v26.16

We are pleased to share the latest updates and enhancements introduced in Version 26.16. Below are the key features and improvements, along with their respective locations for easy reference.

New Features​

1. Direct Invoice (Non-PO Invoice)​

Location: You can access Direct Invoice under Accounts → Operations

Details:

  • A new Direct Invoice screen has been introduced to record supplier bills that do not come from a Purchase Order or a GRN — for example consultancy charges, professional fees, rent, and other expense billing.
  • Search: Filter direct invoices by Supplier, Invoice Number, Status (Draft / Confirmed), and a mandatory Invoice Date range (defaults to the current financial year, up to 12 months). The results table shows the invoice number, supplier, invoice date, category, grand total, and status, along with a result count and a table-level search box. Your last search is kept when you open an invoice and come back, and after saving, the search page opens on the saved invoice.
  • Export for Tally: Users with Tally export access can filter by Export Status, select confirmed direct invoices, and export them to Tally from the search page — the same way as GRN Invoice. Draft invoices cannot be exported.
  • Header details: Capture the Supplier, Supplier Billing Address, Invoice Number, Invoice Date, Payment Terms, Due Days, Due Date, Category (P&L head), Account Ledger, Applied TDS/TCS, TDS/TCS Section, and Remarks.
  • Duplicate check: The invoice number is validated against the same supplier's existing direct and GRN invoices, and the invoice cannot be saved while the number is a duplicate.
  • Payment terms drive the due date: Selecting a payment term fills the Due Days and calculates the Due Date as Invoice Date + Due Days, the same way Supplier PO does. Only the terms valid for the selected invoice date are listed, and a single valid term is selected automatically.
  • GST follows the supplier billing address: CGST % and SGST % for an intra-state supplier, IGST % for an inter-state supplier, and no GST for an export supplier. GST rates are optional (0–100). The supplier and billing address are locked once line items are added, so the GST basis of existing lines can never change underneath them.
  • Expense line items: Add, edit, and delete expense lines with a Description, an optional HS Code, a Taxable Amount, and the applicable GST rates. The line tax, line total, taxable subtotal, tax, TDS/TCS, and grand total are all calculated automatically.
  • TDS/TCS: Handled the same way as GRN Invoice — the supplier's TDS/TCS sections are used, the default section is suggested when the single-bill limit or the annual financial-year limit is crossed, and your own selection is never overwritten. A section is mandatory whenever TDS or TCS is applied. On Confirm, if the limits require TDS/TCS but none is applied, a confirmation popup asks whether to proceed.
  • Draft / Confirm: Save the invoice as a Draft to complete it later, or Confirm it to make it payable. Saving drafts and confirming are controlled by separate access rights, and a confirmed invoice cannot be moved back to draft.
  • Edit lock after payment: Once a payment is recorded against a direct invoice, it can no longer be edited. The check is repeated at save time and enforced by the server.
  • Payment: A confirmed direct invoice needs no further step — it is listed in GRN Invoice Payment alongside the supplier's GRN invoices and is paid and tracked in the same way.

Enhancements​

1. Invoice Type Column on Payment Advice​

Location: You can access Payment Advice under Accounts → Operations

Details:

  • The payment list on the Payment Advice edit screen now shows an Invoice Type column before the GRN Invoice No column.
  • The column displays the type of each invoice included in the payment — for example Purchase Inward, Returnable DC Inward, Supplier Job Work Inward, Service PO Inward, or Direct for a Direct Invoice.
  • This makes it easy to tell at a glance which invoices in a payment came from a GRN and which were raised directly.

Overall Application enhancement:​

  • We have improved both backend and frontend components to enhance the application's speed, stability, and overall performance.
  • The application submission process has been optimized to ensure a smoother and faster user experience.
