Release Notes 12/11/2026

New Functionality 
  • The online booking page is now a step by step booking wizard that works on phones, tablets and computers. Customers choose their booking types, pick a day, and enter their details on short, focused screens.
    • Customers can now choose a preferred time as well as a day when they request a booking online, and the time shows on the Booking Request.
    • The online booking page now checks the customer's mobile number against your country's number format before the request is sent.
    • Appointment Types are now called Booking Types, and each Booking Type has an Auto Approve Online Bookings switch, so online requests for it are approved automatically.
  • Loan car bookings that have not started can now be deleted from the Loan Car Schedule.
  • Adding a product with an item code that belongs to an inactive product now warns you and offers to reactivate the existing product (customer request).
  • Repco and PROLink settings now offer the same Price Update Options as Burson, so you choose how retail prices update from supplier pricing.
  • Open Workshop Software in mutliple tabs. A link to a page inside Workshop Software, for example in an email, now opens that page. If you need to sign in first, you are taken to the page once signed in.
  • MYOB settings now include a Discount Account, so invoice discounts post to the account you choose. (AU and NZ)
  • MYOB is now available to workshops in Papua New Guinea.
Invoices & Payments 
  • Reopening a processed invoice now shows the figures it was raised under, matching its printed copy, even after your tax settings change.
  • Invoices and vehicle sales whose lines total below zero, such as a sale with a trade-in, now show and save the correct negative tax.
  • Invoice numbers are now always unique. With Invoice Number Equals Job Number on, an invoice whose job card number is already in use is given the next free number.
  • Voiding a supplier invoice that has a supplier credit applied now returns the credit and keeps the supplier balance correct.
  • Improved bulk biller payments, such as Capricorn and Burson, so every supplier payment is created before the payment is marked paid.
  • When a supplier payment lists the same invoice twice, the message now names the supplier and the invoice.
  • The Print Labour Style invoice again prints a heading above each bundle when Hide Header/Footer On Bundles is on.
  • The Ex GST Totals invoice format again prints its Subtotal and discount excluding GST when prices include tax.
  • Further added resilience to sending payments that began as a deposit to MYOB and QuickBooks Online, with a check so a payment already entered by hand in the accounting package is not recorded twice.
  • Deposits now reach Xero dated the day they were received, and in the bank account of their payment method.
  • Further added resilience to the Xero sync, so customer, supplier and trade-in payments already in Xero, or dated before your Xero lock date, are no longer sent again on every sync.
  • Corrected the freight tax and tax inclusive dollar discounts sent to Xero and MYOB, so those invoices match Workshop Software and are accepted first time.
  • The Event Report now shows the reason Xero or MYOB gave when a record is refused.
  • Improved the Xero settings page so a change to a single tax field saves straight away.
  • Enhanced connecting and disconnecting Xero, so the integration screen always shows the true connection status.
  • Updated the Xero sync for dealerships, so archiving a traded-in or sold vehicle before it syncs no longer stops the sync.
  • Customer deposits now reach MYOB's Prepare Bank Deposit reliably, and voiding a supplier payment now removes it from MYOB as well. (AU and NZ)
  • Further added resilience to the MYOB sync, so payments dated before your MYOB lock date, and deposits deleted before they reached MYOB, are no longer retried on every sync. (AU and NZ)
  • The QuickBooks Online sync now sends everything that is waiting each time it runs.
  • Customers, suppliers and products whose names or item codes include punctuation, such as a colon, apostrophe or hash, now sync to QuickBooks Online.
  • Improved matching customers from QuickBooks Online, so a customer links to its existing record instead of being created twice.
  • QuickBooks Online tax code names now display as written in QuickBooks.
  • Updated the QuickBooks Online integration in line with Intuit's latest requirements, with added resilience across syncing, trade-in bills and the WorkshopPay fee item.
Bookings & Loan Cars 
  • Approving an online booking request now books it under the customer you pick, and approving it as a new customer creates a new customer.
  • Picking an existing customer on a booking request now fills in their email and vehicle details.
  • A booking request with Contact By SMS can now be approved without an email address.
  • The online booking page now offers only days with enough free time for the booking types the customer chose.
  • Further added resilience to automatic approval of online booking requests, so one request that cannot be approved no longer holds up the others.
  • Voiding a booking now removes all its appointments from the Booking Diary, including those for inactive or deleted mechanics.
  • The Booking Diary week and month views now load reliably when a mechanic who has left still holds bookings in a week with a whole-shop day off.
  • Tidied the colour picker on the Public Booking settings.
Products & Parts 
  • A bundle's cost now updates when the cost of a product inside it changes, and takes each product's quantity into account.
  • Changing a product's price now also updates the selling price of the bundles it is in, and the question tells you how many bundles will change. Price adjustments on supplier invoices now ask the same question.
Customers, Vehicles & Suppliers 
  • Tidied the clear (X) button in list filter boxes, so the box keeps its full border while it shows.
  • Improved lists so paging works again straight away after a page fails to load.
