Filter Available Credits in Pay Bills

Increase your efficiency when paying bills and apply just the credits you want. You can now quickly view available credits created within a date range using the new filter on the Pay Bills page. For example, you can exclude credits created before, after, or matching the dates of the AP bills in the selection. This flexibility saves you time by reducing the need to drill into the details to individually exclude specific credits.

  • Personalize list views on the fly—add, remove reorder, resize, and freeze columns with drag and drop interactions.

  • Compare records details side by side using a split view mode.
  • Batch operations such as bulk delete.

  • More colors for displaying your hierarchy

Creation Rules Now Support VAT and GST Transactions

Using creation rules to add VAT and GST tax to journal entries and credit card transactions, you will save time during reconciliation and reduce the potential for errors. Tax calculations are accurately recorded using tax details assigned to a tax schedule, and generated transactions are inclusive of tax.

Entering tax details on a creation rule transaction template is effortless, and a creation rule will always use the latest tax details assigned to the given tax schedule.
