21st Century Accounting Revision 2.5 Issues
Problems Fixed in Version 2.5.2

  • General Ledger/Configure/Chart of Accounts. The program allowed duplicate account IDs to be added to the chart of accounts, which might change the account category of an existing account. This could lead to unbalanced financial reports, if the account changed (for example) from an income statement to a balance sheet category. The program now prevents duplicate IDs from being entered.

  • Sales Invoice Batch Listings. Some company configurations caused an error when printing a sales invoice batch listing. The report now prints correctly in all situations.
  • Report Page Footers. Some reports that print a G/L account summary as the last page were not printing page footers on the last two pages of the report. The reports have been fixed to properly print page footers.
  • Error Message. An unnecessary warning was being placed in the error log, regarding the fact that "pr::PR941::Verify" was not auto-loadable. This message is no longer generated.
  • Bank Accounts/Configure/Bank Accounts. If leading zeroes were entered for starting check number or starting deposit number, an error message of "x of y entries did not post" might occur when saving changes. The program now correctly deals with leading zeroes.
  • Bank Accounts/Deposits. If a comment from a prompt line is different from the name of the G/L account involved, the program will now save that comment in the file for later reporting purposes (per customer request).

  • Payroll/Print/Custom Pay Summary. When a lastname column definition is used, the lastname column formats properly in the report.

Problems Fixed in Version 2.5.1

  • Payroll/Print/Remittance Checks. Corrects a problem with a disabled "Post batch" button. If the remittance check batch had an unbalanced entry, correcting the balance did not properly enable the "Post" button. The button is now properly enabled when the batch is postable.
  • Payroll/Print/Payroll Register. On some printers, check date and pay period fields were truncated. The full date and pay period should now show properly.
  • System/Company/Verify. On some older installations, the "Verify payroll voided check numbers" test could cause a problem with the Pervasive database engine, potentially hanging the engine and also the accounting system. No data damage is caused by this problem. A fix has been added to ensure that the verify program runs properly with older versions of the database engine.
  • General Ledger/Print/Custom Journal. In some situations, Print Custom Journal commands were grayed out and unusable. The commands should now be available for use when not specifically excluded by access control restrictions.

Enhancements in Version 2.5.0

  • New Command: Print Queue. You can use the new "Print Queue" function on the System menu when you need to print a lot of reports — at the end of the month, for example. Place the reports in a queue and then execute the queue when you're ready to print — when you leave for the day, for example.

  • Payroll now displays Accrual Balance in Calculate and ATF Payroll. Vacation and sick balances (hours available) are now displayed for your information (at "Balance" below "Hours paid") in the Calculate and ATF Payroll windows.

  • Payroll now will departmentalize expenses only. When you departmentalize Payroll by G/L account segment, options let you post only pay factor expenses to departmental accounts or post both expenses and liabilities to departmental accounts.

  • Payroll checks now suppress leading characters of SSN for privacy.

  • General Ledger Activity Report. A new report selection option for printing the G/L activity report allows you to print G/L accounts with no activity (zero balance accounts).

  • Payables Quick Checks. The vendor Invoice Description now prints on the checks produced by Payables Quick Checks.

  • Payables Vendor Invoices. When you create a credit or debit memo-type invoice for a vendor, you can tag the invoice "Record on 1099." The credit or debit memo will be reflected in the vendor's 1099 records when the transaction is completed.

  • Data Conversion.
    • The data conversion from BPI Accounting can now deduce a "good" payroll year when there are no paychecks in the current year at the time of conversion so that the conversion can proceed.
    • The data conversion from BPI Accounting now converts Receivables and Payables Default Prompts with names based on the first G/L account in the prompt set, rather than using arbitrary names such as "1 AP Prompt," "2 AP Prompt," and so forth.

  • New Customization Option for Sales Invoices and Sales Orders. (Requires Report Customizer) You can now suppress amounts for zero-value line items on Sales Invoices and Sales Orders

  • New Customization Options for Receivables Plain Paper Laser Statements. (Requires Report Customizer)
    • Second copies of several fields are now available for printing on statements. Use the Customizer "Restore" function on the right-click menu to see which fields are available and to place the additional information on statements.
    • Now you can suppress the lines around aging buckets (as well as the values in the aging buckets) at the bottom of statements.

  • The Employee List now shows 4-digit year dates correctly.

  • The Quarterly Wage Statement now totals correctly when the report is longer than one page.
