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

3.76.1

Fixed saving fixed assets with empty optional fields

October 31, 2026
Production

Editing and saving an asset no longer fails when fields like responsible person, floor, room or status details are blank.

Bug Fix

Asset edit no longer rejects blank optional fields

Saving an existing asset with an empty responsible person, floor, room or status details used to fail with a "may not be null" error. These fields can now be left blank and the asset saves normally.

Finance Global
3.76.0

Vendor controls, PO delivery schedules, Import LCs and confirmations

October 31, 2026
Production Breaking changes

Procurement and payables gain GSTIN verification, approved bank-account changes, split PO delivery dates, an Import LC register and vendor balance and stock confirmations.

New Feature

Balance and job-worker stock confirmations

You can run vendor balance or job-worker stock confirmations, frozen as of a chosen date. Letters are mailed with a reply slip, and replies are recorded as Agreed or Disputed. Differences are listed but never posted. Reminders go out on day 7, and a supplier with no reply after 15 days is marked No response.

Procurement Global
New Feature

Supplier GSTIN checked against the GST registry

A supplier's GSTIN is verified when you save, on demand, and re-checked monthly. A cancelled or suspended GSTIN blocks activating the supplier and shows a warning on purchase orders. Without a GST provider set up, only the format is checked and the supplier shows as Not verified.

Procurement Global
New Feature

Udyam / MSME details on the vendor master

Vendors now have an Udyam number, MSME category and certificate. The MSME 45-day outstanding report now uses the Udyam category. It applies the 45-day rule only to micro and small suppliers. Suppliers with an MSME number but no category are listed separately as Not captured.

Procurement Global
New Feature

Delivery schedule lines on purchase order lines

A PO line can be split into several delivery dates. Receipts close the schedules oldest first, and the PO's delivery date follows the earliest open schedule. Overdue and adherence tracking works per schedule, and the PO print lists the schedules. An issued PO is amended as a new version, which resets its approval.

Procurement Global
New Feature

Import Letter of Credit register

A new register tracks import LCs. You can link POs up to the LC amount and record drawings within the available balance and before expiry. Accepting a drawing moves the invoice's due date to the maturity date. LCs show their stage and close automatically. The due payables list shows which invoices are paid through an LC.

Procurement Global
Security Update

Supplier bank-account changes need approval

A new or changed supplier bank account is now a request. It needs the account number entered twice, the IFSC and a cancelled cheque. The new Senior Accounts Manager role approves it in My Approvals, and the requester cannot approve their own request. Payment proposals, bank files, payment advices and the due list use approved accounts only. A supplier with a pending change is excluded from proposals, and the reason is shown. Existing accounts stay active, but Accounts should review the migrated list.

Procurement Global Breaking change
3.74.0

Quality planning, lab test requests and statistical process control

October 30, 2026
Production

Quality now covers PFMEAs, control plans, lab test requests and SPC charts in three new screens, linked to inspection lots and releases.

Improvement

Lab results now control lot acceptance and release

A failed mandatory test blocks the lot's batch stock and proposes a non-conformance report, which takes over those blocks as its holds. A lot can't be accepted while a mandatory test is pending. An expired mandatory test shows as Failed-expired and blocks the release.

Quality Management Global
New Feature

Lab test requests, buyer test packages and validity register

Define buyer test packages and raise test requests (TRFs) from them. An external lab is refused unless its accreditation is valid today and covers the test. Enter report values to have them judged against the package limits and written to the lot's lab results. Periodic tests are tracked in a validity register with a 60-day renewal list.

Quality Management Global
New Feature

Review warning after engineering changes

Approving an engineering change order flags the style's PFMEAs, control plans and inspection plans as Review required. Inspection lots raised in the meantime show a warning. The flag clears when a new approved version replaces the object, or when the Quality Assurance Manager records that no change is needed, with a reason.

Quality Management Global
New Feature

Control plans that generate inspection plans

Generate control plans per phase from the PFMEA's detection controls. Approving a Production or Pre-launch control plan creates the inspection plan version for each inspection type it names, and the previous version becomes Obsolete from the effective date. Characteristics on a generated plan can't be edited directly.

Quality Management Global
New Feature

PFMEA and special class for styles

Create a versioned PFMEA for a style from process templates (cutting, sewing, finishing, packing). Each line has severity, occurrence and detection ratings, RPN, actions and revised ratings. Submitting is refused when a high-risk line (RPN 100 or more, or severity 9 or more) has no action. Approval runs through a new Head of Quality workflow. Characteristics, measurement points and plan lines now carry a special class (Safety, Critical, Key, Standard) with a symbol.

Quality Management Global
New Feature

SPC control charts, signals and process capability

Chart characteristics with X̄-R, X̄-S, I-MR, p, np, c and u charts. Limits are frozen after the first 25 subgroups. Only the Head of Quality can exclude a point or recompute limits, and must give a reason. Run-rule signals notify and propose a non-conformance report but never stop production. Cp, Cpk, Pp and Ppk are shown with a histogram, and are marked not valid while a signal is open.

Quality Management Global
New Feature

New screens, prints, reports and Lab Technician role

Adds Quality Planning, Lab Tests and SPC screens. Adds prints for PFMEA, control plan, test request form and capability report, plus six new reports and document numbering for PFMEA, control plan and TRF. PFMEA actions appear in the action tracker. Daily and weekly reminders cover overdue tests, renewals and due PFMEA actions. A new Lab Technician role is added.

Quality Management Global
3.75.0

Goods Issue for Sales Order

October 30, 2026
Production

You can now issue stock earmarked for a sales order straight to that order, with the cost charged to it.

Improvement

Batch history labels sales order consumption

Batch traceability now labels these movements as Sales Order Consumption and Sales Order Consumption Reversal.

Quality Management Global
Improvement

Sales order cost includes stock issued to the order

The sales order P&L now shows stock issued directly to the order as consumption cost and adds it to actual material cost. Order Closure also counts these issues and their reversals as order cost.

CRM Global
New Feature

New permissions and menu entry for sales order issues

Two new permissions control viewing and posting Goods Issue for Sales Order, and the Production Stores Clerk role gets both. Administrators must run the role setup and navigation seed for the menu entry to appear.

System Global
New Feature

Goods Issue for Sales Order screen

A new Materials screen lets you pick a sales order, issue the stock earmarked for it and post. You can print each posted document. Only stock earmarked for that order can be issued, and you cannot issue more than is held. Free stock and other orders' stock are refused. Posting is also refused if the order is not in an issuable status or the cost group has no consumption account. Finance must map a consumption account for each cost group that holds sales order stock before issues can be posted.

Inventory Global
New Feature

Reverse a Goods Issue for Sales Order

Goods issues to a sales order can be reversed from the Material Document List. The reversal credits the cost back to the order and returns the stock to the batch earmarked for it.

Inventory Global
3.73.0

Quality dashboard, KPI packs and cost of quality

October 30, 2026
Production

Quality now has a KPI dashboard with targets, scheduled KPI report packs, a management-review input pack and a monthly cost of quality statement.

Improvement

Line and re-screen hours on audits and complaint costs

Starting an audit on the tablet now captures the line and the re-screen hours. Customer complaints can be linked to a customer debit note and record a handling cost, which feed the cost of quality.

Quality Management Global
New Feature

Quality dashboard with KPI tiles against target

A new Quality Dashboard shows eight KPI tiles coloured green, amber or red against target, with the change since the previous period. It also has top defects per line and per style, KPI trends, a lines-by-days heat map, a customer view and drill-down to the underlying records. Figures refresh every 15 minutes for today and are closed each night.

Quality Management Global
New Feature

KPI targets with a "which target applies?" check

The Head of Quality can set KPI targets with validity dates for a plant, line, customer, style or a customer and style together. The most specific target wins, and a tester shows which one applies to a given selection.

Quality Management Global
New Feature

Scheduled daily, weekly and monthly KPI packs

KPI packs can be sent daily, weekly or monthly to subscribed reviewers as an email body, Excel or PDF. Each reviewer receives only the plants, lines and customers in their own slice. A printable KPI pack is also available.

Quality Management Global
New Feature

Cost of quality statement by month

A new Cost of Quality page shows rejection, returns, rework, re-screening, complaint handling, claims and quality-related ledger costs in company currency, plus cost of quality as a percentage of net sales. Nothing is posted to the ledger. Where an order has no exchange rate the figure shows "Not available" instead of a wrong value. A claim uses the booked customer debit note amount when there is one.

Quality Management Global
New Feature

Publish and revise cost of quality months

A cost of quality month starts as a draft, is published by the Head of Quality and is never recalculated after that. A correction is made as a revision with a reason, and publishing it supersedes the earlier version. A printable statement is available.

Quality Management Global
New Feature

New permission to view cost of quality

A new permission, view cost of quality, lets Finance and management read the cost of quality statement without being able to change it. Run the standard role setup to apply it to existing roles.

Quality Management Global
New Feature

Management review input pack

A new Management Review page collects the twelve review inputs for each quarter. It reads live data while the pack is a draft and is frozen once issued. Any source that is missing or unreadable shows "Not available" with the reason. The pack can be printed.

Quality Management Global
3.72.0

Quality: certification register and controlled document management

October 30, 2026
Production

Quality now has a certification register, controlled quality documents with approval and effective dates, controlled copies, and a record retention register.

New Feature

Published documents for all users

Every user can read published quality documents and acknowledge them, without needing access to the quality registers.

Quality Management Global
New Feature

Certification register with expiry alerts

Keep achieved and planned certificates with standard, certification body, scope, plants and files. Record surveillance audits, and the next audit date rolls forward. Expired status, colours and days to expiry are shown automatically. You get alerts 90 and 30 days before expiry and 30 days before a surveillance audit.

Quality Management Global
New Feature

Certificate pack PDF per plant

Print a certificate pack for a plant. It has a cover page followed by the certificate PDFs, and expired certificates are left out.

Quality Management Global
New Feature

Controlled quality documents with numbering and approval

Quality documents get numbers from their document type's pattern, and a number is never reused. Each revision is approved by the approvers set on the type. A revision with a future effective date waits as Approved and becomes current on that date. Quality revisions can no longer be submitted from the general policy screen. They must be submitted from Quality > Documents.

Quality Management Global
New Feature

Master Document List and review tracking

Print the Master Document List, where drafts are marked 'Draft - not in use'. See which documents are due for review, and record a review with no change.

Quality Management Global
New Feature

Controlled copies with automatic withdrawal

The issue list is proposed from the document's distribution list. Each issued copy prints with its copy number, revision and effective date. When a revision is superseded, its issued copies appear as withdrawal lines until you confirm them. Every other print is marked UNCONTROLLED COPY with the date and user, and attached PDFs get the same watermark.

Quality Management Global
New Feature

Document types, record retention and quality roles

Set up document types with numbering pattern, approver steps, review period, retention and ISO 9001:2015 clauses. Keep a retention schedule and disposal register for hard-copy records. A batch cannot be disposed of before its retain-until date. Assign quality roles per plant and print the quality organisation. A new Document Controller role is available.

Quality Management Global
3.72.1

Receipts can clear credit notes; asset numbering fixed

October 30, 2026
Production

Customer receipts can now settle invoices together with open credit notes and receipts, and new fixed assets always get a unique number.

Bug Fix

Reversing a receipt now restores the credits it used

Reversing a receipt that cleared credit notes or other receipts now makes those credits available again and reopens the invoices. Before, the invoice stayed partly settled and the credit stayed marked as used.

Finance Global
Bug Fix

Fixed asset numbers no longer clash or restart

Saving several new fixed assets at the same time no longer fails with an error on a duplicate asset number. Assets imported with their own numbering no longer reset the automatic AST series back to 000001.

Finance Global
Bug Fix

Printed receipts list only invoices actually paid

A credit note cleared alongside a receipt no longer shows up as an invoice paid on the printed receipt.

Finance Global
Improvement

Clearer checks on receipt amounts

The receipt amount is now figured as the invoices selected less the credits selected. You are warned if credits exceed the invoices, exceed what the credit has left, or if the net amount is more than the receipt.

Finance Global
New Feature

Clear credit notes and open receipts on a customer receipt

The receipt form now lists the customer's credit notes and receipts with money still unapplied, so you can clear them alongside the invoices being paid (for example, invoice 100 = credit note 20 + receipt 80). The list can be filtered by type, overdue, or selected only, searched, and sorted.

Finance Global
3.68.0

CRM Leads redesign: richer lead details, Lost reasons, convert and bulk edit

October 29, 2026
Production

Leads now capture more buyer detail, require a reason when lost, can be linked to a customer, and can be edited or deleted in bulk from a redesigned list.

Improvement

Search and sort leads on more fields

Lead search now also covers mobile, interest, product category, city and GSTIN. You can sort by follow-up date, probability, priority and status, and filter by priority, season and converted customer.

CRM Global
Improvement

Closed leads are now called Lost and need a reason

The Closed status is now labelled Lost. Moving a lead to Lost, singly or in bulk, requires you to choose a reason, and you can add remarks. Leads closed earlier keep their blank reason.

CRM Global
Improvement

New leads list with side-panel editor

The leads list has a new layout with a status summary, and Contact and Company are now separate columns. Leads open in a side panel for editing, and the owner picker works for sales users. Saved column layouts for the leads list are reset once.

CRM Global
New Feature

More detail on every lead

Leads now record priority (Hot, Warm or Cold), product category, season, expected volume with unit and period, target price, city, state, country and GSTIN. GSTIN is checked for a valid format when you save.

CRM Global
New Feature

Proposal Sent stage

A new "Proposal Sent" stage sits between Qualified and Converted. It counts as an open lead, including in the CRM dashboard's stale-leads count.

CRM Global
New Feature

Convert a lead by linking it to a customer

You can convert a lead by linking it to an existing customer of the same company. The lead is marked Converted and the conversion date is recorded. A customer from another company is refused.

CRM Global
New Feature

Edit or delete several leads at once

Select multiple leads to change their status, owner, priority or lost reason together, or to delete them. The result is reported lead by lead, so one failure doesn't stop the rest. You can act on up to 500 leads at a time.

CRM Global
3.69.0

Audit management and line checks in Quality

October 29, 2026
Production

Quality now covers versioned audit checklists, an annual audit programme, tablet-based audit execution with CAPA follow-up, and line checks that warn on the line board.

New Feature

Versioned audit checklist templates

Build checklists with sections and Yes/No/NA, score, numeric or text questions, weights, photo rules and critical flags. A published version is read-only, and an audit keeps the version it started on.

Quality Management Global
New Feature

Annual audit programme with Head of Quality approval

Plan internal and supplier audits separately for each plant and year, with a suggested frequency, approval by the Head of Quality, audit generation and a month calendar. You can print the programme.

Quality Management Global
New Feature

Qualified and independent auditors

Auditors are checked against their Hire to Retire training records. Someone auditing their own department or process, or a supplier they buy from, is refused, and there is no override.

Quality Management Global
New Feature

Run audits on a tablet or desktop

Take photos, see the score update as you answer, and get the auditee's signature. A critical No fails the audit, and nonconformities become draft findings. A submitted audit is read-only, and the QMS Responsible can correct it with a reason. An audit report can be printed.

Quality Management Global
New Feature

Audit findings become CAPAs with verification

Each finding creates a CAPA owned by the process owner, with a target of 7, 30, 60 or 90 days depending on its class. Owners use My audit actions to add the root cause, action plan and evidence. Verification can include photos, and an action marked Not effective reopens the CAPA. Overdue findings are escalated, and customer or certification-body findings have their own classification. A finding sheet can be printed.

Quality Management Global
New Feature

Line checks: first piece, device check and line clearance

Checks are raised at shift start, when an order is first loaded on a line, or by hand. A check is marked Missed after 30 minutes. A new-order check never blocks a scan. After repeated first-piece rejections or a failed device check, a nonconformance is proposed with the suspect pieces listed.

Quality Management Global
New Feature

Line board shows line-check warnings

The line board has a quality tile that warns when a first-piece, device or line-clearance check is open, missed or failed.

Production Global
New Feature

Audit dashboard and six audit reports

The dashboard shows department and plant scores and trends. Six reports are included: programme vs actual, tracking chart, score trend, finding ageing, layered-audit compliance and line-check exceptions. The reports can be exported to Excel, and the line-check exceptions report can be printed.

Quality Management Global
3.70.0

Lot release, dispatch gate, shelf life and traceability

October 29, 2026
Production

Quality now signs lot releases that control what can be dispatched, tracks batch shelf life and retained samples, and offers a traceability search and containment workflow.

New Feature

Signed lot release records and certificates

Each order line and shipment quantity gets a release record that checks final audit lots, third-party clearances, tests, concessions, open NCRs and batches. It is signed with the signer's password or authenticator code, and only users in a release-authority role can sign. Customers flagged for Head of Quality sign-off need the Head of Quality. A signed release is frozen, shows live if anything changed afterwards, and can be printed as a release record or Certificate of Conformity. The Head of Quality can revoke a release that has not been delivered against.

Quality Management Global
New Feature

Dispatch gate on delivery goods issue

When switched on for a plant, a delivery line under the release rule cannot ship more than its open released quantity. The refusal names the line with the released, delivered and requested quantities. Deliveries use the oldest releases first, and reversing a goods issue returns the quantity to the release. The gate is off until Quality turns it on for a plant.

Inventory Global
New Feature

Shelf-life rules and daily re-inspection job

Shelf-life rules can be set per material group and plant. When enabled, a daily job moves batches that are due into Quality Inspection with a re-inspection lot, and blocks expired batches. Accepting the re-inspection lot moves the next due date on. Existing stock gets its first dates through a review step that lists overdue batches first, and nothing is moved in bulk.

Quality Management Global
New Feature

FIFO override for production issue and delivery picking

When the plant's FIFO check is on, picking a younger batch than the oldest eligible one needs a reason and the FIFO override permission. Each override is logged with both batches.

Inventory Global
New Feature

Retained-sample register with label printing

Retained samples are registered with a retain-until date worked out from the retention period. Only the Head of Quality can dispose of a sample early, and must give a reason. Sample labels can be printed.

Quality Management Global
New Feature

Traceability cockpit

Search by order confirmation, line, style, buyer PO, batch, delivery, carton or invoice to see five traceability panels and the last-known-good window. Results can be exported to PDF and CSV. If one panel can't load it shows "Not available" and the others still appear. Operator and machine show "Not captured — Phase 2".

Quality Management Global
New Feature

Containment from complaints and NCRs

Starting containment holds in-house stock at once, with one NCR per material. The stock is then verified 100% and released by the Quality Assurance Manager. Completing containment stamps the complaint's containment date once, and a recall can be raised from it.

Quality Management Global
New Feature

Release set-up, shelf-life and release reports

New Quality pages cover release set-up, shelf life, retained samples, containments and release reports. Scheduled reminders cover pending clearances, releases due, shelf life nearing due, and sample disposal.
