Hi there,
This is a big one! We are very excited to announce that we have released the first major piece of our new Time Tracking

You can leverage Time Tracking
in the following ways, via each Sales Order's Tracking
tab:

vs Hours worked
for each jobIn addition, you can configure Time Tracking
in the following ways via the Settings > Time Tracking page:

for your team and automatically clock off team members when the end of a day is reached.You can view a detailed walkthrough of the functionality here.
Later this month we will be releasing our Timesheets
functionality, giving you even greater capabilities around managing your team and the time they work!
As this exciting set of functionality continues to evolve, we encourage you to provide any feedback and thoughts about how we can continue to improve our ability to help your team track the time they work on jobs.

We're excited to announce the rollout of our latest update, Sub-Kits.
You can now add 'kits within kits' to create more complex and detailed Product Kits that contain multiple layers or 'sub-assemblies'.
When creating or editing a Product Kit, simply click the new Add Sub-Kit button, enter a name for the Sub-Kit and then add your products to it.
From within the Product Kit's page, you can also customise where the Sub-Kit's details will display throughout Factory, similar to showing/hiding where a Product Kit's individual line items appear.

From within a Submitted Sales Order you can generate an invoice based on:
By opening a Submitted Order, selecting Options

The Invoice status now also includes Partially invoiced

a popup will display the Invoiced amount and the Remaining amount on the order to be invoiced.
You can find more information about how partial invoicing works here.
