What's new

Turn supplier invoices into material transactions

Material costs no longer need to be re-keyed from a supplier invoice into a separate transaction. Approving a supplier invoice now automatically captures the material costs against the right jobs.

What it does:

• Generates material transactions directly from supplier invoices
• Keeps job costing accurate without duplicate data entry
• Removes a manual step that was prone to copy-paste errors

Where you'll find it: Available wherever supplier invoices are processed -- the linkage is automatic when invoice line items match a material.

Who benefits: Finance, procurement, and project teams who track material costs against jobs and rely on accurate, up-to-the-minute job-cost reporting.

Improvements

Onboarding & account safety

• Stronger team invitations and a smoother sign-up flow -- get crews onboarded faster with fewer hand-offs.
• Account ownership protection -- prevents accidental deletion of an account when you're the owner of a team account, removing a quiet but painful failure mode.

Who benefits: Owners and admins setting up new teams, plus anyone responsible for keeping accounts intact and accessible.

Payroll setup & visibility

• Right activities for pay rates -- see only the activities that matter when configuring pay rates, so setup is faster, errors drop, and connecting to other systems is easier.
• Leave pay items are clearly labeled -- approvers and reporters can see exactly what's leave at a glance, lifting confidence in approvals and reporting.
• Allowance units in the payroll table (and exports) -- reviewers see quantities right alongside amounts, no extra clicks, and exports carry the same context downstream.
• Visualize and restore archived payroll items -- speeds up audits and gives you a clean undo path when something is archived in error.

Who benefits: Payroll administrators, finance reviewers, and anyone responsible for award compliance and rate setup.

Payroll accuracy fixes

Five fixes that directly improve trust in your payroll numbers:

• Weekly second overtime calculates correctly -- complex weekly OT rules now produce the right values.
• Rate time slots display in the right order -- review and audit rate structures without rearranging in your head.
• Saturday overtime no longer splits allowances incorrectly -- weekend pay runs match what your award says.
• Allowance "start after hours" plays nicely with overtime -- conditional allowance start times no longer collide with OT logic.
• Export dates parse consistently across regions -- whatever locale you operate in, exported dates land the way you expect.

Who benefits: Payroll administrators, finance, and anyone reconciling timesheets, allowances, and overtime against award rules.

Security & reliability

• Core package updates -- key dependencies bumped to the latest stable versions to patch known vulnerabilities.
• Faster, more reliable experiences -- noticeable improvements across login, payroll, and exports.

No action needed. Updates are rolled out automatically.

Why it matters for construction teams

For payroll administrators: Five accuracy fixes -- second weekly overtime, rate time slot ordering, Saturday overtime allowance splits, "start after hours" allowance logic, and date parsing on exports -- collectively remove the kind of small-but-painful errors that cost real time at the end of every cycle. Combined with allowance units in the payroll table and clearer leave pay item labels, reviews and approvals get faster and more confident.

For finance and procurement teams: Supplier invoices automatically generating material transactions means job costing stays current without duplicate data entry. Less manual work, fewer transcription errors, and tighter cost visibility on every job.

For owners and account admins: Stronger onboarding plus protection against accidental owner deletion means new crews get on faster and existing accounts stay safe.

For everyone: Security patches and reliability improvements across login, payroll, and exports keep the platform fast and dependable.

Real-world impact:

• Tighter job costing: Material transactions flow automatically from supplier invoices -- no more rekeying.
• Truer payroll: Five OT, allowance, and date-parsing fixes remove recurring sources of error.
• Faster reviews: Allowance units visible in the payroll table cut clicks during review and approvals.
• Safer accounts: Owners can no longer accidentally delete their team accounts.
• Quicker onboarding: A smoother sign-up and team-invitation flow gets crews up and running faster.
