Office - Release Notes

Enhancements

Accounts Payable, Employees, Membership, and Guests - Custom Fields

• Improved rendering of Custom Field controls in the Vendor/Employee/Member/Guest -> Custom Fields node.

  Use Case:  Previously, the custom fields node displays in these various modules were inconsistent, and depending on field length, would wrap causing misalignment of the fields.  This update improves the viewability and consistency with which these fields display.

Manage Price Schedules

• Added the ability to link a Price Schedule Discount to a POS Reason Code in order to override the discount ledger.

  Use Case:  Previously, the G/L code on a Price Schedule could not be overridden.  Now, link a Price Schedule to a Reason Code, to have G/L account overridden for the price schedule.

  

  
  

Inventory Count Wizard

• Added click and drag support to the Inventory Count Wizard grid.
  

  Use Case:  Previously, the grids within the Inventory Count Wizard did not support drag and drop features.  Now, easily rearrange/reorder columns by clicking on the header, and dragging to desired location.

  
  

Membership

Approve Charge Batches

• Added a "Has Private Note" column option to the Invoice Detail view on the Approve Batches Grid.

Use Case:  Previously, the “Has Private Note” details were not easily visible when viewing the Approve Charge Batches grid.  Now, easily identify and view batches with Has Private Note.  If Has Private Note column is not visible, remember to right-click on grid, select Customize Columns, and move Has Private Note column into grid for viewing.

Billing Schedules

• Added support for Deferred Dues Billing to Billing Schedules.

  Use Case:  Previously, Revenue that had to be deferred over a future period (like annual billings) needed manual Journal Entries to allocate the revenue properly.  With this new powerful feature, indicate that the billing is a Deferred Dues Billing, and associate a Liability account with the deferral on the new Deferral tab.  The system will then auto-generate batches for each of the periods needing to have revenue allocated, and the liability relieved properly.  To learn more, click here.

  Pre-Bill Example: For $12,000 Annual Dues billed in December 2017 to be recognized January - December 2018, indicate pre-bill with a start month of January.  Use Billing Item tied to Dues Income.  December Entry would be full amount ($12,000) in Dec 31 2017 to AR/Deferred Dues(Liability Account). Jan - Dec 2018 monthly entries for $1,000 Deferred Dues(Liability Account)/Dues Income.

  Regular Example: For $12,000 Annual Dues billed in January 2018 to be recognized January - December 2018, indicate start month of January, but NOT pre-bill.  Use Billing Item tied to Dues Income.  Jan 2018 entry would be $11,000 Deferred Dues(Liability Account) + $1,000 Dues Income / $12,000 AR.  Feb - Dec 2018 entries would be $1,000 Deferred Dues(Liability Account)/Dues Income.

  
  

  
  

   

Credit Book Expiration/Gift Card Expiration Wizards

• Added support for sorting and filtering on the Credit Book and Gift Card Expiration Wizards.
  
  Use Case:  Previously, the Credit Book and Gift Card Expiration Wizards grids did not have these features, and therefore did not allow for easy searching/filtering.  Now, easily target the specific records you need utilizing these new sorting and filtering features in the wizards.
  
  
  
  
  
  

POS - Shift 4 - Tab Processing

• Added support for Charging Tabs in POS with Shift4.
