New Features
Adagio Ledger 9.0B
Released: July 13th, 2009
Edit Budgets and Forecasts entry has been significantly improved to speed the entry of these figures. Speed keys are available on the entry form to quickly change an option. Budget calculation methods are remembered on an account basis, and the budget calculation method is automatically changed as you "step" through the chart of accounts. If a method results in new budget or forecast figures being calculated, then the new figures are displayed in red and the caption on the OK button changes to "Apply".
You can now make a department "Inactive" and automatically mark all the associated account-department records Inactive.
A new function, Clone company, will allow you to quickly duplicate a general ledger chart of accounts and financial statements for a new entity. Accounts are created with no transactions and no opening balances.
Creating your first or a new department has been improved by allowing you to multi-select the accounts from your entire chart for inclusion with the department.
Supports retrieval of subledger batches where the accounting date is different from the document date (a feature of Adagio Receivables V9.0A).
You can now specify that certain retrievals and imports be processed automatically at module start-up.
Reports now allow you to exclude inactive accounts. The Trial Balance report includes the total debits and credits from excluded accounts. Accounts with activity that nets to zero are now excluded from the Trial Balance. Users can be prevented from purging the posting journal accidentally during the year.
A new option in batch entry automatically calculates the balancing entry for a transaction and positions the cursor in the correct field.
When editing the fiscal calendar, the starting date of the next fiscal period is automatically set to the ending date of the previous period plus one day.
Copying an account allows control of the copying of Notes, Budgets, Forecasts, Reallocations and currency buckets. You can easily copy budgets to forecasts and vice-versa.
You can no longer change the type of an account (Balance Sheet, Income Statement, Retained Earnings) when doing so would result in problems.
Adagio Ledger will automatically generate a batch description when a new batch is created. Batch description text can include the user, date and time of creation in the description. The batch description can still be edited.
You can now unpost batches from "Next Year" as well as re-value a multi-currency Ledger in the "Next" year. You can also specify that subledger batches be retrieved into a specific period in the "Next" year, once it has been created.
The Adagio log on process has been improved. The user can be identified through their Windows authenticated user ID using the “remember user name” and “remember password” options on the log in dialog. The Previously Opened database list is now saved by Adagio User rather than for all users. The Previously Opened list also displays the date the data was last accessed by the user.
Date entry has been improved by recognizing a single number as a day and defaulting the month and year of the entry. Four digit numbers default the year. Entering “12” into the date control with the sign-on date being Feb 26, 2008 will result in February 12, 2008 being returned to the application.
Adagio Ledger will optionally create a backup of related data whenever a Data Integrity Check completes without errors. Adagio Ledger will always create a backup of a database prior to applying any “fix” as a result of the “Rebuild” option being selected to repair damaged data. Backup details are written to the log file.
And these changes were made in earlier versions:
Version 9.0A (April 2nd, 2008)
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® Plus™ 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.
