What we shipped, in plain language.

Resolved rendering errors in the Tasks calendar view when tasks span month boundaries, and fixed message ordering in the in-app chat for tasks with high message volume.

Improved dunning letter generation performance and added a CRM delivery-quantity inventory check that warns the sales rep when confirmed stock is insufficient at order confirmation.

The 3-step approval workflow for Textile Costing has been simplified: the Managing Director approval step has been removed. Costings now require only TC Manager and Commercial Head sign-off, reducing approval turnaround time.

The Budget Control System (BCS) provides organisation-wide budgetary control.

• Budget Types — define annual, quarterly, or project-based budget frameworks with cost-centre and cost-element hierarchies.
• Budget Documents — create and approve budget allocations per cost centre and period; version control tracks original vs supplement budgets.

Two supporting features that complete the MBE module.

• Analytics — configurable time windows (7 / 30 / 60 / 90 days) showing severity breakdown progress bars, weekly detection trend bars, resolution stats (count + average ageing at resolution), and a Syncfusion Grid of the top rules by open exception count. Access via Exception Cockpit → Analytics (/mbe/analytics).
• Suppression Calendar — define date windows during which MBE notifications are suppressed (e.g. holiday freezes, planned outages). Detection still runs normally; only the notification step is skipped. Scope suppression to all rules or a specific list of rule codes. Access via Exception Cockpit → Suppression Calendar (/mbe/suppression). Requires the MBE Admin role.

Business users and administrators can create and manage exception rules through a visual form — no code required.

• Rule Builder — define the target business object, add condition rows (field / operator / value), and configure severity tiers with threshold-day boundaries and colour codes.
• 12 Supported Object Types — Sales Orders, Purchase Orders, Customer Invoices, Production Orders, Tasks, Inspection Lots, NCRs, CAPAs, AP Payments, Internal Orders, Front Desk Entries, and Contracts.
• Rule Activation / Deactivation — activate or deactivate rules without deleting them; rules with open exceptions cannot be deleted (a deactivate suggestion is offered instead).
• Daily Celery Scan — activated rules are evaluated at 02:30 every day and exceptions are created, updated, or closed automatically based on current data.
• Access via Exception Cockpit → Rules (/mbe/rules). Requires the MBE Admin role.

A full-featured exception list and detail view for MBE operators.

• Filterable Grid — filter by severity, status, rule code, business object type, and risk category; URL parameters pre-apply filters from cockpit drilldowns.
• Detail Drawer — click any exception to open a 460 px side drawer showing all exception fields, ageing, financial impact, and the full event timeline (detected → acknowledged → resolved).
• Deep Links — each exception carries a link to its source record (e.g. the Sales Order or Production Order) so operators can act immediately.
• Acknowledge & Resolve — operators can acknowledge or resolve exceptions directly from the drawer; status changes propagate to all connected cockpit sessions via WebSocket.
• Access via Exception Cockpit → Exceptions (/mbe/exceptions). Requires the MBE Operator role to act.

The Management by Exception (MBE) module gives management a real-time view of every open exception across the business, without having to drill into each module individually.

• Live Heat Map — a severity × business-object grid that shows exception counts at a glance; clicking any cell deep-links directly to the filtered exception list.
• Ageing Matrix — a Syncfusion PivotView breakdown of open exceptions by ageing bucket and severity, with risk exposure in Indian Rupees.
• WebSocket Live Updates — exception status changes and daily scan completions are pushed to the browser in real time; a live indicator shows the connection status.
• KPI Summary Cards — total Critical, High, and open exception counts with financial risk exposure at the top of the cockpit.
• Access via Exception Cockpit → Cockpit (/mbe). Requires the MBE Viewer role.

Follow-up improvements and a management command bug fix shipped after the initial QM release.

• Corrected a bug in the QM management command that caused an error when seeding QM master data on tenants with existing characteristic records.
• Enhanced inspection result entry UI with bulk-entry mode for high-volume characteristics.
• CAPA closure validation now enforces that all linked NCR actions are resolved before the CAPA can be marked effective.

The Quality Management module provides a comprehensive QMS that integrates with Procurement, Production, and Customer Service.

• Inspection Lots — create inspection lots triggered by goods receipts, in-process milestones, or customer shipments; record inspection results against a configurable characteristic master.
• Usage Decision — inspectors make Accept / Reject / Conditional Release decisions backed by recorded results; rejected lots automatically trigger NCR creation.
• Non-Conformance Reports (NCR) — track non-conformances from detection through root cause analysis to closure, with supplier or internal responsibility assignment.
• Corrective & Preventive Actions (CAPA) — link CAPA records to NCRs; three-level approval workflow (Quality Manager → Quality Auditor) before actions are marked effective.
• Customer Complaints — log and track customer quality complaints through investigation and resolution, with automatic linkage to the originating Sales Invoice.
• Audits — plan and execute internal or supplier quality audits; record findings and track corrective actions to closure.
• Calibration Management — maintain a calibration register for measuring equipment with scheduled recall dates and calibration history.
• QM Master Data — configurable inspection characteristics, sampling procedures, defect codes, and quality control plans.
• Analytics Dashboard — rejection rates, CAPA cycle time, complaint trends, and calibration compliance KPIs visualised at /qm/analytics.

Improvements to the Missing Parts view in Production Planning.

• Missing Parts report now correctly computes available stock by accounting for already-issued quantities against open production orders.
• Clean Architecture compliance applied to the Production Planning module, aligning it with the project-wide structural standard.

The new Stock Audit module gives warehouse managers a structured workflow for physical inventory verification.

• Audit Creation — define the scope of the count (all materials, by storage location, or by material group) and generate count sheets for warehouse staff.
• Physical Count Entry — staff record actual quantities per bin location; the system withholds the book quantity until count confirmation to avoid biasing the count.
• Variance Analysis — side-by-side comparison of book quantity vs physical count with variance amount and percentage, highlighted for over/under discrepancies.
• Variance Adjustment Posting — approved variances automatically post inventory adjustment journal entries to Financial Accounting against the configured stock adjustment GL account.
