Another batch of useful administrator improvements

1 June 2011

E-conomic's 37th Market Package has many new features and enhancements

Market Package 37 features further administrator enhancements to allow for improved management and registration of clients, as well as ability to add invoice-specific extra documents. Additionally, booking in closed accounting years is now disallowed.

Administrator enhancements

Following many requests, the company registers have been combined – i.e., no more separation of administrator- and client-invoiced companies. Instead, a new column has been added, showing who pays for each company.

When transferring invoicing of a company between administrator- and client-invoicing, it is now possible to change the company’s subscription in the same operation. Of course, when transferring invoicing from the administrator to the client, the administrator is forced to select a new subscription if the client is currently using an administrator-only subscription.

Also, when transferring invoicing to the client, it is now possible to edit the client’s superuser information and invoice e-mail address – and e-conomic will automatically send a notification e-mail to the invoice e-mail address when invoicing has been moved to the client.

When registering clients, a number of additional fields can now be completed – including, on very popular demand, the administrator’s choice of default setup. This way, administrators can define client settings without having to access each client.

Highlighted here are the additional fields added when registering clients, including 'Default setup', 'Paid by', 'Sort code', 'Account number' and 'Co. reg. no.'

Finally, for administrators who have set up their logos in e-conomic, these logos now link to the administrator’s page on the e-conomic website.

Small and standard enhancements

Booking in closed accounting years is no longer allowed! Previously, this 'only' resulted in a warning. However, since booking in a closed accounting year often results in users forgetting to re-close the accounting year in order to have opening balances re-calculated, we have now disallowed this.

Consequently, you are instead forced to actively re-open the accounting year in question, then book any additional entries, and finally re-close the accounting year. This will also allow for a much better audit trail, particularly for accountants.

The e-mail outbox now contains a 'Sent by' column, showing the user ID of the user who sent each e-mail – thus making traceability easier. Please note that since we’re only starting to log this now, any e-mails sent prior to this being launched will have no content in this column.

Scanning module enhancement

On popular demand, it is now possible to add an extra document to a specific invoice. The previous improvements adding this to the invoice layout template works fine for general information – e.g. warranty specifications. However, for invoice-specific additional documents, such as sales-specific specifications, quite a few users have asked for this to be available as well.

Note that, while these documents are uploaded directly when editing the invoice – rather than having to be e-mailed and transferred from 'Unprocessed' – this feature still requires the Scanning add-on module to be activated.

Spain: The VAT statement now shows input VAT as negative, and EU VAT is split into two lines (debit and credit).

Sweden: Similar to Denmark and Norway, Swedish customers can now enjoy automatic city lookup by zip code.
