##### Features
* The **Work Order** Gantt view now shows each bar in a color that matches its status instead of the default color. (https://github.com/frappe/erpnext/pull/57636)
* On the **Subscription** form, choosing a plan automatically fills in _Cost Center_ and other accounting fields from the plan. When a field is missing from the plan, it comes from the linked **Item**, and any values you already entered stay in place. (https://github.com/frappe/erpnext/pull/57622)
* When a **Material Request** has items from different suppliers, creating a **Purchase Order** now lets you choose the _Supplier_ for each item. The system creates one **Purchase Order** per supplier. (https://github.com/frappe/erpnext/pull/57698)

##### Bug Fixes
* The system skips electronic invoicing for opening **Sales Invoice** documents in Italy. (https://github.com/frappe/erpnext/pull/57590)
* Makes **Purchase Receipt** cancellation use the same linked-document check as other forms, so a submitted **Purchase Invoice** blocks a direct cancel. The "Cancel All Documents" action still cancels the invoice first and then the receipt. (https://github.com/frappe/erpnext/pull/57597)
* Allows users with edit access to remove items from "Update Items" in **Sales Order** without needing cancel or delete access on the order. Item lines with ordered, received, delivered, or billed quantities still cannot be removed. (https://github.com/frappe/erpnext/pull/57601)
* Adds a new Accrued Manufacturing Expenses account group to the Australian standard chart of accounts and marks the 115 account group as a bank account. (https://github.com/frappe/erpnext/pull/57608)
* Items produced from materials that cost nothing stay at zero cost instead of using the item's own cost or the cost from the **Bill of Materials**. This keeps the finished item at zero cost in those cases. (https://github.com/frappe/erpnext/pull/57513)
* When you create an **Asset** from a purchase document, the _Net Purchase Amount_ now comes from the item’s _Valuation Rate_ and quantity instead of the purchase line total. (https://github.com/frappe/erpnext/pull/57620)
* Uses the existing **Item Group** root when ERPNext is set up, so the built-in item groups stay under one main group instead of splitting into two top-level groups. Merges any duplicate "All Item Groups" entry into that root on update. (https://github.com/frappe/erpnext/pull/57630)
* Uses the correct inventory account instead of picking one at random when more than one is set up. (https://github.com/frappe/erpnext/pull/57632)
* Prevents **Period Closing Voucher** from being submitted or cancelled for a frozen accounting date. (https://github.com/frappe/erpnext/pull/57641)
* In **Stock Entry** with purpose Receive from Customer, adding an item row now leaves _Target Warehouse_ blank when no matching row is available to copy from. When a matching row exists, the field is copied into the new row. (https://github.com/frappe/erpnext/pull/57638)
* Projects marked `On hold` no longer appear when choosing a project in **Task** and **Timesheet**. The "Project Summary" report now includes `On hold` in the status filter. (https://github.com/frappe/erpnext/pull/57243)
* The "Stock and Account Value Comparison" report now includes only child warehouses whose account matches the parent warehouse. Warehouses with a different account are no longer grouped under the parent account. (https://github.com/frappe/erpnext/pull/57557)
* Filtering "Accounts Receivable" and "Accounts Receivable Summary" by _Sales Partner_ uses the partner set on each **Sales Invoice**, so invoices assigned directly to a partner appear in the results. The _Sales Partner_ column shows the partner from the invoice, and returns are grouped with the original invoice. (https://github.com/frappe/erpnext/pull/57648)
* Return documents in **Delivery Note** and **Sales Invoice** now use the original item linked in **Packed Item** when the direct item link is missing. Those returns use the origi
