The latest set of new features will be released tomorrow, June 16th, as Market Package 7.  This is possibly the best we’ve delivered so far and it contains some really fantastic improvements requested by users of e-conomic.

Quick Day Book – users of the QDB will receive a warning when they close the window asking whether they want to save before closing.

Include day book entries –  this option has been added to the aged debtor, aged creditor and customer/supplier ledger card reports.

P&L report drill down - The Profit and Loss report now allows for drilldown to entries!  Simply click on a total in the report to see a pop-up window showing the entries that make up the total.

Day book imports - a new column has been added for the Invoice no. field.

Sales invoice attachments - In Design & Layout, it is now possible to add an additional document (PDF files only) to a template. This is particularly useful for adding, for example, trading or warranty terms. There’s no limit to the number of pages of the additional document.

Invoice date control – In Customer setup, it is now possible to specify whether the invoice date should default to today’s date (as hitherto) or the date of the last-booked invoice.  Clients who have chosen to see the quotation/order/invoice option when creating new invoices may also overrule the default date for each new invoice.

User deregistration – Administrators can now edit the deregister date of users, making it much easier plan in advance the removal of access for employees who are leaving.

Undo invoice/payment matches – It is now possible to cancel (and hence redo) matches of customer/supplier entries.   Any exchange rate differences will be reversed as well.  Note that matches cannot be cancelled if either of the matched entries is in a barred or closed period.

Select multiple invoices for matching – In the day books, when entering a customer or supplier payment it is now possible to select from a list of all open customer/supplier entries for matching.  Also, matching from the customer/supplier lists has been revamped to make one-to-many matches much easier.

Departments on subscriptions - It is now possible to set departments on subscribers. Previously, departments could only be set on products. If both a subscriber and a product has a department, the subscriber department setting takes precedent.

Project accounting, employee expenses - When registering expenses, the cost type VAT code can now be overruled on a per-expense basis. This is useful where a given cost type covers expenses that are subject to different rates of VAT.  Additionally, the list of expenses now displays the VAT code and VAT amount for each expense.

Stock management, cost price – When issuing product orders, receipts or supplier invoices, it is now possible to see the recommended cost price for each product.

API – numerous new features have been added, details of which can be seen in What’s in API Toolbox #1? Striving to be the best in business, we have also launched a new online API Forum to meet the demands of the growing number of people who want to integrate their system with e-conomic.  The API Forum is a place where developers who use e-conomic’s API can meet and exchange stories, tips ‘n’ tricks and help other users.
