Accounting
New
- Receipts: photograph or upload a till slip, let the assistant suggest the account, then match it to the bank line. Drafts move between receipts and bills either way.
- Exchange rates and Supplier credit notes pages. Exchange rates use the rate for the transaction's own day.
- Financial statements for part of a year, such as an interim pack to 31 August.
- New reports: general ledger, detailed general ledger, account transactions, journal, aged payables, payments made, expenses by category and more. Every report can be previewed, printed and downloaded as a PDF.
- Sub-accounts in the chart of accounts, and a trial balance as at any date in the year.
- Each supplier has a page with what's owed, its supplier invoices and, from Inventory, its purchase orders.
Improved
- Pick the VAT treatment for each bank statement line when you approve it, including in bulk.
- Bank imports read Emirates NBD exports and recognise transfers between your own accounts.
- Financials uses the names accountants expect: Supplier invoices, Expense receipts, the General journal, Debtors control and Creditors control.
- VAT201s fall due on the 25th unless you choose eFiling's last business day, and reopening a finalised VAT201 asks you to confirm first.
- Journal numbers are never reused: editing an invoice or deleting a bank upload reverses its entries instead of deleting them.
- Capturing a bill finds the supplier by VAT number first.
- Typing a South African bank's name fills in its universal branch code.
Invoices
New
- Credit notes by amount or by line, refunds that post to the books, and a client account statement. Credit notes have their own list.
- Save an invoice as a draft and issue it later. The assistant and MCP create drafts unless told to issue.
- Sales orders: create one directly or from a quote, invoice it in one or more goes, and print a pro forma.
- Price levels and client price lists.
- Receivables aging on the invoice list, and a Monthly client sales report.
Improved
- An invoice can't be issued into a finalised VAT201 or a closed financial year.
- Quotes have their own page, a discount, a revision number and a change history.
- Invoices carry a reference, delivery date, ship-to and contact, VAT per line, client categories and sales codes.
- Add or edit your VAT number and bank account in place on an invoice. Bank accounts take an optional SWIFT/BIC.
- Client lists load quickly, even for companies with thousands of clients.
Fixed
- Edit client opens with the client's details filled in.
Inventory
New
- Inventory is open to everyone with an Inventory role: items, stock on hand, opening stock, adjustments and stock takes counted on a phone with barcode scanning. Stock movements post to Financials.
- Purchase orders: draft them by hand or from the reorder report, email or download them as a PDF, and record deliveries. "Create supplier invoice" fills a supplier invoice with what's arrived.
- A Goods received not invoiced report, checked against Financials.
- Reports: sales by item, client category and sales code, stock movement, slow movers, write-offs and stock-take variances, ABC analysis, purchase price history, open orders and reorder. Compare with an earlier period, save views, and email a view weekly or monthly.
- A dashboard with this month's sales and margin, items to reorder, late purchase orders and your top items and clients.
Improved
- Stock reserved for sales orders, and stock on hand showing what's reserved, on order and available.
- Items can have several suppliers with their own codes, and a maximum stock level.
- Exports to CSV, Excel and PDF, low-stock alerts, and a history on items and purchase orders.
Payroll (South Africa)
New
- The assistant can add a new starter and change who's left out of SDL, shown on the next pay run for you to review. ID, tax and bank details are always entered by a person.
Improved
- Click an amount on the bank payment file, EMP201 or UIF declaration to copy it.
- My pay shows the pay date until a payslip is paid, and companies can set their own salary payment reference.
- The reconciliation can be previewed, printed and downloaded as a PDF.
Track
Improved
- Saved reports can be previewed, printed and downloaded as a PDF.
- One person on Track is free with any plan. From the second person, everyone has a seat.
Fixed
- A duplicate project code gives a clear message.
- Toasts show at the top of the screen again.
