WINPACCS Accounting 4

Bug fixes

• With very many fixed assets it could happen that the booking overview was not loaded. This has now been fixed. In addition, the loading time has been optimised.
• With certain hardware configurations with certain SSDs, it could happen under Windows 11 that the application could not be started. This has now been fixed.
• When using a lot of projects, it could happen that in very rare cases the login did not work. This has now been fixed.

Bug fixes

• Previously, it was possible to correctly select an account that could only post to external projects due to the project type, but a check prevented the actual posting. This has now been rectified. An account can now be posted to correctly, if it is postable for the project type of the external project (but not for the project type of your own project).

New features

• The new Inventory number field has been integrated into the Posting overview, the posting screen and other affected areas. The Asset number or the Inventory number is used as the leading number, depending on your Organisational settings.
• The adjustments in the Main and Project chart of accounts regarding postability in your own and external projects have been adopted in Accounting.
• In Accounting, the new accounts of the Balance (assets) account class are now taken into account in the posting screen and all other areas.
• In the template group, the Comment on the posting can now also be changed for all the posting templates. In particular, a substitute variable has been introduced that makes it possible to enter the voucher number of the first posting in the template group in all the comments.
• The Project without Project accounting feature has been removed from the Project properties.
• Microsoft’s WebView2 component is now used for displaying PDFs in the Digital vouchers view instead of the Telerik component. This corrects some errors that occurred when displaying PDFs. The JPXDecode is not supported error should no longer occur. The displaying of PDFs created with certain Konica Minolta scanners is now possible without errors and a few other problems should no longer occur.
• In the Projects menu, the Projects without accounting tab is no longer available.
• A new message indicates that reversals with correction postings of postings which were entered with transaction category 12 Netting of unsettled items or the transaction type Balancing of payables without average rate recalculation are prevented.

Bug fixes

• A small optimisation has been performed in the field control of the Report type field in the configuration of the Costs and income and Balance list reports.
• An error message is now shown if the value in the from field is greater than the value in the to field for the reporting period in the report configuration.
• In the posting templates the button for the average rate did not have a function, it now shows a fitting info message.
• Technical safeguards have been integrated to prevent rare errors when reversing postings using transaction category 11.
• In the menu bar, the email address of the logged-in user is now also displayed correctly with the “_” character.
• During module registration, the Country field is now preassigned with <no selection>, unless a module registration has already been performed on the PC, in which case the country is preassigned accordingly.
• If you switch to the Unsettled items overview directly after starting Accounting and open the detailed view of an unsettled item, the Edit button is now active and available.
• If filters are set in a table column and this column is then hidden, the set filters are now correctly noted in the printout.

• When adding digital vouchers, PDF files with 0 byte are no longer allowed.
• In the online Help, the chapter on Reports has been removed from the chapter structure because it was empty.
• In the Voucher batch overview, if you switched from the Current tab to the Done tab, the latest entry was always automatically preselected and displayed at the end of the table. The latest entry is now shown at the top of the table.
• In the Costs and Income report, the With Budget Structure report type can now also be used if there is only one budget structure in the project.
• Certain PC-settings caused the info message which referred to the project list to slip in the Projects menu. This has been corrected.
• When revaluations were performed a special case sometimes occurred. If the CC and VC had different + / - signs, errors could occur during the debiting and crediting, so that the balance on the balance account was incorrect and thus also the totals in the balance report. This has now been corrected.
• If the Invoice date was not filled in for a posting, the table displayed the value 01.01.1900 in the Invoice date column. The column now remains empty if the field is not filled in.
• The storage of exchange data of digital vouchers has been further outsourced to the SQLite database in order to avoid the limitations of the SQL Express database.
• In the Digital vouchers view in a posting, PDF documents that have just been updated and added from WINPACCS Cloud are now displayed correctly.
• The performance and memory usage when generating the Unsettled items report has been improved so that the report can now be generated even with a very large number of unsettled items.

• An attachment to a closing is now correctly translated in English as Attachment.

Bug fixes

New features

• A warning appears if the next attachment to the closing exceeds the limit specified in the Cloud.

• To minimise errors in supplies of funds, which would lead to high average rate deviations, accountants must now confirm the amounts.
• Archived projects can no longer be selected in transaction categories 1.3, 2.2 and 2.3. In addition, warnings appear when closings are performed.
• A reason must be entered when reversals or repostings are performed; this is saved in the Comment on the posting field. This comment is then also shown on the computer-generated voucher.
• Various third-party components have been updated. In addition, the .NET Framework has also been updated from version 4.7 to 4.8.

• When a partial posting is deleted from the splittings of a posting, the splitting numbers are immediately renumbered correctly.
• In the different table views, the number of data entries per page is now also saved.
• A check to see if there are different donors for fundings is now also performed for transaction categories 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4.
• Under certain circumstances it could occur that cancelling a posting resulted in an error. This was the case with postings in which an unsettled item was cleared and a splitting was posted at the same time. A similar problem occurred with transaction category 11. This problem has now been corrected.
• The splitting mask has been adjusted so that the Unsettled item field is now also displayed. In addition, the Unsettled item field is now also correctly displayed as Split for a reverse posting of transaction category 7.

• In the Individual posting report, the Average rate of the position field has been renamed to Average rate voucher position.
• Windows 11 only allowed a maximum of 4-digit amounts to be entered with the French formatting setting. This was due to the space character being used as a thousand separator. This has now been corrected.

Bug fixes

• The performance for opening the posting view has been optimised. Loading the posting view now requires less loading time in certain situations.
• When PDF documents were scanned with HP Smart software, an error message appeared when displaying the preview in Accounting and Cashbook. The preview is now displayed correctly.
• If a closing had not yet been performed in a journal, the journal backup did not contain any digital vouchers. This is now working.

Bug fixes

Now it is displayed as an additional tab for screen widths with less than 1440 pixels. The additional window to the right of the Enter voucher and Display voucher windows is only shown when the resolution exceeds 1440 pixels.
• The standard sorting in the overview of Day-end and month-end closings has been adjusted so that the chronological order is retained, even for rejected closings.
• Further table columns have been added to the overview of Month-end closings, so that it is now the same as the overview of Day-end closings.
• In the Post voucher window in French and Spanish, the Digital vouchers button has been moved to a small, additional fold-out menu. The long button labels have now been shortened, so that the Digital vouchers button is visible.

  deactivated in the journal category.

If an Internet connection is available, the project data is updated. Journal transfer data is added to pending uploads.
