Transaction Lock date
You can now prevent other users from posting into a date which you have considered to be "closed". Being able to prevent postings being made before a given date will reduce the number of errors made when posting transactions, particularly following a month end or year end
Quick Search
The ability to conduct a quick search within a list
Separate Line for Corporation Tax on your P & L Reports
Financial reports have been updated to detail profit before and after tax, through the introduction of a Taxation category in the Chart of Accounts layout
Quick Print using Default Layouts
Due to the user being able to set a default layout and utilise quick print functionality, efficiency will significantly increase.
