Usability and Documents
Manual date entry:
When entering dates manually, the system now respects the configured date format on the account so the date you type is both stored and displayed in the correct date format.
Campaign and quotation addresses:
If no campaign address is set, the system falls back to the quotation address, reducing the risk of missing or incomplete addresses on documents.
Currency symbols:
The system now displays the correct currency symbol in all affected places, improving clarity in multi currency environments.
Description length on articles:
The article description field has been extended to allow longer descriptions, which is useful when more detailed product information is needed.
Address popup defaults:
The address popup now initiates with company and address by default, speeding up address entry.
Article prices and Excel import:
Manually added article prices are correctly handled when importing Excel price updates, so manual work is not overwritten unintentionally.
Locked orders and status messages:
Improved messaging so that status change warnings on locked orders better reflect what has actually happened.
Fonts in Telerik templates:
Templates containing the Tisa Sans Pro font are now rendered correctly.
Purchasing and Transport
Purchase row export:
The purchase row table on the order now has Excel and PDF export. The export uses the same columns as the table so data can be handed over to warehouse, suppliers, or internal stakeholders.
Transport price list:
Support has been added for transport price lists, enabling more structured transport pricing.

New Release: 2025-10-12
This release delivers improvements in operations, article needs, color and varnish management, and product overview.
Operations:
Output format and multiple support for each operation, ensuring correct process flow between steps.
Calculations & Article Needs:
Automatic consumption calculation for sheets, square meters, and linear meters; flexible overrides for glue, varnish, and other units.
Inks and Varnishes:
All types of inks are now real articles with full stock and SFDC tracking; legacy machine-based consumption is still supported.
Product Overview:
Article needs visible at the top level in orders, quotations, and grouped products, including inherited needs from underlying products.
New and Improved
Operations
It is now possible to calculate using a divided format.
Example:
Printing is done on 900 x 640 mm sheets, 1000 sheets in total, with 2 figures per sheet to be die-cut. The die-cutting takes place on a divided sheet.
Operations can now define both an output format and a multiple to describe how many output units are created from each input unit.
Example:
Cutting a 900×640 mm sheet into two 450×640 mm sheets automatically sets multiple = 2. Odd dimensions that create scrap (for example 400×640 with 60 mm waste) can also be configured. In these cases, the new format (400 x 600) applies, and the scrap pieces are ignored.
Multiples are calculated automatically but can also be overridden.
The output format of one operation becomes the input format of the next, ensuring continuity in process planning. Setting an output format in one operation does not affect that operation itself but impacts the next one.
Setting an output format does not automatically create a cutting operation.
Calculations & Article Needs
Consumption is now dynamically calculated based on operation format and multiples:
Sheets:
Quantity = number of consumed sheets.
Square meters:
Width × height × quantity.
Linear meters:
Height × quantity.
Material
is now always added in the Article Needs tab, not directly in the operation as before.
Example:
Poster 400 x 600 to be laminated. The lamination operation is added to the calculation as before. The material is added in the Article Needs tab. First select the intended operation in the operation column, then add the material in the article column.
The system now calculates consumption, displayed in the Input and Production columns. Clicking the fields opens the detail view.
In the example above, input consumption is calculated as sheet area 460 x 640 x 15 sheets = 4.42 m².
All values can be overridden if you wish to use your own calculation. Calculation types are selectable under “Article Calculation Type.”
Other units (e.g., kg, liters) can be defined manually using flexible formulas such as “per piece area” or “per length.”
Overrides allow you to specify exact consumption, e.g., 0.02 liters of glue per m² × total area = total glue usage.
Operations later in the flow (e.g., lamination after cutting) automatically use the updated format and multiple.
Inks and Varnishes
The old Color table has been removed. Colors and varnishes are now defined as articles of type Color or Varnish.
⚠️
Important: All colors and varnishes are now treated as real article needs with inventory management and SFDC reporting.
Dialogs for color specification on products and print operations now reference articles, not the Color table.
This enables stock control for color articles.
It is possible to report color and varnish consumption to track actual use.
Through Omikai BI, you can track detailed color and varnish consumption.
⚠️
Important: For those who do not want to manage color inventory or measure usage, it is still possible to continue using the “old” method where color data is entered in the color column of the product description, and color cost is shown in the material cost field of the print operation.
Shop Floor Data Collection (SFDC) can track detailed color and varnish consumption.
Ink and varnish articles
To use the new functionality, colors and varnishes must be defined as articles. The color list previously under Settings is now moved to the article list. They have article numbers starting with Ink_, and the supplier is Ink Supplier.
The article number can be changed, must have a name, and a type (usually Color or Varnish). Colors of type Varnish do not generate plate usage in offset printing.
The supplier cannot currently be changed, but that will be added later.
A sales and stock unit must exist, usually kilograms.
Values must exist in the width and height fields, which are prerequisites for calculations, even if ignored in practice. Other fields are informational and optional.
In the field Number of Input Colors, specify how many colors are included. For varnish and PMS colors this should be 1, but you can have a color group (e.g., CMYK) where the number of input colors is 4. The “Number per Unit” field is left blank.
Information in stock, description, and price fields works as for other articles.
Calculation
To create a calculation or order where you want to manage colors as articles, you must actively select which color articles to use.
In the product description’s color column, a gear icon appears when you click the field.
Click the gear icon to open the color dialog.
Click “Add” and insert as many rows as needed. The default coverage percentage appears in the right column and can be overwritten.
In the example above, the front side has a CMYK combination with 25% coverage (total 100%), and the back side a PMS with 15% coverage.
This now shows in the product as 4+1.
In the Article Needs tab, the calculated ink consumption is now shown divided between input and production. The calculated colors and usage are also visible on planning cards to simplify reporting.
Colors and varnishes also appear as needs under Purchasing in the left column and can be bought and stocked as other articles.
Link article needs directly to operation templates.
Product Overview
All article needs are visible at the top level of orders, quotations, and grouped products, including inherited needs from sub-products. Article needs are sorted per product and can be adjusted from the top level.
You can add materials directly to an operation template, useful when only one material is relevant for that operation.
Example:
Matt lamination with predefined material.
Create an operation, select operation type, give it a name, and link it to a production site. The system assigns a template number which can be changed. It is recommended to fill the “Created by” field so you know who made the template.
Then open the template by clicking the + icon to the left. Two tabs appear: Operation and Article Needs.
Make desired adjustments in the Operation tab, then go to Article Needs and add the relevant material. Consumption is calculated when the operation template is used.

Looking ahead: A Major Leap in Product Workflow & CAD Integration
We are working on groundbreaking enhancements to streamline repetitive orders, integrate directly with CAD tools, and empower users with dynamic resources, customisable attributes and visualised production flows.
Resource – The product-oriented workflow will enable handling of repeat orders for standardized products. We will transform articles into resources, offering a more generic and flexible structure. Resources can be categorised using resource classes that reflect your own terminology and business logic. A resource can represent anything from raw material, production tools, semi-finished goods, to finished goods with or without warehouse management. Resources can be either produced or purchased.
Attributes – Users can define their own custom attributes on a resource or resource class using preferred aliases. This allows customization of resource data per account, making it scalable and business-specific.
Sales Orders – To complete the product-oriented workflow, we will introduce the concept of Sales Orders. A streamlined way to register orders for pre-calculated products, significantly speeding up the process of handling standardised sales.
CAD/Layout integration – The CAD integrations will allow seamless connections with common CAD and layout systems in the market. It will enable you to automatically create an optimal layout based on the standardized shape of a product.
Production flow – We are also working on a new type of calculation engine to complement our existing one. The new engine will be a visualized flowchart of all included work steps required to produce a product and how they are connected into a production workflow. We call it “Production Flow”.
This represents a significant breakthrough and milestone in OMIKAI’s journey and will provide great new value for all industry segments, including commercial print, packaging, and label.
More information will follow.
2025-06-29
We have added new fields on Profile.
The new fields are
Payment terms
Terms of delivery
Report settings
The new fields are taken in consideration when a new quotation or order is created. The priority of where the data for these fields are taken from follow this priority
1. Company card
Profile on the quote/order
Account
We have added new columns in the planning card list. The new columns are:
Sales manager
Project manager
Calculator
We have added KeyFigures in the Report API. It is now possible to show KeyFigures like Co2, Product weight etc in custom reports. The effected endpoints in the Report API are:
Quotation
Order confirmation
Invoice
We have added a new field for Grain Direction in the article list and article card. This will show long grain or short grain depending on the fiber on the specific article.
Time report and article report are added as new tabs on the order card. This makes it possible to see all reports directly on the order card without being forced to open each planning card.
User and date is added as new columns on article reports.
An issue where the cost was not updated when the time was changed on an existing time report is now fixed.
We have added all operations on top level in the Endpoints for Quotation, Order confirmation and Invoice in the Report API. This makes it possible to display all operations in a custom report if needed and not only the ones from the top product.
It is now possible to report negative consumption in the wizard for shop floor data collection. This is very useful if an operator wants to return material to stock that has already been withdrawal.
We have added a new field for SKU in the product template register.
A big adjustment has been done for reporting of time and articles. Now all reports are related to the operation and not to the planning card.
Exemple:
Exemple:
You have an order with a print operation

We have added new endpoints for Cut-Down formats in the public API. This will make it possible to create your own unique list of these formats for each account
We have added new endpoints in the public API for updating invoice. It is now possible to update the status of an invoice. This could be very important when making financial integrations to update the status of an invoice after synchronization.
We have made adjustments of the profitability key figures in the summary for quotation, order and product. In some situation they could be calculated wrong but this has been fixed. This will effect:
Cost
System price
Price
CM1
CM2
CR1
CR2
We have added additional filters in the planning scheduler for supplier. This is very useful when working with subcontracting of part of and order or a complete order.
It is now also possible to make tags for invoices.
It is now possible to specify multiple receivers of emails on a customer card.
Here we have specified that all order confirmations should by default be sent to two different email addresses. You specify thisby using a ; to separate the emails.

It is now possible to get an overview of all files on a quotation/order and on any of the products or their child products. In this example you see 2 files. One uploaded on the product Banner and one uploaded directly on the order. You can see both in the same view on the order card.
We have done general and specific work to improve performance and behavior in the system:
When searching in a list the input is handled better. In some situations some input could be ignored because the search was executed. Now the search is put on hold until you stop writing.
The lists that has been improved are:
Article need - 50% performance improvements.
Quotation and Order - 75% performance improvements.
Planning card - 33% performance improvements.
Planning scheduler - 50% performance improvements.

Not creating printing plates.
Will not be included when calculating number of intakes.
The announcement in release 2025-04-22 on how we handle printing plates has now been implemented and will be included in the upcoming release.
For all offset printing presses you will need to create an article for printing plate and select that on the printing press.
Here is an example of a printing plate article
Here is how you specify the printing plate article on an offset printing press
By doing this the system will use the printing plate for the selected offset printing press to create an article need for plates. This will make it possible to have a more detailed calculation of printing plates and also to be able to report any extra consumptions of printing plates in production. Stock management of printing plates will also be handled.
Plus additional minor adjustments and fixes.
2025-05-15
If you have not specified any custom margins in the extension, they are now taken from the account settings as default.
We have made changes in the scheduling engine. When you are planning an order it is now not possible to plan an order in past time. If you have selected an older date the order is then still planned from the current time and onwards.

A problem when navigating to an order from the article needs tab has now been fixed.
Purchase order number and purchase order status is now shown as new columns in the list of article needs.
A problem when manually added article needs was not shown correctly has now been fixed.
We have changed the way we calculate the actual cost for articles based on shop floor data collection after production. When a report change the article to another used article the cost is taken from the new article but if you report the same article the cost is taken from the pre-calculation. This means it will not be taken from the article it self. If you for example increase the purchase cost for an article between the moment you create the calculation and you do the report after production the cost will not be affected by that.
Plus additional minor adjustments and fixes.
2025-04-22
It is now possible to specify the number of ups of a specific edition on a specific imposition sheet.
In the folding block window you can specify this exactly how you want it. If the information you specify is not possible to plot in the imposition editor it will plot as much as possible but still calculate according to what you specified.

If flat size it 200x200
You will get one imposition sheet with 1xGerman+1xEnglish+4xSwedish by default
But maybe you dont want that. Maybe you want Swedish on a unique sheet and control the distribution of ups between the English and German you self.
Then you click on the folding block button in the upper right corner of the imposition editor and specify it like this with sheet 1 = 6xSwedish and sheet 2 = 4xEnglish and 2xGerman
Then you click on the folding block button in the upper right corner of the imposition editor and specify it like this with sheet 1 = 6xSwedish and sheet 2 = 4xEnglish and 2xGerman

Planned Delivery, Planned Arrival, Actual Delivery and Actual Arrival on delivery node on Quotation, Order Confirmation and Invoice
Data is "Washed" when pasted in rich text editors. This means that if you copy and paste text from other programs some formatting will be removed and make the text more standard. We have also added a button where you can edit the formatted HTML in the editor if you want and have the knowledge how to.
A new integration point has been added in the Report API for Post Calculation. This will make it possible to create custom Post Calculations.
A problem with Order Amount and Discounts in Percentage on Order Conformations has been fixed.
Plus additional minor adjustments and fixes.
Important information for next releases - We will do a very big refactoring on how we handle plate costs in the system. Instead of specifying the generic cost of one plate on the machine card you will instead specify what plate article you will use for the specific machine. When the estimation is done in a quotation or order the cost will be generated as article needs on the product instead of a material cost on the print operation. This will also make it possible for operators to report how many plates were used in the production to have a more accurate post calculation.
Important Tip - In the upper right corner you can select the period you want to see data for. Try to use year as often as possible. This will increase performance for you significally.

Invoice address
Invoice method
Customer corporate registration number
Customer country
We have adjusted the BI API so we include tags. This means that dashboards will have the possibility to filter on tags.
We have re-activated cache in lists. This means that if you do any filters or search in a list, navigate to another card or list and return to the original list you will see the original state.

A problem when badges in the user interfaces could not show correct translations with all types of alphabets has now been fixed.
It is now possible to use the API to add new paper qualities for the article register.
We have made a complete rework of how the external work is handled. Now it is possible to set the internal work object or the external supplier on an operation in the same component. Here it is also possible to set the purchase cost for the operation. If you then expand the operation you can also set all additional information like normal.
It is now possible to create manual time reports. If you have something that you want to register a time report for and it does not belong to a planning card in an order you can add the time report manually and fill in the relevant information.
Duration has now been added to the integration for order data in the BI. This makes it possible to display the make ready and production time on an order or parts of an order in dashboards in the BI.

We have added the support for the Romanian language in the system.
We have added support for supplier price lists for external work. If you set an operation to be produced externally by a subcontractor and that subcontractor has a supplier price list configured this price list will be used to calculate the cost for the operation. The customer price will be calculated like normal using markup, custom price or customer price list.
Additional folding schemas has been added. The new ones are:
18-page fold (3x3)
24-page fold (4x3)
24-page fold (3x4)
We have added support for multiple invoice number series. You can configure if you want a profile to use a unique invoice number series or not. If you set it to yes all invoices for that profile will have a unique invoice number series. If you use a profile with this set to no the invoice will get the invoice number from the normal invoice number series. This switch could not be toggled back and forth so if you have set it to yes and created an invoice number using that profile you cannot switch it back. You will have to create a new profile.
Plus additional minor adjustments and fixes.
