Uploading Documents Crashing Browsers

Due to a release with Google Chrome/Edge, users were experiencing issues uploading documents to Lightyear. We have made a slight adjustment on our side to allow these to upload successfully until a change is made by browser developers.

Accountancy Software: Sage Intacct - Form 1099

If you have the Form 1099 Report enabled within Sage Intacct, you can populate this data on documents exported from Lightyear into Sage Intacct.

Head over to Accountancy Software Settings and enable Do you use Form 1099? 

Once this is enabled, re-import Sage Intacct Suppliers and you'll see the Form 1099 fields in Sage Intacct suppliers populated where necessary.

Upon export, the Form 1099 fields against a Bill/Adjustment will populate with the data you see on these Suppliers.

Purchase Orders - Auto-Close Regardless of Value

In the scenario where you have a PO for £10.00 and receive an invoice for £9.99, which matching criteria of PO Number and Description (i.e. no amount fields) the PO would remain open because there is still an amount to match to it, disregarding the fact it is only £0.01 and likely due to rounding.

To get around this, we have introduced a new setting in Company Settings > Purchase Orders for Auto Close Regardless of Value which allows you to set a Variance where the amount will be ignored when looking for an automatic match/close on the line of the PO.
