What we shipped, in plain language.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Ship and bank expense per piece are now read from the band that matches the order quantity. The buyer's own band table is used first, otherwise the generic table, based on the costing date.

Garment Costing is now its own licensed feature. Existing tenants keep the same access they had before.

A new costing starts with the buyer's commission, credit days, bank interest and banking charges. Changing one of them needs a stated reason, and the costing is flagged as differing from the terms.

Each costing shows the buyer target, the price needed to cover cost, the gap and a PASS or FAIL result. If there is no target or rate, it shows "Not available" and never PASS.

Submitting a costing that fails starts an approval based on the size of the gap: Merchandising Manager (0 to -2%), CEO (-2 to -5%), or CEO and Executive Director (beyond -5%). The costing cannot be approved or final-approved until this approval is done.

Each company can calculate overhead as a percentage, as a rate per SMV minute, or as a rate per SMV minute with idle capacity.

New Commercial Masters page for managing expense bands, buyer terms, below-cost bands and costing settings. A new Costing Results report lists costings with target, need, gap, result and approver. A costing sheet can now be printed.

Each sample shows its cost: material from goods issues made against the sample, labour minutes, outside work and courier. Courier dispatch records the AWB and delivery confirmation, sends an overdue notice and prints a courier note. Each style shows its development cost.
