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
3.59.0

Garment costing parity, below-cost approval and sample cost tracking

October 24, 2026
Production

Garment costing now uses expense bands, buyer terms, target pass/fail checks and below-cost approval, PLM samples show their cost, and Garment Costing has its own licence.

Improvement

Ship and bank expense come from order-quantity bands

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.

Textile Costing Global
Improvement

Garment Costing is licensed separately from Textile Costing

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

System Global
New Feature

Buyer commercial terms fill in new costings

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.

Textile Costing Global
New Feature

Target, need, gap and PASS/FAIL on every costing

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.

Textile Costing Global
New Feature

Below-cost costings need approval before they can be approved

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.

Textile Costing Global
New Feature

Choose how overhead is calculated

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

Textile Costing Global
New Feature

Commercial Masters and Costing Results pages, plus costing sheet print

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.

Textile Costing Global
New Feature

Sample cost and courier dispatch for PLM samples

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.

3.60.0

Automatic bundle generation for cutting notes

October 24, 2026
Production

Cutting notes can now generate their bundle lines automatically from the lay slip's rolls, marker ratios and Nr of Markers per size.

New Feature

Warnings and checks before generating

Generation is refused with a clear reason if the lay slip has no roll-wise lay records, or if a chosen roll is already bundled on another cutting note. It also warns about rolls with no bits recorded and about applied down-size re-cuts, which you adjust by hand.

Production Global
New Feature

Generate bundles automatically on a cutting note

A draft cutting note can now create its bundle lines for you, by size and by roll, based on the bits on each roll, the marker's size ratio and the Nr of Markers. You can preview the lines first, choose which rolls to include, and replace lines already on the note.

Production Global
New Feature

Marker sizes matched to order sizes

Marker sizes from CAD are matched to the production order's sizes automatically where the match is clear (for example 3-6 to 3/6M). Where it isn't, you choose the order size, and generation is blocked until you do.

Production Global
New Feature

Nr of Markers per size on the lay slip

The lay slip form now lets you enter the Nr of Markers for each size, which controls how many pieces go into one bundle. A size you leave blank uses 2.

Production 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.

Analytics 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

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

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

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

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 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
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 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

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
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
3.58.1

Credit-blocked sales orders now reach the approver's Inbox

October 23, 2026
Production

Sales orders blocked by credit control now reliably start an approval, and you are told on screen when no approver is available.

Bug Fix

No more stuck approvals when nobody can approve

If no other active user holds the credit approval role, the order no longer leaves a half-started approval that blocks later attempts. You are told which role to assign, and you can re-run the credit check afterwards.

CRM Global
Bug Fix

Credit-blocked orders now start the approval workflow

Sales orders blocked for credit at creation previously started no approval and never reached anyone's Inbox. They now start the credit approval and appear in the approver's Inbox.

CRM Global
New Feature

Backfill approvals for orders already credit-blocked

Administrators can start the credit approval for orders that are already blocked and never got one. A preview mode lets them check the affected orders first.

CRM Global
New Feature

Message box for outcomes beside your action

When an order saves but a follow-up step can't complete, a message box now explains it. It shows an error code and a link to a help note. The first case is a credit approval that has no approver.

System Global
3.58.2

Faster list screens and fixes to blank unit and currency columns

October 23, 2026
Production

Many list screens now load faster, and the unit and currency columns that showed blank now display correctly.

Bug Fix

Currency now shows in the credit exposure grid

The currency column in the credit exposure grid was blank. It now shows the currency's ISO code.

Finance Global
Bug Fix

Unit column now filled in on orders, returns and delivery notes

The unit of measure was blank on job work orders, sales return lines, sales order lines and delivery note lines. It now shows the unit's symbol, or its name if it has no symbol. Sorting or filtering by Unit in the Sales Order Line Item report no longer fails.

CRM Global
Improvement

Faster CRM lists

Opportunities, leads, quotations, job work orders, customer addresses and seasons open faster, especially when there are many rows. Opportunity lists also convert revenue to INR more quickly.

CRM Global
Improvement

Credit exposure grid loads much faster

The credit exposure grid now works out open receivables and open orders for all customers together, so it loads faster with large customer lists. The figures are calculated the same way as before.

Finance Global
Improvement

Faster master data, partner and other list screens

Business partners, regions, districts, units of measure, hierarchy types, tax sections and many lists in finance, HR, production planning, POS, projects and inventory now load faster.

System Global
Improvement

Audit log model filter opens faster

The model-name dropdown on the audit log used to take about two seconds on large audit trails. It now loads much faster.

System Global
3.58.3

Faster Deliveries grid and lighter list screens across modules

October 23, 2026
Production

The Deliveries grid now loads one page at a time, a Dispute form picker bug is fixed, and many list screens load faster.

Bug Fix

Dispute form customer picker shows all delivery notes

The delivery note picker on the Dispute form was cut off at a customer's first 50 notes. It now lists all of them.

CRM Global
Improvement

Master Bags list loads faster

The Master Bags grid no longer loads the bundle detail for every bag. The detail page and labels still show the bundles.

Production Global
Improvement

POS returns list loads faster

The POS returns list now loads a lighter set of data for each return.

Other Global
Improvement

Deliveries grid loads much faster

The Deliveries grid now loads one page of 50 rows at a time, so it opens in a fraction of a second instead of loading every delivery note up front. Search, sorting, column filters and Excel export now run across all deliveries, and the pivot view loads the full set only when you open it.

CRM Global
Improvement

Finance list screens open faster

Set-off Runs, Direct Invoices, Budget Documents, the Payment Instrument register and Depreciation Keys now load only the header information the grid shows. Set-off Runs fetch a run's lines when you open it. Direct Invoices still show the line count and the debit and credit totals.

Finance Global
Improvement

Offers, recoveries and bonus lines load faster

The Offers and Objects-on-Loan Recoveries lists no longer load nested detail they don't display. The Bonus lines list also loads faster.

Human Resources Global
Improvement

EHS Incidents list loads faster

The Incidents list now calculates action, attachment and comment counts in a single pass instead of several lookups per incident. The numbers shown are unchanged.
