BALANCE SHEET ITEMIZATION

Balance sheet item register

We have created a register for balance sheet items. Register can be found by selecting Management > Accounting info > Balance sheet item register. In the register user can create new balance sheet items, rename items, set items passive, and delete unused items. The following info about the balance sheet items will be available in the register:

  • Balance sheet item name
  • Is the item active or not
  • Usage quantity
  • Additional information
  • Creator
  • Creation time
  • Modifier
  • Modification time

Old balance sheet items which were created before register release don’t have actual creator or creation time.

When creating a new balance sheet item, the name needs to be unique. Name with lower and upper cases are treated as same item. When renaming an item, the new name is updated to everywhere, also to closed tracking periods and fiscal years. This enables, for example, fixing typos.

Deleting an item is possible if it is unused and if it is not signed to bank statement posting defaults. If the item cannot be deleted, it can be passivated instead. When item is set as passive it is not shown in the balance sheet item drop down in accounting views and it is not possible to add passivated item to the rows.

New item can also still be created in balance sheet item field in accounting views. Old already existing items will be moved to balance sheet item register so that all the existing items can be found there.

Balance sheet item drop-down menu on accounting views

  • We have added a drop-down menu to balance sheet item field in Accounting views and in Bank statement posting defaults Drop-down menu will help selecting the right balance sheet item and this will reduce the number of possible errors in balance sheet item names.
  • In the drop-down menu there are two titles: Popular items and All items.
    • Popular items will show the most used items so it’s easy to pick an item that you use frequently.
    • All items will show all balance sheet items.
    • You can also start writing the wanted item name and then select the one you want.
  • It is also possible to create a new item and then the new item will be saved to balance sheet item register.
    • Please notice that balance sheet item created by other user might not be visible in the drop down before 10 minutes is past from creation due to database update cycle.
  • Passivation and deletion of an existing item is possible only in the balance sheet item register.

PROCOUNTOR MINI

Payment feature will be launched to Procountor Mini!

After June's version release, an update for Procountor Mini application will become available. In the upcoming update, the payment feature will be launched to Mini. The payment feature will fulfill the handling of purchase, travel and expense invoices so that the handling of the invoices can be done easily whenever and wherever.

The payment feature will be a part of Mini's chargeable functions (5,95€/month/user), so the users that are using Mini's chargeable functions will get the payment function for usage without any additional costs.

HOLIDAY PAY

Paying the holidays, when the holiday calculation basis have been changed in the middle of the holiday year

As we have previously informed in the release notes 51.0, changing the holiday settings in the middle of a holiday credit year has not been a supported functionality, though it has been allowed. Only the following calculation basis change has been allowed as per the Annual Holiday act: Changing Monthly with standard divider and Monthly with workday divider to percentage. If any other change has been made, holiday pay or holiday bonuses cannot be paid. 
In case the employee's holiday calculation basis has been changed in the middle of the holiday credit year, we offer an Excel solution for paying the holiday pay and holiday bonuses. The Excel file is usable for employees, whose holiday calculation basis has been changed in the middle of the holiday credit year, and it contains the info that can be used for manually calculating the holiday pay and holiday bonuses to be paid. The Excel file can be found from the employee's Holidays tab in Employee register, Holiday accrual report and when trying to pay the holiday pay or holiday bonus. With the Excel file, we provide further instructions and online manual article for the situation.

We apologize any inconvenience this may cause and we will work on a final solution with better time frame.

Setting up the holiday data

We have made improvements to Set up holiday data view (Payroll > Employee register > Set up holiday data). From 19th of June on, when entering values manually or modifying imported values, and using keyboard to go to the next field, the value in the field is now auto-selected and it can be overwritten directly. Previously user had to select the prefilled/imported data manually before he/she could edit it or it would write the new value next to the old.


USABILITY IMPROVEMENTS

Management reporting / Management reporting by dimension

  • We have added text "Comparison period" to the Management reporting (Reports > Management reporting). When user has switched on the comparison period from the left control panel, the function and label of "Prev. Year" KPI will change to "Comparison period". After selecting the comparison period the figures are shown as per the dates set in control panel.
  • Supplier or buyer company name is now used in Management reporting and Management reporting by dimension reports, instead of the person.
  • Additional information about the reports in question can be found from the online manual:

Login page

  • We are releasing login page improvements in version 53. Login page have now new Procountor logo. Layout is also improved for better usability and accessibility with slightly updated texts and separated input fields for username and password.
  • Also, login credentials mismatch error already follows new design where error message appears between input fields and next button.

Cash flow report

  • The sum is not multiplied anymore on the Cash flow report, if a purchase invoice is paid in parts.

Sales reporting

  • We have fixed the comparison year to correspond selected time period.
  • We have added a new column to the tables for showing the comparison value to user, so it is easier to see, how the percentage is calculated. We have removed product restriction from the change percent, so all products will be taken into account, when calculating the change.
  • PDF report modification was made to correspond the changes of Sales reporting

Sales order / Offer

  • When creating a new sales order or offer, the delivery week is now cleared if delivery dates are removed.

User rights when invalidating Employer's separate report

  • User right consistency has been fixed regarding the Employer's separate report.
  • If user is able to create and send an ESR now he/she is also able to invalidate the same ESR.
