Rounding Rows - Smallest Number of Lines

We previously released an enhancement that allows users to double click either of the rounding bells to automatically add both the Tax and Total Rounding Rows at the same time. This further enhancement will add the smallest number of rows necessary.

For example, previously you may have had two rows for the Tax, and one for the Total. Now, when double clicking to add the rounding rows, you will see one for Tax and one for Total (where applicable).
Info
Please Note: This only happens when the Rounding Bell is double clicked. Single clicking a Rounding Bell will continue to add them as normal.

Accountancy Software: Sage 200 - Transaction Reference and File Name

When exporting to Sage 200, the CSV file will now truncate the Invoice Number into the Transaction Reference field, as Sage 200 has a 20 character limit on this field.

The CSV file name will also contain the name of the Lightyear account it has been exported from, making it easier to find which CSV should be imported into Sage.

Bug Fixes:

MYOB Acumatica:

  1. We have fixed an issue for accounts that have disconnected from MYOB Acumatica because of the token expiring - we will now display to you that your Lightyear account has been disconnected and tell you to reconnect.

New Account Codes:

  1. We have fixed an issue where a new Chart of Account code was being created as Not In Use - now, these codes will be In Use or Not In Use as defined by the user creating them.

Accountancy Software: MYOB Acumatica - Document URL

MYOB Acumatica connected accounts can now make use of the Document URL being sent across alongside every document exported from Lightyear.

This can be enabled from within the Accountancy Software Settings modal, set the Export Document URL Link option to Yes.

When enabled, this will appear as so within MYOB Acumatica.

Bug Fixes

MYOB Acumatica:

  1. We have fixed an issue for accounts connected to MYOB Acumatica where, when Branches are enabled, they were unable to update Suppliers or use Smart Extract+ for Suppliers that had a Default Branch.
  2. We have fixed an issue for accounts connected to MYOB Acumatica where, when importing Tax Rates, they were removing the previous codes and adding new ones, e.g., for accounts with 10 tax codes, clicking Import would mean there are now 20 tax codes in the account, and 30 the next Import, and so on.

General:

  1. After some reports of duplicate exports to Accountancy Softwares, we have locked down the Export button to prevent users from double clicking it.

Accountancy Software: WCBS - Invoice and Credit Note Values

We have made an adjustment to our WCBS CSV export file to allow the following values to be exported:
  1. Invoices with negative values on the lines
  2. Credit Notes with positive values on the lines
This will ensure line calculations on the CSV match the document total to be exported correctly into WCBS/PASS.
