Improvements Introduced

Negative Knock Off Payment column in Payment Voucher

In the previous versions of AutoCount Accounting, if there is a negative amount in the detail portion of the Payment Voucher, the ledger double entry for those negative amount will be against the positive amount rows in the detail grid. This behavior can be seen in the images below.

In this version of AutoCount Accounting, we have included a new field called Negative KO (short for Knock Off) Payment. This column, accessible via the detail column chooser allows user to specify that the double entry for those negative amounts be against the payment amount instead of the previous example. This behavior can be seen in the images below.

Preview and Print in GST Instant Info

The Preview and Print buttons is now available to allow users to preview or print any of the following report at the GST Instant Info screen:

1. Bad Debt Recovery
2. Bad Debt Relief
3. CN DN List
4. Purchase Listing by Tax Code
5. Supply Listing by Tax Code
6. Tax Summary
7. Tax Summary All in One

Realized Gain Loss with negative amount will be set to 0 in GST submission

In accordance to the amendment that was reported for the Reporting of Realized Foreign Exchange Gains/Losses, in this version of AutoCount Accounting, if the Realized Gain Loss amount is negative, the Section C 12 of the GST-03 form will now be set to 0 instead of the previous behavior which was the amount without the negative sign.

Enhancement to Bad Debt Relief and Bad Debt Recovery

Several enhancement and modification has been introduced for the Bad Debt Relief and Bad Debt Recovery functions.
The modification is that the Manage AR Bad Debt and Manage AP Bad Debt windows can no longer be used to manage their Bad Debt Relief and Bad Debt Recovery. As such users can only manage them in the GST Processor wizard. This is done to protect the document flow as well as avoid the situation in which a Bad Debt Relief is created with the Bad Debt Recovery in the same period. This means that the Manage AR Bad Debt and Manage AP Bad Debt windows is now only used as a display to show the status of the Bad Debt.

Secondly, an enhancement is introduced in which a user would be able to filter which documents they wish to manage the bad debt. A standard filter can be used to for example, filter and show out only a single debtor. The user can also create complex filters to fulfill their requirements in filtering out the documents they wish to process.

With the addition of the previous enhancement, another enhancement is also done to the selection mechanism in the GST Processor Wizard when doing Manage A/R or A/P Bad Debt Relief. The enhancement allow user to multi-select entries to either Create Bad Debt Relief or Create Bad Debt with Bad Debt Relief. It also allows user, when applying a filter, to only select those under the filter without selecting any other of entries that is not under filter when using the Check All button. The reverse is also true for the UnCheck All button as any entries filtered can be unchecked without influencing the other checked entries.

Another enhancement introduced is the addition of a new tab in the A/R and A/P Invoice Entry that shows the Bad Debt Relief as well as Bad Debt Recovery information. When a document has done its Bad Debt Relief, the new tab will appear and allow users to directly view the Journal Entry from the A/R or A/P document itself. The Bad Debt Recovery history is displayed below the button to view the Journal Entry in grid form as the Bad Debt Recovery can be done in multiple documents and as such the information is shown in this manner to allow user a complete overview of its Bad Debt Recovery history.

The last enhancement implemented is the Bad Debt Type column in both the A/R Receive Payment and A/P Payment entry screen. This column is implemented to allow user to see the Bad Debt status of the document that is being knocked off.

New module: Filter By Account

A new module is introduced in this version of AutoCount Accounting. The module, Filter By Account has the functionality that allows the account book administrators to limit the visibility of certain accounts to a normal user. For example, an account book administrator wished for user A to help in doing multiple data entries in the Cash Book but could not do so as certain accounts such as Salaries is visible to user A when they work on the Cash Book. With the use of the Filter By Account module, the account book administrator could just exclude the Salaries account for the user, and the user can no longer see the account when doing data entries. The Filter By Account module currently works on the Cash Book, Journal Entry, Bank Reconciliation, Ledger Report, Journal of Transaction report and Multi-Dimensional Ledger report. It may be expanded to cover in more functions when there is a reason to do it.

To use the Filter By Account function, after purchasing the module and activating it, go to the User Maintenance, select which user to apply the account excluding function and enable as well as set the accounts to be excluded.

When the user has re-log, he or she will no longer be able to see the account excluded in any of the look up in the mentioned functions above.
