What’s new in AWRA OpsHub

Foreign-currency documents reach your books in your base currency, webhook subscriptions deliver, and the till, the bills desk and the mobile app gained the controls the web already had.

• • Foreign currency: record the exchange rate on an invoice or supplier bill and it posts in your base currency at that rate, with its credit notes, payments, withholding, online collections and POS sales. A payment that settles at a different rate books a realised exchange gain or loss, and a document with no rate waits rather than posting at a guess. How the ledger converts.
• • Till discounts: a manual discount above the item’s own is capped by a workspace maximum in Settings › Sales (it starts at 0%). Going over it takes the override permission and a reason, or a supervisor’s approval PIN, and every discount is recorded with who approved it and why. Offline over-limit sales are kept and flagged for review.
• • Outbound webhooks: eight events — transfers completed, invoices created and paid, purchase orders, new customers and vendors, low stock and workflow actions — signed, retried with a doubling wait, and kept as a dead letter if they never land. Only https, and never a private address. Reference.
• • Mobile security: SSO-only sign-in, password expiry, the IP allowlist, device approval, the idle timeout and the absolute session lifetime now apply in the app as in the browser. Security.
• • Controls: whoever entered or last edited a supplier bill cannot approve it (a one-person team is not locked out); approving a requisition in the app needs the approve-RFQ permission, as on the web; the app’s approvals hub opens with dashboard access and shows only what you may act on.
• • Stock: reorder points count till sales and never drop to zero for blank lead times, with an Automatic / Manual switch per item; FEFO picking skips expired and recalled batches, and refuses one picked by hand.
• • To do after this release: record rates on open foreign-currency invoices and bills; set your maximum till discount and have supervisors set their approval PIN (account security page, or Profile in the app); where device approval is required, update older app builds.

Stock is valued at a true moving average, every item carries a unit of measure, and closed till drawers wait for sign-off.

• • Costing: every receipt blends its cost into the item’s moving average before the stock lands, and each till sale line keeps the cost at the moment of sale.
• • Units & levels: a unit of measure per item, with up to three decimals for weights, volumes, lengths and hours, and a minimum and maximum per warehouse for Reorder and transfer balancing.
• • Till & assets: an M-Pesa code or card authorisation on each POS payment, drawer sign-off by someone other than the closer, net book value on the assets dashboard, and daily return and warranty reminders.

Services are a new item type: work you sell or buy — installation, repairs, consulting, delivery — with its own price and accounts, and no stock.

• • Selling: quotes, sales orders, invoices, recurring invoices and the POS till take a service with no stock check. An invoice of services alone books its revenue when issued, and eTIMS files it under the services classification code.
• • Buying: requests, RFQs and purchase orders take services, received by confirming delivery on the order, which books what you owe the supplier at the order price. Withholding tax on a bill is now worked out on its service lines, not its goods.
• • Everywhere else: a goods and services split in sales by item, an Item Type column in import, export and the report builder, QuickBooks Service items, the Android app, and item_type on the API, where a service’s stock fields are null.

The order-to-cash and procure-to-pay chains are complete: sales orders, payables, the bank, and the stock that sits between them.

• • Sales: quotes with approval, sales orders, proformas and price lists, recurring invoices, and a customer portal where customers see their invoices, statement and quotes and pay by M-Pesa or card.
• • Payables: supplier bills matched to their order, returns with debit notes, and two-person payment runs, plus withholding tax with a monthly register and certificate PDF.
• • Bank & cash: M-Pesa and emailed statement feeds, bank reconciliation that locks what it cleared, and petty cash floats and staff advances.
• • Inventory: bills of materials and assembly orders, stock reservations and backorders, serial numbers on every movement, FEFO or FIFO per item, and scheduled count plans.
• • Helpdesk & assets: canned replies, auto-assignment and escalation rules, and asset maintenance schedules with work orders that record downtime.

The complete Projects & Tasks module is live — a delivery-management pillar wired into the operations, people and money you already run in AWRA.

• • Projects & tasks: projects with a status lifecycle, tasks and subtasks assigned to real employees, a Kanban board, “my tasks”, bulk actions, comments with @mentions, attachments, and back-links to purchase orders, invoices, customers, assets, stock transfers and vendors.
• • Planning & Gantt: milestones, finish-to-start dependencies with cycle protection, a Gantt timeline with a today line and baseline variance, and an automatic critical-path highlight.
• • Agile delivery: a backlog and sprint planning board, per-sprint Kanban, story points, velocity, and a burndown chart — with unfinished work carried back to the backlog on close.
• • Time, budget & flexibility: log effort (billable or not) against budgets with a burn bar, plus labels, checklists, watchers, saved views, recurring tasks, project templates and configurable per-project statuses.
• • Delivery Pulse: an AI narrative on throughput, at-risk work and workload, alongside a dedicated delivery-analytics view.
