Version 5.2.08 changes - July 2015:

Fixes:
Accounting, AT Schedul
e: 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.
E-mailing invoices/quotes in bulk, using RTF as attachment format: fix error that prevented binding to specific document in some instance; set print date after bulk mailing.
5.2.08.1 minor fix:
Canada only
Canadian tax reports were corrected and updated.
5.2.08.2 minor fixes:
Australia only: BAS entry showed incorrect total when an asset had been purchased during reporting month
Contacts menu - Write dropdown: Where used, Due date was not correctly written for invoices
                          Credit manager: there is now a stop button for period 2 as well as periods 3 and 4
Invoice menu - when reversing a credit with CR button a wrong stock count was recorded.
5.2.08.3 minor fix (Sep 2015):
Job Reports - a new report is added "Job Activity by Staff". Select by date range, with subtotals by job. It complements the existing activity report by Job.
Receipt - auto invoice message has been removed
General Purchase entry - an error occurred when field 'Details' was left blank. A warning message now appears when you enter the net cost, but if still left blank, this is now also accepted.

Version 5.2.07 changes - August 2014:
upgrading from older versions available.

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.

Version 5.2.06 changes - March 2014:
upgrading from older versions available.

New Feature:
Pick List - keep open switch (allows selections without closing picklist) - on menus Purchasing, Quotes, Invoices, AutoInvoices
Fixes:
Receipt-based Tax report (US/Canada): remove tax from net total to avoid duplications
Canada only: when adding products with Code dropdown, all taxes were applied sometimes (not just those the customer is set to)
Invoice: line below taxes did not show
Invoices Report screen: Summary by Invoice and Summary by Invoice Due Date produced error 3079
Stock control: when Line Sort was showing, program did not update stock when selecting new items with code dropdown. Line Sort has been turned off during this action.
Accounting Reports - P&L: issue with date separator other than (.) has been fixed.
Stock | Inventory screen had two functions accidentally turned off: 
           checks if product ID exists. If yes prompt to open it. 
           New product entry: when entering a new product ID and stock control is on, sets count date to 'yesterday'.
___________________________________
5.2.06.1 (May 2014) minor fixes:
Statements e-mailed in bulk, using RTF attachment - a bug meant that statements did not show a single customer, but all. Fixed.
Contact entry: before saving new entry, program checks if name already exists. If yes, prompts to open it. 
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. Because of a bug, the wrong total was used, which caused a flow-on error when making part-payments of a P/O.
Fixed balance update issue with P/Os
Document links from Contacts menu are now sorted descending 
   (for example, Invoices listing shows latest invoice on top).
5.2.06.3 (August 2014) minor fix:
on Purchasing menu, the General Purchases function (Accounts Payable) couldn't start when there are no previous entries.

Stretch: program shows errors relating to the stretch function, where screen resolution width is greater than 1600 pixels. New user adjustment provided on Setup p.4 - #2, which sets a maximum stretch factor. Also now turns stretch off on initial start-up if width >1600
Auto Scheduler: an error occurred when program checked for appointment clashes and person had no previous appointments. Clash check has been turned off for auto scheduling since it required too many assumptions when trying to avoid clashes.
US/Canada - on startup, program would reset country on Setup p.1, thereby losing the State/Province settings
Settings import (Setup p.6): error prevented import
fixed in v. 5.2.05.2: e-mailing invoices/quotes in RTF format did not lock single document (12/2013)

Contract Confirmation
: tax label was left-aligned and has been aligned with other sub headers.
Receipt: print error #2450 when there was no Print date
Offset: click on check box did not work immediately when only a single entry was displayed, only on second attempt.

Quotation to Contract
   New: you can now convert quotes directly to auto invoicing. It copies the items from quote to contracts and establishes the billing sequences from input data you provide on the fly.
Invoice
   Fix: the label button caused the printer selector to hang, so shipping labels could not be produced.
   New: you can now enter payment receipts, even if the invoice is already paid in full (overpayments by customers). If locks are switched on (Setup p.4 #21), an overpaid invoice will be locked and identified as such.
Reports

Permissions
   Fix: plugged a loophole to prevent access to locked menus from Startup guide page (network licenses only).
Time Billing
   Fix: overnight shifts now calculate properly (where start is before midnight and end is after midnight)

Version 5.1.04 changes - Jan 2008:

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.
