Updates

Product updates from PurchasePlus — newest first.

10 August 2026

PurchasePlus now speaks seven more languages. New P+ is available in Arabic for Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates — with the entire interface flipped to a right-to-left layout — alongside Vietnamese, Indonesian, Malay, Hindi, Filipino and Korean. Choose your language once and it stays with your profile.

  • Yield-aware recipe costing — Recipes now carry an Ingredient Yield % on every ingredient line and a Process Yield % on the recipe header, so purchase quantities, edible-portion costs and cost per serve reflect what is actually lost in trimming and cooking.
  • A smarter Stocktake calculator — the calculator now multiplies and divides, so you can enter a case quantity as 24 x 8, and it starts from the count already on the line instead of asking you to retype it.
  • Requisitions use today's catalogue price — re-ordering a requisition and passing final approval both refresh catalogue-backed line prices to your supplier's current price.
  • Credit Note Date from the Information Panel — update the date straight from the credit note Summary page, matching how Invoice Date already works.

A release that opens PurchasePlus to new markets and sharpens the numbers behind your recipes and orders.

Here is everything that landed this release.

Recipes

Recipes now handles yield properly. Until now a recipe costed as though every gram you purchased made it into the dish. You can now tell PurchasePlus how much is lost in prep and cooking, and every quantity and cost downstream follows.

  • Ingredient Yield % and Process Yield % — Ingredient Yield % sits after Measure on each ingredient line and Process Yield % on the recipe header, both defaulting to 100%. As-purchased quantity becomes portion ÷ ingredient yield and the edible-portion unit cost rises to match, so a yield below 100% increases the line cost, total recipe cost and finished-unit cost. Process yield sets the servable batch (declared batch × process yield), which cost per unit and cost percentage are calculated against.
  • Sub-recipe consumption by Portion — sub-recipe lines consume a single editable Portion in the child recipe's batch unit, with Consumption % derived from Portion ÷ servable batch. Consuming more than 100% of a batch is allowed and simply flags amber, so it never blocks you.
  • Automatic daily recipe cost recalculation — a new setting in Admin Center → Organisation Settings → General lets admins opt in to a nightly refresh of recipe live costs, instead of recalculating by hand from each recipe.
  • Refreshed recipe detail header — header metadata now sits in separate cards, the recipe image is larger, and the labels are clearer: Yield Quantity, Serving Size, Last Modified, Total Recipe Cost, Cost Price Per Unit, Cost Percentage, Gross Profit and Sales Price Per Unit.
  • Sub-recipe picker shows only recipes you can use — the Recipes tab in the ingredient adder now lists recipes owned by the same organisation as the recipe you are editing, so every sub-recipe you pick will save.
  • Recipe list scoped to your organisation — the recipe list now shows recipes owned by your organisation, its parents and its children, so head office recipes flow down to their sites and nothing from unrelated sites appears alongside them.

Inventory

  • Stocktake calculator with multiply and divide — opening the calculator on a stocktake line pre-fills the count already entered as Already Counted. The entry field accepts multiplication and division (typed as *, x, X or /) evaluated left to right, with a live "= result" preview and a keypad covering 0–9, 00, decimal, multiply, divide, clear and backspace. Each entry you add joins a Newly Counted list showing its expression and value, with a remove control and a running subtotal, and the New Count is Already Counted plus that subtotal.
  • Cleaner Transfer print out — the Transfer document print out now leads with the transfer detail at the top of the page, consistent with every other document you print from PurchasePlus.

Purchasing

Purchase Orders & Requisitions

  • Current catalogue prices on re-order and final approval — catalogue-backed requisition lines are now re-checked against your supplier's current price when you re-order and again at final approval, before the purchase order is created, so orders go out at the price the supplier charges today. Manually entered prices are left as you set them, and prices stay steady through the middle of a multi-step approval.
  • Full-width requisition print — the requisition print view now uses the full page width, so line item columns display clearly instead of being compressed.
  • Approvals stay in step with the document — cancelling a document now closes every approval running against it, and approving or cancelling acts on exactly the approval you selected, so requisitions keep moving.

Invoice Processing

Statement Reconciliation

  • Find statements from Scanning Service jobs and Paperless Emails — filter Scanning Service jobs and Paperless Emails by Statement, and use the new links in the information panels to jump from a statement to the scanning task that created it, just as you already can for invoices.
  • Deleted statements stay readable — deleted statements now carry a Deleted status and remain viewable, matching how deleted scanning jobs behave.

Invoices & Credit Notes

  • Credit Note Date editable from the Information Panel — an Update control on the Credit Note Date on the credit note Summary page lets you change the date in place, matching the Invoice Date on invoices. Available to users with permission to edit credit notes.

Suppliers

  • Manage destination outboxes in New P+ — the More menu on a supplier's Destinations tab now lets you edit or delete a destination outbox and set your default, all without leaving New P+.
  • Enable and Disable respects Can Manage Suppliers — the Enable / Disable control on a supplier profile now honours the Can Manage Suppliers permission, so only the right people can change a supplier's status.

Miscellaneous

  • Seven new languages, including Arabic with right-to-left layout — language selection now offers Arabic (Saudi Arabia), Arabic (United Arab Emirates), Vietnamese, Indonesian, Malay, Hindi, Filipino and Korean, with the interface translated and your choice saved to your profile. For Arabic the whole layout flips to right-to-left, including spacing, alignment, icons, menus and printed documents.
  • Faster first page load — PurchasePlus now loads its document viewer, PDF export and rich-text editor only on the screens that need them, so your first page of the day arrives noticeably quicker.

Behind the scenes

  • The team also made behind-the-scenes improvements to keep PurchasePlus fast, reliable and ready for what's next.

New languages, sharper recipe costing and better pricing accuracy on every order — plenty to explore in this one.

22 July 2026

Recipes get a major refresh in PurchasePlus — culinary and cost-control teams now have Preparations and Presentation tabs on Recipe detail, a costing and profitability summary, and a Nutrition tab with calculator, plus Nutrition on the Recipe Card and Print Recipe when nutrition has been set.

  • Live budget while you shop a Requisition — the requisition product picker shows a live budget position as you add items, and All Requisitions has a one-click Re-Order action to clone and re-populate a new requisition.
  • Approval Workflows by Account Code — assign workflows at Organisation Unit plus Account Code on the Assignments tab, so accounts under the same department can route to different approval paths.
  • Statement Reconciliation polish — soft-delete Statements from More Options, upload CSV statements again (PDF still goes through Scanning Service), open completed statement scans on the Statement summary, and clearer document-number reading for matching.
  • Goods Receiving progress — Receiving Notes show completion progress in the header, with filters for received vs remaining lines (partly received counts as remaining).

A strong release for the kitchen, purchasing, Finance, and receiving — plenty of concrete wins to share with customers!

Here's a closer look at what's new, grouped by area.

Recipes

Recipe detail expands for chefs and F&B managers with richer costing, nutrition, and prep content.

  • Preparations and Presentation tabs — Recipe detail now includes Preparations and Presentation in the page navigation.
  • Updated Recipe identity header — Recipe detail shows image, Inventory/Non-Inventory, depth, product tags, yield, serving size, primary menu link, and Created At / Last Modified from audit activity.
  • Costing and profitability summary — see Total Recipe Cost with serve count, Cost Per Unit, COGS and Gross Profit visuals (ex-tax), edit the ex-tax sale price inline with auto-save, and apply a suggested price from cost per unit / target %.
  • Nutrition tab and calculator — generate nutrition on the Nutrition tab (with assumptions and limitations shown), and include a Nutrition Panel on the Recipe Card and Print Recipe when nutrition has been set.

Purchasing

Purchase Orders & Requisitions

  • Live budget position in the requisition product picker — a budget bar at the top of the shop updates as items are added, so requestors can see spend against budget before checkout.
  • Re-Order from All Requisitions — a Re-Order action on the requisition row More menu clones and re-populates a new requisition in one click.
  • Approval Workflows by Account Code — the Assignments tab supports Account Code granularity so an Organisation Unit plus Account can route to its own workflow.
  • Approval Workflow matches the in-flight path — on Requisitions, Invoices, Credit Notes, and Transfers, the workflow shown is the one the document started on, even if assignments have changed since.

Invoice Processing

Statement Reconciliation

Finance teams get more control over Statements and more reliable matching and scanning.

  • Soft-delete Statements — Delete Statement is available in More Options on the Statement page; soft-deleted statements stay hidden from the statements table by default, with a filter to show them when needed.
  • CSV statement upload — the statement upload page accepts CSV again — review extracted lines, then create — while PDF continues through Scanning Service.
  • Statement scans open the Statement summary — completed statement-type Scanning Service jobs open on the Statement summary instead of the invoice creator.
  • Statement summary stays responsive during auto-link — auto-linking many unmatched lines with match suggestions now completes cleanly on the Statement summary page.
  • Clearer document numbers from statement extraction — statement line document numbers read digits more reliably (including 8 vs 6), so matches against invoices are more likely to succeed.
  • Automatic statement line matching — statement lines are matched to Invoices and Credit Notes by document number (same supplier first, then broader rules), setting the matched document and attention reasons automatically.

Invoices & Credit Notes

  • Advanced Search on All Invoices — All Invoices includes an advanced search filter section, and the Created On column header opens it (including filters by who created the invoice).

Inventory

  • Goods Receiving progress and line filters — the Receiving Note header shows receiving progress, with filter pills for received vs remaining lines; partly received lines count as Remaining.
  • Stock Items tab loads reliably — the Stock Items tab on a stock location now loads correctly when custom sorting is disabled.

Suppliers

  • Organisation tags on supplier and purchaser lists — organisation tags show under each row name by default on My Suppliers, Supplier Directory, All Purchasers, and Purchaser Directory — not only after an Organisation Tag filter is applied.

Reporting and Analytics

  • Outstanding Purchase Orders report — PurchasePlus includes an Outstanding Purchase Orders report so buyers can see ordered stock not fully invoiced or received, for follow-up and accruals.

Miscellaneous

  • Product audit log change details — the Product Audit Log opens a Versions-style view showing field-level old → new change details, not just the action row.
  • Expected Deliveries Today / Tomorrow widget — the dashboard Expected Deliveries Today and Tomorrow widget now uses the correct calendar dates and populates as expected.

Behind the scenes

  • The team also made behind-the-scenes improvements to keep PurchasePlus fast and reliable.

A great release for Recipes, requisitions, Statement Reconciliation, and receiving — lots to share with our customers!

2 July 2026

Statement Reconciliation now reads your supplier statements for you — upload a statement in PurchasePlus and Scanning Service extracts it automatically, shows live progress while it works, and creates the statement linked back to the scan, so Finance teams no longer have to key statements in by hand.

  • Recipes just got richer — build recipes from other recipes with sub-recipe ingredients, and group, filter and search your menu recipes by section.
  • Approval routing by department and account — assign and resolve approval workflows by department and account together, with a dedicated place to manage those assignments, and approvals already in progress stay on the rules they started on.
  • Buy List & product wins — set out-of-stock per branch on catalogued products, and jump straight to a new Products with Quotes tab on the All Products page.
  • Mark an Invoice or Credit Note as Exported — a new action for documents you've already processed outside PurchasePlus.

A big release for Finance and the kitchen alike, with a long list of practical wins across the product!

Here's a closer look at what's new, grouped by area.

Invoice Processing

Statement Reconciliation

Statement Reconciliation takes another big step forward — you can now hand your supplier statements to Scanning Service instead of entering them line by line.

  • Upload a statement and let Scanning Service read it — upload a supplier statement PDF and PurchasePlus scans it for you, showing live progress on screen until it's finished, then takes you straight to the outcome.
  • Statements recognised automatically — an uploaded document is identified as a statement and processed down the statement path, with duplicate statements detected so the same one isn't created twice.
  • Statements created for you from a scan — a completed scan creates the statement and links back to the scan, so you can open it straight on the created statement and reuse the uploaded PDF.
  • See the statement PDF right in the Power Editor — the Statement Power Editor now displays the source statement document on the page alongside the lines.
  • Deletes keep a full audit trail — removing statements or statement lines records a complete history and handles any linked Invoices and Credit Notes correctly.

Invoices & Credit Notes

  • Mark an Invoice or Credit Note as Exported — for documents you've processed outside PurchasePlus, a new Mark as Exported action is available (for users with the export permission) on Invoices and Credit Notes that are export-ready, exporting or reconciled, with a confirmation step before it's applied.

Recipes

Recipes get their biggest update in a while, with recipe-in-a-recipe support and easier menu navigation for chefs and F&B managers.

  • Recipe-in-a-recipe (sub-recipes) — add another recipe as an ingredient within a recipe, with sub-recipe lines shown and costed in Recipes.
  • Menu recipes grouped and filtered by section — the menu recipes list now groups recipes under their menu section, with section headers plus filtering and search by section.

Purchasing

Purchase Orders & Requisitions

  • Approval workflows by department and account — assign and resolve approval workflows by department and account together, so accounts under the same department can route to different workflows, with a dedicated place to manage those assignments.
  • In-progress approvals stay on the rules they started on — approvals already underway run to completion on the workflow they started on, while new submissions use the current workflow.
  • Approval workflow diagram shows the right approvers — the View Approval Workflow diagram now shows the correct, active approvers.
  • View an invoice's approval workflow from a parent organisation — finance and AP users at a parent organisation can now open the approval workflow on an invoice coded to a child organisation.
  • Edit requisitions while Awaiting Approval — the next approver can now edit a purchase requisition while it's Awaiting Approval, before it's raised to a Purchase Order.
  • Add Product tailored to the requisition type — the Add Product step now adjusts its wording and options to the requisition type and respects the add-products-while-shopping permission, including in Advanced Shopping.
  • Temporary quote permission respected on Unit Price — in Advanced Shopping, editing a line's Unit Price now respects the create-temporary-quote permission: the field is available only to users who can create temporary quotes, and their price edits are captured as temporary quotes.
  • Requisition lines update instantly, even from zero — increasing a line's quantity from zero in Advanced Shopping now updates the line itself alongside the requisition total, in real time.
  • Faster requisition lists — the requisitions list now loads quickly and reliably, even for large organisations.

Buy Lists & Supplier Quoting

  • Per-branch out-of-stock for catalogued products — set and bulk-update out-of-stock per branch on catalogued products, with an out-of-stock column in the catalogs and Products > Catalogs views, plus clearer product-level and catalogue-level controls.
  • "Products with Quotes" tab on All Products — a new tab shows only products that have quotes, so you no longer need to apply the advanced-search filter each time.
  • Every subcategory in the category filter — the All Products category filter now surfaces every subcategory, not just the first set alphabetically.
  • Supplier catalogue price imports process reliably — updating pricing and products via a supplier catalogue price import now processes cleanly.

Suppliers

  • Self-managed catalogs flow to child-org trade relationships — a self-managed catalog created at a parent organisation now flows through to child-organisation trade relationships, so child-org users can requisition against it.
  • Self-managed catalog imports apply your edits — a self-managed catalog bulk import now applies your edited values, including updated supplier product codes.

Inventory

  • Stock location pages load reliably — paging through a stock location's inventory now works smoothly, even when an item has been switched to a non-stock item while still assigned to that location.

Reporting and Analytics

  • Inventory reports display their results — inventory reports now show their results in PurchasePlus whenever valid stock data exists.

Miscellaneous

  • Smoother experience after an idle session — if your session has timed out, PurchasePlus now guides you to sign back in cleanly instead of letting actions like approvals or exports quietly fail.
  • Cleaner scrolling — pages now scroll cleanly, without the extra empty space that could appear at the bottom.

Behind the scenes

  • The team also made behind-the-scenes improvements to keep PurchasePlus fast and reliable.

A packed release — automated statement scanning for Finance, richer Recipes, smarter approval routing, and a long list of practical wins to share with our customers!
