Hey everyone, Here are the updates for the latest version of PRINTOOLS. The big one: GST-free invoicing is now complete, all the way from the quote screen through to Xero and QuickBooks. Building quotes got easier too, with drag and drop between groups and a profit margin on every group.

​
Highlights

GST-free invoicing

Quote mixed GST and GST-free work, and it books correctly in your accounts.

Drag and drop

Move lines and decorations between groups without deleting and re-adding.

Margins per group

See the profit margin on every group card and on the Revenue tile.

​
GST-free invoicing

You can now quote mixed GST and GST-free work, and it books correctly in your accounts.
  • Mark any quote line as GST-free.
  • The setting carries onto duplicates, and from pre-built items onto the quote.
  • Xero receives a GST-free line as genuinely GST-free, instead of taxable with zero tax on it.
  • QuickBooks does the same, and no longer overstates the taxable amount.
  • Paid sales are recorded line by line, and a full refund creates a matching credit note.

​
Building quotes

  • Drag and drop between groups. Drag a line or decoration into another group, instead of deleting it and adding it again. The page scrolls while you drag, so you can reach a group that’s off-screen.
  • Groups can be dragged by their name, and a new group opens the item chooser straight away.
  • Profit margin per group. Each group card and the Revenue tile now show the profit margin. A group running at a loss shows a dash rather than a misleading number.
  • Duplicating a group, line or decoration places the copy directly below the original instead of at the bottom.
  • The quote Reference field keeps what you type, even if you pause, and no longer flashes back to the old value after saving.
  • Swapping a garment on a quote line updates its code, name and price properly.
  • Quote totals are rounded to the cent, so saves are no longer rejected.

​
Pricing and markup

  • Pin a garment to a markup group directly, and the bulk action for it is back.
  • Bulk catalogue actions now work on AS Colour styles.
  • The variant pricing screen warns you when no markup group covers the garment’s category.
  • A sell price you’ve set yourself is shown as such on the quote row.
  • When the shop-wide default markup sets a price, the quote says so.
  • Markup carries correctly through pre-built items, including decoration setup costs, and stays put when the quantity band changes or the panel is edited.

​
Mock-ups and proofs

  • Mock versions are collapsed into one chain, and the screen says which version you’re looking at.
  • A quote line carrying a Quick Mock can now be moved between groups.
  • The mock builder tells you what happened during an export, rather than only offering to print.

​
Client portal

  • Decoration charges are folded per decoration rather than per group, so customer documents itemise correctly.
  • A size added from the portal now carries its real cost.
  • The portal’s proof stage now splits items correctly.

​
Smaller fixes

  • Size quantities each appear in their own column on the PDF.
  • Pop-up messages across quotes, jobs, the catalogue, invoices and the portal now look and behave the same way.
  • Several buttons and controls now say what they actually do.

​
Behind the scenes

No visible change here, but plenty of work keeping PRINTOOLS reliable: background tasks now keep running through routine security maintenance, and crash reports stay readable for older versions.
Thanks for all the feedback that shaped this release. Keep it coming. With love from Kenny @ PRINTOOLS
