Enhanced standard reports. See this comment http://blog.e-conomic.co.uk/market-package-8-9/#more-840. In particular:
a profit/loss report where one can choose quarter or year and the report produces a standard profit/loss report, but with each period (e.g. month) in the quarter or year in a separate column and the last column for totals.
To also include the “Include day book entries” check both in the Report>>Entries form. This will enable a search of “text” as we use this to reord important information about the journal entry.
To include a department column in all day books so that at a glance we can see the department to which the entry is associated for those who use the department addon.
Many more standard reports!
A more more flexible budget allocation system for those implementing the department addon whereby a single budget is added at the department level. Income and expenditure (at any account code) is simply added or subtracted from the department budget to reflect the remaining budget.
In the department profit and loss report, an option to report against department budget or previous year.
VAT returns – an option to calculate the VAT based on dates AND serial numbers. This would allow transactions that might have missed a VAT quarter to still be dated with the actual date then included in a later quarter.
Date fields – Nice to have 2 date fields for purchase invoices. One for the actual date of the invoice and a second for the date it is to be recorded in ledgers.
Messages – Nice to have an option to automatically alert users by email whenever a message is left on the system for them.
Especially for administrators who might not log in to a client’s data for a while.
Hi Tony
Thanks for your comments, we have made a note and they will added to our list.
Hi Jacquie,
Have you made a note of my comments?
Hi Errol
Yes, we have made a note of all your comments. As Inger stated we will be releasing our next Market Package shortly which includes various report improvements, details of these will be available shortly. One report you did asked about, the Profit/Loss on a month by month basis can be produced using the Key figure report menu option within the Sales tab.
Hi Jacqui,
Yes, you showed me that option but it is does not list by account code and does not present the full values. It doesn’t quite do it for me.
I would love to see a graphical AJAX powered Dashboard with the ability to get a quick view of top customers, top sales, upcoming payments, how much cash is in my bank etc.
In addition to standard portlets the Dashboard should support portlets where the user can add his/her own KPI’s using a simple to use formula editor.
