What we shipped, in plain language.

Two new roles and permissions control sampling set-up, table verification, switching decisions and inline checks. The Quality Manager can no longer verify tables or make switching decisions, so those users need the Head of Quality role.

Existing High defects become Major, and Medium and Low become Minor. Inspectors can raise a class by one step with a reason. Only the Quality Manager can lower a class.

New screens cover Sampling Tables, Sampling Schemes and set-up, Switching Keys and Inspection Reports. The inspection lot page also has a Sampling panel.

Sample sizes and accept/reject numbers now come from the Z1.4 tables, with normal, tightened and reduced inspection. Nothing is sampled until the Head of Quality verifies a table set. Each lot keeps its plan, and Critical, Major and Minor classes are each judged on the whole sample. Completing an inspection needs the full sample, and going against the verdict needs a reason and the Quality Manager.

Sampling schemes are set per customer, supplier or material group, or as a plant default. Buyer-and-style and supplier-and-material combinations move between normal, tightened, reduced, skip and discontinued based on lot results. Every change is logged, and the Head of Quality can set safe launch.

A new tablet screen at /qm/capture covers the work list, AQL audits, measurement checks by size, and packing and carton audits. Saved entries are never duplicated if a request is repeated, unsaved work stays on the device, and photos are compressed before upload.

Inline QC can record timed rounds on sewing lines and rate them Green, Amber or Red. Re-checks are supported, and missed rounds are shown in the plant's local time. After three Reds, an NCR is proposed.

You can print the Final Inspection Report, Inline Inspection Report, Measurement Report and Packing and Carton Audit Report. Reprinted Final Inspection Reports are marked COPY.

Removed BOM lines, operation assignments and routing operations were still being reserved and could be issued. They are now excluded. A refreshed reservation also records who refreshed it.

If reservations fail or some components can't be reserved when you release a production order, a message now tells you. Before, nothing was shown and the order arrived at goods issue with nothing to issue.

Reservations can be created only for Released or In Progress orders, and error messages name the specific gaps. A problem with variant lines now shows a clear message instead of a server error. A missing material snapshot is filled in, and issued quantities are recalculated.

When a production order has no reservations, a Create Reservations button appears on the screen. A refresh icon beside the status chip updates existing reservations after a BOM, assignment or quantity change, and issued quantities are kept.

The Goods Issue for Production screen now shows a warning that names the BOM components that have no reservation. It also says why, for example no routing, an empty BOM, or a component not assigned to an operation.

Tick assets in the Asset Register and choose Print Asset Tags to print 50 × 50 mm stickers, two across a roll. Ticks apply to the rows on the current page, and each tag's QR code opens the Machine Breakdown page when scanned with a phone camera.

Administrators get a new Asset Tag Printer page in the Administrator menu. It sets the sticker size, margins, columns, rows per page and page orientation. It also has a live preview and a test print. The layout is saved once and used by every PC that prints asset tags. Only administrators can change it.

Saves that only change automatic bookkeeping values, such as who last touched a record or a session's last activity time, no longer add an audit log entry. Entries appear when a real field changes. Finance documents under statutory protection are still logged on every edit.

The audit log storage is now compacted every Sunday at 03:00 IST, only when enough space can be recovered. Saves made during that short window may wait briefly.

A purchase order whose lines are all asset lines never showed up when choosing POs on the vendor invoice form, so it could not be invoiced. Orders with posted Asset Receipts are now listed alongside those with goods receipts or service entries.

Invoice lines created from an Asset Receipt now keep their link to that receipt when saved. The receipt is therefore marked as billed and can no longer be invoiced a second time.

When an Asset Receipt line has no unit, the invoice line now uses the unit from the purchase order line. Previously the form rejected these lines with an error the user could not fix.

Invoice lines billed from an Asset Receipt show an AR badge with the receipt number. The missing GL account and missing cost center messages now explain what to fix for asset lines, and the empty-PO message mentions Asset Receipts.

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.

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

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.

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.

Capacity Planning utilisation and daily summaries counted slots blocked for maintenance as available time. They now count only open slots, which matches the capacity requirements report.

Searching the Production Orders list failed with a server error. It now searches by order number, material code and name, and customer.

Released production orders were treated as having no work left, so their critical ratio was infinite and they sat at the bottom of the scheduling worklist. Remaining work now includes released and firmed operations.

Saving a capacity profile did nothing when efficiency was 1.00, and the minute fields rejected values that were not multiples of 15. Both now accept any valid value.

Refreshing capacity profiles for a plant used to fail every time. It now rebuilds capacity from the shift calendar for each work centre and shows how many were rebuilt and which failed. If the plant has no active shift calendar, it tells you so.

If capacity can't be refreshed, Generate Schedule now shows the reason and stops. Before, it could schedule against out-of-date capacity. The refresh also accepts a number of days ahead between 1 and 366.

Operations without their own dates display the order's dates. Each operation now also reports whether it has been scheduled, so you can tell the two cases apart.

Entering a completion date by hand needs a specific permission. A reason is required when a transaction or buyer approval normally completes that milestone. Dates written by a transaction or approval can't be overwritten by hand; reverse the document instead.

The e-mail sent when a milestone completes late is now sent in the background after the change is saved, so saving no longer waits for the e-mail.

Lead-time bands (days from order date to due date) can be defined, and TNA templates can be stored per band. Each order picks the matching template, and re-phasing an order keeps its band unless you choose to rebase. Bands in the same scope cannot overlap, and the default template set now includes one per band.

Purchase orders now store when they were approved. This time is used to complete the matching TNA milestone.

A new setup page lets merchandising leads manage lead-time bands and choose which event completes each milestone kind. Changing templates and bands now needs the template management permission.

A new report shows milestones completed on time, late, overdue or still open, by milestone kind. You can filter it by customer, band or merchandiser.

PP meetings are built from template sections and lines, with one pending sign-off per role. Only role holders can sign off. Signing off completes the PP milestone, and open points become tasks on the order board. There is a printable PP meeting form and a register of meetings.

Milestones are completed by the document that proves them, such as PO approval, receipts, quality lots, PP sign-off, cutting notes, scans, final audit and dispatch. If that document is reversed, the milestone reopens. Each milestone shows what completed it, and a Refresh button re-checks an order on demand. An hourly check also catches missed updates.

The quality measurement size master now reads sizes from the attribute marked as Size, regardless of its code.

Production planning matrices, material requirements colour combining, BOM checks, the fabric programme chart and the BOM wizard value picker now work when Colour and Size use non-standard codes. The BOM wizard no longer creates a second Colour attribute.

Goods receipt matrices, cut-panel receipts and the material variants grid now find Colour and Size by role.

If your Colour or Size attribute used a different code from the standard ones, the Sales Order Matrix showed no grid. This could let an order save a required material without a variant. The matrix now finds the Colour and Size axes however they are coded.

PO import colour and size options and matching, delivery matrices, order processing and variant exports now use your Colour and Size attributes by role instead of fixed codes.

The Variant Attributes screen now has a Role setting (Colour or Size). Each role can be used by only one active attribute, and a second Colour is refused. Existing attributes are set automatically from their code or an unambiguous name.

A settings panel lets administrators set sample turnaround targets (overall or per sample type), the number of days before a slipped milestone is escalated, and the on-time and in-full tolerances. It also sets which roles are notified.

A daily list and a Monday morning KPI pack are now available as scheduled reports. KPI figures are refreshed every night, and are also refreshed when you open the dashboard if they have not yet been refreshed that day.

Viewing merchandising KPIs and alerts requires a new permission, which administrators can assign through roles. Changing the settings requires the existing merchandising configuration permission.

The Merchandising dashboard shows a row of eight KPIs, including on-time in-full delivery, for a chosen period (week, month, last week, last month, rolling 30 or 90 days, or custom). You can filter by customer and merchandiser and drill into the records behind each figure. Merchants see only the orders they handle, and margin and costing accuracy figures appear only for users who may view order profitability.

A new Alerts tab lists alerts for slipped milestones, late samples and similar conditions. Alerts are checked hourly and sent to the people responsible. A slipped milestone that stays late is escalated to the Merchandising Manager. You can acknowledge a fired alert, and alerts clear on their own when the condition is resolved.
