user could release any credit block. They now require credit.release_credit and credit.view_credit. The pending-approvals route, which returned 404, is also reachable.

CRM Global
3.48.5

Hire-to-Retire Walkthrough, Procurement UAT and HR Fixes

October 01, 2026
Production

A guided Hire-to-Retire demonstration that can be launched from the web app, three HR defects it found, Procurement and Material Management UAT scripts, and RFQ and Sales Order amendment fixes.

Bug Fix

Sales Order - Edits to an Approved Order Are Now Recorded

The Sales Order update logic was defined twice, and the live copy shadowed the one that recorded amendments, so changes to an approved order were never snapshotted. The two are merged: header and line changes on an issued order are now captured in its version history, and a draft still edits in place.

CRM Global
Bug Fix

Recruitment, Roster and Performance Defects Found by the Walkthrough

  • Converting an accepted offer into an employee failed because foreign keys were passed by the wrong field name; marking a candidate Hired also closed the application before moving it to the Hired stage.
  • Overlapping roster periods on a plant were accepted and then failed with a server error on generate; they are now refused with a clear message.
  • Creating a performance cycle scoped to a department failed with a server error.
Human Resources Global
Bug Fix

Purchase Requisition, Goods Receipt and Material Variant Screens

Corrections found while writing the Procurement and Material Management UAT scripts: permission-aware buttons on the Purchase Requisition and Goods Receipt pages, the Material Variants and Service form screens, and variant attribute handling.

Procurement Global
New Feature

Hire-to-Retire Demonstration Walkthrough

A guided, step-by-step demonstration of the whole employee life: hire, time, assets, pay, loans, performance, employee relations and retire. Each click on Next performs one step and saves one real record.

It runs only against a local, demo (bizworks) or QA tenant, and never against a live tenant.

System Global
New Feature

Launch the Walkthrough From the Web App

A new /demo page starts, stops and watches the walkthrough from the browser. It needs the special permission test.run_walkthrough (administrators are not exempt) and is available only on demo, QA or local hosts.

System Global
New Feature

UAT Scripts for Procurement and Material Management

New acceptance test scripts UAT-PR-001 to 004 (Procurement) and UAT-MM-001 to 004 (Material Management).

Procurement Global
Security Update

RFQ Workflow Actions Now Require the Change Permission

Send, record quote, award and convert-to-PO on a Request for Quotation changed the RFQ but were gated only by the view permission, so a view-only user could drive the whole workflow with a direct request. They now require srm.change_rfq, matching the buttons the screen already hid.

Procurement Global
3.48.0

Balance Transfer Across AP, AR and GL

September 29, 2026
Production

One screen to move open items and advances between vendors, customers and GL accounts, with a park-then-post approval by a different person.

New Feature

Balance Transfer - Vendor, Customer and GL Clearing

A new screen, Balance Transfer, moves a balance between accounts in five directions: vendor to customer, vendor to vendor, vendor to GL, customer to customer and customer to GL.

  • The source gives up its open items, fully or partly; the target receives the amount. One journal and both sub-ledgers are written in one transaction.
  • A cleared vendor invoice can never be paid again by a payment run.
  • Simulate shows every refusal and the journal before anything is posted; reversing contra-posts the journal and re-opens every item.
  • Control, receivable, payable and advance accounts are refused as GL targets.
Finance Global
New Feature

Balance Transfer - Park and Post Approval, and Advances

A transfer is first parked - validated and numbered, with its items earmarked but no journal - and then posted by a different person; the person who parked it can never post it, administrators included. A parked transfer can be edited or discarded with a reason, and a parked vendor invoice is held out of payment runs.

Advances can now be the source too: vendor advance payments and down payment requests, and customer unapplied receipts. A customer credit lands so it can still be applied later in Payment Allocation.

Finance Global
3.47.10

Cash Journal - Reverse a Posted Transaction

September 29, 2026
Production

A posted cash journal transaction can now be reversed with a contra journal instead of standing uncorrectable; delete is unchanged for anything not yet posted.

New Feature

Cash Journal - Reverse Posted Transactions, Delete Unposted Ones

A posted cash journal transaction can now be reversed: it posts a contra journal on the original posting date, so the GL cash account and the cash book - which only counts posted entries - stay in agreement day by day. A reason is required, and the reversal is refused by name on a closed cash day, a locked period, a transaction with no GL journal, a second reversal, or an inflow reversal that would overdraw the till.

Delete now covers every never-posted status (Draft, Rejected, Cancelled); a posted transaction is refused with a message pointing to Reverse instead. Both actions are on the grid and the detail page.

Finance Global
3.47.11

Automated UAT Execution and Grid Layout Fixes

September 29, 2026
Production

UAT scripts can now be run automatically against the real screens; the pilot run on Customers found three defects in how every grid remembers its layout, now fixed. Plus CRM UAT scripts and the Additional Motivation Pay help documentation.

Bug Fix

Data Grids - Remembered Layouts, Re-Hidden Columns and Export Names

Three defects in the saved-layout behaviour shared by every Syncfusion grid, found while piloting automated UAT on the Customers screen:

  • A sorted grid never remembered its layout - saving the sort order copied Syncfusion objects that point back at their own parent, which made the save silently fail across 74 grids. It now saves a plain sort record.
  • A column hidden and saved was not re-hidden on reload, because the restore matched on the column's display text instead of its field name, across 60 grids.
  • A grid's Excel export named its file with a UTC date, which could read a day ahead of the user's local date near midnight; it now uses the local date.
System Global
New Feature

Help Documentation - Additional Motivation Pay

New help articles covering the Additional Motivation Payment (AMP) module - the un-account overtime stream, how an approved OT day is split into payroll and AMP hours against the plant ceiling, and how it is paid.

Human Resources Global
New Feature

Automated UAT Execution With Playwright

A UAT script can now be run automatically: Playwright drives the real screens through each step and files the verdict on the UAT Testing screen as an AUTOMATED result with a screenshot. A failed step records FAIL and blocks the rest of its case; a step the harness cannot perform is left Not run for a tester. An automated run never signs off - a person still does that.

Automation runs only against the demo tenant bizworks, a QA tenant whose identifier starts with “qa”, or a dev database, judged from the database the request lands on. UAT-MD-001 (Customers) is the pilot script.

System Global
New Feature

UAT Scripts for CRM

New acceptance test scripts covering Quotations (including revision/versioning), Sales Orders, the Merchandising Dashboard and the Sales Order Summary with Photos.

CRM Global
Security Update

Test Credentials Moved Out of Tracked Files

The automated end-to-end test setup carried an admin username and password in plain text in tracked files. Those values now load from a git-ignored .env file (with the keys documented in .env.example), and an environment variable set by CI takes precedence. A missing value stops the test run and names the missing key rather than falling back to a default.

System Global
3.47.7

Accounts Receivable and HR/HRM UAT Scripts

September 28, 2026
Production

A large batch of acceptance test scripts covering Accounts Receivable, GST recon/refund, GL and period-close, and the HR and HRM modules (recruitment, employment history, print forms, travel, time management, org management, performance and the HRM dashboard) - plus the defects two of them found.

Bug Fix

Receivables Dashboard - Unallocated Receipts Always Read Zero

The Unallocated Receipts KPI on the Receivables Dashboard was hard-coded to 0.00 regardless of how many on-account or partly-applied receipts a company actually held. It now sums the unapplied balance on open payment ledger rows.

Finance Global
Bug Fix

Payslip Template - Read-Only Fields Not Enforced

The Payslip Template serializer’s read_only_fields were written after a method definition inside Meta, where Django never sees them, so id, created_at and updated_at were silently writable on save. They are now honoured.

Human Resources Global
New Feature

UAT Scripts for Accounts Receivable and GL

New scripts covering AR setup, receipt entry and reversal, payment and mass allocation, customer reconciliation, dunning, direct invoices, debit/credit notes, the GST advance receipt voucher, GST recon and refund claims, netting reports, journal entries, the GL ledger and payments, bank operations, period close and FX, Schedule III, financial statements and consolidation/XBRL, and financial setup and reports access.

The Employee Master script moves to Master Data as UAT-MD-005 (it was UAT-HR-026) - the screen belongs with the other masters even though it still lives on the Human Resources menu.

System Global
New Feature

UAT Scripts for HR and HRM

New scripts covering recruitment pipeline, employment history, print forms, employee personnel detail, separation/exit, travel (setup, request/approval, advances, expense claims, desk booking), shift roster and time management (shift masters, roster publish, attendance/device integration, time evaluation, short permission, overtime and compensatory leave, ESS leave/permission, HR absence entry), organisation management (setup masters, positions/org chart, staffing access), performance (goals, check-ins, cycles/appraisals, competency calibration, 360° feedback, talent, training compliance, setup access), statutory filings (registrations, calendar readiness, carry-ins, Form 16, lifecycle prepare/approve, access control), and the HRM dashboard (overview/workforce, time/cost/compliance, actions/reports, setup/access).

Human Resources Global
3.47.3

Material Variants From a Single Axis

September 26, 2026
Production

Create Material from Reference now builds variants when only colours or only sizes are chosen, instead of requiring both.

Bug Fix

Create Material From Reference - Single-Axis Variants

Create Material from Reference only built variants when both colours and sizes were chosen, so a size-only material (size labels) or a colour-only one (fabrics) got no variants at all. It now runs over whichever axes are given; the both-axes codes and names are unchanged. Applies to the Material Variants page and the PO Import master-data step, which share the same service.
