3.62.5

Purchase orders for assets can now be invoiced from the vendor invoice form

October 27, 2026
Production

Purchase orders made up of asset lines now appear in the vendor invoice PO picker and can be billed against their Asset Receipts.

Bug Fix

Asset lines no longer fail with a missing Unit of Measure

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.

Finance Global
Bug Fix

Asset purchase orders appear in the vendor invoice PO picker

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.

Finance Global
Bug Fix

Asset receipt lines now count as billed once invoiced

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.

Finance Global
Improvement

Asset lines are labelled and have clearer error messages

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.

3.62.0

TNA lead-time templates, automatic milestone completion and PP meetings

October 26, 2026
Production

Order TNA milestones now follow lead-time bands, complete themselves from the documents that prove them, and a new production-planning (PP) meeting with sign-off is available.

Improvement

Manual milestone dates now need permission and a reason

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.

CRM Global
Improvement

Late-completion e-mails no longer slow down saving

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.

CRM Global
New Feature

TNA setup screen for bands and event mapping

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.

CRM Global
New Feature

Purchase orders record their approval time

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

Procurement Global
New Feature

Lead-time bands for TNA templates

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.

CRM Global
New Feature

TNA milestones complete automatically from transactions

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.

CRM Global
New Feature

Production-planning (PP) meetings with sign-off

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.

CRM Global
New Feature

TNA adherence report

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.

3.62.1

Colour and Size now recognised by role, not attribute code

October 26, 2026
Production

Variant attributes can now be marked as Colour or Size, so the order matrix and related screens work even when your codes differ from the defaults.

Bug Fix

Production planning picks up Colour and Size by role

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.

Production Global
Bug Fix

Goods receipt and cut-panel receipt handle custom Colour/Size codes

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

Inventory Global
Bug Fix

Size master in measurements uses the Size role

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

Quality Management Global
Bug Fix

Sales Order Matrix works with custom Colour and Size codes

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.

CRM Global
Bug Fix

Customer PO import, delivery and order screens follow the Colour/Size role

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.

CRM Global
New Feature

Set a Colour or Size role on Variant Attributes

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.

Inventory Global
3.62.2

Merchandising KPIs, alerts and scheduled reports

October 26, 2026
Production Breaking changes

The Merchandising dashboard now shows a row of KPIs, an alerts list with acknowledgement, configurable targets, and scheduled KPI reports.

New Feature

KPI row on the Merchandising dashboard

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.

CRM Global
New Feature

Merchandising alerts

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.

CRM Global
New Feature

Configurable KPI and alert settings

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.

CRM Global
New Feature

Scheduled merchandising KPI reports

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.

CRM Global
New Feature

New permission for merchandising KPIs

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

System Global Breaking change
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

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
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
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.

System Global
3.61.1

Production planning: capacity refresh, scheduling and capacity screen fixes

October 26, 2026
Production

Refreshing capacity now works and reports clearly what happened, released orders are prioritised correctly, and several capacity, search and form defects are fixed.

Bug Fix

Capacity refresh now works

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.

Production Global
Bug Fix

Released orders no longer rank as least urgent

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.

Production Global
Bug Fix

Capacity profiles can be saved from the form

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.

Production Global
Bug Fix

Maintenance slots no longer count as available hours

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.

Production Global
Bug Fix

Production order search no longer errors

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

Production Global
Improvement

Operations show whether they are actually scheduled

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.

Production Global
Improvement

Generate Schedule stops when capacity can't be refreshed

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.

Production Global
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

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

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
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

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

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

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

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

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
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

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
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

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
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
3.60.5

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
3.60.7

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.
