Important Changes
New Executive Summary
An Executive Summary is now accessible from the Power Toolbar. This screen provides a snap shot of the company’s current financial condition that can help managers quickly identify potential areas of concern. The following information is available for users to view on the screen or to print:
· Open sales orders, and period-to-date sales orders and shipments
· Backordered PO, and period-to-date purchase orders and receipts
· Receivable balance, un-invoiced shipments, and period-to-date invoices, receipts and adjustments
· Payable balance, accrued receipts, and period-to-date invoices, payments and adjustments
· Receivable and payable aging
· Total inventory value
· Total bank balance
Easy View of Real Time Cash Position
The system now displays the current book balance for each bank account. It also shows the total un-reconciled amount with a drill-down that displays details of un-reconciled transactions grouped into debits and credits for more convenience. These added features give users a better grasp of their company’s real time cash position to help them more effectively manage their resources.
Password Security
AccountMate supports the comprehensive password policy settings recommended by banks and accountants for Sarbanes-Oxley compliance. Users can define parameters for password structure and expiration; set login by day and time; track history of invalid logon attempts; and use any of the following options:
· Disallow changing of certain user passwords
· Require password change during next login
· Disallow re-use of old passwords
· Disallow multiple logins per user account
· Lock out a user after a defined number of failed login attempts
Productivity Tools
AccountMate has document management capabilities that allow users to attach files to transaction and maintenance records to serve as supporting documents or references that can be retrieved, updated or purged at any time. It also allows for the grid column order and width settings to be defined and saved for each user. Users can easily cut, copy, paste, lookup, e-mail, and phone. They can also use function keys and/or hot keys to navigate around the input screens.
Support Windows Vista
This AccountMate version supports workstations that run on a Windows Vista operating system. Several changes have been made in the system to meet the new Windows Vista security and operating requirements.
New Upsell Management Module
The new Upsell Management module makes it easier to make add-on sales. While booking orders users can see a list of accessory or upsell items; view and select these upsell items when processing customer orders; and separately track upsell item sales for commission purposes. They can even view a script or special instructions as a guide in selling the upsell items. The Upsell Management module integrates with AccountMate’s Sales Order, Accounts Receivable and Inventory Control modules.
Track Lost Sales Opportunities
Sales quotes can be approved and converted into orders for a portion of the order quantity. Sales orders can also be cancelled after partial or no shipment. Users have the option to keep a record of the portion that was not approved or not shipped, and assign a reason for the lost sales opportunity in order to facilitate sales analysis. They can also retrieve lost sales quote or cancelled sales order transactions and convert them into a new quote or order.
Set up Authorized Referenced Accounts
Users can set up a list of GL Account IDs that may be used when recording a vendor’s Accounts Payable invoices to minimize data entry errors and control the transactions that affect their GL Account balances.
Allow Copy and Paste from Excel
The system supports pasting of certain data copied from an Excel file. For users who deal with GL journal entries or accounts payable invoices that involve multiple GL Account IDs, this provides a quicker way to record transactions and help minimize data-entry mistakes.
This feature is implemented as follows:
Copy
and Paste from Excel into the GL Distribution Grid
Users can paste data copied from an Excel file into the AP Invoice Transactions
GL Distribution grid to facilitate data entry. The paste action expects data
for the GL Distribution Accounts and Amount fields. When preparing data in
Excel, users must put the two fields side-by-side in the same column order as
they are originally displayed in the GL Distribution grid. Open the Excel file
and select the lines of data to be copied. Press CTRL + C on the keyboard or
access the Copy function from the Edit menu. Right-click anywhere on the GL
Distribution grid of the AP Invoice Transactions screen and select "Paste
from Excel" in the pop-up menu. The following message will appear:
Do you want to overwrite the existing GL distribution entries?”
Choose "Yes" to replace the default distribution with the records copied from Excel; choose "No" to keep the default distribution and add the records copied from Excel. Each copied record is subject to the same data validation that the system performs when users manually enter the distribution accounts and amounts. When a problem is detected, the record will not be pasted onto the grid. To successfully copy data, the following rules must be met:
· The GL Account ID must be an active record.
· The GL Account ID must be a posting account; it cannot be an allocation account.
· The distribution amount must not be zero.
Copy
Journal Entry Lines from Excel
Users can copy data from an Excel file and paste it into the Journal Entry
Lines tab of the Journal Entry Transactions function. AccountMate expects data
for the Account ID, JE Line Description, JE Line Reference, and either the
Debit or Credit fields to be in the source Excel file. Data in the Excel file
must be arranged according to the original column order of the related fields
in the Journal Entry Lines grid. Each copied record will be validated according
to the following guidelines:
· The GL Account ID must exist in the Chart of Accounts.
· The GL Account ID must be an active record.
· The Debit and Credit fields must have numeric values.
New "Mark All" Checkbox on the Grid Header of the Post JE Batch to GL Function
In
previous versions, the user has to manually mark each checkbox that corresponds
to the journal entry batch that is to be posted. Depending on how many batches
are up for posting, this process may be too tedious for the user.
In this version release, the system is enhanced to allow users to quickly
select all journal entry batches that are available for posting. A checkbox is
placed at the top of the grid for easy access. Mark this checkbox to select all
JE batches for posting; unmark to deselect all records.
"New" Command Button Becomes the Default Choice after Saving an Invoice
To help speed up data entry in this new version, the cursor now falls by default on the “New” command button in the Post AP Invoice dialog box. This will allow users to initiate recording of a new AP Invoice immediately after saving another by simply pressing the Enter key.
Allow Users to Input Fractional Routing Numbers
AccountMate uses a standard formula to calculate the fractional routing number that will be printed on AP and PR checks. However, not all banks subscribe to the same logic for their fractional numbers. This version allows users to enter the fractional routing numbers that will be used with each bank account if they differ from the system-generated values. Here’s how this enhancement works:
· The system uses the information entered in the Account #, Bank Routing # and Branch # fields of the Bank Account Maintenance function to determine the fractional routing #.
· If the fractional routing # populated by the system doesn’t match the one used by the bank, input the correct information in Line 1 and Line 2 of the Fractional Routing Number field in the Custom Check Setup window that is accessed from the Bank Account Maintenance function.
Support Electronic Payments in AP
The AP module now supports the generation of Automated Clearing House (ACH) electronic payment files. Users can activate this feature for each company by marking the "Electronic Payment" checkbox in the AP Module Setup function. To set up ACH direct deposit for each vendor, mark the "Electronic Payment" checkbox in Vendor Maintenance. The system will display the Electronic Payment Setup window where users can enter information that will be used during electronic payment file generation.
This version also provides the means to override a vendor’s electronic payment setting during a particular check run. Simply mark the "Use Check" checkbox when running the Print Computer Check function to print regular checks for vendors set up for ACH direct deposit. This checkbox is disabled and marked if payments to a vendor are always made by check. It is enabled and un-marked if payments to a vendor are to be processed electronically. With this feature, users need not change or lose the electronic payment information set up for a vendor whenever a regular check has to be printed.
View Customer Transactions Listing in Summary or Detail Format
Note: The following enhancement is only available in the Accounts Receivable (AR) and Contact Manager (CM) modules.
Users can view a list of customer transactions using the Customer Transactions Listing. In previous versions, the information contained in this report is detailed down to the line items, discounts, freight, taxes and adjustments which are displayed as individual transaction items. For an organization that issues a large number of invoices with each one composed of multiple line items, this report may provide more detail than the user actually needs.
In this version release, a new report called Customer Transactions Summary Listing has been added. This report is similar to the original Customer Transactions Listing with one major exception: each AR invoice is listed as one transaction record. Meanwhile, the original Customer Transactions Listing has been renamed Customer Transactions Detail Listing.
Ability to Suppress or Include Credits Applied from Sales Returns in the Payment Distribution Report
In previous versions, the Payment Distribution Report always lists the credits applied from sales returns and regular payments. Users could not generate this report showing just the amounts applied from regular customer payments. Also, they must manually add the amounts to determine the total credits applied solely from regular payments.
In this version release, users have the option to suppress credits applied from sales returns when generating this report. Mark the "Include App Credits from Sales Returns" checkbox to generate a report that shows both the applied payments and credits applied from sales returns. Unmark this checkbox to suppress the applied sales return details. With the ability to suppress applied credits from sales returns, users now have a report with which to validate distribution of regular payments.
Credits applied from sales returns are listed in this report with "APP CR" for their Receipt #. Regular payments are listed with the Receipt # assigned during the Apply Payment process.
Support Multiple GL Distribution Accounts in Bank Transactions
In this version, users can assign multiple default Reference Accounts to each Transaction Code set up for use in the Bank Reconciliation module. Transaction functions such as Record Deposits/Other Receipts, Record Checks/Other Disbursements, and Record Bank Transfers also allow users to set up GL distributions that may involve multiple reference accounts per transaction. Moreover, each transaction’s GL distribution can be changed from the default Reference Accounts set up in the Transaction Code.
New Option to Include GL Distribution in Bank Transaction Reports
To facilitate validation of journal entries generated for bank transactions, this version is enhanced to give users the option to view the GL distribution alongside the bank transaction details in certain reports. Mark the "Include GL Distribution" checkbox in the report criteria selection screen to show the GL Accounts used in transactions. Leave it unmarked to suppress this information.
This enhancement is available in the following Bank Transaction Reports: Unverified Receipt Report, Verified Receipt Report, Outstanding Disbursement Report, and Cancelled Disbursement Report.
Option to Set Check Format per Bank
In 2007, the Canadian Payments Association issued new check requirements for the purpose of implementing a new check processing system. AccountMate 7.1 for LAN is designed to help users meet this condition. Users who maintain bank accounts with financial institutions that have this requirement must set the Check Format to the Canadian option for the affected Bank Account Maintenance records. All other bank accounts that are not subject to this prerequisite must be set to the Standard Check Format.
Canadian users upgrading from a prior version are required to review each bank account record and change the Check Format to comply with each bank’s requirement.
Enhanced Payroll Module without the need to “Switch to Upgraded Payroll”
Users on AccountMate 6.5 for LAN (builds LN603 and LN604) need to go through the process of switching to Upgraded Payroll if they want to use the extensively enhanced Payroll module. In AccountMate 7.1 for LAN, users can utilize the enhanced Payroll module without the need to go through the switch process.
The enhanced Payroll system gives users greater flexibility in defining employee pay rates and allocating payroll costs among various cost centers. Users can now accrue, use, adjust and convert employee paid leave. The system supports the calculation of employer matching/contributions to employee deductions (e.g. 401K and other retirement funds) as well as the computation of worker’s compensation liability. It also supports direct deposit with the standard ACH format. Users can print MICR checks using the font that ships with the product; customize the order and information that prints on blank check stock; and maintain specimen signature files to facilitate check printing.
Support Unlimited User-Definable Tiers for Each Paid Leave Code
AccountMate’s enhanced Payroll system uses tier codes in the accrual of employee leave hours. In this version, the system allows users to create their own tier codes that can be comprised of any combination of numbers and/or letters not to exceed 10 characters.
To set up tier codes, right click the italicized Tier column heading in the Paid Leave Code Maintenance screen. This displays the Miscellaneous Maintenance window where users can create their own meaningful Leave Tier Codes. Be sure to set the codes to Active so that they can be assigned to Paid Leave Code records.
Enhancements to the Local Tax Feature
Local withholding taxes may be affected differently by certain types of deductions. Also, companies may prefer to separately account for each local tax liability. AccountMate 7.1 for LAN has been designed as follows to accommodate each company’s local tax feature requirements:
Configure
the Pre-tax Deduction Setting by Local Tax Code
Users can now configure pre-tax deductions separately for each local tax code.
To do this, select the applicable State Code in the State Taxes Reduction
tab of the Deduction Maintenance function. The system will display
in the Local Tax Code grid all the local tax codes set up for the
selected state. Mark the checkbox of each local tax code for which the taxable
gross amount is reduced by the deduction; otherwise, leave the checkbox
unmarked.
Support
Different Withholding Tax Liability Account per Local Tax Code
Users have the option to assign a different withholding tax payable GL Account
ID for each local tax code. This provides greater flexibility for companies
that prefer to monitor separately their liability to each local tax agency
while still accommodating the needs of other companies that wish to keep their
setup simple. Here’s how to use this feature:
1. To assign a distinct withholding tax liability account (different from the one set up in PR Module Setup) to a local tax code, mark the Overwrite Default checkbox in the Local Tax Code Maintenance screen of the affected local tax record; otherwise, leave this checkbox unmarked.
2. Enter in the Withholding Liability field the GL Account ID that should be used for the selected local tax code.
The system will use the GL Account ID in the Withholding Liability field for transactions involving local tax codes that use this feature. For all other local tax codes, the system will use the Local Withholding account in PR Module Setup.
Option to Print Regular Check for Employees Set Up for Electronic Payment
In previous versions, the Print Payroll Check function always generates an electronic payment file for employees set up for payroll direct deposit. If a check has to be cut for these employees, the user has to deactivate the "Electronic Payment" feature in the employee record thereby losing the employee’s direct deposit account information.
In this version release, the Print Payroll Check function comes with an override option in the form of a "Use Check" checkbox. This checkbox is disabled and marked for employees who are paid by regular check. It is enabled and un-marked for employees set up for direct deposit. Mark the checkbox to print a regular check and ignore the employee’s electronic payment setting. With this design, users need not change or lose the electronic payment information set up for an employee whenever a regular payroll check has to be printed.
Provide the Means to Regenerate ACH Files
Users may need to resend ACH files to their banks. If for some reason they cannot locate the ACH file, AccountMate 7.1 for LAN provides the means to recreate the file to meet this need. Simply select the bank and the check number range to include when regenerating the ACH file. This feature is currently available in the PR module only.
Option to Process Payroll Checks and Electronic Payments Separately
Companies that offer direct payroll deposit to their employees may opt to use regular paper in lieu of check forms when printing the direct deposit paychecks. Other companies may use a different check number series to distinguish direct deposits from regular payroll checks. In both cases, users may prefer to process the direct deposit payroll and the regular payroll checks in separate batches.
To accommodate this need, AccountMate 7.1 for LAN has been designed as follows:
· A new checkbox is added between the Electronic Payment and Use Check columns in the Print Payroll Check grid. Mark this checkbox to select the applied payroll transactions that are to be paid.
· A Process Direct Deposit checkbox is added beneath the Print Payroll Check grid. When this checkbox is marked, the applied payroll transactions of those employees who are set up for Electronic Payment will be selected for payment.
· A Process Printed Check checkbox is also added beneath the Print Payroll Check grid. When this checkbox is marked, the applied payroll transactions of those employees who are not set up for Electronic Payment will be selected for payment.
Customizable ACH Settings
AccountMate’s ACH feature supports these two formats: 1) Corporate Cash Disbursements (CCD) for business to business transactions, and 2) Prearranged Payments and Deposits (PPD) for payroll direct deposits.
The Electronic Payments Association (NACHA) has set guidelines on what data are required and optional for the two ACH file formats that AccountMate supports. Despite these guidelines, there are still some differences in the ACH file requirements set by different banks and financial institutions. To better address these bank-specific pre-requisites, we have designed the ACH feature as follows:
Configure
Optional ACH Fields for Each Bank Account
The Electronic Payments Association (NACHA) has provided guidelines that
specify the mandatory and optional data that will be included in a valid ACH file.
Since some banks are still using legacy systems to process direct deposit
transactions, some of the data fields that NACHA has deemed optional are
considered mandatory by these banks. To satisfy this need, this version allows
users to configure the optional fields that their banks require. In order to
simplify the setup process, all optional fields have been grouped together in
the new Optional Fields tab of the Electronic Payment (ACH) Setup
window that is accessed from the Bank Account Maintenance function.
To use an optional field, simply enter the required information in that field.
Provide
Interface for Users to Configure Debit Entry and Blocking Factor Records
In this version, users can set up a bank account to include the debit entry
record and/or blocking factor record in its ACH file. This is configured by marking
the Include Debit Entry Record checkbox or the Include Blocking
Factor Record checkbox in the Optional Fields tab to activate either
feature.
Use Company ID in Optional Fields
Some banks use the company ID to populate specific fields in the ACH file for which other banks would use the immediate origin. To give users the flexibility to comply with either requirement, we provide a Company ID input field in the Optional Fields tab of the Electronic Payment (ACH) Setup window. To configure the system to use the company ID to populate certain fields in the ACH file, fill in the Company ID field; otherwise, leave it blank. If supplied, the Company ID will be used to populate the following fields in the ACH file:
· Field 5 of the Batch Header Record
· Field 6 of the Debit Entry Record
· Field 7 of the Batch Control Record
Support EEO-4 Reporting
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission collects data using a number of surveys. Previous AccountMate versions only support one survey type, which is the EEO-1 Report (a.k.a. Employer Information Report). In this version release, we have added one more type to the list of supported surveys. The EEO-4 Report (a.k.a. State and Local Government Report) is a survey collected from state and local governments. Participants of this survey are required to use a different set of EEO Class and Ethnic Code options than those who use the EEO-1 Report.
AccountMate 7.1 for LAN users who are subject to the EEO-4 survey must mark the State/Local Government checkbox of the EEO Reporting section in the PR Module Setup\General (2) tab to activate this feature. Users upgrading from a prior version must also review the Ethnic Codes and EEO Classes assigned to their employee records. Finally, they must use the EEO-4 Employment Data Report in lieu of the EEO-1 Employment Data Report.
AccountMate for LAN Upgrades Handled by Standard Conversion Program
To simplify the upgrade process and the download of conversion programs, we have merged the AccountMate 7.1 for LAN upgrade scripts with the standard utility we provide for AccountMate 7 for SQL and Express conversions. Remember to read the updated instructions before using the new data conversion program. Not only has the user interface changed; a number of enhancements have also been added to the new data conversion program.
Modified File Name for Patch Lists
We have revised the file naming convention for the patch list file (i.e. Patches.txt). To facilitate identification of the patch list file installed in the system, the AccountMate build number will form part of the file name. For example, the patch list for AccountMate 7.1 for LAN will bear the name Patches_LN701.txt.
