What we shipped, in plain language.

Reversing a goods receipt now cancels any inspection lot that has no usage decision yet. A lot that already has a decision blocks the reversal, and the message names the lot.

A supplier graded C triggers a warning on the purchase order that must be acknowledged. A supplier graded D cannot be given new PO lines for that material group until the Purchase Head releases it, per PO or for a date range. Existing POs, receipts and invoices are unaffected.

For materials whose material group is set up for inspection, a goods receipt (single PO, multi-PO or job-work) now creates the inspection lot. Mandatory lines are received into Quality Inspection whatever the clerk selects. Set-up covers supplier exceptions, an inspection area, generic plans per material group, skip-lot and tightened sampling.

Each incoming lot carries a checklist of required certificates and declarations. Standing supplier certificates valid on the receipt date count toward it, and expiry alerts are sent. Accepting a lot is refused while a mandatory line is open. Each material can have its own certificate set.

A usage decision can be reversed. The stock it moved is moved back, a draft return request is cancelled and the vendor complaint is withdrawn. The lot returns to Decision Pending. Reversal is refused, with the reason, after a scrap write-off, a converted return, or a debit note, CAPA or issued SCAR.

Rejecting, returning or scrapping an incoming lot opens a vendor complaint with its debit-note basis. The inspector proposes the decision and the Quality Assurance Manager decides on incoming lots.

Each supplier gets a scorecard per material group and month, using default criteria you can change. Measures with no data show as Not available, not as zero. Scores can be adjusted with a reason, then published or revised.

Issue Supplier Corrective Action Requests with a proposed 8D plan and due dates. Answers can be accepted or returned, supplier responsiveness is tracked, and closure needs proof of effectiveness or a QA Head override.

Tick assets in the Asset Register and choose Print Asset Tags to print 50 × 50 mm stickers, two across a roll. Ticks apply to the rows on the current page, and each tag's QR code opens the Machine Breakdown page when scanned with a phone camera.

Administrators get a new Asset Tag Printer page in the Administrator menu. It sets the sticker size, margins, columns, rows per page and page orientation. It also has a live preview and a test print. The layout is saved once and used by every PC that prints asset tags. Only administrators can change it.

Existing High defects become Major, and Medium and Low become Minor. Inspectors can raise a class by one step with a reason. Only the Quality Manager can lower a class.

Two new roles and permissions control sampling set-up, table verification, switching decisions and inline checks. The Quality Manager can no longer verify tables or make switching decisions, so those users need the Head of Quality role.

Sampling schemes are set per customer, supplier or material group, or as a plant default. Buyer-and-style and supplier-and-material combinations move between normal, tightened, reduced, skip and discontinued based on lot results. Every change is logged, and the Head of Quality can set safe launch.

A new tablet screen at /qm/capture covers the work list, AQL audits, measurement checks by size, and packing and carton audits. Saved entries are never duplicated if a request is repeated, unsaved work stays on the device, and photos are compressed before upload.

Inline QC can record timed rounds on sewing lines and rate them Green, Amber or Red. Re-checks are supported, and missed rounds are shown in the plant's local time. After three Reds, an NCR is proposed.

You can print the Final Inspection Report, Inline Inspection Report, Measurement Report and Packing and Carton Audit Report. Reprinted Final Inspection Reports are marked COPY.

New screens cover Sampling Tables, Sampling Schemes and set-up, Switching Keys and Inspection Reports. The inspection lot page also has a Sampling panel.

Sample sizes and accept/reject numbers now come from the Z1.4 tables, with normal, tightened and reduced inspection. Nothing is sampled until the Head of Quality verifies a table set. Each lot keeps its plan, and Critical, Major and Minor classes are each judged on the whole sample. Completing an inspection needs the full sample, and going against the verdict needs a reason and the Quality Manager.

If reservations fail or some components can't be reserved when you release a production order, a message now tells you. Before, nothing was shown and the order arrived at goods issue with nothing to issue.

Removed BOM lines, operation assignments and routing operations were still being reserved and could be issued. They are now excluded. A refreshed reservation also records who refreshed it.

Reservations can be created only for Released or In Progress orders, and error messages name the specific gaps. A problem with variant lines now shows a clear message instead of a server error. A missing material snapshot is filled in, and issued quantities are recalculated.

When a production order has no reservations, a Create Reservations button appears on the screen. A refresh icon beside the status chip updates existing reservations after a BOM, assignment or quantity change, and issued quantities are kept.

The Goods Issue for Production screen now shows a warning that names the BOM components that have no reservation. It also says why, for example no routing, an empty BOM, or a component not assigned to an operation.

The audit log storage is now compacted every Sunday at 03:00 IST, only when enough space can be recovered. Saves made during that short window may wait briefly.

Saves that only change automatic bookkeeping values, such as who last touched a record or a session's last activity time, no longer add an audit log entry. Entries appear when a real field changes. Finance documents under statutory protection are still logged on every edit.

When an Asset Receipt line has no unit, the invoice line now uses the unit from the purchase order line. Previously the form rejected these lines with an error the user could not fix.

Invoice lines created from an Asset Receipt now keep their link to that receipt when saved. The receipt is therefore marked as billed and can no longer be invoiced a second time.

A purchase order whose lines are all asset lines never showed up when choosing POs on the vendor invoice form, so it could not be invoiced. Orders with posted Asset Receipts are now listed alongside those with goods receipts or service entries.

Invoice lines billed from an Asset Receipt show an AR badge with the receipt number. The missing GL account and missing cost center messages now explain what to fix for asset lines, and the empty-PO message mentions Asset Receipts.

Searching the Production Orders list failed with a server error. It now searches by order number, material code and name, and customer.

Released production orders were treated as having no work left, so their critical ratio was infinite and they sat at the bottom of the scheduling worklist. Remaining work now includes released and firmed operations.

Refreshing capacity profiles for a plant used to fail every time. It now rebuilds capacity from the shift calendar for each work centre and shows how many were rebuilt and which failed. If the plant has no active shift calendar, it tells you so.

Saving a capacity profile did nothing when efficiency was 1.00, and the minute fields rejected values that were not multiples of 15. Both now accept any valid value.

Capacity Planning utilisation and daily summaries counted slots blocked for maintenance as available time. They now count only open slots, which matches the capacity requirements report.

If capacity can't be refreshed, Generate Schedule now shows the reason and stops. Before, it could schedule against out-of-date capacity. The refresh also accepts a number of days ahead between 1 and 366.

Operations without their own dates display the order's dates. Each operation now also reports whether it has been scheduled, so you can tell the two cases apart.

The e-mail sent when a milestone completes late is now sent in the background after the change is saved, so saving no longer waits for the e-mail.

Entering a completion date by hand needs a specific permission. A reason is required when a transaction or buyer approval normally completes that milestone. Dates written by a transaction or approval can't be overwritten by hand; reverse the document instead.

Milestones are completed by the document that proves them, such as PO approval, receipts, quality lots, PP sign-off, cutting notes, scans, final audit and dispatch. If that document is reversed, the milestone reopens. Each milestone shows what completed it, and a Refresh button re-checks an order on demand. An hourly check also catches missed updates.

Lead-time bands (days from order date to due date) can be defined, and TNA templates can be stored per band. Each order picks the matching template, and re-phasing an order keeps its band unless you choose to rebase. Bands in the same scope cannot overlap, and the default template set now includes one per band.

A new setup page lets merchandising leads manage lead-time bands and choose which event completes each milestone kind. Changing templates and bands now needs the template management permission.

Purchase orders now store when they were approved. This time is used to complete the matching TNA milestone.

A new report shows milestones completed on time, late, overdue or still open, by milestone kind. You can filter it by customer, band or merchandiser.

PP meetings are built from template sections and lines, with one pending sign-off per role. Only role holders can sign off. Signing off completes the PP milestone, and open points become tasks on the order board. There is a printable PP meeting form and a register of meetings.

Goods receipt matrices, cut-panel receipts and the material variants grid now find Colour and Size by role.

The quality measurement size master now reads sizes from the attribute marked as Size, regardless of its code.

If your Colour or Size attribute used a different code from the standard ones, the Sales Order Matrix showed no grid. This could let an order save a required material without a variant. The matrix now finds the Colour and Size axes however they are coded.

PO import colour and size options and matching, delivery matrices, order processing and variant exports now use your Colour and Size attributes by role instead of fixed codes.

Production planning matrices, material requirements colour combining, BOM checks, the fabric programme chart and the BOM wizard value picker now work when Colour and Size use non-standard codes. The BOM wizard no longer creates a second Colour attribute.

The Variant Attributes screen now has a Role setting (Colour or Size). Each role can be used by only one active attribute, and a second Colour is refused. Existing attributes are set automatically from their code or an unambiguous name.

A new Alerts tab lists alerts for slipped milestones, late samples and similar conditions. Alerts are checked hourly and sent to the people responsible. A slipped milestone that stays late is escalated to the Merchandising Manager. You can acknowledge a fired alert, and alerts clear on their own when the condition is resolved.

The Merchandising dashboard shows a row of eight KPIs, including on-time in-full delivery, for a chosen period (week, month, last week, last month, rolling 30 or 90 days, or custom). You can filter by customer and merchandiser and drill into the records behind each figure. Merchants see only the orders they handle, and margin and costing accuracy figures appear only for users who may view order profitability.

Viewing merchandising KPIs and alerts requires a new permission, which administrators can assign through roles. Changing the settings requires the existing merchandising configuration permission.

A daily list and a Monday morning KPI pack are now available as scheduled reports. KPI figures are refreshed every night, and are also refreshed when you open the dashboard if they have not yet been refreshed that day.

A settings panel lets administrators set sample turnaround targets (overall or per sample type), the number of days before a slipped milestone is escalated, and the on-time and in-full tolerances. It also sets which roles are notified.
