Fixes: Accounting, AT Schedule: automatic transactions are extended up to 1 year ahead when 'auto-extend' is checked. This happens when you click on Accounting menu icon. NZ GST return: supplier refunds did not appear in Box 11 (Expenditure) and affected the GST calculations in Box 12. Contacts menu - Get in touch: when deleting an entry under "Number|Details" (like a phone number) and leaving it blank, an error occurred. Charges menu and its Find List now show item codes that were not assigned to Products nor Charges. Use move button to assign it to Products.

NZL/AUS/GBR Tax reports are set to specific type, as per Setup p.1 - when you change the default type for these countries, the tax report dialog will open for the alternate version. Previously this was ignored. Example: NZL and AUS tax reports where set to 'Receipts'. When changed to be based on 'Invoices' the general tax report dialog opens (instead of the pop-up reports). This gives greater flexibility. GBR VAT tax reports defaulted to 'Invoices' and you can now also apply receipts-based reporting. NZL/AUS GST detail reports have a new layout to make finding entry errors easier (sub totals by ledger and column layout that matches the summary reports). Both are now formatted to A4 portrait. Invoices CR button did not handle credit reversals of stock [inventory] correctly. This has been addressed. Applies to clicking on the CR button from a Credit. NEW: Accounting when applying customer refund of a sale, or applying a refund from a supplier you should make a reverse entry. For example, sales are entered in 'Deposit' column. A refund should go in the same column (select 'DEP' from Type dropdown), but as a negative amount. Likewise, an expense is entered in "Payment" column as a negative amount. A refund from a supplier should go in the same column (select 'PAY' from Type dropdown), but as positive amount. Neither was possible under the previous system and had to be entered in the opposing column because amounts could not be changed from positive to negative and vice-versa. Now you can double-click Payment or Deposit amounts and reverse them (after you confirm a prompt). 5.2.07.1 (September 2014) minor fix: Task Manager: a bug prevented setting new tasks which has now been corrected. Kits: we have added the ability to add non-stock items (like labour, packing, etc.). For instant kits (available from Invoices - Pick List - Make Kit), we also added the option of selecting an existing kit. 5.2.07.2 (January 2015) minor fix: Setup p.3: P/O columns can't be adjusted, so the corresponding controls are now disabled. 5.2.07.3 (February 2015) minor fix: Statement: An earlier fix to correct Total Balance was accidentally not transferred to the latest version.

Changed web links to new website invoiceit.com 5.2.06.2 (July 2014) minor fixes: receiving P/Os: when this is confirmed, the total is transferred to Accounts Payable.

Minor bug fix to correct some anomalies, like some of the report writer screens producing errors, automatic transaction causing double-up when extending, missing zip code in address of purchase order, and fixing a bug on the To Do Page, which prevented saving some messages; some cosmetic changes to a few of the input forms. Sample data have had some product pictures added (check the CDs) and dates have been updated.

New feature: US County Tax option. This enables users in the United States to automatically set taxes based on the client's county or other tax authority. It also provides reports on taxes collected or taxes charged, by county. This feature is available for a small extra charge but cannot presently be tested in the trial version. It is explained in detail here.
Bugfixes: as with all major new releases a few bugs are probably inevitable despite extensive testing, but we think most of these have now been found and fixed. Among those were Job numbering, adding new inventory, auto-numbering of invoices if 6 digits or more and other minor issues. 5.1.04.1 - fix for document numbering issue (when turned off it would not turn back on); on P/O product update screen added missing function to auto-calculate prices; added: new product entry from purchase order (on the fly). As on invoice and quote, type a new product with code and after a prompt will allow saving that product.
