A bigger, better way to manage your business.

This release introduces Contact Code — a new way to uniquely identify and manage contacts in Bukku — along with a bundle of previously rolled-out improvements to enhance your overall Bukku experience.

We’re introducing Contact Code — a unique identifier for every customer, supplier, and employee in Bukku, making it easier to manage and distinguish contacts.

Previously, contact names had to be unique. Now, you can have multiple contacts with the same name, while each contact is uniquely identified by its own Contact Code.

You do not need to create separate Chart of Accounts for each customer or supplier. Bukku continues to track outstanding balances by contact, with Contact Code serving as the unique reference to identify each contact.

Contact Code will appear throughout Bukku, including contact lists, dropdowns, reports, Statement of Account, and imports.

You can now set a default location for each contact. When creating transactions such as quotations and invoices, the assigned location will be automatically selected instead of using the company’s default location.

This is useful for businesses with multiple branches, where customers can be linked to their usual branch location automatically (e.g. a KLEC customer’s transactions will default to the KLEC branch instead of HQ).

You can now assign up to 6 Contact Groups to a single contact, giving you more flexibility when organising contacts for reporting and recurring transactions.

You can now set more detailed permissions for the Contact module by controlling access based on contact type.

Previously, granting access to the Contact module allowed users to view all contacts. Now, you can choose whether users can access customers, suppliers, or employees separately.

This gives businesses more control over sensitive information and helps prevent users from accessing contact details they do not need.

You can now choose whether to show or hide the Bukku logo within the MyInvois QR code displayed on transaction PDFs.

Simply toggle the setting based on your preference. When disabled, the QR code will be displayed without the Bukku logo.

To update this setting, go to Control Panel > Form Design, click View on your form design, then toggle the Logo in QR option under the MyInvois section. Don’t forget to save your changes.

Toggle ON:

Toggle OFF:

You can now display the contact’s SST registration number on transaction PDFs when the information is available.

To enable this option, go to Control Panel > Form Design, click View on your form design, then toggle on the SST Registration No. option under the Contact Info section.

You can now display the Tax Code column on transaction PDFs for easier reference of the tax treatment applied to each item.

Simply go to the Control Panel, navigate to Form Design, and click 'View' at your form design. Then, toggle on the 'Tax Code' under the Item Columns section and save your changes.

You can now display a tax summary table on transaction PDFs, showing a breakdown of taxes by tax code.

Go to Control Panel > Form Design, select your form and click View, then toggle on Tax Summary under the Summary Table section.

You can now select a Dot Matrix paper size for your document PDFs, making it compatible with dot matrix printers.

Previously, PDFs were limited to A4 and A5 formats. With this update, you can choose a suitable layout for dot matrix printing.

Go to Control Panel > Form Design, click View on your form design, then choose Dot Matrix under Paper Size in the Customise Design section. Select this form design when generating or printing your transaction PDF.

New reports are now available to provide a payment method breakdown for Cash Sales and Cash Purchase transactions, making it easier to track and analyse your cash transactions.

If you’re using MySyarikat for payroll processing, you can now import your payroll files directly into Bukku.

Simply upload the payroll file generated from MySyarikat, and Bukku will automatically create the corresponding payroll entries for you, saving time on manual data entry.

The following updates keep Bukku aligned with the latest SST-02 reporting requirements from Kastam Malaysia.

You can now choose to record Service Tax based on the invoice basis (accrual basis) instead of only the payment basis.

By default, Service Tax is recorded on a payment basis (tax is recognised when payment is received).

If your business follows invoice basis, you can enable this setting so that Service Tax is recognised when the invoice is issued.

To enable this option, go to Control Panel > Company Settings > Tax, then toggle on Enable Invoice Basis Service Tax.

At Control Panel > Company Settings > Tax, after enabling Exempted Tax Codes, you can enter the details of your tax exemption if applicable.

This may include buyer’s sales tax exemption certificate number, special exemption under gazette orders or other approved exemption references.

This information will be automatically included in your e-Invoice submission.

Example Display in MyInvois Document

Below is an example of how the exemption details will appear in MyInvois Document after submission.

Section 18(c) – Total Value of Exempted Taxable Services in the SST-02 report has been split into three categories:

To support this, existing tax codes SVE and SVE8 are now replaced with SVEC1/SVE8C1 (B2B), SVEC2/SVE8C2 (Group), and SVEC3/SVE8C3 (Other).

On transactions, the exempted amount will be labelled accordingly and reported under the corresponding 18(c) subsection in your SST-02 report.

Introduced new tax code NT to support services that are not subject to SST but are not exempted either. For SST-registered businesses, transactions using NT will be reported under SST-02 Section 18(d) – Total Value of Non Taxable Services.

Introduced new tax code SV6E2 (6%) to support the 2% Service Tax exemption for rental and leasing services. For SST-registered businesses, transactions using SV6E2 will be reported under SST-02 Sections 11(c) and 18(c)(3) according to the latest reporting requirements.

You can now delete multiple contacts at once instead of removing them one by one, saving time when cleaning up your contact list.

If a contact has been used in any transaction, Bukku will notify you that it cannot be deleted, so your transaction records stay intact.

You can now delete multiple products or services at once instead of removing them individually, making it faster to manage your product & service list.

If a product or service has been used in any transaction, Bukku will notify you that it cannot be deleted, so your transaction records stay intact.

That wraps up this round of updates! We hope these improvements make managing your business even easier — more updates are on the way. If you need any assistance, our support team is always ready to help. 😊
