Create Purchase Orders from Multiple Segments in One Place
Centralized purchasing just got easier with cross-segment PR to PO tagging
New Feature JOB-157375

📌 Overview

If your organization handles purchasing centrally — say, your Bangalore office creates Purchase Orders for requisitions coming from Hyderabad and Accessories segments — this feature is made for you! You can now map multiple segments to a centralized Purchase Order segment, so all Purchase Requisitions flow into one place.

🌟 What This Means for You

No more creating separate Purchase Orders in each segment. Your central procurement team can now see and tag Purchase Requisitions from across the organization, all from a single segment. This saves time, reduces duplication, and streamlines your procurement process.

🛠 Quick Setup

Simply map which segments should feed into your centralized PO segment, then click save. It’s that easy!

🎬 Example

Let’s say Hyderabad and Accessories segments raise Purchase Requisitions, and Bangalore handles all purchasing:

1. Map Hyderabad → Bangalore and Accessories → Bangalore.
2. When creating a PO in Bangalore, you’ll see PRs from both segments ready to be tagged.

Good to know: The centralized PO segment (e.g. Bangalore) cannot create its own Purchase Requisitions, as it serves as the hub for processing PRs from other segments.

We know Ctrl + P is the universal shortcut for printing — and now you can use it in RealBooks too! Previously, you had to press Ctrl + Y to print voucher templates from the IBT_REC edit screen. With this update, you can enable the familiar Ctrl + P shortcut through a simple configuration.

🌟 What This Means for You

No more remembering a different shortcut! Enable Ctrl + P and print your IBT_REC voucher templates instantly using the shortcut you already know and love.

🛠 How to Enable It

It’s just a one-time setup:

1. Select IBT_REC as the Nature of Transaction.
2. Set the parameter of “Set the shortcut key for Print Invoice to Ctrl + P” to Yes.
3. That’s it! Now open any IBT_REC voucher in edit mode and press Ctrl + P to print.

📌 Overview

You Can Now Freely Change Reference Types in Journal Entries
No more getting stuck when switching between “New” and “On Account”
Bug Fix JOB-157838

📌 What Was Happening

If you were working with a Journal entry that had two parties with the same bill number and one party’s bill was tagged — the other party’s reference type got stuck. You couldn’t switch it from “New” to “On Account”, which meant extra workarounds.

🌟 What This Means for You

This is now fixed! You can freely change reference types for any party, regardless of what’s happening with the other entries. Your workflow stays smooth and uninterrupted.

No More Accidental Negative Stock in Delivery Orders
The system now alerts you before stock goes below zero
Bug Fix JOB-157744

📌 What Was Happening

When creating a Delivery Order with multiple Sales Orders for the same item, the system wasn’t checking the combined quantity properly. For example, if you had 8 items available and two Sales Orders for 10 each, the system let you enter 10 + 10 = 20 — well beyond what’s in stock.

🌟 How This Helps You

You’ll now see a clear warning — “Input Quantity exceeds Available Qty” — before any overselling happens. This protects your inventory accuracy and prevents fulfillment issues down the line.

Cheque Printing Now Properly Respects Your Approval Workflow
Unapproved payment vouchers can no longer be printed as cheques
Bug Fix JOB-157860

📌 What Was Happening

Even though you had set “Allow Print Before Final Approval” to No in your Approval Workflow, the Cheque Print option was still showing up in DayBook and Ledger Reports for unapproved vouchers. Template printing was correctly blocked, but cheque printing slipped through.

🌟 How This Helps You

Your approval controls are now fully enforced. Cheque Print is hidden until the voucher is approved, giving you complete confidence that no unapproved payments are being printed.

All Stock Journal Types Now Open Properly from the Stock Journal Report
CWIP, CON & Physical variations are fully accessible again
Bug Fix JOB-158260

📌 What Was Happening

If your company uses Direct Stock Accounting, you may have noticed that Stock Journal CWIP, CON, and Physical entries wouldn’t open in edit mode from the Stock Journal Report. You had to go through the Ledger Report instead — an unnecessary extra step.

🌟 How This Helps You

All Stock Journal variations now open directly from the Stock Journal Report, just as you’d expect. No more workarounds needed!

Tax Tab Now Shows the Correct Item Number in Orders
No more confusion between item numbers and tax entries
Bug Fix JOB-156708

📌 What Was Happening

When you had multiple items in a Sale Order or Purchase Order and only some had tax, the Tax tab was showing the wrong serial numbers. For example, if Item #2 had tax but Item #1 didn’t, the Tax tab confusingly showed it as serial no. 1.

🌟 How This Helps You

The Tax tab now correctly matches the item serial numbers from the Items tab. If tax applies to Item #2, you’ll clearly see “2” in the Tax tab. No more guesswork!

Party Ledgers Created via API Now Always Show the Party Info Tab
State mismatches in API data no longer cause missing information
Bug Fix JOB-158355

📌 What Was Happening

If a party ledger was created through the API and the state name didn’t quite match the state code (for example, code “29” is Karnataka, but the name was sent as “West Bengall” with a typo), the ledger was created — but the crucial Party Info tab was completely missing. This meant you couldn’t see or edit party details.

🌟 How This Helps You

The system is now smarter about handling state data. It trusts the State Code as the source of truth, so even if the state name has a typo, everything works correctly. The Party Info tab will always appear with the right state information.
