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

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.

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
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.

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.

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

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
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

Production Order Form Opens for Editing

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

Production Global
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
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
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
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

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

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
3.50.7

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 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.

Human Resources Global
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
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
3.50.2

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

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

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

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

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
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.

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.
