MoreUpdate: New look Bank Reconciliation
The bank reconciliation program (that's Check My Statements, to you and I!) has now been substantially amended to improve user experience, correct some minor faults on the calculator and correct problems experienced by larger users that were causing items to remain un-reconciled if ticking a large number of items at a time. The main features are: 1. Transactions now load on one complete page, keeping each transaction to one line 2. Totals now show statement balances 3. Calculator totals are locked to the top left-hand corner, even when scrolling down the page, so you can see projected statement balances at all times. 3. Improvements made to the calculator, making it more efficient and accurate 4. Introducing a new concept of 'Pending' reconciliation. Users have the ability to tick ...
MoreUpdate: Composing Email for Invoices
Following the upgrade of our email servers, the email of invoices now allows you to enter their own 'From' address rather than Liquid. This is the start of a process that will eventually be rolled out across all emails generated by the system. To use, once the email has been generated, a new field is shown: From - this defaults to the current Liquid address. Altering this field will retain the address for future use.
MoreSage 50 Hosted price hike prompts backlash
Sage has come under fire from AccountingWEB members for increasing the price of its hosted application by 56%. Sage 50 Accounts Hosted does what it says on the tin. In contrast to the much simpler Sage One, Sage 50 Accounts Hosted is based on the current version of the developer's flagship desktop accounting application and is marketed through the Sage Accountants' Club and the company's usual business partners. However a recent Any Answers post from Logika highlighted disquiet about a recent increase from £75 a month to £117 (plus VAT). Unfortunately for the AccountingWEB member, the rise was not shown immediately on Sage's website and the firm had quoted the lower £75 pricing to a client. Sage agreed to honour the lower price months, but ...

MoreQ. What’s the best way to record goods received on quantity per order line by date?
A. Use the Goods Received functionality program on Purchase Orders. Not only can you record and display goods received on quantity per order line by date, but you can also allow the flexibility to create invoices per goods received only and enable the option to generate single invoice per goods received or multiple line invoice per selected goods received record. See here for more.
