v0.12.16
September 17, 2026

v0.12.15
September 16, 2026
Improvements

v0.12.12
September 16, 2026

An other tax can be a fixed amount or a percent of the selling price.
Product pages show a clearer tax breakdown. Totals say Subtotal (excl. Taxes) when more than VAT applies.
v0.12.11
September 15, 2026
Improvements
80mm sale receipts show the Price with VAT included (easier to match the shelf price).
Receipt totals say VAT instead of Tax.
You can attach other taxes on a product (for example Excise Duty). They print under the totals. Choose In price when the amount is already inside the selling price, or Extra to add it on top.
Fixes
Opening New Recurring Template works for branch managers.
Fixed a broken link in the Customers app.
v0.12.9
September 14, 2026
Improvements

Bug fixes.
v0.12.7
September 12, 2026
Improvements
After Complete Sale, the receipt has a green New Sale button next to Back to Sale, so you do not have to open the sale again to start the next one.
v0.12.6
September 12, 2026
New
Quote and invoice line details: Under the product name you can type specs or period text (for example “Core i5, 8GB RAM” or “Internet Subscription for September 2026”, under product name Internet Service). Converting a quote to an invoice, and recurring invoices, keep those details. They print under the name on the PDF.
Fixes
80mm receipts print cleaner greys on thermal printers.
Performance improvements.
v0.12.0
September 11, 2026
Improvements
New Sale opens faster with larger catalogs: products load once and the grid is built in the browser (the list view appears when you switch to it).
Print receipt no longer loads the full app chrome first, so the print button is ready sooner after Complete Sale.
v0.11.0
September 10, 2026
New
Resume a requisition draft: Save draft, then Edit from the list or the requisition page. Change products or quantities and submit when ready.
Dispatch note on the printed dispatch PDF. Warehouse staff can add it when issuing or dispatching, or save the note without moving stock (for example “yesterday and today combined”). Status on the PDF is large and bold.
Login history and active sessions now visible to business owners and their IT/Security staff.
Improvements
Stock, Products, and Stock Movements lists paginate on the server. Filters apply before the page loads, so large catalogs no longer stall the browser.
Stock Movements search, type, branch, and date-range filters work on the full history. Summary cards show real counts. Transit loss and manufacturing movements have their own badges.
Sales History summary cards (counts and completed revenue) match the filters you applied. Search by sale number. Sorting a column no longer clears the other filters.
Fixes
Receiving a pack from the godown now shows the pack on the store Stock list (quantity is derived from bottles/base units, same as the till). Duplicate stock batches for one product are summed so a leftover 0 row does not look like the transfer never arrived.
Resume Sale with more than one line no longer shows an empty cart.
Sales History Previous / Next work.
The business owner’s till uses their assigned branch.
v0.10.5
September 9, 2026
New
Cashier discount limit (Business Settings): cap the sale-level discount cashiers can give. Managers and owners are not limited.
Set your own till PIN from your Profile. PINs are now stored hashed.
Close remaining on a stock requisition after a short issue or dispatch, so it stops sitting in Partial. A requisition where everything was lost in transit now shows Closed — transit loss instead of Received.
Improvements
Discounts now reduce VAT: the discount is spread across the items and tax is charged on the discounted amount. Receipts show *Items → Discount → Subtotal (excl. tax) → Tax → Total*.
Item prices always come from the product catalog; custom line prices need a permission.
M-Pesa STK sales hold stock until the customer pays instead of deducting it up front. Abandoned pushes release their stock after 30 minutes.
The employee list hides the business owner by default (Show owner to reveal).
Till pop-ups are now toasts instead of browser alerts.
Fixes
Requisitions: each partial dispatch/receive now alerts the other branch (email on dispatch); before, only the first leg did.
Requisitions: changing Require receipt no longer affects requisitions already in flight.
Requisitions: dispatch respects stock already reserved for pickup or an in-flight M-Pesa sale, and counts every stock batch.
Manual M-Pesa on New Sale requires the transaction ID before the sale completes.
Completing a saved draft from the dashboard now deducts stock.
v0.10.0
September 8, 2026
New
Requisitions with receipt (optional): warehouse can dispatch stock that stays in transit until the store receives it. Record transit loss with a reason when something goes missing on the road.
Notifications bell in the top bar: requisitions, low stock, large shift variance, and failed payments. Email for action-needed alerts; same Mulberry look as booking emails.
Cashier PIN switch on shared tills so another cashier can take over without a full logout.
Improvements
Stores can request stock from any other branch (not only the warehouse). Product search when creating a requisition.
New Sale cart stays in the browser until you Save as Draft or Complete Sale — walking away no longer leaves a History draft.
Sales Dashboard Today's Sales ignores cancelled and draft sales.
Auto-open cash shift waits for the first completed sale. Shift PDF product columns stay aligned. Online (N) means pending sync jobs on this device, not cart quantity.
Fixes
Branch managers can finish M-Pesa / Complete Sale using their assigned branch (no owner-only branch dropdown).
Receiving stock with a transit loss no longer fails silently when quantities were already in transit.
v0.9.66
September 7, 2026
New
Cash tender / change on New Sale: enter the note the customer handed you; the till shows change. Receipts print Tendered and Change.
Waiter cash payments keep the same tender and change.
Improvements
Complete Sale is faster when the till is online (no wait on background cart sync).
Adding the same product twice increases quantity instead of a second line (unless you switch Retail / Wholesale).
Opening New Sale no longer leaves an empty draft in Sales History if you walk away.
Fixes
Completing a sale could list the same products twice and double the total when cart sync overlapped Complete Sale. That race is closed.
Cash tender below the sale total can no longer complete the sale.
If an offline sale fails to sync, the till now shows a warning instead of failing silently.
v0.9.65
September 4, 2026
New
Cash shifts: open a shift with your drawer float before selling (unless your business turns on auto-open). Close with counted cash; large variances need a note. Shift summary and filters on sales history/reports.
Pickup holds: paid sales waiting for collection reserve stock so others cannot sell the same units. Inventory shows reserved vs available and a Pickup holds list.
Help for every role: Help pages in kitchen, waiter, customer, and supplier portals, plus a full in-app user guide.
System Owner portal: modern Mulberry sidebar layout; platform revenue and activation insights; Grafana charts embedded on Health (CPU, memory, disk, load).
Improvements
Collect-later sales no longer leave stock “free” for another till sale while waiting for pickup.
System owners get a live host snapshot on the dashboard with a link to full Grafana trends.
Fixes
Duplicate open cash shifts for the same cashier and branch are collapsed; only one open shift is allowed going forward.
v0.9.60
September 2, 2026
New
Collect later: tick Customer will collect later on New Sale when the customer pays now but picks up goods later. Stock is not reduced until you Mark as Collected on the sale.
Dual receipts: turn on Print duplicate receipts in Business Settings for two 80mm copies (customer + merchant). Collect-later sales always print two copies, even if that setting is off.
The till warns you with a short message when you add a product that is out of stock at your branch (you can still complete the sale).
Improvements
Sale receipts and PDFs show Paid — items not collected for collect-later sales.
Sales History can filter and badge sales waiting for collection.
Accounting General Ledger PDF export lays out columns clearly (no overlapping text).
Fixes
Printing an 80mm receipt no longer includes the sales menu buttons at the top.
A slow disk or offline iCloud folder no longer shows a misleading “user profile” error when opening Business.

September 1, 2026
New

Improvements
When Selling price includes tax is on, retail and wholesale prices round to the nearest shilling.
Customer names on sales, invoices, quotes, and payments open the customer profile.
Creating a fiscal month uses the 1st through the last day of that month.
Fixes
Quick Sale on the customer list did nothing.
Tax-inclusive products could keep cents (for example 99.40).
A closed accounting month could show a scary error in the till log even though the sale still completed.
v0.9.50
September 1, 2026
New
Accounting books: Profit and Loss, trial balance, balance sheet, ledger, VAT, and unpaid customer/supplier ageing, by branch if you want.
Close a month so nobody posts into it. Reopen only to fix a mistake. That month’s profit still shows on P&L.
Reconcile bank or M-Pesa until the difference is zero.
Recurring expenses for rent, licences, and utilities (monthly, yearly, or every N days). Optional auto-pay.
Help articles for Accounting and Customers. Use Help or Guide on those pages.

v0.9.45
September 1, 2026
New
Job titles for staff (for example Receptionist or Assistant Manager) without changing how login access works.
Customer and supplier portal invites: you send the link; they set their password.
Tills and waiter pads can keep the menu after a reload if the device was online once. Waiters can take cash or manual M-Pesa while offline.
Improvements

Fixes
Inventory reports opening error on the live site.
Phone numbers with dashes not matching a customer.
v0.9.40

A new warehouse shows existing products on Adjust Stock (starting at zero).
v0.9.31
August 19, 2026
Improvements
New Sale now appears in Sales History as soon as you add items (as a draft). Click Complete Sale to finish it — this works while you are online, not only when the till is offline.
Completing a saved draft updates that sale instead of creating a second copy.
Fixes
Sales that looked like they had been taken but never showed in history now record correctly.
v0.9.30
August 17, 2026
New
Kitchen and waiter apps: clearer mobile navigation and kitchen tickets.
Paybill: use your business code (for example `MB00015`) as the account number.
Improvements

The live site continues at [mulberry.co.ke](https://mulberry.co.ke), hosted in Kenya.
v0.9.22
August 13, 2026
New
eTIMS Setup (KRA tax invoices): enter your KRA PIN and initialize each branch. Mulberry talks to KRA for you — you do not type an OSCU server address or secret key.

Improvements
Sale receipts can show the linked eTIMS fiscal receipt when it has been confirmed.
v0.9.21
August 13, 2026
New

v0.9.13
August 5, 2026
New

Log customer requests about their data (copies, corrections, deletion) with automatic 30-day due dates. Download a complete copy of a customer's data, or erase their personal details in one confirmed step while keeping your sales and tax records intact.
