February Feature Releases
1st February Release Items
New Map4Me experience
- Lightyear's data extraction technology offers a lot of flexibility. We can extract line items with product codes and quantities, Line items with just descriptions or just summary data if that's all you need. We also extract data from Supplier Statements. Up until this point, users have communicated their data extraction requirements via manual notes in the Map4Me process flow. We have now introduced a new Map4Me process to ensure users are able to give us specific data extraction instructions and avoid any unnecessary back and forth
Impos Partnership Launch
- We have launched a strategic partnership with Impos (https://impos.com.au/) a leading provider of Point of Sale solutions to the Australian Hospitality sector. You can now select Impos as an inventory integration from within Lightyear's Inventory settings section and the export format will be defaulted to the correct Impos format meaning seamless integration of thousands of product purchases within a few clicks.
Send PDF attachments to QuickBooks Online
- You can now send a PDF copy of your bill directly to your QuickBooks Online account automatically when it is exported to Lightyear. Just enable the option in Accounting Software Settings
Bug fixes & Improvements
- Receipt Images now export as attachments to API softwares
- We now bring back 'Chart of Accounts' numbers if they are active in QBO. Within QBO, Admin's can elect to use Account Numbers as well as 'names'.
- Exported Inventory items are now displaying the green exported icon when searching bills in the Archive
- UI updates to make navigation easier of the menu options on the left. This includes:
- Super Admin functions being relocated to the top of the menu within Parent accounts

OCR into Full Availability
- Following an extensive OCR Beta period, we are not activating all new registrations for our OCR extraction capability.
Send attachment to Quickbooks Online
- Users can now elect to send the invoice attachment to QBO as a file. This will attach the file to the Invoice record in QBO. This setting can be activated from the Accountancy Software Settings.
Bug fixes & Improvements

- You can now elect for categories/jobs/classes to not auto-populate at line level.
