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

2.52.20

Guided Inventory Posting Setup

June 19, 2026
Production

A single guided stepper replaces the scattered admin screens for inventory financial account determination, and per-material cost groups can now be assigned directly on Material Master.

Improvement

Material Master — Cost Group Assignment

The cost group (valuation class) for a material can now be assigned directly from the Pricing & Valuation tab on Material Master, so routine master-data work no longer requires visiting the configuration screen. Effective-dated valuation history is preserved.

Other Global
New Feature

Inventory — Guided Posting Setup Workspace

A new five-step Posting Setup workspace consolidates inventory financial-account configuration into one guided screen:

  • Company & Policy, Cost Groups, Posting Logic, Account Matrix (with a GL-account picker and auto-fill heuristics) and Validate & Test with a dry-run movement check.
  • Copy a complete configuration from another company in one step.
  • Access is permission-scoped, with a new Inventory Accounting Configurator role; the entry lives under the admin Settings group.

Available at /materials/posting-setup.

2.52.14

Production Cost Accounting & Schedule III P&L

June 18, 2026
Production

A real-time, settlement-free Production Cost (WIP-control) ledger that capitalises material and conversion costs as work happens, variance analytics against a frozen standard, and a new Schedule III (Companies Act) Statement of Profit & Loss.

New Feature

Production — Cost Variance Analytics

At order release the planned cost is frozen as a reference standard, enabling variance analysis independent of the ledger:

  • Material, labour, overhead and utility variances per production order.
  • Material price-versus-usage breakdown.
  • Order-level and summary variance views.
Analytics Global
New Feature

Production — Work-in-Progress Cost Accounting

Production orders now carry a fully GL-backed Work-in-Progress (WIP) cost ledger that values shop-floor activity in real time, with no month-end settlement step:

  • Actual back-flush — material issued to production is capitalised to WIP, and each operation confirmation absorbs labour, overhead and utility cost at the routing rate × actual hours as it happens.
  • Balanced finished-goods receipt — when finished goods are received, the accumulated WIP is relieved pro-rata across all cost accounts, and scrap is posted separately.
  • WIP reconciliation — a reconciliation report proves that the sum of open-order WIP always ties back to the GL control account.
  • Cost on genealogy — batch genealogy now carries unit and total cost for full cost traceability.
Other Global
New Feature

Finance — Schedule III Statement of Profit & Loss

A new Schedule III (Companies Act) Statement of Profit & Loss is generated directly from posted journal lines:

  • Lines grouped by their Schedule III tag, with a keyword fallback for untagged accounts.
  • A derived “Changes in inventories of finished goods and work-in-progress” line.
  • Comparative prior-period figures.
  • A printable A4 PDF export.

2.52.16

Storage & Bin Transfers, Receivables Refinements

June 18, 2026
Production

New self-service Storage-to-Storage and Bin-to-Bin transfer screens for warehouse stock movements, plus further refinements to payment allocation and payments received.

Improvement

Receivables — Payment Allocation & Payments Received

Follow-up refinements to the Accounts Receivable screens: the Payment Allocation and Payments Received pages were adjusted for more accurate matching and display of receipts against open items.

Other Global
New Feature

Materials — Storage & Bin Transfers

New stock-transfer screens make it easy to move inventory within a warehouse without going through Django admin:

  • Storage-to-Storage Transfer — move stock between storage locations.
  • Bin-to-Bin Transfer — relocate stock between bins within a location.
  • Backed by new transfer APIs and movement reporting, with a dedicated Materials sidebar entry.
Other Global
2.52.13

Approvals Worklist, Payment Allocation, Payroll & Travel

June 17, 2026
Production

A dedicated Pending Approvals worklist for administrators, richer payment allocation and payments-received handling, payroll and travel management enhancements, a new Variant Attributes screen, and a project-wide currency-code clean-up.

Bug Fix

Currency — Consistent Use of Alpha Code

Currency handling is now consistent across the application:

  • The platform now uses the currency alpha code (e.g. USD) project-wide instead of the internal numeric code.
  • The currency dropdown on Quotation entry now populates correctly.
  • Journal Entry references now use the journal number rather than an internal entry number.
CRM Global
Bug Fix

Accounts Payable & Accounting — Posting Safeguards

Financial postings are now more robust:

  • Goods Receipt FI posting now hard-stops on error instead of posting partially, with a GST input-tax GL fallback when an account is not explicitly configured.
  • AP payments hard-stop on validation failures, with level-3 ENT tagging and a corrected vendor-ledger balance.
Other Global
Improvement

Payroll — Recurring Payments

The Recurring Payments screen in the Payroll module was enhanced for easier setup and management of repeating payment lines.

Human Resources Global
Improvement

Finance — Payment Allocation & Payments Received

Receivables handling has been refined:

  • The Payment Allocation screen gained additional controls for matching receipts to open items.
  • A bug affecting the Payments Received field was fixed so amounts capture correctly.
Other Global
Improvement

Travel Management — Requests, Advances & Claims

Travel Requests, Travel Advances and Expense Claim screens received additional fields and workflow refinements for a smoother end-to-end travel and reimbursement experience.

Human Resources Global
Improvement

Customer Service — Worklist & Access Enhancements

Customer Service was enhanced with improved ticket/asset handling and tightened role-based access so the right CS roles see the right screens and actions.

Other Global
New Feature

Workflow — Pending Approvals Admin Worklist

A new administrator worklist consolidates every pending workflow approval into one screen, so approvals can be found, reviewed and actioned without hunting through individual modules.

  • Lists all in-flight approval steps with their current approver and SLA status.
  • Improved approver resolution and querying behind the scenes for accurate routing.
  • Access is permission-scoped via the RBAC roles.
System Global
New Feature

Materials — Variant Attributes Management

A new Variant Attributes page lets you define and manage the attributes (such as colour and size dimensions) used to build material variants, with full create/edit support from the Materials sidebar.

Other Global
New Feature

Help Documentation — Cash Management

New help-centre articles were added covering the Cash Management module — cash position, forecasting and planning.

Retail Stores Dashboard & Point-of-Sale Reliability

June 16, 2026
Production

A new data-driven Retail Stores Dashboard brings sales, profit, inventory and supplier KPIs together in one place, alongside a set of reliability fixes to cash-sale posting and bin-wise inventory.

Bug Fix

Point-of-Sale — Cash-Sale Posting & Inventory Fixes

Several point-of-sale and inventory issues have been resolved for more accurate cash sales:

  • Cash-sale revenue and tax GL lines are now tagged with the selling branch’s profit center.
  • The terminal product search now shows only in-stock products and checks availability correctly.
  • Bin-agnostic goods issues now resolve a valid bin, and a cash-sale inventory error during checkout was fixed.
  • Fully depleted un-binned stock rows are removed after put-away so they no longer linger in inventory.
Other Global
New Feature

POS — Retail Stores Dashboard

A new analytics dashboard for retail operations gives store managers a single, data-driven view across all branches:

  • Sales & profit KPIs — revenue, margin and trend indicators at a glance.
  • Inventory health — stock position and movement highlights per store.
  • Supplier insights — supply-side metrics feeding the storefront.
  • Alerts — exception highlights that need attention.

Available under the POS sidebar at /pos/stores-dashboard.

2.51.20

Payroll Management Enhancements, EHS & Risk Fixes

June 16, 2026
Production

The Payroll module gains full management screens across its configuration and run pages, EHS incident reporting is made more reliable with seeded lookups, and the Risk Register owner picker is fixed.

Bug Fix

EHS — Reliable Incident Reporting with Seeded Lookups

Environment, Health & Safety incident reporting is now more dependable:

  • A one-step seeder provisions the standard incident types, severity levels and statuses so the incident form is populated out of the box.
  • The incident form was corrected to load and submit these lookups reliably.
Other Global
Bug Fix

Risk Management — Risk Register Owner Picker

The Risk Register can now populate its Owner field from a dedicated, permission-scoped list of active users in the current tenant, so Risk Officers can assign owners without needing system-admin access. Related Risk Register loading issues were also corrected.

Other Global
Improvement

Payroll — Full Management Across Configuration & Run Screens

The Payroll module has been rounded out so that its configuration and run screens are fully manageable from the interface:

  • Editable configuration — wage types, payslip templates, bank file configurations and generations, GL configuration, country configurations, compensation bands, steps, zones and grids, and tenant overrides can now be created and edited directly.
  • Employee compensation & tax — employee compensations and components, tax configurations, tax declarations and tax projections gained full create/edit management.
  • Payroll runs — payroll runs, results, off-cycle payrolls and items, retro calculations, final settlements and posting logs screens were enhanced for clearer review and action.
  • Permissions — the Payroll Manager role can now read the chart of accounts so the GL Configuration screen lists posting accounts.

2.48.0

AI-Driven Opening Stock Upload

June 11, 2026
Production

Load opening inventory balances by letting AI extract them from your spreadsheets, create any missing material masters, and post the stock.

New Feature

Opening Stock Upload by AI

Inventory Management now offers a guided, AI-assisted way to load opening stock:

  • AI extraction — upload an opening-balance spreadsheet and have its rows extracted and mapped automatically, then reviewed before import.
  • Material master creation — any materials that don't yet exist are identified and can be created as part of the same flow.
  • Post the stock — confirm the reviewed data to post the opening inventory balances into stock.

This makes onboarding opening balances during go-live far faster than entering them by hand.

2.47.3

Optional MFA for Directors

June 10, 2026
Production

Administrators can now exempt specific users from mandatory two-factor authentication.

Security Update

Per-User MFA Exemption

Multi-factor authentication is normally mandatory for admins and privileged users. A new per-user MFA exempt override lets an administrator make two-factor authentication optional for specific people — for example Directors who decline the extra step — while everyone else continues to be required to use it. Exempt users can still choose to enable MFA voluntarily.

System Global
2.45.9

Risk Management Completion & Compliance Management Launch

June 10, 2026
Production

Risk Management gains incident linkage, an executive cockpit and ready-to-use starter data, and a brand-new Compliance Management module arrives with an obligation register and compliance calendar.

New Feature

Compliance Management — Obligation Register & Calendar

A new Compliance Management module gives you a single place to track regulatory and internal obligations:

  • Obligation register — record each compliance obligation with its regulation/source, jurisdiction, owner, frequency, effective and due dates, and break it down into individual requirements.
  • Compliance calendar — recurring compliance tasks are generated automatically from each obligation's frequency and laid out on a day/week/month/agenda calendar, with reminders sent to owners and Compliance Officers as due dates approach or pass.
  • Dedicated Compliance Officer and read-only Compliance Viewer roles.
Other Global
New Feature

Risk Management — Incident Linkage, Cockpit & Starter Data

Risk Management is now fully rounded out:

  • Risk ↔ Incident linkage — raise a new EHS incident straight from a risk, or relate an existing one, and see the incident (and its corrective actions) from the Risk Register. The incident links back to the originating risk.
  • Risk Cockpit / Dashboard — a single landing page summarising risks by status and severity band, the top exposures, appetite-vs-actual per category, KRI status and overdue treatments and reviews, alongside the risk heat-map.
  • Ready-to-use setup — built-in roles plus one-step seeders for a default scoring matrix and a COSO-style risk taxonomy with group-wide risk appetites, so a new tenant can start recording risks immediately.
Other Global
2.45.10

Compliance — Task Submission, Evidence & Verification

June 10, 2026
Production

Compliance tasks can now be completed with supporting evidence and routed through a verification step before they are closed.

New Feature

Evidence-Backed Compliance Task Verification

Compliance tasks now carry a full submission and verification track:

  • Submit with evidence — the task owner attaches one or more supporting documents and submits the task for review.
  • Verification workflow — submission routes through a Compliance Officer approval step; approval marks the task Verified and closes it, while a return sends it back to the owner to re-submit.
  • A dedicated worklist makes it easy to see what needs submitting, what is awaiting verification and what has been returned.
