Release Notes: R20.4 May 27, 2020

Drafts: Possibility to include drafts in reports & mass manage them

As a first step towards our financial statements report generator we are adding new functionality to our main reports to facilitate your work at year's end.

You can now choose to include journal drafts in the Balance Sheet report and the Profit and Loss report to be able to simulate how the journals would affect your accounting before you actually post them. When drafts are included,  the drill down will take you to a version of the general ledger that includes the drafts. Reports that include drafts clearly state that and are marked as preliminary.

When you are happy with the result you can then mass manage selecting a posting date for your drafts and then posting them. Read more here.

Where: 

• Include drafts: Reports - Balance sheet report & Profit & Loss
• Mass manage: Journal list - Drafts 

The Balance Sheet and Profit & Loss reports have moved to a new report generator

In the new report you get the possibility to see the report and the selection window in one view so you do not need to hopp back and forth to obtain a new selection of the report.

• We have also taken the opportunity to fix the way we have presented certain 0- amounts. Now all are presented uniformly as: 0,00 with two decimals.
  
  
• Also, when you print a report per Cost Center and choose specified & Excel, you will get one P&L report per Cost Centre in its own tab of the Excel sheet.

Currency updates 

The document date sets the currency rate

When you have activated the functionality for automatic currency updates and create a customer invoice or a purchase invoice that uses a foreign currency, it is the invoice date that will set the currency rate used in the invoice 

The functionality works in the same manner for: Quotes, Orders and Purchase Orders as well

Automatic calculation of the currency difference

If you want to set the full payment difference of an invoice as a currency difference, you can now indicate this by pressing on the new Calculate button available in the payment modal in Banking.

Account statement printout

The account statement under Banking can now also be exported to, Excel, CSV & TSV. Use the printer icon in the top right hand corner to print in these formats (Released in 20.3, April).

Possibility to rotate images

Now you can rotate the images in the linked document section before they are attached to Journals or invoices. To be able to rotate an image you need to open it in a new window (box icon  in the top right hand corner). Once in its own window the rotate icon will appear in the top right hand corner.
