Posted on 07 May 2009 by Comments (4)

Improvements to Bills

Those of you that like to track payments to suppliers will be pleased to know we've made a number of improvements to the way Bills are handled.

On the main Bills screen you will now see a reworked table of Bills which can be filtered by status and date.

Bills options
  • You can now Pay a Bill directly from the edit Bill screen. This will create a manual bank transaction of the same value marked as a Bill Payment.
  • Bill Type has been renamed Category in line with other parts of the application.
  • General Bills performance has been improved.

On the main Bills screen you will now see a reworked table of Bills which can be filtered by status and date.

Bank Transactions

It is now possible to delete bank transactions. From the bank transaction explanation screen simply select Delete this Transaction to remove it from your statement view. If the bank transaction cannot be deleted (because you've already partially explained it) the delete button will appear greyed out and when you click it you'll see a pop up explaining the reason.

Exlpain a Transaction

We'll be rolling out this delete and explain functionality across the app so it's clearer when and why things can be deleted or not.

If you have already explained a transaction you will first have to remove the explanation, by clicking on the Remove this Explanation button, before you can delete it.

Payroll

When setting up (or revising) Payroll you now enter Monthly gross values as opposed to Annual.

Payroll Details

It's also easier to set up and revise your Payroll, and you can easily delete an entire Payroll if you like, whereas previously you would have to delete the individual payslips.

Other updates

Also worth mentioning in this release:

  • You can now edit a Contact directly from the Contact Cards on main Contacts screen. Just click the helpfully labelled edit button.
  • If you import a batch of contacts, it's now possible to undo that last import. This will only work for newly imported contacts.
  • Currency Exchange Loss and Currency Exchange Gain added as new categories
  • You can now create an invoice by adding all the estimate items into a single invoice item
  • Added support for Romanian Lei (universal)
  • Added support for Singapore Dollar (universal)
  • Fixed an issue with the Invoices worksheet in the Excel export file
  • Fixed an issue with our handling of partnership drawings and capital accounts
  • Fixed an issue with handling of Pre-startup Capital Purchases
  • Ongoing improvements to the user interface that you may or may not notice.

Over to you...

Great stuff, especially the paying bill from the bill screen itself.

Think you have the wrong image above though for the Bills screen.

Hey guys,

Thnx for another great update! Good to see you're continuously improving this neat application ;)

Thumbs up!

One question though:
If a bank transaction has been deleted, will it be on the list again after a partly overlapping import?

Cheers,
Marc

@Marc

Yes it will -- all the newly uploaded transactions will be visible.

Hi Olly,
quick reply, thanks!

Good to know; I'll keep this in mind when defining my upload files.
