Features

In this section you'll find details of new features we've added to the platform that we think you will find interesting.

Invoice Processing

By default, when an invoice is 'paid' by the Invoice Processing module, the ledger date in the General Ledger is set to the date the transaction was processed by the system.

A new setting has been added to allow you to set the ledger date for the payment to the 'Due Date' of the invoice rather than the date it was processed. Use the new settings screen for 'Invoice Processing' to activate this function.

Improvements

In this section you'll find details of improvements we've made to existing parts of the system. These are usually smaller changes than those listed in the above 'features' section (however some of them might be very useful).

Master CID

Four more functions were enhanced to support the Master CID configuration, these are:

• Insurance report
• Owner Details screen
• Annual budget report
• Interim Levies screen

We also enhanced the main dashboard on Master CID's to list the child CID's that it is connected to.

The 'Master CID' function allows you to have more than one Urbanise Strata 'Client ID' ('CID') that can be connected in a hierarchy. This is useful for business that have multiple offices, or central processing facilities.

Task List

Two new columns have been added to the task list screen for 'Task ID' and 'Linked?'. The linked column helps you understand if a specific task is linked to other tasks.

Other Improvements

• [PHX-5432] - Public Strata API: Duplicate check for 'bank transactions' when using the API
• [PHX-5741] - DebtCol: Case lodgement fee journal limited to 40 characters
• [PHX-5590] - DebtCol: Check to see if a unit is still in debt before triggering the 'case' API call
• [PHX-5556] - Invoice Processing: A new dedicated 'Settings' screen for the Invoice Processing module
