Expanded and new fields for each account. Optional fields (3 strings, 2 dates, 2 amounts 2 units), two account description lines, (optional) statistical units, normal account sign (debit/credit/both) and account sub-type (Cash, Accounts Receivables, Other current asset, etc). Posted transactions now contain two 40 character description lines, and all necessary details to locate the source transaction in a subsidiary ledger.

Budgets and Forecasts (2 separate buckets with security), allow annual budgets to be "frozen", and then a second set can be used to make any necessary adjustments during the year. Forecast and budget figures for a new year can be entered or imported before the current year is closed. Data entry of budgets and forecasts has been significantly improved.

"Soft" Year End. Open your next fiscal year to receive transactions as soon as they occur, without having to close your current year. Retrieved transactions from subsidiary ledgers will be automatically assigned to the correct fiscal period (when retrieving to the period based on the date of the transaction). Batches and posting sequences for the new year begin at 1. You can post transactions to the current or prior year, or to the current and next year when the new year has been opened. Transactions posted to the prior year can be posted to fiscal period 14 to leave prior period comparatives unchanged. Closing a year does not delete the detailed transactions, so a general ledger detailed listing can be printed for any year and or period for which transactions exist.

Multiple Years of History including transactions and budgets are now supported. Closing a year does not clear the transactions for the year being closed. Detail transactions are available for drill down in the financial reporter, and G/L detail listings can be printed for prior years. Prior years can be retrieved from backups of Adagio Ledger or ACCPAC® PlusT databases. Once prior year data is retrieved, it is not included in further integrity checks done in Adagio Ledger V9.0A.

View GL Entry displays all transactions that made up an entry (unless consolidated). View Account Transactions has Debit and Credit columns instead of one column with positive and negative amounts. An Amount field is also available in Column Editor and GridView if you do not want to separate debit and credits.

User and date stamp fields have been added on batch entries. Use the Column Editor to select the 'Date Edited' and 'User Edited' fields.

Inactive accounts can be hidden on grids and Finders.

Ready to Post indicator on batches. Selecting a range of batches to Post will skip those with this indicator set "off". Company profile options control the default setting for this flag when batches are created. You cannot post an out of balance batch regardless of the setting of this flag.
And within the Financial Reporter...

Multi-year comparative statements are now supported. A maximum of 9 prior year's figures can be referenced by placing {n} in front of the desired code (where n is the year needed). For example, M is the current period, {1}M is the same period 1 year ago, {2} is the same period 2 years ago, and so on up to {9}M.

A fiscal year drop-down is available to print amounts based on a different year.

A 'column page break' has been added to force page breaks by columns, just like by rows. Use Ctrl L to set the column page break.

Drag and drop automatically freezes rows, so the new form repeats those rows at the top of each printed page.

Financial Reporter can save specifications as Templates, which can be used to create new specs. Template preview thumbnails are shown when opening templates. (A JPEG preview of spec also saved with Template).
And these improvements were made in earlier releases...

Compatible with Windows Vista and Adagio Lanpaks V8.1A. All Adagio downloads are now signed with a Verisign digital certificate, and Help files are now "CHM" format and installed on the local workstation. Alt-tab displays the Adagio screen, rather than the Adagio module Icon when switching between tasks under Vista.

SmartFinder can now search on multiple criteria. Select up to five separate rules using "AND", "OR", "AND NOT" and "OR NOT" conjunctions between rules. Use SmartFinder to easily create mailing lists and simple reports. Sending a SmartFinder result list to Excel has been improved, with better formatting of dates and numbers.

Screen displays have been made easier to read, with the font changed to Tahoma and disabled text displayed in blue.

WebSafe integration under File | Backup allows secure, offsite, automatic backup of your accounting data to the web, (optionally) each time a backup is made. Full details about WebSafe can be found here.

Better control of pagination is available by allowing page breaks to be specified on a column basis for multi-column statements.

New functions =GLFPSD() and GLFPED() have been added. These allow the fiscal period starting and ending dates to be returned as date (rather than string) values. Additionally, =GLFPS() and =GLFPE() now take an optional second parameter to format the date according to different rules that the default in View | Customize. The formatting rules are the same as for the =DATESTRING() function.

A new .ColSpec feature allows you to import statements from Excel and more quickly and easily format them for auto-updating in the Financial Reporter. The .ColSpec feature works by creating a financial statement using the drag-and-drop from the Accounts Group tree and selecting the .ColSpec SmartSheet option.This command automatically results in a "hide when printed" row onto which "Account Data" specifiers (e.g. "M", "Y", "BAL", etc) may be placed. The Account Data Specifiers control what values are returned by some new new functions.

New functions have been added for use with the .ColSpec feature.

New sample specifications have been added to demonstrate how the .ColSpec feature works.
