Our Development Team is continually adding further enhancements to the product in response to customer suggestions.  These are big and small improvements to make our product stronger and our customers' lives easier!

The following are some of the recent enhancements made:

Recurring Invoicing

We've created a great new function to enable you to set up a template invoice to generate on a regular basis to avoid entering the same details each time. This is handy if you need to invoice customers an agreed amount each month on a fixed schedule (e.g. weekly, monthly).

Within Sales Product Invoicing, you can mark an invoice as 'Recurring', record some additional details such as frequency, end date and so on.
accountsIQ will then (kindly!) remind you on the main menu that there are some recurring invoices due for processing. You can then generate these invoices at the touch of a button.  The function also allows for standard and special pricing to apply over selected date ranges.
Later we'll be extending this functionality to include recurring journals (bank, customer and supplier etc).

Check (Cheque) Number Management

We've recently added a new facility to maintain a registry of all of your company check (cheque) numbers that are recorded within AccountsIQ.

If you are making a sundry/batch purchase payment or a bank payment, you can choose to save the check number in the registry. If you reverse a payment, it also records the check number as voided.
You can then print a full list of check numbers for auditing purposes.

Bank of Ireland BACS file Extract

If you’re a Bank of Ireland customer, you can now generate an extraction of supplier payment records for upload to your online banking system. This file is in the Backs format required by Bank of Ireland.
We already support the EMTS format used by AIB.
We'll be soon releasing further file formats including Westpac Bank in Australia.

Audit Trail Reference Display

To facilitate the tracking of transactions the system now displays the Internal Reference (Int. No) at the bottom of the following screens when transactions are processed:

• Sales Batch Invoice/Credit Note
• Sales Receipt
• Sales Credit/Debit Journal
• Purchase Batch Invoice/Debit Note
• Purchase Payment
• Purchase Credit/Debit Journal
• Bank Receipt/Payment Transfer
• General Credit/Debit Journal
• Accruals/Prepayments

Web Services API Available

Our Development Team has been busy extending a new Web Service-based API to cover all the main data entities in AccountsIQ. This enables other 3rd party systems (e.g CRM, EPOS) to exchange data with AccountsIQ over the internet without any need for manual intervention.
Please contact our Support Team for full details of the Web Service specification.

Training Manual Now Available

Over the last few months we've been busy compiling a detailed step-by-step training manual for the use of AccountsIQ.  This extensive documentation covers all aspects of the system and is an invaluable training aid. For further details please contact the Support Team.

In the Pipeline...

We're looking forward to releasing the following further enhancements in the next few weeks:

GL Budget Management: An exciting new tool that will enable you to view all General Ledger activity for a selected account or across categories of accounts.
You’ll be able to compare activity against budget/revised budgets across years at a glance. You'll also be able to generate great charts to view trends across periods and financial years. There will also be options to export to PDF, Excel, and HTML etc!

Bulk Emailing: This will enable you to email standard AccountsIQ documents such as Sales Orders, Invoices & Supplier Remittances to many recipients at the same time. There will be facilities to provide generic or customised message body text, view all emails sent, resend etc.
