Roadmap Themes 2026
Improved Control of Internal Operations
As globalization continues and access to world markets becomes easier, manufacturing industries are under pressure to remain competitive and improve efficiencies while reducing costs, and being able to deliver their product anywhere in the world at short notice.
These expectations require improved internal controls throughout the manufacturing business. To support this, a number of capabilities are being developed to offer the manufacturing business the required level of internal control.
2026-R2
The Catch Weight capability provides a unified approach to managing products that are bought, stocked, and sold in multiple units of measure. By capturing and tracking actual versus standard weight throughout the product lifecycle, businesses can improve costing accuracy, reduce risk, and gain better control over margins. This enhancement is particularly valuable for industries where weight variability is a critical factor in operations and profitability.
The Unified Product Traceability (UPT) project introduces a scalable and extensible traceability framework within Syspro. Rather than building separate, hard-coded solutions for each regulation, UPT provides a single configurable model that can support a variety of legislative and industry traceability mandates. By embedding a unified product traceability capability into Syspro, manufacturers and distributors can ensure ongoing compliance with emerging global traceability mandates. This not only reduces compliance risk and manual effort but also enhances product visibility, supports faster recalls, and builds trust with consumers and regulators.
We introduced a D - Draft sales order status, activated when the Place orders in draft status setup option is enabled, that holds new orders until the AI Sales Order Rules Engine agent validations pass any warnings are approved. Errors and warnings now appear inline in Sales Order Entry Express at header and line level, and a new Draft Order Review program gives supervisors one workspace to filter, correct, and bulk approve flagged orders. Orders move faster, fewer errors reach fulfillment, and every accepted exception leaves a complete audit trail.
We introduced the option to receive completed sub-job output into inventory instead of issuing it directly to the master job. At receipt you choose whether the produced quantity is issued to the master job as before, received into stock and reserved for the master job, or received into stock as freely available inventory. Reserved stock stays visible and reportable in inventory while being held back from other jobs and orders, and because it sits in a warehouse rather than inside the master job, the receipt can be reversed without first unlinking the jobs.
This gives manufacturers who complete sub-processes ahead of final assembly accurate stock visibility for planning without losing control of job-driven material flow.
This change was done in the following programs and business objects:
-
Job Receipts
-
WIP Inspection
-
WIP Job Receipts business object
-
WIP Inspection Accept into Stock business object
Contract Compliance Management allows Syspro to validate the enforcement of customer contract terms during sales order. This functionality, ensures you can only purchase stock codes explicitly defined in active contracts, eliminating margin leakage and reducing contractual disputes. For Syspro customers managing complex pricing agreements this capability transforms contract management from a post-sale reconciliation process into a real-time prevention system. Distribution companies can benefit through reduced order rework, improved margin protection, and stronger customer relationships built on clear, enforceable agreements.
Container-Based Contract Selling Rules introduces a structured way to define how each stock code is packed, layered, and stacked within specific container types. For every stock code and container combination, you can configure units per layer, layers per container, layer naming conventions, and stacking rules. By linking container rules directly to the item master, the system provides consistent packing standards across warehousing processes. This supports capacity planning, safer stacking practices, and improved operational guidance for enforcing selling rules in container multiples, while driving future functionality on picking, put-away, and storage decisions.
2026-R1
We introduced an enhanced method for managing stock inventory within Syspro Warehouse Management ERP by enabling WMS License Plate Numbering (LPNs) to treat a pallet as a single, scannable unit while retaining item-level visibility. Teams scan one pallet (LPN) to receive, move, and pick, with real-time updates to pallet and item balances that accelerate put-away and picking and reduce scans and errors.
The Unified Product Traceability (UPT) project introduces a scalable and extensible traceability framework within Syspro. Rather than building separate, hard-coded solutions for each regulation, UPT provides a single configurable model that can support a variety of legislative and industry traceability mandates. By embedding a unified product traceability capability into Syspro, manufacturers and distributors can ensure ongoing compliance with emerging global traceability mandates. This not only reduces compliance risk and manual effort but also enhances product visibility, supports faster recalls, and builds trust with consumers and regulators.
We added in-process QMS inspections integrated with WIP. A BOM-operation flag triggers manual/automatic checks, within the Inspection Engine applying configured tests and pass/fail criteria and linking results to jobs. Progression can be blocked on failure, bringing earlier, standardized control and traceability for faster, more confident decisions.
We enhanced Marshalling by introducing configurable Custom Form Fields (CFF) on the packaging header and detail lines. This enables businesses to capture additional, organizational-specific data directly within the pack-and-ship workflow, improving visibility and supporting tailored operational processes.
We introduced bin locations for Stock in Inspection, to ensure specific bin codes can be assigned to items undergoing quality checks. This improves the organization and traceability of stock in inspection and integrates with the Inspection Engine to provide improved visibility and control of inspected goods. This change was done in the following programs:
-
WIP Inspection
Access is controlled by new eSignatures, and the bin is for visibility only until goods are accepted into stock. This improves the organization and traceability of inspected goods.
We enhanced the SO Release Unallocated Kit from Reserve business object to allow Sales Kits and their components to be released from reserve. The enhancement also supports different units of measure (UOMs) on sub-type kit component lines, aligning with Sales Orders kit structure and unit conversion rules.
This improved flexibility when managing kit allocations and reduces manual reconciliation during filfilment.
We enabled the Quantity to allocate field within the Bins, Lots & Serial Allocation program, if the program is called from Job Issues. Real-time checks prevent entries exceeding the available quantity in the selected lots / bins .This delivers precise, auditable issues that are consistent with Syspro's allocation and WIP issue controls.
The new container inventory table (WhmContainerInv) defines how stock codes relate to the container types they are stored in to determine the quantity and packing configuration for a stock code. This was done to accommodate the Container-Based Contract Selling Rules enhancement that will be made available in a subsequent release.
We added a governed Product Classifications section in Stock Code Maintenance with four drop-downs: Product Family, Brand, Formula, and Destination, sourced from maintained code lists (no free-text). All fields are optional, and existing stock codes remain valid even if these classifications are not yet populated. This standardized master data accelerates reporting, reduces spreadsheet effort, and feeds consistent analytics across the ERP.
We added a Reference text field to the Customer Account Payment screen in Syspro Point of Sale. When captured at the till, the reference is posted to Syspro through the AR Payments and Adjustments business object.
This enables back-office teams to quickly identify payments and improve reconciliation and auditability between Syspro Point of Sale transactions and Accounts Receivable records.
We now offer automatic and manual bin-depletion support in Syspro Point of Sale for retailers and businesses that manage inventory using bins. This feature simplifies stock management by providing configurable rules for automatic bin depletion, while also offering manual selection for users who need greater control, with the option to enforce one method or run both side-by-side per business policy.
By introducing both options, we enable businesses to tailor the bin-depletion process to their operational requirements, thereby improving accuracy and inventory management.
We added a Customer Phone Number field to Sales Order Entry in Syspro Point of Sale displaying it immediately when a customer is selected, so operators can call or confirm details without leaving the order screen. This streamlined touch point speed order capture, reduces app-switching, and elevates service at checkout. It builds on Syspro's Sales Order Entry and browser-based POS experience, improving accessibility and operational efficiency for cashiers and sales teams.
We enhanced the Shipment Maintenance business object to automatically populate Expected Cost in LCT Shipment Maintenance when fixed-cost elements apply, using Bill of Landing cost calculations. This aligns business object postings with the UI behavior that surfaces expected values, eliminating manual refresh and delivering consistent, accurate shipment costing and faster reconciliations.
We optimized SQL in Transfer BOM Costs to Warehouse Costs to accelerate cost updates and lower load as data grows. This enhancement improves execution efficiency through targeted SQL optimization techniques. The goal is to reduce processing time, lower system load, and ensure consistent performance as data volumes grow.
Improved Organizational Controls
As the landscape changes, businesses need to focus on improving organizational controls and internal controls.
Improved organizational control will become steadily critical as the business changes and grows, and for improved real-time decision making by the leadership team.
2026-R2
We enhanced AP Invoice Posting to let you set the paying bank at invoice level instead of relying solely on the supplier's default bank. A new opt-in option overrides the supplier bank during invoice capture and stores it against the invoice, so AP Automatic Release of Invoices to Pay pays each invoice from the bank recorded on it. This lets businesses running multiple legal entities consolidate a supplier into a single master record while still paying from the correct legal-entity bank, removing duplicate supplier records and manual payment workarounds. Existing behaviour is unchanged unless the option is enabled, and every bank selection is validated, access-controlled through Operator Maintenance, and written to the eSignature log for a clear audit trail.
2026-R1
The Purchase Pricing Engine centralized supplier pricing management through Purchase Price Groups with prioritized price lists, exception rules, and list statuses.
During requisition and purchase order entry, the system automatically selects the most appropriate supplier price across valid price lists, while considering quantity breaks, minimum quantities, and order multiples. Lead times are also displayed to assist purchasing decisions.
To support the transition to the new engine, built-in review tools, history tracking, and conversion utilities assist organizations in migrating and validating supplier pricing within a single, controlled environment.
We added a setup option that determines whether the foreign exchange variance between the GRN and invoice rates of exchange in AP Invoice Posting is posted to the General Ledger as Realized or Unrealized. The realized account remains the default, while the new option defers recognition to the unrealized account until the invoice is paid, giving you precise control and stronger reporting compliance.
We introduced a new payment type (Digital Payments) in Payment Cycle Maintenance to support digital payment processing solutions (such as Traild). This enables organizations to run supplier payment cycles separately for digital payment platforms while continuing to process checks or EFT payments internally. The capability improves processing efficiency, auditability, and integration with modern payment services.
We optimized the CSH Deposits and Withdrawals business object to improve performance when processing high volumes of transactions while Live General Ledger is enabled.
This ensures faster posting of deposits and withdrawals while maintaining real-time General Ledger integration and financial visibility.
We enhanced the Replace Component Where Used program to allow bulk removal of components by leaving the Replacement Component field blank to delete the part from all selected Bill of Materials after a confirmation prompt. Previously, the program only supported replacing components with substitutes. This improves Bill of Material maintenance by enabling both bulk replacement and removal within the same process.
We introduced a new Print Flag value (R-Reprint) in the Factory Documentation program to identify jobs that require reprinting. New jobs created in Job Review retain the N flag, while modified jobs switch to the R flag to indicate that updated documentation must be reprinted. Batch printing can now filter specifically on reprint jobs, reducing duplicate printing and improving production control.
We updated electronic signatures for Bill of Materials change operations to ensure triggers execute and both header and detail logging is captured.
We enhanced the WIP Job Creation and Maintenance business object to copy materials and operations from non-stocked estimates when creating non-stocked jobs.
This aligns the business object with the Job Entry program behavior and enables fully automated job creation processes based on estimated Bill of Materials.
The system now automatically creates missing General Ledger History records during journal posting. If a required year or ledger code record does not exist in the GenHistory table, it is created automatically. This eliminates posting failures and the need for a manual GL Initial History workaround.
We enhanced eSignatures within the Lot Traceability module that control changes to lot expiry dates. This secures the secures Lot Number Maintenance program and ensures that only authorized users can modify lot expiry dates while maintaining a full audit trail.
You can now post General Ledger Journals up to five financial years in the past. This gives you more flexibility to make corrections or adjustments to older financial periods while remaining compliant with reporting requirements.
We introduced a dedicated Financial Periods program to control the opening and closing of financial periods. This separates period control from Setup Options, allowing Financial Controllers to manage period changes without broad configuration access. This improves governance, reduces risk, and streamlines period-end activities.
We introduced a standardized document format for Cycle Count processes that provides consistent fields for count, variances, and related key metrics. This improves the Stock Take and Cycle Count review and reconciliation processes and supports audit readiness
We added the Revalue when maintaining setup option (Setup Options > Preferences > Distribution > Purchase Orders that centrally controls the revaluation of purchase orders using foreign currencies.
We enhanced the QOT Quotation confirmation business object to perform a cost implosion for non-stocked estimates prior to confirmation. This enables faster, server-side confirmation of quotations and improves scalability for high-volume quoting environments.
We enabled Override GL accounts in the PO Purchase Order Receipts and WIP Labor Posting business objects for non-stocked purchase order lines linked to subcontract job operations.
This aligns the behavior of the business objects with the UI and ensures balanced and consistent financial postings.
We enhanced the Payment Gateway functionality to improve the visibility of payment reservations against Sales Orders. This provides clearer insights into payment coverage and helps sales, finance, and customer service teams more easily assess order readiness and manage filfullment.
We enhanced the Payment Gateway integration to automatically update PayThem account details when customer information is changed in the Customers program. This ensures account information remains consistent across systems, reducing failed payments and minimizing manual maintenance.
Batch settlement of payments is now supported in the new Digital Payment Batch Settlements program. This improves operational efficiency by reducing processing time for finance teams and simplifying reconciliation against bank statements.
The Syspro Supply Chain Portal now supports digital payments and credit card reservations through the Payment Gateway. This enables customers to make online payments or reserve funds during the process, supporting self-service transactions while reducing credit risk for made-to-order or delayed fulfilment scenarios.
AR Withholding Tax At Point of Capture can now be applied at the point of capture during sales order and invoice processing. This ensures withholding tax is calculated and recorded automatically as transactions are created, improving tax compliance and reducing manual adjustments.
We enhanced the Payment Gateway integration to capture and transmit Level 2 and 3 data, so invoice, tax, and line-item details flow through the gateway and back for streamlined reconciliation and rebust, auditable histories.
We added ISO Currency Cross Reference to the Avalara Tax Connector, letting you map any Syspro currency code to their international ISO formats and apply this mapping in the Tax Connector's conversion routine, so Avalara can now be used for tax calculations in any currency (euros, pounds, yen, and pesos) without technical workarounds. This capability ensures that currency values are interpreted consistently across Syspro and external tax systems.
We deprecated all Vertex Tax Connector functionality and consolidated on a unified Avalara Tax Connector for North America. This simplifies tax management and focuses enhancements on Avalara capabilities (e.g. CertCapture and standardized interfaces), reducing integration complexity and strengthening compliance, support, and roadmap clarity.
We upgraded the Avalara Tax Connector to the latest REST API, replacing our legacy SOUP integration to ensure continuity. This modernized endpoint aligns with Avalara's versioning/deprecation roadmap and keeps Syspro Tax Connectors customers seamlessly connected going forward.
We refined the Avalara View exemption certificate hyperlink in the Customer Query program to always surface the most recent, relevant certificate drawing from CertCapture, rather than the first uploaded version. This enhancement streamlines experience and accelerates reliable, compliance checks, reduces manual hunts, and lowers audit risk within our Tax Connectors framework.
We introduced AP 1099 Label Format for SRS program for Web UI, as Web UI supports SRS label printing only and the legacy AP 1099 Label Format program can’t be used there. AP 1099 Label Format for SRS is purpose-built for SRS (i.e., both Crystal or Wine), removing dependencies on original print coordinates and aligning with SRS configuration for a streamlined web experience. We also updated AP Supplier Maintenance Web UI so you can launch AP 1099 Label Format for SRS) directly from the Supplier program.
Pick quantities can now have two decimals in Sales Order Picking, allowing teams to record more precise quantities for weight, length, or volume directly within the Picking and Pick Maintenance processes. This change was done in the SO Release Sales Orders to Picking and SO Pick Status Change business objects.
The WIP Subcontract Operations Management feature helps manufacturers manage materials used by subcontractors - ensuring traceability, accountability and quality control throughout outsourced operations. A new program has been developed (WIP Subcontract Operation Management) to facilitate subcontract operation management, including the ability to return material that was dispatched to the supplier (but not used) back into stock, receive the subcontract stock items back from the supplier, create QM inspection tests, and set the management to complete so that labor can be posted to the operation.
We enhanced WIP Query by adding a Purchase order column to the Material Transaction pane and enabling smart hyperlink navigation directly to Purchase Order. Allowing you to select the purchase order to cross-reference material transactions with the originating purchase orders. The new column is hidden by default, supporting a clean, personalized listview experience.
We added Reconcile All and Unreconcile All actions to the Open Bank Transaction listview in Cash Book Deposits and Withdrawals, enabling finance users to reconcile (or reverse reconciliation) across the filtered, visible transaction set in one step. These bulk actions apply existing validation rules, operator activity security, eSignatures, and foreign-currency warning messages to keep processing controlled and auditable. We also extended the CSH Deposits and Withdrawals business object with Reconcile All (-A) using the same routines, while deliberately excluding mass unreconciled for governance.
Supply Chain and Connected World
The competitive landscape has changed and each manufacturer increasingly faces a requirement to find new and alternative routes to market, as well as being able to better service their current market.
Syspro's product roadmap provides capabilities to improve processes to support optimization of the sales and distribution channel as well as aftermarket support for the sale.
2026-R2
The Freight Bracket Pricing functionality enables businesses to recover freight costs directly within their sales pricing model. By automatically applying freight markups based on an order's weight or volume, the system ensures pricing reflects actual shipping requirements. Flexible configuration by customer, contract, and stock code supports tailored pricing strategies, while keeping freight recovery seamlessly embedded within the standard sales order process.
We added support for holding more than one Ship From address against a supplier, and for linking each address to the warehouse that receive it. When you pick from the receiving warehouse on a purchase order, Syspro defaults the matching Ship From address onto the header and carries it down to the lines, and you can override it on any line that ships from somewhere else.
This lets buyers source from the closest facility, so freight costs come down, and deliveries arrive sooner.
2026-R1
We extended the Syspro Supply Chain Portal with customer-facing Sales Order Management capability, enabling customers to create and manage orders within status-governed limits. This launches a responsive 24x7 self-service channel that reduces manual processing, increased transparency, and accelerates order-to-cash, leveraging Syspro's robust sales order controls.
We introduce a new feature called Quality Documentation, a governed, template-driven library embedded with the Quality Management module that produces Quality Documentation, such as Certificate of Conformance (CoC)), Quality Assurance Plans, Inspection and Test Reports, and Supplier Quality Agreements, surfacing alongside inspections and job records for auditable traceability. This centralized, version-controlled content streamlines compliance and accelerates cross-functional collaboration.
We introduce a TPM Deduction Review Post business object that enables Sales and Finance managers to review, validate, dispute, or approve trade promotions.
This improves the accuracy of promotion processing and reduces the risk of costly write-offs.
We enhanced Document Services: Purchase Order to Sales Order to automatically attach the original purchase order to the sales order header when a purchase order is analyzed to create a sales order.
This provides centralized access to the source document and improves traceability for Customer Service, Sales, Finance, and Supply Chain teams.
We added the country of origin (CCO) as a selection criterion in the following programs:
This intuitive filter lets sales leaders segment reviews and bulk price/cost updates by origin, which accelerates pricing and sourcing decisions and surfaces land-cost and regulatory impacts.
We added an eSignature requirement to the SO Invoice Calculation from Sales Order business object. This ensures that invoice creation can be controlled through authenticated approvals, improving governance and providing a clear audit trail of authorized transactions.
We have aligned the SO Sales Order Import business object with standard functionality in the core product, enabling it to automatically apply TPM Price Break Discounts during order capture, consistent with Sales Order Entry. This seamless, automated enhancement ensures consistent pricing across channels, eliminates errors, and simplifies third-party integrations, delivering accurate, audit-ready promotions for Sales and Supply Chain leadership.
The Forecasting module's calculation logic has been enhanced. We aligned Weekly Calendar forecasting with monthly logic, so credit notes are correctly netted in weekly demand history and forecast calculations, eliminating overstated demand. This delivers consistent period handling and more reliable forecasts, reducing manual corrections and enabling confident, efficient planning across weekly buckets.
We enhanced the PO Requisition Entry business object to support linking requisition lines to hierarchical jobs.
This aligns the business object behavior with the UI capabilities in the program PO Purchase Order Import and thePO Purchase Order Import business object and improves job costing accuracy.
We added governed hierarchy and identifier fields to the ArCustomer table to create a centralized backbone for analytics and integration. Sales, finance, and partner teams can now work from a consistent view of who the customer is and who they roll up to, enabling confident pricing, credit, investment, and commissions.
We added an Exclude changes with X days filter to Purchase Order Review, mirroring Job Review, to suppress minor date tweaks. We streamlined reviews, focused buyers on impactful adjustments, and deliver consistent, noise-free planning across jobs and purchase orders, improving productivity, decision quality, and operational confidence.
We extended the MRP Fixed Time Period from a maximum of 99 days to 99999 days, increasing the field from 2 to 5 characters. This enables manufacturers with longer planning periods and lead times to plan accurately over extended horizons. The fixed time period is captured against stock codes (for batching rules that use a fixed time period), against stock-code warehouses (when using a warehouse order policy), and for transfer-supplied items, and is applied in the requirements calculation of the Requirements Planning module.
Minor changes were made to the following programs and business object:
-
Inventory Query program
-
Stock Code Maintenance program
-
Inventory Query business object
We enhanced the Trade Promotions module by adding a Unit of Measure threshold type in Promotion Code, which specifies the quantities ordered. Allowing you to qualify promotions by Stocking, Alternate, or Other UOM, and optionally enforce whole-unit multiples (e.g., full boxes or pallets), even when lines are captured in the stocking UOM. This delivers precise, flexible pack-based discounts, reduces mis-qualification, and speeds accurate pricing at order entry.
Information and Intelligence
Along with the improved controls, a business needs information to function. Digital Transformation is bringing more and more information to the business, but without the tools to manage all of the extra information it adds no value.
Syspro adds the key tools to manage and analyze all of the extra information. Augmented Services translates all of the knowledge into an improved customer experience.
2026-R2
We enhanced the Inventory Movements (WH Xfers OUT/IMM) business object to automatically copy Custom Form Fields (CFF) data for serialized items during warehouse transfers, so attributes move with the serial, with no extra API calls or scripts.
This delivers consistent, auditable traceability and simpler integration, preserving complete records across locations for faster, reliable reporting.
ATP Calculate Across Multiple Warehouses allows operators to designate one or more WIP Source Warehouses as part of an ATP query. This functionality folds job output from the selected warehouses into the supply side of the calculation while automatically excluding Supply Chain Transfers from the same warehouses to prevent double-counting.
2026-R1
Syspro Torque is Syspro’s industrial-grade AI execution platform, purpose-built for manufacturers. It transforms ERP data, workflows and business rules into intelligent actions, helping teams automate routine operational work, resolve exceptions faster and make better decisions with confidence. Unlike traditional AI tools that simply provide insights, Syspro Torque enables AI agents to monitor, analyze, recommend and execute operational processes across the business, from procurement and inventory management to customer service, planning and finance. Built on trusted ERP data and governed by human oversight, it keeps people firmly in control.
The Syspro Torque widget brings AI directly into the Syspro Web UI (Avanti), giving users seamless access to intelligent assistants, agents, and insights within the context of their daily tasks, making AI a natural extension of the Syspro experience.
We have extended the Customer Complaints Entry program to support custom form fields on the header pane (Activity Details), so teams can capture organization-specific metadata at the Complaint Detail header. This configuration enhancement enhances data quality, reporting, and workflow alignment, tailors the complaints process without code, and improves adoption.
Syspro Point of Sale now displays Customer Custom Fields defined in Syspro's Custom Forms, making customer-specific data visible directly in POS. This uses the standard Custom Forms Framework (design entry, and query) to expose additional customer attributes.
Digital Business Platform
A combination of technologies that enables an organization to deliver digital business capabilities, Syspro's Digital Business Platform supports any customer organization that needs to build their own platform (or multi-purpose integration hub) to interact with other platforms or integrate all of their disparate systems into a single platform that is integrated directly into Syspro.
2026-R1
We modernized Point of Sale Category Items with larger, clearer product tiles and a streamlined two-column grid, delivering a visual, touch-friendly experience optimized for tables and modules. This intuitive layout accelerates accurate item selection and elevates image-driven workflows across our browser-based POS, improving speed, confidence, and adoption at checkout.
We extended the Point of Sale Avanti offline screen to include a Cost column that mirrors the Avanti Sales Order Entry view, delivering a cohesive, consistent interface and informed decision-making whether you're online or offline. This enhancement surfaces costs at the point of capture, reducing lookups and training while improving pricing accuracy and transaction confidence in connectivity-constrained environments across our browser-based Point of Sale.
