1.80.0

CRM, TC Workflow, POS, REM & Platform Improvements

March 16, 2026
Production

A broad set of enhancements and fixes across CRM (Sales Orders, Delivery, Invoice), Textile Costing workflow with email notifications, Point of Sale UI, Project Management categories, Real Estate Management, AI-powered hierarchy data seeding, Common Master Data seeding, and infrastructure improvements including hashed static filenames and PostgreSQL connection-pool overflow resolution.

Bug Fix

PostgreSQL Connection Pool Overflow Resolved

Under high concurrency, the application was exhausting the PostgreSQL connection pool, causing connection overflow errors for some requests. The connection pool settings and tenant database router have been tuned to prevent overflow under normal and peak load.

System Global
Bug Fix

Sales Order Save Error Resolved

A regression that caused a validation error when saving Sales Orders under certain field combinations has been corrected. All save paths now complete successfully.

CRM Global
Bug Fix

Textile Costing – Net Consumption Used in Made-Up Fabric BOM

The Made-Up Costing calculator now correctly reads net consumption from the Cut Plan when building the Fabric BOM, rather than gross consumption. This prevents fabric quantity over-estimates in costing sheets.

Other Global
Bug Fix

Delivery-to-Invoice Page – Field Corrections

Several field mapping issues on the Delivery → Invoice conversion page have been fixed, ensuring that line quantities, prices, and references carry over correctly without manual editing.

CRM Global

CRM – Sales Order, Delivery & Task Template Enhancements

Multiple quality-of-life improvements across CRM transactional documents:

  • Sales Order and Delivery line-item forms updated with additional fields
  • Task Templates linked to Sales Orders for automated task generation
  • Materials Management (MM) and Purchase Order/Quote fields synchronised
CRM Global
Improvement

Static Files – Hashed Filenames for Cache Busting

All static assets are now served with content-hash suffixes (e.g., main.a3f9c2.js), enabling aggressive long-term browser caching while guaranteeing instant updates on every deployment. A version tag is also displayed in the base template footer for quick environment verification.

System Global
Improvement

Help Documentation – Support Desk Pages Improved

The Support Desk section of the Help Documentation centre has been reorganised and expanded with clearer article structure, improved navigation, and updated content reflecting the latest UI.

System Global
Improvement

Real Estate Management – UI Page & Functions

The Real Estate Management (REM) module now has an improved React UI with full CRUD functionality for property listings, unit management, tenant assignments, and lease tracking.

Other Global
Improvement

Customer PO Extraction to Sales Order – Enhanced Accuracy

The AI-assisted Customer PO → Sales Order extraction workflow has been improved to handle a wider range of PO document formats and field mappings, reducing manual correction effort after extraction.

Other Global
New Feature

Project Management – Category Page

A dedicated Category management page has been added to the Project Management module, allowing project categories to be created, edited, and organised from the UI without requiring admin access.

Other Global
New Feature

Common Master Data – Automated Seeding

Common reference data (currencies, countries, units of measure, tax codes, and other master tables) can now be seeded automatically via the updated management command, reducing manual setup time for new tenant onboarding.

System Global
New Feature

AI-Powered Hierarchy Item Data Seeding

Administrators can now trigger AI-assisted data seeding for Hierarchy Items (cost centres, profit centres, org units, etc.) from the Data Configuration screen.

1.79.0

HRM Payroll – Compensation Configuration & Pay Infotypes

March 14, 2026
Production

Full SAP-style pay scale configuration introduced: Compensation Plans, Zones, Bands, Steps, and a Salary Grid Matrix. Employee pay infotypes added for Basic Pay (IT0008), Recurring Payments (IT0014), and Additional Payments (IT0015).

New Feature

Compensation Zone – Geographic Pay Differentiation

Compensation Zones allow the same plan to pay different amounts based on the employee's work location (e.g., Metro, Tier-2, Rural, Overseas). An optional Cost of Living Factor provides an informational multiplier for benchmarking.

  • Equivalent to SAP Pay Scale Area
  • Zone codes are unique within a plan
  • At least one zone is required per plan
Human Resources Global
New Feature

Compensation Band & Step – Job Classification and Seniority

Compensation Bands classify jobs by level (Band A – Junior, Band B – Professional, Band C – Senior). Each Band carries an optional link to an Organisation Management Job Grade for cross-module consistency.

Compensation Steps represent seniority progression within a Band (Step 1 – Entry, Step 2 – Developing, Step 3 – Expert). Steps support auto-advance eligibility (configurable in months) for future payroll automation.

  • Bands equivalent to SAP Pay Scale Group; Steps equivalent to Pay Scale Level
  • Steps are managed inline on the Band admin page
  • Min. years of experience field aids HR decision-making at promotion time
Human Resources Global
New Feature

Compensation Grid – Pay Scale Matrix

The Compensation Grid stores the actual salary amount at every Plan × Band × Step × Zone intersection. Each cell specifies an amount, amount type (Monthly/Annual/Hourly/Daily), and an effectiveness period — enabling annual pay revisions with full history.

  • Equivalent to SAP Pay Scale Matrix (T510)
  • Optional Wage Type FK allows component-level breakdown (Basic, HRA, Transport…)
  • Composite unique constraint: Plan + Band + Step + Zone + WageType + Effective From
  • Cross-FK validation: Band, Step, and Zone must all belong to the selected Plan
Human Resources Global
New Feature

Employee Compensation – Basic Pay (IT0008)

Employee Compensation records assign an individual employee to a position in the pay scale (Plan / Band / Step / Zone) for a validity period. A change reason (New Hire, Promotion, Annual Review, Transfer, Correction) is captured for every new record, creating a complete audit trail.

  • Equivalent to SAP Infotype 0008 – Basic Pay
  • Capacity Utilisation % supports part-time pro-rating
  • Child Compensation Components table stores individual wage-type amounts (Basic Salary, HRA, Transport, etc.) per employee
  • Time-delimited: each record has Valid From / Valid To; history is preserved by creating new records rather than editing old ones
Human Resources Global
New Feature

Recurring Payments – Ongoing Allowances & Deductions (IT0014)

Recurring Payments capture pay components that are automatically included in every payroll run for the validity period — monthly car allowances, loan EMI deductions, meal subsidies, and similar ongoing items that are not part of the basic pay structure.

  • Equivalent to SAP Infotype 0014 – Recurring Payments/Deductions
  • Payment Frequency: Monthly, Semi-Monthly, Bi-Weekly, Weekly, Quarterly, Annual
  • Deduction Type: Pre-Tax or Post-Tax, for accurate tax treatment
  • First/Last Payment Date scheduling for finite-term allowances (e.g., a loan that ends after 24 instalments)
  • Reference Number field for loan account numbers and policy references
Human Resources Global
New Feature

Additional Payments – One-Time & Ad-Hoc Pay (IT0015)

Additional Payments record non-recurring pay items processed in a specific payroll period — bonuses, sign-on awards, festive allowances, salary arrears, advances, relocation payments, and gratuity.

  • Equivalent to SAP Infotype 0015 – Additional Payments
  • Payment Reason classification: Bonus, Incentive, Arrears, Advance, Relocation, Sign-On, Festival, Gratuity, Correction, Other
  • Payroll Period field (YYYY-MM) for targeting a specific period independent of the payment date
  • Reference Number for approval number or HR ticket cross-reference
Human Resources Global
New Feature

New Feature

Compensation Plan – Top-Level Pay Framework

Define distinct pay frameworks (e.g., Management, Factory Workers, Union) using the new Compensation Plan model. Each plan has a lifecycle status (Draft → Active → Frozen → Archived), a home currency, and a validity period.

  • Equivalent to SAP Pay Scale Type (T510)
  • Status control prevents accidental assignment to inactive plans
  • Admin page includes inline tables for Zones and Bands

Contract Management & Digital Signature

March 10, 2026
Production

New Contract Management application with a clause library, contract templates, full contract lifecycle management, and X.509-based digital signatures for Purchase Orders and contracts.

Bug Fix

Digital Signature – PDF Rendering Issues Fixed

Resolved edge cases where the signature stamp was misaligned on multi-page PDFs and where certificate loading failed for certain key formats. Stamp now consistently appears on the last page.

Procurement Global
Improvement

Purchase Order PDF – Auto T&C Assembly from Clause Library

Purchase Order PDF now pulls T&C clauses from the Contract Management clause library (when configured) rather than plain text. Clauses are auto-numbered and variable-substituted. Falls back to the legacy plain-text terms_conditions field if no clause library is configured.

Procurement Global
New Feature

Contract Management App – Clause Library

Centralised library of reusable legal clauses organised into categories (Payment, Delivery, Warranty, Confidentiality, Dispute Resolution, etc.). Each clause supports:

  • Version history with change tracking
  • Variable substitution (e.g. {{payment_days}}, {{governing_law}})
  • Applicability rules (by document type and industry)
  • Seed command: 21 standard clauses across 10 categories
Procurement Global
New Feature

Digital Signature – PDF Signing & Verification

Sign Purchase Orders and contract PDFs with a visible signature stamp overlay (name, timestamp, certificate fingerprint). Signed PDFs are verifiable — any tampering after signing invalidates the signature. Uses reportlab for stamp rendering and PyPDF2 for PDF merging.

Procurement Global
New Feature

Digital Signature – X.509 Certificate Generation

Generate RSA-2048 signing certificates per user directly from the Digital Signature page. Certificates are encrypted with AES-GCM and stored securely. Each certificate records the issuer, validity period, and fingerprint.

Procurement Global
New Feature
