aSa.Studio v26.1 is scheduled for release in Q1 2026

Development plans are subject to change: Anticipated features may be altered or moved to different versions.

General

  • Improved support for managing wire products. 
  • A new tool lets you make bulk edits to a group of business partners or jobs. 
  • Many aSa.Studio field labels and messages are now available in French. 
  • Where appropriate, alerts are filtered by location. Example: Users in Location B will most likely not want to receive Alerts if an order is made in Location A.
  • Import - Improved alternate product group validations for sub-products. 

APIs

  • A new API automatically creates products in aSa.Studio based on third-party triggers. 
  • API documentation now includes information about which fields are required. 

General Ledger

  • You can now create year-end journal entries. 

Invoice

  • New tools allow the user to easily adjust the pricing for a project's final lump sum invoice based on the project value, amount shipped to date, and related information.

Order Entry

  • Added new functionality to Pile Cage Designer; the tool now handles spacers, lifting hoops, and stiffener rings. 
  • You can now add pricing to detailed line items on the order report for quotes. 

Product Pricing

  • You can now make bulk updates to matrix pricing and price sheets by importing values from an Excel spreadsheet. 

Processing

  • A new section on the Master Bundle Check List lists stock bundles. This allows regular master bundles and stock bundles to be checked off at loading or at the jobsite. 
  • You now have the option to print a Summary tag at the end of a series of Tags Only (non-computer shearing) tags. 
  • Target Remnant Lengths - Specify "ideal" remnant lengths by machine. When possible, Computer Shearing will cut residual material to match the desired remnant lengths. This allows shop personnel to more easily organize and retrieve remnants for shearing purposes.
  • The system now supports wire drawing manufacturing: creating a "new" wire product from stock wire rod. Cold-drawing machines are supported as part of this enhancement.
  • A new visual legend lets you see more easily which are bars are stock (non-fabricated) on the Material screen. 
  • The program can now dynamically plan and distribute work across a given shop using factors such as cut times, bend times, capacities, and user preferences. View dynamic plans in Processing and Scheduling modules. 

Project Pricing

  • You can now easily apply a price update to all open sales orders and invoices. 

Scheduling

  • Job ID now displays on Load Calendar cards and in the associated control code grid.
  • You can now filter the Load Calendar based on "Today's Date." 
  • Progress by weight, loaded percentage, and fabricated percentage information now displays on the Daily Progress screen. 
  • Open a load on the Load tile by simply clicking the Load Number in the Scheduling grid. 
  • You can now filter the Load calendar by Job and Load. 
  • An option now lets you display Product or Control Code on Daily Progress screen information tiles. 
  • The program can now dynamically plan and distribute work across a given shop using factors such as cut times, bend times, capacities, and user preferences. View dynamic plans in Processing and Scheduling modules. 

Tracking

  • Shipping Containers - The system now allows you to prepare material for placement in a shipping container until a later delivery time.
