# Release Notes for April 2026 EMDECS KONA Update.
## Updated as of April 2nd, 2026
| **SEQ.** | **Description** |
| --- | --- |
| **1** | Fixed an error that would occur when searching for a part while using the Add from Inventory Invoice option to add to a Vendor Invoice and the search criteria had one or more CONTAINS criteria. |
| **2** | Several enhancements were made to EMDECS’ QuickBooks Online integration: - Added support for mapping EMDECS *Depot* to QBO *Class* field during export. - Closed work orders (CLOSEWO\_EXT) now autojournalize and export to QBO. This ensures closed work orders without invoices generate journal entries for complete financial records. |
| 3 | Fixed an issue where changing the logo which prints on invoices would instead remove the logo. |
| 4 | Fixed the PMIR printout so that longer Notes would not be cut off. |
| 5 | Added a system parameter which lets you include existing work required for a unit on a work order estimate for that unit. The default is the previous behaviour, which was to not allow it. If you are interested in being able to do this, please contact BrightOrder CX. |
| 6 | Fixed an issue where the tax override dropdown in the customer details screen could show only a maximum of 25 different tax code options. |
| 7 | Fixed an error that would occur when using an existing customer on a Big Commerce-integrated invoice. |
| 8 | Added new functionality to the **Administration \> Standard Codes \> Repair Order \> Cause/Reason** tab. You can now categorize items in a GL batch export by service reason (e.g., Accident, Maintenance) for use in external accounting systems that support this kind of metadata. This makes it easier to group GL items by category for analysis. The categories are customizable and created on the new GL Account Service Reason sub-tab of this screen. |
| 9 | Fixed an issue where, if an estimate was voided after a work order was created for it, it was not possible to create a new estimate for that unit. |
| 10 | Added a new system parameter which prevents or allows technicians from adding labour to an SRT guide. The default behaviour is to disallow this action. If you would like your techs to be able to do this, please contact BrightOrder CX. |
