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
3.58.1

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

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
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
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
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
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

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.

Other 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
3.58.4

Shop-floor breakdown handling on mobile, from report to confirmed repair

October 23, 2026
Production

Plant Maintenance now has a mobile breakdown flow: scan the machine, assign an engineer, repair with spares, and have the supervisor confirm.

New Feature

Report a breakdown by scanning the machine and operator badge

A production supervisor scans the machine's QR label and the operator's badge on a phone to report a stoppage. Maintenance managers are notified straight away in the app and by web push.

Other Global
New Feature

Assign and accept breakdown jobs

Managers see a queue of open breakdowns and assign an engineer. The list shows each engineer's current open jobs. The engineer accepts the job and the reporter is notified. The Report, Assign, My Jobs and Stores tabs are on a new mobile breakdown page.

Other Global
New Feature

Classify the fault and raise the emergency work order

Engineers classify the breakdown from a category and failure-mode list, record the diagnosis, and raise the emergency work order from the job sheet. They can then start the repair.

Other Global
New Feature

Reserve spares or order external service from the job sheet

Engineers reserve spare parts, and a purchase requisition is raised automatically for items out of stock. They can also request an external service order. Reservations can be cancelled or short-closed.

Other Global
New Feature

Stores tab for issuing breakdown spares

Stores staff see open spare reservations, most urgent first, and can check where stock can be picked. They issue the parts to the cost centre, and the parts are recorded on the work order.

Inventory Global
New Feature

Fixed, operator check and supervisor confirmation

The engineer reports the machine fixed. The supervisor then runs an operator check with the badge and either confirms the repair, which closes the breakdown, or sends it back to the engineer. Downtime is calculated automatically and one failure history record is written.

Other Global
New Feature

Printable machine QR labels

A new Machine QR Labels page produces the labels that supervisors scan when reporting a breakdown.

Other Global
New Feature

New roles and permissions for the breakdown flow

The roles PM Maintenance Manager, PM Production Supervisor and PM Stores Keeper are added, with permissions to report, assign, work on and issue spares for breakdowns. Administrators must assign these roles to users.

System Global
3.58.5

Front Desk end-of-day report and deleted entry fixes

October 23, 2026
Production

Front Desk gains a scheduled evening report of today's entries, and deleted entries no longer appear in lists, the dashboard, pending goods receipts or reports.

Bug Fix

Deleted Front Desk entries no longer show up

Entries that were deleted at the Front Desk were still appearing in the entry list, dashboard counts, pending goods receipts and emailed reports. They are now excluded everywhere.

Inventory Global
Bug Fix

Category-filtered Front Desk reports no longer send empty emails

A daily Front Desk report filtered to one category used to be sent as an empty email when only other categories had entries. It is now sent only when entries match the filter.

Inventory Global
New Feature

Today's Front Desk Entries evening report

You can now schedule an end-of-day email listing everything the Front Desk received today, oldest first. It can be limited to one category, set to a fixed cutoff time or a specific date, and can optionally send a 'nothing received' email on empty days.

Inventory Global
3.58.6

Price revision now re-prices every item in a costing chain

October 23, 2026
Production

Price revision no longer skips earlier sizes when you create the next size with New Version.

Bug Fix

Price revision covers every size copied with New Version

When you cost the next size by pressing New Version on the previous one, a price revision used to re-price only the last sheet in that chain. It now re-prices each different item, along with the finished fabric and greige sheets they are built on.

Textile Costing Global
3.58.0

Your own AI provider keys, plus CRM and numbering fixes

October 22, 2026
Production Breaking changes

Each organisation now adds its own AI provider key, and credit-blocked sales orders release correctly when edited.

Bug Fix

Lowering an order price no longer re-blocks a released order

Reducing the amount of a credit-released sales order keeps its release. Increasing the amount still requires a new credit check.

CRM Global
Bug Fix

Releasing a credit-blocked sales order from the edit form now sticks

Moving an order out of Credit Block on the edit form now records a proper credit release, so the next save no longer puts it back in Credit Block. Only users with credit release authority can do this.

CRM Global
Improvement

Clearer messages when an AI key has a problem

If the key is missing, rejected, out of credit or lacks permission, the message now says it concerns your organisation's AI account. It also points administrators to where to fix it. Data chat falls back to simpler answers when no key has been added.

System Global
New Feature

Add your own AI provider keys

Administrators can add their organisation's own Anthropic and OpenAI keys on a new AI Provider Keys page. All AI features now run on your organisation's key.

System Global Breaking change
New Feature

Fiscal start year available in document numbers

Document numbering patterns can now use the year the fiscal year starts, for example 2026 for 2026-27. This works with fiscal-year numbering resets.

System Global
