What we shipped, in plain language.

Calibrations record readings per test point (as-found, as-left, error and tolerance), and the result is the as-found verdict. External calibration needs a lab accreditation that is valid on the date plus the certificate file. Internal tape verification needs a reference standard.

Each instrument now holds its plant, range, least count, accuracy, calibration method, lab, criticality, MSA settings, daily check, custodian and department. Due and Overdue are worked out from the next due date and the plant's due window instead of being typed. Under repair, Lost and Obsolete are new statuses, and status changes only through actions such as send to lab, out of service or return to service.

You can run gauge R&R (average and range), bias and linearity studies, judged against acceptance limits per instrument category that are frozen on the study. The Head of Quality decides a Conditional GR&R result. A Not acceptable result proposes taking the instrument out of service.

Each instrument gets one daily check per working day. The check is marked Missing after the plant's cut-off time (11:00). A failed check on a process machine proposes raising an NCR.

There are five new calibration reports and an instrument history card. You can print a QR instrument label, a DO NOT USE label, the history card and an MSA report. Scheduled jobs send notifications for due calibrations, overdue returns, missing daily checks and expiring lab accreditations. Impact assessments and MSA studies get their own document numbers.

Lot results and measurement-check values can now store the instrument used. A picker lists usable instruments for the plan's category, with the custodian's first. An instrument that is out of service, overdue or the wrong category is refused by name. Making the instrument mandatory is a per-plant setting that is off by default.

A failed as-found calibration, a lost instrument or a damaged return opens an assessment. It lists every lot measured with the instrument since its last passed calibration and shows where each batch is now. For each lot you choose No impact, Re-inspect or NCR, and a remark is required. Return to service needs the assessment complete and a passing calibration after the trigger.

Instruments can be issued with a condition and returned, and overdue returns and calibration recalls are flagged.

The assistant only sees the orders you can already see on the grid for your active company. It uses the INR amount for totals and declines to add order-currency amounts across different currencies. Periods such as this financial year use the Indian April–March year.

A new Ask AI button next to the grid tabs opens a floating assistant that answers questions about your sales orders, such as top customers, monthly trends and overdue deliveries. Answers appear as a table, chart or KPI tiles, and you can limit them to the rows your search and filters currently show.

The assistant window can be dragged by its header, resized from any edge or corner, and expanded to full page with the button or a double-click. Close it with the ✕ button or Esc. It remembers its size and position in your browser.

Giving a user a role that was previously taken away used to fail with a server error. The role is now reactivated, and assigning a role the user already holds shows a clear message naming it.

Receiving a purchase order with many lines now completes in a fraction of the time (a 30-line receipt dropped from about 69 seconds to 12). Budget commitments come out the same as before.

Journals with many lines no longer recalculate budget consumption repeatedly on every line save, so they save and post faster. Budget figures are unchanged.

Lists such as BOMs, routings, production orders, pre-packs, change orders, change requests, holidays, holiday calendars, capacity profiles and sales order BOMs now use the same grid. Paging, sorting, searching and column filtering run on the server, so large data sets load faster.

The capacity planning and CRP report pages, along with Component Allocation and the change management settings, were rebuilt on the standard grid for consistent filtering and display.

The Gantt chart and planning board can now load orders page by page, which keeps them responsive with large schedules.

The Production Scheduling dashboard lists every planned or released order in a pageable grid, sorted most urgent first by critical ratio. Previously it showed only the 200 most urgent orders.

Several Production grids, including holiday calendars and the scheduling lists, can now export the whole filtered result to Excel rather than only the visible page.

The scheduling screens now have a searchable, filterable grid of scheduled operations. It shows planned start and finish and whether each operation finishes after the order's required date, and it can be exported to Excel.

Usage decisions now include Repair, Regrade and Use as-is alongside rework, reject, return and scrap. Existing Conditional accept decisions become Use as-is. Every split other than Accept must name its NCR.

A disposition that needs approval is saved as Proposed and posts nothing until it is approved in My Approvals. The proposer cannot approve it. If posting is refused after approval, it stays Approved – not posted with the reason so QA can retry. Reports, TNA, scorecards and dashboards count only posted decisions.

Raise concessions or deviations with evidence, quantity and validity limits, approval workflow and the customer's written approval attached. Use as-is draws on an approved, unexpired concession, which is consumed as used and lapses at expiry. Concessions can be printed.

NCRs now record area, stage detected, order, style, line, shift, quantities and defect codes. Critical NCRs can stop production and alert supervisors at once. Batches are held under the NCR and cannot be closed while held. A red tag can be printed, and holding-limit alerts appear after 30 days. Repeat problems are detected daily and a CAPA is proposed.

Complaints record customer, channel, shipment, quantity, evidence, claim and debit-note reference. Seven SLA dates come from a configurable matrix, with hourly escalation when they are missed. Complaints close only after CAPA effectiveness is confirmed or the Head of Quality overrides.

CAPAs follow a template chosen by severity (5-Why, Fishbone, 8D or DMAIC) with interim, permanent and preventive actions in sequence. Effectiveness checks fall due after 30 days or 3 production orders, and fixes can be deployed horizontally. CAPA and 8D reports can be printed.

One read-only action tracker covers NCRs, CAPA actions, complaint dates, audit findings and management-review items, with a My actions view and Excel export. Six new reports cover NCR ageing, blocked stock, dispositions, concessions, complaint SLA and CAPA.

Quality managers can maintain the approval matrix, scrap limit, holding periods, repeat and effectiveness settings, working hours and SLA matrix. A tester shows who approves a given split.

The Attributes, Groups and Work Centre Capabilities tabs now use the standard grid with consistent sorting, filtering and paging.

The SO Reservation Ledger and Production Confirmation screens now use the same standard grid, with consistent sorting, filtering and column sizing.

The MRP Runs and Planned Orders lists now page, sort, search and filter on the server and can be exported to Excel. Bulk actions on planned orders work on a selection ticked across several pages.

The Missing Parts report now works out shortages on the server, so sorting, column filters, search and the summary cards cover all lines, not just the current page. You can export the full filtered report to Excel.

The Shop Floor list now pages, sorts, searches and filters on the server, so it stays fast with many operations. Date columns sort and filter by the date shown, and you can export the full filtered list to Excel.

The Shop Floor page's sales order filter is now filled from the sales orders that actually have operations.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
