3.50.2

Referral Incentives and Off-Cycle Payroll

October 08, 2026
Production

Employee referral bonuses from hire to payment, an off-cycle payroll run, deduction carry-forward and an SMS gateway.

Improvement

One-Time Deductions Never Drive Net Pay Negative

Payroll now floors one-time deductions at net pay. The unrecovered remainder is carried and recovered when the run is approved.

Human Resources Global
New Feature

Referral Incentives UAT Scripts and Help Articles

UAT scripts and help articles covering the referral scheme, cases, release and payment.

Human Resources Global
New Feature

Referral Incentives

A versioned referral scheme with one case per referred hire, created when the hire is made. The qualifying-day counter reads attendance results and is recomputed, never incremented.

  • Release and pay through payroll, accounts payable (agent GST per partner) or an off-cycle batch.
  • Clawback when the referred employee separates; it reverses if the separation is withdrawn.
  • Public kiosk for referrals, and company / plant scoping.
Human Resources Global
New Feature

Off-Cycle Payroll Run

One-time payments are paid in a real off-cycle payroll run with marginal one-time TDS and a separate bank file.

Human Resources Global
New Feature

SMS Gateway and Templates

Configure an SMS gateway and templates per tenant. With none configured a message is logged as skipped rather than raising an error.

System Global
3.50.0

AP Credit Note Posting and Email Timeout

October 08, 2026
Production

AP credit notes now credit Trade Payables, and an unreachable mail host no longer stalls requests.

Bug Fix

Email Channel SMTP Timeout

An unreachable SMTP host held the request for minutes while workflow emails were sent. The connection now times out after 10 seconds.

System Global
Bug Fix

AP Credit Note Credits Trade Payables

Both AP notes are issued by us: the debit note reduces the payable and the credit note increases it. The credit note now posts Cr Trade Payables against the offset and input tax, appears as a credit in the vendor ledger, and is no longer offered as a credit to apply against invoices.

Finance Global
3.50.1

Supplier Invoice Management Walkthrough and Fixes

October 08, 2026
Production

A guided 35-step walkthrough and three fixes it found in matching, simulation and approval.

Bug Fix

Invoice Matching, Simulation and Approval Fixes

  • A price difference was filed as a quantity mismatch; each is now recorded as its own exception.
  • Simulate failed on an invoice line with no GL account; it now reports a blocker.
  • Approve and Reject worked at any status; they are now allowed only where valid and return a clear error otherwise.
Procurement Global
New Feature

Supplier Invoice Management Guided Walkthrough

A 35-step walkthrough with a generated training guide takes a presenter through capture, matching, approval and posting, proving each posting against the journal, Trade Payables and the vendor ledger.

System Global
3.49.33

Safer Posting Screens and Purchase Return Deliveries

October 07, 2026
Production

Finance forms save before they submit or post, Payments Received pages through every receipt, and purchase returns are delivered and settled as real shipments.

Bug Fix

Submit, Approve and Post Save Your Edits First

Submit, Approve and Post used to act on the last saved version, so an edited but unsaved form was posted with the old values. The form is now saved first on Journal Entry, Customer Receipts, Direct Invoice, Vendor and Non-PO invoices, Debit/Credit Notes, GL Payment and Bank Transaction.

  • Simulate on GL Payment and Bank Transaction saves a draft first, because the preview reads the saved record.
  • Once a document is posted, Simulate reads Display.
  • The Simulate dialogs carry Save / Submit / Approve / Post buttons, including Advance and Manual Payment.
Finance Global
Bug Fix

Payments Received Shows Every Receipt

The grid showed only the first 100 receipts and sorted and searched within that batch. It now pages, sorts, searches and filters columns on the server, and Excel export covers the whole result set.

Finance Global
Improvement

GST Receipt Vouchers on Their Own Page

The voucher panel is removed from the receipt form and now lives under GST in the sidebar, with a register of issued vouchers and an issue dialog over on-account receipts.

Finance Global
Improvement

Deprecated Vendor Reconciliation Package Removed

The retired FI-AP reconciliation package and its empty tables are removed. Nothing visible changes; AP permissions are unchanged.

System Global
New Feature

Purchase Return Deliveries and Auto-Settlement

  • A return order goods issue needs a Released order and is recorded as a delivery with its own transport, gate-out and vendor acknowledgement or dispute. Partial shipments are supported.
  • Optional per company: a fully shipped return settles itself, closing the order or raising the AP Debit Note as Draft, Approval or Auto-post. Failures are recorded and can be retried.
  • Goods billing nets returned goods that were not on a posted invoice, so a vendor cannot bill goods sent back.
  • e-Way Bill is refused without vehicle, transporter and distance.
Procurement Global
3.49.30

Hostel Management and Bundle Sticker Labels

October 07, 2026
Production

Worker hostels are managed end to end, from admission and bed allocation to gate movement, monthly charges through payroll and check-out. Bundle labels now print as 50 mm stickers.

Bug Fix

Hostel - Consent, Food Cost and Group Change Fixes

  • A consent question left blank is no longer saved; Record stays disabled until every question is answered.
  • The Hostel Manager can now mark guardian consent as not applicable on a draft request, with a reason.
  • Food cost per resident-day is entered on Hostel Charges; Hostel Setup shows it read-only.
  • The employee master Hostel tab lists only pending employee group changes.
Human Resources Global
Bug Fix

UAT - Travel Scripts Renumbered

The Travel Management UAT scripts shared their codes with the Time Management scripts, so loading one replaced the other. Travel is now UAT-HR-086 to UAT-HR-090, the Time scripts are restored, and existing Travel test runs move to the new codes.

System Global
Improvement

Bundle Labels Print as 50 mm Stickers

Cutting room bundle labels now print as 50 mm x 50 mm stickers, one label per page, with the Bundle No and a scannable QR code. The on-screen preview matches the printed label exactly.

Production Global
New Feature

Hostel Management

A new Hostel group under Real Estate manages worker hostels. A hostel is set up on a Real Estate property of type Hostel; its rooms and beds come from the property's spaces.

  • Admission - a hostel request with a voluntary declaration, rules acknowledgement, emergency contacts and guardian consent where required, approved in up to two levels.
  • Check-in, beds and transfers - bed status (vacant, occupied, held, blocked) is worked out from the residents; bed and hostel transfers are recorded.
  • Movement - out and in, overdue returns, native leave and the night strength count. Gate device punches are recorded as movement, never as attendance.
  • Visitors, incidents and damage - damage is recovered only after the Hostel Manager approves it; suspension and eviction come from an Employee Relations order.
  • Monthly charges - rent and food are calculated from the nights stayed and deducted in payroll; net pay is never driven negative and the balance is carried forward.
  • Self-service - employees see their hostel on /ess/my-hostel; check-out joins the separation clearance. Ten hostel reports are included.
Human Resources Global
New Feature

Hostel Management - UAT Scripts and Help Documents

Seven UAT scripts (UAT-HR-079 to UAT-HR-085, 64 test cases) cover hostel setup, admission, check-in, movement, visitors and incidents, charges, self-service and check-out. Twelve help articles explain each hostel screen.

System Global
3.49.28

Procure-to-Pay Demo and Payment Safeguards

October 06, 2026
Production

A guided Procure-to-Pay walkthrough for presenters, and three fixes it found: draft invoices can no longer be paid, approved requisitions record their approver, and zero-quantity lines are refused.

Bug Fix

Manual Payment Refuses an Unposted Invoice

A manual payment could be made against a draft, blocked, cancelled or reversed vendor invoice. The payment is now refused, naming the invoice and its status. Only posted invoices can be paid.

Finance Global
Bug Fix

Purchase Requisition - Approver and Quantity Checks

  • A requisition set to approved now records who approved it and when.
  • A requisition line with quantity 0 is refused.
Procurement Global
Bug Fix

Demo Bundle Publishes After Every Deploy

The demo bundle publish step was being skipped on merge builds, so new walkthroughs did not reach presenters. It now runs on every production build, uploads only when the content has changed, and uses the server's own storage settings.

System Global
New Feature

Procure-to-Pay Guided Demo Walkthrough

A new guided walkthrough takes a presenter through the full purchase cycle in 25 steps: requisition, two purchase orders, two goods receipts, two vendor invoices built from the receipts, a part and a final payment, and the PO History trace.

Every step is checked against stock, GR/IR, input tax, Trade Payables, the bank and the vendor ledger.

System Global
3.49.26

GL Open Items References, Employee Form and HR Menu

October 06, 2026
Production

GL Open Items show the real Bill No / Cheque No, the Employee Master form becomes a full page, the Human Resources menu is reorganised, and attendance-agent registration is fixed.

Bug Fix

Attendance Integration - Agent Registration and Plant Time Zone

  • Registering an attendance agent failed with a server error on every tenant. It now works.
  • Creating a shift swap request no longer fails.
  • A plant time zone must be a name such as Asia/Kolkata; offsets such as "GMT+5:30" are refused, and existing ones are converted to Asia/Kolkata.
Human Resources Global
Bug Fix

Demo Walkthroughs - Wage Types and Local Connections

  • The Hire-to-Retire Pay stage uses the standard House Rent and Conveyance Allowance wage types every tenant has.
  • The demo connects to local tenants on Windows machines that cannot resolve *.localhost.
System Global
Bug Fix

GL Open Items - Rows Appear Without a Page Change

  • The grid no longer stays blank after loading or after choosing another account until the page is changed.
  • When an account is flagged for open items but has none yet, the page says so and offers Build from history.
Finance Global
Improvement

Purchase Requisition - Form Opens In-Page

Creating or editing a purchase requisition now opens in the page in place of the list, instead of a pop-up dialog.

Procurement Global
Improvement

GL Open Items - Reference Shows Bill No / Cheque No

The Reference column on GL Open Items used to read "Line 1 Tax" or "Line 2" for vendor invoice items. It now shows the supplier's Bill No, the payment's Cheque No / UTR, the supplier credit note number or the customer invoice number, whichever applies. Existing items are corrected without any data repair.

Finance Global
Improvement

Balance Lists - Control Account by Name

The Vendor and Customer Balance Lists show the control account by name only, for a shorter, more readable column.

Finance Global
Improvement

Employee Master - Create and Edit on a Full Page

Creating or editing an employee now opens a full page (/hrm/employees/new and /hrm/employees/<id>/edit) instead of a dialog over the list.

Human Resources Global
Improvement

Human Resources Menu Reorganised

The Human Resources menu has been regrouped so related screens sit together.

Human Resources Global
New Feature

Signed Demo Bundle for Presenters

Presenters can run the guided demo walkthroughs without the source code. A small demo shell downloads a signed bundle of walkthroughs, verifies it and runs it; new demos arrive as a new bundle with no reinstall. The bundle is published automatically after a production deploy.

System Global
3.49.18

General Ledger and Financial Statements Tally

October 05, 2026
Production

The GL Ledger, Trial Balance and Balance Sheet now agree: double-converted foreign-currency receipts, duplicate GL accounts and cross-company postings are corrected, and earlier years carry forward into equity.

Bug Fix

GL Ledger and Financial Statements Now Tally

A GL account could show one balance on the GL Ledger and a different one on the Balance Sheet. Several causes are fixed:

  • Older foreign-currency receipt journals that already held rupee amounts were being converted a second time. They are restated by a repair command.
  • A GL account with postings can no longer be deleted, and a second live account cannot be created on the same chart of accounts node. Existing duplicates are merged.
  • Both balance sheets now carry Surplus brought forward for earlier years that have not been closed.
Finance Global
Bug Fix

GL Postings Stay Within the Posting Company

Customer receivables, invoice revenue, tax codes and AP round off name one GL account, so one company's sales invoices could post into another company's ledger.

  • The account is now resolved to the posting company's own account on the same chart of accounts node, or the posting is refused with the account named.
  • Journals to another company's or a deleted GL account are refused at entry and on Post.
  • AP Posting Configuration refuses another company's accounts.
Finance Global
Bug Fix

Reversing a Journal Posted to Another Company's Account

A journal that had been posted to another company's GL account could not be reversed. A reversal now hits exactly the accounts its original hit, so it always cancels it.

Finance Global
Improvement

GL Repair Commands Ready for Production

The GL repair commands can be re-run safely: an already repaired journal is skipped quietly, deleted accounts with postings and no live twin can be restored, and reversed pairs are left alone. A production run book is documented.

System Global
3.49.10

Balance Lists, Payment Allocation and UAT Hardening

October 05, 2026
Production

Vendor and Customer Balance Lists, allocation of credit notes and journals, a faster GL Open Items screen, and fixes found while writing UAT scripts for Tasks, Projects and Piece Tracking.

Bug Fix

Customer Ledger - Orphaned and Duplicate Receipt Entries

Receipts re-done under the same number no longer leave an unlinked, fully open entry behind in the customer ledger, and direct-invoice reversals are settled by an allocation record. Repair commands are provided for existing data.

Finance Global
Bug Fix

Tasks - Dashboard and Form Corrections

  • The Overdue card now counts what its drill-down lists.
  • The dead bulk "Assign" and "Export Selected" items are removed.
  • The Template form marks Task Source as required.
  • Recurrence labels read "Every N days".
  • New Task Report Labels page and a sample workbook for Tasks Upload.
Task Management Global
Bug Fix

Project System - Change Requests and Dependency Message

The Issues & Changes tab now has a New Change Request button that creates a draft. The message for a circular activity dependency now names the two activities in the right order.

Other Global
Bug Fix

Piece Tracking - Void, DHU and Rollup Corrections

  • Voiding a loaded piece's only scan no longer resets it to "Created".
  • The DHU report now uses the same definition as the board, and reports coded and uncoded defects separately.
  • A void now reaches the hourly rollups immediately.
  • Rework recording validates before writing the scan.
  • Loaded and WIP counts come from pieces, not load scans.
  • Stale-WIP with 0 hours no longer falls back to 72.
  • Quality Analytics default end time uses local time.
Production Global
Improvement

GL Open Items - Faster Screen and Vendor / Customer Column

The GL Open Items screen loads about five times faster and its summary is near-instant.

  • Now a Syncfusion grid with filtering, grouping, export, column chooser and saved layouts.
  • New columns: Document Date, Reference and Vendor / Customer. The party is left blank when it cannot be determined, never guessed.
Finance Global
Improvement

Payment Allocation - Credit Notes, Debit Notes and Journals

The Payment Allocation screen now allocates by side, not by document type.

  • Credit notes and credit journals can be cleared against invoices alone or together with a receipt.
  • Debit journals are now treated as receivables and can be settled.
  • Manual, automatic and mass allocation share one write path, so repeating a pair no longer fails.
  • The 100-row cap on open items and unmatched payments is removed.
Finance Global
New Feature

Project System UAT Scripts

Six UAT scripts (UAT-PS-001 to 006) cover projects and WBS, network scheduling, people and timesheets, cost governance, meetings and chat, and dashboard access.

Other Global
New Feature

Vendor and Customer Balance Lists

Two new reports under Finance → Reports show opening balance, debits, credits and closing balance for every vendor and customer, with the control account.

  • Read from the sub-ledgers, so each row equals that party's own statement.
  • A foreign-currency customer with no exchange rate is flagged, never silently converted at 1.0.
  • Access is controlled by the new View AR Reports permission.
Finance Global
New Feature

Tasks Management UAT Scripts

Eight UAT scripts (UAT-TM-001 to 008) cover templates, projects, task create / edit, dashboard, recurring tasks, time tracking, worksheet / upload and capacity / chat access.

Task Management Global
New Feature

Piece Tracking UAT Scripts

Five UAT scripts (UAT-PT-001 to 005) cover setup and profiles, pieces and labels, scanning, rework and analytics, and the board, cost and access.

Production Global
Security Update

Tasks - Write Actions Need Their Own Permissions

Creating, changing and deleting tasks, projects, templates, definitions and recurring tasks (including bulk update and delete) no longer rides on the read permission. They now require the add / change task permissions.

Task Management Global
3.49.6

Production Planning Controls, Plant Maintenance Walkthrough and UAT Scripts

October 03, 2026
Production

Production screens are now permission-gated and a production confirmation can post stock; Plant Maintenance gets a 37-step walkthrough with the defects it found fixed, plus reliability and compliance reports; UAT scripts for Production and Cutting Room.

Bug Fix

Plant Maintenance - Defects Found by the Walkthrough

  • Creating a service order failed with a server error because a date field defaulted to a date-and-time.
  • The dashboard counted statuses that do not exist (Open anomalies, In-Repair breakdowns).
  • Completing a maintenance schedule never moved the plan's next due date.
  • Work-order labour and parts actions were unusable, task number was wrongly required, and labour hours did not roll up.
  • Missing validation on several PM forms is now enforced by the serializers.
Other Global
Improvement

Change Requests, BOM, Order Costing and Pre-Pack Improvements

A new Change Requests list, a Production Order cost page and cost-reference freezing, clearer BOM and routing editing, plant configuration for stock posting, and corrections to MRP planned-order conversion, variant matrices, SO BOM and pre-packs found while scripting the Production UAT.

Production Global
New Feature

Production Confirmation Can Post Component Issue and Finished-Good Receipt

Confirming a production operation can now back-flush the components and receive the finished good into stock. It is opt-in per plant and off by default. Confirmation, stock and GL postings are one block: a shortage or a missing account refuses the whole confirmation rather than half-posting. Operations can also be put On Hold.

Production Global
New Feature

UAT Scripts for Production Planning and Cutting Room

New acceptance test scripts covering BOMs, routing, MRP, scheduling, production orders, shop floor, prepacks and style intent (Production Planning), and UAT-CR-001 to 005 for markers, cutting jobs and notes, lay slips, bundles and QC, down-sizing and reports.

Production Global
New Feature

Plant Maintenance - Reliability and Compliance Reports

New reliability (MTBF, shown as not available rather than 0 when there is no failure history) and maintenance compliance reports, plus a 37-step Plant Maintenance walkthrough and training guide.

Other Global
Security Update

Production Planning Screens Are Permission-Gated

Production Planning endpoints and screens now check module permissions, with the buttons hidden where a user lacks them. A new test fails the build if a write action is added without being listed. Run setup_rbac per tenant after deployment to seed the new codenames.
