Farmlands Payment Integration
Real‑time Farmlands card validation at point of payment
ORION now supports real‑time Farmlands card payment validation via the Farmlands add‑on (AddOn#134 – Farmlands Data Export). This enhancement connects ORION directly to the Farmlands payment gateway, validating payments as they are taken on invoices.
Key benefits
- Live card validation
Confirms card status and available balance before payment is accepted. - Fewer declined or incorrect transactions
Prevents payments from inactive, expired, or insufficient‑balance cards. - Improved accuracy and reconciliation
Approved Farmlands payments are recorded correctly and support refunds. - Seamless invoicing workflow
Take Farmlands payments directly from the invoice screen in ORION.

Marine Rig Improvements (Sales & Workshop)
ORION now provides improved handling of marine rigs across Sales and Workshop, allowing rig items such as hulls, motors, and trailers to be linked directly to job, quote, and invoice sections.
This enables flexible rig workflows while preserving individual service history and readings per item, even when servicing multiple items on a single job.
Key benefits
- Rig items can be serviced and tracked independently or together
- Motors and other sub‑items support item‑specific readings and history
- No need to merge rig items in Workshop to simplify invoicing
- A new Service History (Individual) report shows item‑specific work, even when the item was linked via a section

Automatic matching of future credits during rollover
Debtor payments now support future credit matching, applied automatically during rollover.
Previously, payments could not be matched until after rollover, requiring users to run a matching report and manually review debtors one by one. This enhancement removes that extra step.
Key benefits
- Future credits are matched automatically during rollover
- No need to run post‑roll matching reports
- Less manual review and follow‑up
- Significant time savings for finance teams
A highly requested improvement that streamlines end‑of‑period processing.
