What’s New in
Release 1.8

Release 1.8 brings powerful new capabilities — from an AI-powered chat assistant to multi-currency support and smarter expense management. Here’s everything you need to know.

AI Chat Assistant

Get instant answers without leaving the system. The new built-in AI Chat Assistant helps you navigate features, understand workflows, and resolve questions on the spot — accessible directly from the user menu.


Advanced Capability Bundle

A new add-on package designed to extend your system’s flexibility and global readiness. The bundle includes three modules:

Sales & Service Tax (SST) Existing Add-On

Automatically applies SST to invoice items and calculates tax payable. The SST Summary Report groups tax amounts and outstanding balances by tax type and rate for any selected period.

UOM Conversion New

Maintain precise inventory levels across different units of measure — from boxes to individual pieces. Configure via:

Menu → Master Data → UOM Conversion

UOM options appear in quotations, sales orders, invoices, and purchase orders. Conversion factors are applied automatically when inventory quantities are updated.

Multi-Currency New

Issue invoices and receive payments in any international currency. Exchange rates can be auto-retrieved from Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) or set manually per transaction.

Foreign exchange gains and losses are recorded automatically. Configure the FX Gain/Loss account at:

Main Menu → Accounting → Chart of Account → Configure Rules

Activate the Advanced Capability Bundle from the Subscription page.


Fractional Quantity Support

More precise stock handling is now available for partial units and weighted items.

4
decimal places for item quantities
6
decimal places for unit cost & purchase prices

This enables higher accuracy in cost tracking across inventory and purchasing workflows.


Expense Approval Workflow & OCR Improvement

A more structured and secure process for managing employee expense submissions and approvals, alongside improved OCR accuracy for receipt scanning.

Employee Self-Service

Employees can view, create, and submit their own expense claims — with no visibility into other users’ records. Enable via:

User Menu → Sub-users → Sub-user Role → Expenses → Self-service

Manager Approval

Managers with Full Access permission under Expenses can review, approve, or reject submitted claims from their team.

OCR Improvement

Optical Character Recognition accuracy has been improved for expense receipt scanning. Use the re-scan option with enhanced preprocessing to get better text recognition results.


Enhancements & Bug Fixes

Various performance improvements and UX refinements have been applied across the platform to ensure a smoother, more reliable experience for all users.
