Highlights & Innovations

Artificial Intelligence natively in fabular.

With v4.0.0, AI officially makes its way into fabular.: Prompts can be created, managed, and reused as standalone objects. A chat history stores conversations directly within the system for full traceability. Intelligent support thus becomes a natural part of daily work — right where the data is generated.

June 09, 2026 at 10:30 AM Unveil live what fabular 4.0.0 means for your company — with groundbreaking features, the next generation of FabAI and everything that makes your ERP fit for the future.

Shop App — the mobile platform for your customers

The Shop App, the online shop for your customers, is now available as a full-fledged mobile app for iOS and Android — the complete digital sales platform for your customers, on any device.

Features

We believe that good software is never finished. It grows with the people who use it — and with the challenges they overcome daily.
The features in this version are the result of this idea: well-thought-out, practical, and with the clear goal of truly changing your daily routine.

Improvements

Details make the difference. Every improvement on this list is the result of feedback, observation, and the commitment to
fabular. making it a little better every day — for those who work with it daily.
AI: ActivityFlow – Categorizing Results & Enhanced Enquiry Functions

Task results can now be categorized as positive, negative, or neutral — for better analysis and overview. The survey header displays additional information: the partner's region and contact person including email. Calculated fields in the questionnaire now correctly adopt the configured width. Workflow-relevant enquiries can now be specifically assigned to a partner via their own foreign key, and processing steps in workflows now dynamically recognize the triggering FlowPos.

AI: Agent Orchestration & Enterprise Performance Hub

AI agent orchestration enables the management of multiple agents and the control of their interaction. The Enterprise Performance Hub provides an overview of all running agents, their functions, and utilization. A new task scheduling interface shows when each agent will be executed.

AI: Flexible Model Selection – Local, Cloud & Multi-Model

fabular. now supports running AI models on local hardware — either on-premise (e.g., in Asia or Frankfurt) or in the cloud. Each assistant can be configured independently: Different agents can use different models and locations. Supported models: Gemma (local), Azure OpenAI, Mistral/Qwen, and more.

AI/KI: ActivityFlow – Checked Icon & more flexible hint texts

Once an enquiry reaches 'finished' status, it is marked with a check icon in the overview — progress is visible at a glance. Hint texts that derive their content from a query no longer require mandatory fixed text. This makes configurations leaner and easier to maintain.

AI/KI: Questionnaire attachable to tour

Questionnaires can now be directly attached to tours — similar to the function for partners and articles. The assignment depends on the TourType.

Article: Procurement Type Versioning Corrected

When an article is versioned, the procurement type (ArticleProcurement) is now correctly carried over and transferred to the valid version upon ChangeSet acceptance, thereby eliminating data loss during versioning.

Compliance: Audits – Detailed information on the land map

On the agricultural production environment map, hovering over a field now displays region codes (1-4), status, and all linked items for the current year, including the area. The labels to be displayed can be configured via the UI-C crmpartner_prodEnv_map_pointInfo.

Compliance: Audits – New Interface with Mobile & Photo Integration

The audit interface has been completely rebuilt — more structured, clearer, and optimized for mobile devices. Audits can be conducted directly on a smartphone, including photo integration and AI-supported evaluation.

Compliance: Audits – Sanctions, Deviations & Questionnaire Enhancements

The audit module has been extensively enhanced: Answer types for questions can now be pre-filled or configured as mandatory fields. Questions now have an optional comments field. Auditors can directly see sanction results and the processing period for each deviation. Deviations are displayed together with associated corrective actions in a single view. Multiple audit processes (EnqPartJobs) can be bundled into one questionnaire. At each higher level, a badge immediately indicates whether violations exist. Tasks are now immediately visible even for newly created surveys.

Compliance: Certification Body Portal – Sub-customers in the Overview

In the Certification Body Portal, for customers with subordinate operations, the names and certification levels of sub-customers are now also displayed in the overview — for better clarity in complex customer structures.

CRM: Bulk Editing – Meaningful Error Message

The error message during bulk editing, when a partner has more than one primary address, is now clear and actionable.

CRM: Campaign System – Parent Partner Contacts

Contacts of the parent partner are now also visible to the child partner. This means the complete communication history is viewable at the operational level — even if the original email was addressed to the manager. Activation is done via a flag in the relationship type, followed by clearing the DaoCache.

CRM: Lead Capture, Sales Funnel & Leadboard

Leads can be captured directly in fabular. and managed in a sales funnel. Business cards can be scanned and photographed via the mobile app — the AI automatically captures the data and creates the contact. A new Leadboard provides an overview of all leads and their current status in the CRM process.

CRM: Master Data – Account Holder optional

The "Account Holder" field in the bank details can now be configured as an optional field via UI configs. Previously, it was always technically required upon saving, despite the "required field" checkbox being deactivated.

CRM: Print Log

All files printed directly by the partner using their partner ID will now be saved in a print log — for complete traceability of all printouts at the partner level.

CRM: SEPA Creditor Identifier can now be managed

The SEPA Creditor Identifier can now be stored directly via the interface in the client's bank details — previously, this value, which is important for direct debit collection, was hardcoded in documents.

DMS: AI Document Analysis & Automatic Posting Suggestions

In the DMS, documents can now be directly analyzed by AI: The content is automatically extracted, posting suggestions are generated, and the system routes the document to the correct workflow. Workflows control who approves the document and when.

DMS: Tax ID Number & Document Deletion Function

The partner's tax ID number is now also displayed in the DMS, including consideration for multiple VAT ID entries. Documents not yet assigned to a workflow can be directly removed via a new delete button, as long as they are still in the initial status.

FICO: Branch on Contract can be set to non-editable

The branch at contract level can now be set to non-editable via a UI configuration — useful for contracts created through external interfaces. Default: editable.

FICO: Conditions – Rejected Items Gray

Rejected items in the conditions are now clearly marked in gray. The color logic from LINA/LARA has been fully adopted into fabular-Core.

FICO: Contract Sub-items – Status Correctly Set

When posting purchases, the statuses of sub-items are now correctly updated. This behavior can be controlled via a new logical UI-C — active by default.

FICO: Financial Accounting – Account Deletion Protected by Validator

When deleting an account, a validator now checks if there are already transactions — to prevent accidental deletion of active accounts.

FICO: Financial Accounting – Posting Batches for Bank Transactions

Financial Accounting receives a new level of posting control: Bank transactions will now go through a posting batch instead of being posted directly. Open items receive a three-part status (open, cleared, not finalized), and non-finalized postings are clearly marked in the account statement. Batches can be edited before release — add/remove open items, adjust cash discount. In open item clearing, open items are locked in batches and provided with a tooltip, preventing duplicate clearings. Additionally: chargeback identification directly in payment receipts, extended BMD interface for tax periods, and EC Sales List report identification for tax codes.

FICO: IDW PS 880 Certification

fabular. has been officially certified according to IDW PS 880 since May 2026 — the authoritative standard for compliant accounting software in Austria and Germany. This means fabular. can be used as an official accounting system. Standard documents comply with legal compliance requirements, including tax declarations.

FICO: Payment Run – Partner Identifier as Heading

In the payment run, the partner identifier (partner number + partner name) is now used as the heading. The account number appears below it for better allocation of payments.

FICO: Payment Run – Search Field for Results

A search field is now available in the payment run (at least by partner number), which significantly facilitates working with large payment run results.

FICO: Posting Rules – Central Accounting Rules

Accounting rules can now be maintained via a central GUI — with column filtering and sorting. Account assignments for conditions, account, settlement agent, branch, tax case, tax level, and country are managed centrally. Partners and partner groups can be directly linked to an accounting rule.

Financial Planning: Budgeting, Sales Planning & Kanban Boards

Production budgets can now be stored in the financial planning module — fabular. enables a direct actual-vs-target comparison. Additionally, sales and demand planning is available: annual sales targets are recorded and also monitored in an actual-vs-target comparison. Planning tasks can be displayed in Kanban and Scrum boards.

Integrations: Chameleon – Advanced XML Structures Supported

The Chameleon module now supports more complex XML structures: Repeating tags can be combined with both attributes and child elements — for more flexible and complete EDI exports.

Integrations: EBIX – Direct Banking System Connection

The EBIX integration provides a direct native connection to the banking system: bank statements are automatically imported from banks, and transfers are submitted directly via EBIX. Additionally, Fairtrade messages are supported.

Integrations: EDI – Configurable Spaces in UNA Segment

In EDI exports, spaces in the UNA segment can now be defined using a dedicated placeholder parameter (#SPACE_PLACEHOLDER#). This prevents segments interpreted as empty from being deleted, ensuring correct validation by the recipient.

Integrations: FAB API – Official WebAPI with Service Suites

The FAB API offers an official, use-case-specific grouped REST API for standard services. Available suites: E-commerce, Stock, Marketing Transactions, and Quality Assurance. The documentation can be viewed directly in fabular. via the FAB API menu item.

Logistics: POS – Stock dispatch correctly completed

When a sale with a disposition and a stock dispatch is created via the POS, the stock dispatch is now correctly set to "Completed" — ensuring consistent data throughout the entire sales process.

Logistics: Weighing interface – Various bug fixes

Several bugs in the weighing interface have been fixed: display issues with weight entries, validation errors when changing items, errors when opening existing transactions, and issues with negative quantities from multiple sources.

Logistics: Weighing Mask – Performance Improvement (Bean Caching)

The TransBean is now cached system-wide and no longer rebuilt with every API call. This significantly improves the performance of the weighing mask.

Mobile: Offline Auditing Feature

Audits can now be saved and conducted offline in the fabular app — no internet access required. Once completed, the data is automatically synchronized.

Mobile: Push Notifications for Shop App Users

Push notifications can now be sent directly to users of the Shop App. Campaigns and target groups are managed through the campaign system, ensuring targeted marketing actions reach the right customers directly on their smartphones.

Portal: Deep links enabled for search pages

Regular search pages can now be opened via deep links. Four parameters are required: param_target, param_searchpage, param_searchprof, param_skipDefaultSearchProfSearch.

Portal: Pool GUI – Filter & Query Directly Visible

In the Pool GUI, the code for the filter and data preparation query can now be displayed directly via a popup icon — without having to open the filter. Activation via UI-C pool_poolpos_filter_filterxdpopup.

Portal: Production Environments – New Fields & Management

KG Portal users can now directly populate new production environments with name, cadastral district, FLIK, and region when creating them. In the production yield overview, the fields cadastral district, FLIK, conversion start, and last inspection date can optionally be displayed, sorted, and edited. Production environments can now be specifically terminated — with the option to remove only the crop or also the area.

Portal: Searchboard – Quick Entry Values Saved

The last selected values in the Searchboard's quick entry are now saved per search profile in the browser and pre-filled on the next access.

Production Planning: Bottleneck Analysis & Gantt Chart

Dependent production orders are now visualized in a bar and Gantt chart. A bottleneck analysis shows the critical path: If filling and mixing orders overlap or shift, the conflicting order is highlighted in red. The analysis also takes into account the capacity of individual resources.

References: Delivery term – New versioning field

Delivery terms now include a new 'Version' field, enabling different versions of a standard to be stored with traceability.

References: GLD reference value – percentage deviation configurable

In addition to the GLD reference value, there is now a new field for the allowed percentage deviation. This can be accessed via the UI-C article_erp_other_allowedMovingAvgPriceDeviationPct.

References: Item – Plant Protection Product Field & Stock Quantity Widget

Items can now be assigned a plant protection product registration number — configurable via UI configs as an optional or mandatory field. Additionally, the stock quantity widget now displays values even when no orders are present.

References: PIM – Ingredients, Vegan Flag & Duplication

Ingredients can now be assigned a functional class (e.g., emulsifier), marked as allergens, and receive their own sorting number for label printing. A new vegan flag ensures that an item is only considered vegan if all its ingredients are vegan — fabular. checks this automatically. When duplicating items, manufacturers, EAN/GTINs, and texts can be selectively excluded. The Excel item import has been extended to include the mandatory fields RefBaseAmount and TaxType.

References: Recipes – Loss Calculation in % & Document Flag

Cooking and preparation loss can now optionally be entered directly as a percentage — fabular. automatically calculates the gram value (and vice versa). A new exclusion flag in the recipe item type allows for the exclusion of packaging from the percentage calculation. A new document flag in the recipe type controls whether recipe items should be printed on documents.

Security: MS 365 Integration & Two-Factor Authentication

fabular. now supports MS 365 integration — users can log in with their Microsoft identity. This also makes two-factor authentication directly available via Microsoft.

Technology: fabular4Me – Unified Menu & Portal Instance

fabular4Me introduces a new unified menu. All functions — portal, app, backend, e-commerce — are now consolidated into a single portal instance. For example, shop grid views from the webshop can also be accessed directly from the regular menu.

Technology: Tomcat 7 → 9 – Security & Performance

Tomcat has been updated from version 7 to version 9. This brings significant improvements in the security and performance of the application server.

Usability: Dropdown improvements in multiple areas

Several dropdown queries have been optimized: address details are now visible, a search dropdown for query types, a filter dropdown for CMS modules and schedule branch filters, and adjustments to interface queries.

Usability: Follow-up action – Configurable open option

For the 'Create follow-up action' feature, it can now be controlled whether the follow-up action is automatically opened or not. Previously, it was always opened — which unexpectedly interrupted the workflow.

Usability: Redesigned Toasts & Consistent User Interface

Toasts — the success and error messages in fabular. — have been visually redesigned: more transparent, modern, and clear. The display is consistent across all modules. Additionally, the entire user experience has been made more compact and streamlined.

Usability: Vouchers – Input values are retained

When creating vouchers via a VoucherBatch, entered values are no longer lost — they are saved and will be available again when the batch is reopened.
