What we shipped, in plain language.

Every release to Biztimize — new features, improvements, fixes, and breaking changes — documented here, for everyone. No marketing gloss.

3.54.1

Material Variants Across Procurement, Production and Reports

October 11, 2026
Production

Materials stocked by size or colour now carry the variant from the purchase requisition to the goods issue and into the reports.

Improvement

Planning and Component Consumption per Variant

Material planning now counts open requisitions, purchase orders, stock and reorder points per variant, and a combined production order is no longer counted once per size.

  • Components can take the parent's variant, a mapped variant or a fixed one; unresolved components are reported, never defaulted.
  • Production reservations, goods issue, back-flush and sub-contract issue and return carry the component variant.
Other Global
New Feature

Cover, Open PO and Ageing Reports per Variant

Stock cover, open purchase order and inventory ageing reports can now be read by variant.

Analytics Global
New Feature

Variant-wise Stock and Reclassification

Materials set to require variant stock control now hold stock, batches and ledger entries per variant. Stock can be reclassified from one variant to another without any accounting entry, and a variant stock matrix shows the position by size and colour. Materials that do not require it post exactly as before.

Other Global
New Feature

Variant on Requisitions, RFQs, Purchase Orders and Receipts

Purchase requisition, RFQ, purchase order, sub-contract component and vendor invoice lines can now name a variant. The variant is carried through goods receipt (one batch per variant) and return.

  • Variant grids on the requisition and purchase order dialogs, and receive-by-variant on the goods receipt.
  • Per-variant supplier pricing and shade codes, with a maintenance screen.
Procurement Global
3.54.2

Finished Goods per Variant

October 11, 2026
Production

Delivery, point of sale, free-of-cost, job work and sales returns now work per size.

Bug Fix

Replacement Order From a Sales Return

Creating a replacement order from a sales return failed every time because no billing or shipping address was copied. It now succeeds.

CRM Global
Bug Fix

Sales Returns Restock Goods at the Delivery Cost

A customer return now puts the goods back in stock at the cost they were issued at, with a matching accounting entry (stock debited, cost of sales credited), one delivery per receipt line. Deliveries that issued nothing are reported rather than restocked. Point-of-sale returns could not restock before and now do.

CRM Global
New Feature

Finished Goods Stocked and Delivered per Variant

Deliveries take the variant from the sales order line and use only that variant's stock and batches. The point of sale checks availability per variant and lists a variant-stocked product one row per variant. Free-of-cost deliveries and job work lines carry a variant too, and a sales order shows size-level availability.

CRM Global
3.54.3

Release Production Orders While Editing

October 11, 2026
Production

A production order can be saved and released in one step.

Bug Fix

Release Now Freezes the Reference Standard Cost

The Release action skipped the standard cost freeze that Change Status performs. Every route to Released now goes through the same status service.

Other Global
Improvement

Save & Release on the Production Order Form

The status field on the edit form is locked, so an order could not be released while editing. A new Save & Release button saves the order and releases it.

Other Global
3.52.7

Email Channel Administration

October 10, 2026
Production

Platform email channels can be tested from the admin, and digest emails use each company's own channel.

Bug Fix

Digest Emails Sent Through the Company's Own Email Channel

Management-by-Exception digest emails were sent without the company context, so they skipped the company's configured email channel and used the shared platform sender instead. Each company's digest now uses its own channel and records the send in its own log.

System Global
Improvement

Email Channel Passwords and Test Emails in the Admin

Platform administrators can now set the password or API key of an email channel (the value is never shown again; leaving it blank keeps the stored one) and send a test email from the channel form or the channel list. A failed test is reported as a message instead of an error page.

System Global
3.52.8

Session Security, Bundle Stickers and Separations Grid

October 10, 2026
Production

Company sessions are confined on the main site, bundle stickers print to your roll layout, and Separations uses the standard grid.

Improvement

Bundle Stickers Print to Your Roll Layout

Bundle labels now print on a roll of stickers laid out in a grid. Set the sticker size, stickers per row, gaps, print margin, shift, rows per page and orientation; the preview matches the printout and the layout is remembered in your browser. Label printers that create the gap themselves are supported so pages no longer drift.

Other Global
Improvement

Separations List on the Standard Grid

The Separations list now pages, searches, sorts and filters on the server, so it stays fast with many records.

  • Search also matches what the cells show, such as "pending" or "voluntary".
  • New filters for separation date range and regretted state, including exits not yet assessed.
  • A Pivot view tab and saved column layouts.
Human Resources Global
Security Update

Company Sessions Confined on the Main Site

A signed-in session from a company's address could be recognised on the main platform address with that company's administrator rights, reaching platform administration and shared content.

  • A company user is now accepted only on that company's own address, and on the main site is limited to what the platform allows a company user.
  • Support Desk agent status is granted only to platform users, so one company's administrator can no longer see tickets from other companies.
System Global
3.52.5

Reliable New Tenant Set-up

October 09, 2026
Production

Creating a new company from the template database now completes with its administrator access in place.

Bug Fix

New Company Set-up Completes With Administrator Access

Creating a company from the template database could fail while giving the first administrator their group and permissions, and a failed set-up could leave the server returning errors until it was restarted.

  • The administrator group and permissions are now saved in the new company's own database.
  • A company created while the server is running no longer opens a transaction on every request.
  • Set-up retries its database connection if the first attempt arrives while the database is still being re-created.
System Global
New Feature

Help Video Recorder

Help videos can now be recorded from a short script of captions and steps, converted to MP4 with a poster image and uploaded to the matching Help Centre article in one command. Re-recording replaces the earlier video and keeps its position and view history.

System Global
3.52.1

Partial Production Confirmation and Fixes

October 09, 2026
Production

Operations can be confirmed in several sittings with a rework quantity, plus fixes to the Production Order form, PO notes and balance-list exports.

Bug Fix

Complete Refuses an Operation Confirmed Short

The shop-floor Complete button closed an operation however much was still open, so 60,000 of 70,000 showed as Completed. It now refuses, states the open quantity, and points to Final Confirmation for a deliberate short close.

Production Global
Bug Fix

Production Order Form Opens for Editing

Opening an existing production order for editing crashed the form. It now opens normally.

Production Global
Bug Fix

Purchase Order Notes and Terms in Edit and Display

Editing a purchase order opened with blank notes, terms and addresses because the form used the list record. It now loads the full order, and the expanded grid row shows Notes and Terms.

Procurement Global
Bug Fix

Data Upload Matches Lookups in the Right Scope

A data upload matched a value such as a department name against every hierarchy, so a name that existed in two hierarchies matched twice and the row failed. A lookup now honours the field's own scope (for example, only the enterprise hierarchy for a department), and the upload template lists the same choices.

System Global
Improvement

Balance List Excel Shows Debit and Credit

The Vendor and Customer Balance List Excel export now has Opening and Closing Dr / Cr columns, including the totals row, so the sign of a balance is no longer ambiguous.

Finance Global
Improvement

Shop-Floor Work Orders Grid

  • Saved column layouts per user, column chooser, resizing, and Excel and PDF export.
  • Date columns filter by range (between, before, after) by day.
  • The sales order filter loads quickly from the operations themselves.
Production Global
New Feature

Partial Operation Confirmation

Production Confirmation now records what was produced in each sitting and adds it to the operation's totals. The operation stays In Progress until good plus scrapped reaches the order quantity, or the confirmation is marked Final to close it short.

  • A partial confirmation posts nothing; the closing one posts the back-flush, receipt and scrap once, on the cumulative quantities.
  • Two confirmations of the same operation at the same time both count.
Production Global
New Feature

Rework Quantity on Confirmation

A rework quantity can be keyed on confirmation. It is a record only: reworked pieces come back and are confirmed as good later, so they do not consume components, are not written off and are not received. Negative quantities are refused.

Production Global
New Feature

Statutory Bonus UAT Scripts and Help Articles

Five UAT scripts (setup, run and calculation, approval and payment, interim and supplementary runs, exit bonus and reports) and Help Centre articles for Statutory Bonus.

Human Resources Global
3.50.3

Help Centre Pages Restored

October 08, 2026
Production

Help Centre category, article and search pages open again.

Bug Fix

Help Centre Category, Article and Search Pages Open Again

Every Help Centre category, article and search results page returned a server error after the help content formatting update. The pages now load the formatting they need and open normally.

System Global
3.50.6

Demo Shell Browser Start-up

October 08, 2026
Production

The demo shell recognises an installed browser and no longer waits on a stuck installer.

Bug Fix

Demo Shell Starts Without Re-downloading the Browser

On Windows the browser installer could hang after the download, so every start of the demo shell downloaded Chromium again and never launched.

  • The shell now checks whether Chromium is actually installed rather than trusting the installer's exit.
  • A first install finishes as soon as the browser is complete, with a 15 minute limit.
System Global
3.50.7

Statutory Bonus

October 08, 2026
Production

Calculate, approve and pay statutory bonus under the Payment of Bonus Act, from payroll results to the bank file.

New Feature

Statutory Bonus Engine

Statutory bonus is calculated from released regular payroll results on the wage types flagged as bonus wages, with arrears counted in their original month. The Act is a floor: the employee receives the higher of the scheme and the statutory amount.

  • Bonus year per company with category rules, staff slabs, gift amounts and minimum wages; copy to a new year, close and reopen.
  • Bonus groups resolved from the assignment, payroll area or employee type.
  • Full, interim and supplementary runs: calculate, check (override, hold, disqualification, deduction), submit and approve (HR Manager, Management Auditor, MD).
  • Approval pays through one bonus off-cycle run per payroll area, with TDS, GL posting and bank files of up to ₹49 lakh each; confirm paid, or reverse before the bank file.
  • A month with no payroll result is reported as an exception, never counted as zero.
Human Resources Global
New Feature

Bonus in Final Settlement and Employee Self-Service

Final Settlement pulls the bonus due to a leaving employee, with an eligibility panel. Employees see their bonus under My Bonus in self-service, with a bilingual bonus slip.

Human Resources Global
New Feature

Statutory Bonus Reports and Forms

Audit report, abstract, bank statement, cash acquittance, exceptions, unpaid, exit, provision and year-on-year reports, plus statutory Form C and Form D.
