General

CO2 Emission Parameters at Company Division Level

The CO2 emission parameters for print score calculations have been moved from global system settings to the Company Data level. This enhancement allows you to configure different CO2 emission parameters for each holding or department/division within your organization. When parameters are defined at the department level, they take priority over the base settings. If no department-specific parameters are configured, the system automatically falls back to your base parameters. This is particularly valuable for companies operating multiple business units with different environmental profiles, such as large format printing divisions versus offset printing divisions.

Data Planning Status Indicator Fix

Resolved an issue in the data planning module where the status indicator light would incorrectly turn red when changing a job's planning status, even though no actual changes had occurred. This bug appeared after implementing enhanced information display in the planning info window. The status change detection logic has been corrected to accurately reflect when genuine changes have been made.

Quick Navigation to Control Center

A new navigation button has been added to facilitate easier movement from job screens to the Control Center (Cockpit). While navigation from the Cockpit to individual jobs was already straightforward, this enhancement addresses feedback that navigating in the opposite direction was challenging. This button provides the most efficient navigation path currently possible within the system architecture.

Calculations, Jobs and Delivery Notes

Production File Thumbnail Priority Management

Three new thumbnail variables have been introduced to give production files proper priority over order files when displaying images on printed documents. These variables provide automatic fallback to order thumbnails when no production file exists:
  • Work Sheet: aVERSIES_THUMBNAIL - Array displaying the production file thumbnail with automatic fallback
  • Order Confirmation: vVERSIE_THUMBNAIL - Production version thumbnail with fallback capability
  • Sticker: aTHUMBNAIL - Assigned production thumbnail with fallback
This functionality was already available for delivery notes and resolves a long-standing issue where thumbnails became outdated when production files were assigned. For custom layouts such as work sheets, contact Application Support for implementation (counts as one of three complimentary annual layout changes). Order confirmation implementation can be completed independently by adding the variable to creation fields.

Label Product Dimensions Order Update

The order of dimension input for label products has been updated to align with industry standards. The system now uses the width × height format, which is the standard convention throughout the label industry. Previously, MultiPress used height × width ordering. This change ensures consistency with Digiflex specifications and industry communication practices. Existing product configurations were automatically converted during the upgrade.

Finishing Calculation Improvements for Small Time Values

Enhanced the calculation methodology for finishing operations with very small setup times. The system now correctly processes operations with time values as small as 0.003 hours (such as car wrapping and certain finishing processes). Previously, these extremely small values could cause calculation inconsistencies. The background calculation logic has been refined to ensure accurate pricing even when working with minimal time increments.

Production and Shipment Planning

MyParcel Sender Address Support

When creating shipments through MyParcel, the production location can now be transmitted as the sender address. This feature is currently validated for use in the Netherlands only. While it has been implemented in response to customer requirements, organizations in other countries should verify compatibility with their local MyParcel service before implementation.

Reservations, Purchasing and Stock Materials

EUDR Reference Tracking System

A comprehensive tracking system for EUDR (European Union Deforestation Regulation) reference numbers has been implemented throughout the production workflow. Key features include:
  • New EUDR-M tab in the Management module under Stock section for centralized tracking
  • EUDR reference and verification number fields available for invoice and delivery note layouts
  • Entry of EUDR reference numbers during goods receipt, automatically linked to lot numbers
  • Automatic tracking of which EUDR numbers are used in which jobs as materials are consumed
  • Bi-directional search capability: find jobs by EUDR verification number or find EUDR references by job number
This implementation provides the foundation for EUDR compliance auditing and environmental reporting. As EUDR requirements continue to evolve, additional reporting features will be added to support comprehensive compliance documentation.

Invoicing

Electronic Invoicing - PDF Attachments via Peppol

PDF attachments can now be transmitted through the Peppol network alongside electronic invoices. Any PDF files placed in the "Invoice Attachment" folder within each job's folder structure are automatically encoded and sent with the Peppol invoice. This enables transmission of supporting documents such as delivery notes, detailed reports, or other relevant documentation. Note that Peppol only accepts PDF format for attachments.

Electronic Invoicing - Customer Note Field

A new note field has been added to the financial settings section for each customer. This field allows definition of fixed text that will be automatically included in all electronic invoices sent to that customer. This is particularly useful for standard legal disclaimers, payment terms, or other mandatory clauses. The text is transmitted as part of the invoice information through Peppol.

Electronic Invoicing - Invoice Locking After Transmission

To maintain data integrity and comply with direct VAT reporting requirements, invoices are now automatically locked after successful transmission through the Peppol network. Once an invoice has been placed on the Peppol network and sent to the accounting system, it cannot be modified. This prevents unauthorized changes to officially submitted invoices. System administrators can reset the lock status through the "Evidence" section if exceptional circumstances require reopening an invoice.

Electronic Invoicing - Configuration Status Indicator

When creating a new invoice for a customer, a visual indicator (red flag) now appears in the top-right corner of the invoice screen if electronic invoicing has not been configured for that customer. This early warning helps identify and configure necessary settings before attempting to send the invoice. The indicator displays the current configuration status on hover and automatically updates once electronic invoicing is properly configured. This feature is only visible when the Electronic Invoicing module is enabled.

Bug Fixes and Minor Improvements

This release includes corrections to the data planning status indicator logic and refinements to calculation processing for edge cases involving very small time values. Quality assurance improvements have been made to ensure more consistent detection of actual data changes and more accurate pricing calculations across all finishing operations.
