What's New on the latest Reckon Accounts Hosted - NZ

The latest Reckon Accounts Business Range has been released and is now available for both Desktop and Hosted users in Australia and New Zealand.

The latest Reckon Accounts introduces exciting new features, bug fixes, and enhancements based on customer feedback.


New features

Allow to filter Customer Statements by Terms

A new Customer Terms dropdown is added to the Create Statements window.

This dropdown will display all available terms from the Terms List. When a term is selected, only customers matching the selected condition will be included in the Preview, Print, or Email process.


Add "Export All" button to IIF Export

A new "Export All Lists" button is added to the IIF Export feature, allowing users to quickly select and export all lists.

When clicked, it will opens the file explorer for you to save the file that contains all the list selections. This enhancement will streamline the export process instead of selecting each list individually.


Broadcast messaging

A new "lightweight" informational messaging capability has been introduced in-product.

This feature allows us to reach users with updates, news, important legislative changes, and other key announcements.

Messages will be displayed to each user. While the dialogue can be dismissed, it will reappear when the company file is reopened until “Do not display this message in the future” is selected.

Please note that any new messages will automatically display, so you won’t miss important updates.



Resolved bugs

In a multi-currency enabled file, previewing the adjustment note shows overlapping text in the "Payments/Credits" and "Balance Credit" fields, affecting both available templates (Custom Adjustment Note and Return Receipt).

Files without multi-currency enabled are not affected. The issue has been resolved by deleting the overlapping fields and updating the templates.


Unrecoverable Error when duplicating invoice to Sales Order with insufficient stock

An unrecoverable error occurs when duplicating an invoice created from a sales order with no quantity on hand. This impacts workflows involving stock management, particularly when invoicing out-of-stock items and generating sales orders. This has been resolved by introducing a dialogue so that the process should proceed without crashes, ensuring consistent inventory warnings.


Incorrect ‘Created On’ Date in Audit Company File

Fixed an issue where the ‘Created on’ date in the Audit Company File dialog was incorrectly displayed. Previously, this field showed the ‘Last modified on’ date instead of the actual file creation date. The ‘Created on’ date will now correctly reflect when the company file was first created.


QBWIN.log in does not show Duplicate Elements

Fixed an issue where the verify_rebuild_data.log (qbwin.log) in Hosted did not display duplicate elements for the same company file, unlike in Desktop. Now, the Verify and Rebuild Data logs in Hosted will correctly display duplicate ID test results, ensuring consistency with Desktop.

Hide Inactive items in Adjust Quantity/Value on Hand

Inactive items currently appear in the Adjust Quantity/Value on Hand window. This update will ensure inactive items are hidden, simplifying inventory adjustments and reducing clutter.

Removed the Unit of Measure for Group type item

The U/M Set field for the Unit of Measure in a Group type item is not retained after saving. This field has not functioned since 2018 and has now been removed.


BCC Line added to ‘Select Forms To Send’ preview pane

Updated the ‘Select Forms To Send’ window to include a BCC line in the preview pane, displayed below the CC field. The BCC value is now pulled from the Send Forms Preferences based on the selected email type.


Updated Clean Up data messaging to be more clear

The Clean Up Company Data feature in Reckon Accounts creates an archived copy of the company data file and/or cleans up data by removing transactions, replacing them with monthly summary journal entries, or simply removing all transactions.

While reducing file size is a result of using this feature, it is not the primary intention.

To clarify this process, we have introduced a dialogue that appears when the feature is selected. We have also hidden the option for non-accountant editions.


The ‘Suggest New Feature’ option from the Help menu, now directs users to the Reckon Community Ideas page: https://community.reckon.com/categories/reckonaccountsideas.
