Market Package no. 15 was released this morning. Besides new German functionality, it includes several globally relevant enhancements and a long list of bug fixes
Small/Standard
Any payment type can now be set up to handle cash discounts. This includes a day limit (a field where you enter the number of days the discount is valid), a discount rate and an account for booking the discount.
Currently, this works for customer invoices only. When the customer payment is booked - with the invoice number explicitly stated - the discount will be booked automatically, if the payment date is within the day limit from the invoice date.
Changes for administrators
Entry approval can now be enabled for administrator users. This is particularly useful when restricting junior administrators’ rights.
In Caseware export, including opening entries and sum accounts is now optional.
API changes
Price groups/lists are now exposed (Stock management only).
On Accounts, the field Opening Account is now exposed. This is particularly useful for reporting tools.
It is now possible to search for customers by e-mail address. This has been requested by quite a few webshop integrators.
Bug fixes
- In the UK VAT Detail report, it is now possible to see more than 1,000 entries (no paging buttons were shown before).
- In the API, it is no longer possible to create products whose numbers have leading or trailing spaces (leading or trailing spaces are now ignored).
- In Bank Reconciliation, it is no longer possible to import entries with dates outside created accounting years.
- In Report Designer, some misalignment errors when exporting to Excel have been fixed.
- In the order list, searching by product number and then changing from line-mode to order-mode no longer produces an error.
- The supplier ledger card report now has the same ‘max 5,000 entries in a run’ limit as the customer ledger card. This is to limit the amount of resources used by any single run.
- Deductions on customer/supplier groups can no longer be set up without all required fields filled in.
- In sales accruals, when invoice lines were marked for accrual, but with no accrual account defined on the underlying product group, a proper error message wouldn’t always be reported – leading to a system error instead when booking the invoice.
- In Report Designer, several bugs related to multi-company reporting have been fixed.
- Also in Report Designer, when copying finance codes from another company/default setup, any default setups from secondary administrators are no longer listed twice.
- In the Project Accounting add-on module, a seemingly very old bug has been fixed: Project managers with invoicing access – but NOT full access to the Sales tab – would experience a system error subsequent to booking invoices.
- Also in Project Accounting, time entries from the API that were dated on the last day of an accounting period could incorrectly end up not approvable due to an erroneous “Date outside accounting period” error.
- In electronic invoicing some rounding issues leading to validation errors have been resolved.
German functionality
VAT setup and reporting are now supported.
The master information field “Handelsregistereintrag” is now available on companies, administrators, customers and suppliers – and as merge fields in various layout templates.
Norwegian functionality
Experimental support for reporting VAT online to altinn.no has been added.
