Release Notes 03/04/2026
Updates:
- Improved the Burson EzyParts integration by simplifying how parts orders are placed. Parts can now be searched for and added to a quote directly within Burson and returned to the invoice, without needing to switch to a separate desktop application.
- Implemented an underlying technical improvement to how new trial sign-ups are linked to their account records, improving the accuracy of account data used for support.
- Updated email domain verification so that SPF, DKIM, DMARC and MX records are now generated and provided automatically once a domain is verified, removing the need to wait for these to be issued manually.
- Resolved an issue where the option to request payment via SMS through Workshop PAY was unavailable. A Request Payment toggle is now available in the SMS invoice window, the same as it already is for email.
- Adjusted the position of the WPAY icon within POS integration settings, moving it to the top of the list to make it easier to find.
- Enhanced the underlying technology behind file uploads used for company logos, public booking branding images and advertisements, improving reliability when uploading these images.
- Implemented an underlying technical upgrade to the Communication Center module to improve reliability and performance.
- Corrected an issue where processing a bulk terminal payment across multiple invoices could leave one invoice with a small outstanding balance due to a surcharge rounding discrepancy. All invoices included in a bulk terminal payment will now be closed in full.
- Fixed a rounding issue that could cause a 1 cent difference between invoice totals in Workshop Software and Xero when a WorkshopPay or Stripe surcharge was applied. Invoice totals will now match exactly between the two systems.
- Resolved an issue where selecting a product not shown in the initial search suggestions could cause it to be duplicated on an invoice. Products will now be added correctly without duplication.
Release Notes 27/03/2026
Updates:
- Fixed an issue where adding notes to a Job Card and leaving without saving did not trigger the usual unsaved changes warning. Job Card and Invoice notes are now covered by the same warning as other fields.
- Corrected an issue where the unit price for vehicle sales was not appearing on customer invoices when the "Price Includes Tax" setting was enabled. Unit prices for vehicle sales will now display correctly on customer invoices regardless of this setting.
- Resolved an intermittent issue where some customer payments made through Workshop Pay were not automatically syncing to Xero. These payments will now sync to Xero without requiring a manual sync.
- Adjusted the Xero integration so that rounding amounts on vendor invoices and credits are sent to the rounding account selected in your integration settings, rather than the incorrect account.
- Implemented an underlying technical clean-up of company contact records to improve data consistency across the system.
- Fixed an issue where converting a quote to a booking did not immediately assign a booking number. Booking Acknowledgement and Reminder messages will now send as expected as soon as a quote is converted into a booking.
- Corrected an issue that prevented a loan car booking from being deleted once the associated customer had already been deleted. Loan car bookings can now be removed successfully in this situation.
- Updated Two-Way SMS so the daily sending limit has increased from 500 to 3,000 messages, with no daily limit applied for Two-Way SMS customers using a dedicated number. Also resolved an issue that could cause errors during SMS set-up for new sub-accounts.
Release Notes 19/03/2026
Updates:

- Fixed: Resolved an issue where the WorkshopData menu option remained visible for vehicles with no available data, and improved the messaging shown when no data is found.

- Resolved an issue where invoices could not be voided if they included a product that had since been made inactive. Invoices with inactive products can now be voided without needing to temporarily reactivate the product first.
- Corrected an issue where syncing a customer or supplier with both Address 1 and Address 2 to MYOB combined them into a single address field, which then overwrote the original formatting in Workshop Software on the next sync. Address 1 and 2 will now sync to MYOB correctly without affecting how the address is stored in Workshop Software.
Release Notes 12/03/2026
