Sales Tax Code Per Line Item

Choose a unique sales tax code per line item on a sale or purchase transaction. For example, you may sell items that require different tax codes on the same sales invoice. Include all those items on the same transaction without having to create separate sales.

Open Recent Company Files

If you have more than one Company File, switching between them is now easier and faster. Open a different company while in an existing file or from the Welcome window by selecting Recents under the File menu in AccountEdge, then select from the 10 most recent Company Files. Company Files will be listed by their file name.

Allow Text as a Check Number

We’ve made it easier to record ATM, Venmo, PayPal or other direct withdrawals from your banking accounts. Now you can use letters in the Check # field instead of numbers. For example, if you use your ATM card to make withdrawals, when you record those transactions in the Spend Money window you can use “ATM” as the Check #. Any text entered will not be checked for duplicates making repeated transactions easier to record.

Making Copies

When copying an invoice we’ll pre-populate the default customer name onto the new sales transaction. When copying a bill we’ll pre-populate the default vendor name onto the new purchase transaction.

New Sales Tax Features

Need to report and file sales tax in multiple states? Our new set of sales tax reports let you filter by state, choose all states, and include sales without a state associated with them.

Quickly analyze your state-by-state sales to see in which states you need to file taxes with these new reports:

• Sales Tax by State Summary
• Sales Tax by State Detail
• Sales Tax by State Summary (Cash)
• Sales Tax by State Detail (Cash)

Longer Tax Codes

It’s easier to manage your tax requirements with longer tax codes. If you have many sales tax regions and codes to keep tabs on, we’ve extended the character limit to 10 characters, which will even let you name your tax codes for more easier identification.

Tax Code Default per Card Address

Assign a unique tax code to each of the five available address records on customer and vendor cards. This way, if you are shipping to an address that is taxed differently, the appropriate tax code will populate your sales and purchases. By default, the tax code you have associated with a customer or vendor will automatically be applied to all five addresses.

Use Tax

Depending on where you live, you may be required to track and pay sales tax on purchases where a vendor did not apply tax on that purchase. This type of tax code doesn’t add tax to the transaction, but tracks the tax that you would owe for Use Tax. Sales tax reports include a new section that breaks out purchases for which you may owe Use Tax.

Sales Tax Report Tab

All sales tax reports have moved to their own unique Sales Tax tab in the Index to Reports, making it easier to find and manage all fourteen reports.

Tax Exception Report

Find mistakes on transactions where tax has been applied incorrectly with the Tax Exception report. This report lists where you (or someone else using AccountEdge) changed the tax code on sales and purchases transactions.

Transaction Tax Codes Report

Identify transactions whose tax code changed from the default, grouped by income account, on a line-by-line basis. This report shows the debits and credits to each account –– by line –– and the entered and default tax code used.

Tax Information Reconciliation Detail and Summary Reports

If a transaction was created mistakenly using the tax liability account, this report compares tax collected to the linked sales tax liability account for a given period of time to identify any discrepancies.

Online Customer Orders (AccountEdge Connect)

Customers can place a Sales Order via AccountEdge Connect’s customer portal. You can use the Connect to choose which items are available, which customers are permitted to place sales orders, and require a credit card payment or other payment option. Price levels, quantity discounts, and customer item discounts are automatically applied based on the customer and item being sold.

Mass Emailing of Statements (AccountEdge Connect)

Send customizable statements to customers by group. Email those with overdue balances, or those overdue by a chosen number of days. And if you process credit card payments, using the customer portal will send customers an email with a Pay Now button included for easier customer payments.

Customer Payment Details Report

Track down payments and determine which invoices a customer paid off with the new Customer Payment Details report. It lists each payment received and which sale the payment was applied to, across a date range. Filter by date, customer, amount, payment ID Number, and many other fields.

Vendor Payments Details Report

Similar to the Customer Payment Detail report, this new report lists payments which you have made to Vendors, and includes which Bills the payment was applied to. Filter by date range, vendor, session date, Check/Trans ID number, amount range, and more.

Default Forms Setup

Set default forms of your choosing for transactions such as Quotes, Orders, Invoices, and more.

Past Due Stamp

A new custom field called Past Due stamp is available on sales forms. Add this field to your form and print or email an invoice. If the sale is overdue according to the terms you have set up for the customer, the new Past Due stamp appears on the form. This is a great way to resend overdue invoices to let the customer know they need to make a (late) payment.

Custom Phone Field Labels

Assign labels to specific contact numbers in the Card File. Choose from Mobile, Home, Work, or create your own label to help differentiate numbers on a contact card.

Shipping Fields for Forms

Add additional fields to your sales forms including invoices, orders, and packing slips to include shipping information. These fields correspond to those in the Shipping Details window on a sale. The new fields include are:

• Sales Tax by State Summary
• Sales Tax by State Detail
• Sales Tax by State Summary (Cash)
• Sales Tax by State Detail (Cash)

To Do List Stock Alert

Easily reorder low inventory from the Stock tab. Found in the To Do List, see items that are in need of reorder by Item Name and Item Number.

Faster Loading of the Find Transactions and Items Register Windows

The Find Transaction window and the Items Register both load twice as fast in AccountEdge 2020, which will be welcome news for businesses that with large items lists, lots of inventory-related transactions, and/or otherwise have large company files.

2020 W-4 Changes

For 2020 a new checkbox for W-4 Step 2 is included on Employee payroll records on the Employee Payroll Detail Taxes tab. This new option is for those who have a second job or a spouse with a job. Once checked, a different set of tax tables/formulas are used for Federal taxes.

Save Custom Notes on Sales and Purchases

The Notes that you add to Sales and Purchases can now be saved for future use, and optionally printed on your forms. For example, if you add standard language like Terms and Conditions to many transactions, just add the Notes field to your custom forms to have these notes on your printed or PDF sales and purchases.

Find Deposit Transaction From a Receive Payment

Use the new drill down arrow on Receive Payment, Receive Money or Refund Transaction to go directly to its original Prepare Bank Deposit transaction.

Sortable Columns on Prepare Bank Deposit

Sort the Transaction ID, Date, Memo, Payment Method and Amount columns on the Prepare Bank Deposit window to quickly find and select receipts to deposit.

New Columns on Customer & Vendor Payments Windows

The Receive Payments and Pay Bills windows now feature sortable columns including Invoice #, Status, Date, Amount, etc., to make it easier to find an invoice or bill to pay. Windows resize for wider columns showing fuller content.

Pre-filled Payment Amounts

While viewing an open sale or purchase, select the Receive Payment or Pay Bill option to open transaction windows with the amount pre-filled and applied to the sale or purchase # you are viewing.

Easy Access to Credit Limit and Hold Option

Click the new drill down arrow next to a customer’s credit limit to view and edit the Credit Limit, Available Credit and Past Due Amount, and change the Credit Hold status. Read-Only access is available.

Set User Access Permissions to Buying and Selling Details

Set permissions by user to the Selling Details and Buying Details tabs that include critical credit information. You can also set Read Only access to the Credit Limit and Hold window so only specified users have the ability to change the limit and credit hold status.

Sales Tax Rate Out to 5 Decimals

Sales Tax Rates can be set to 5 decimals to support states that are implementing longer sales tax rates.

Filter on Last Transaction Date

If you’re looking for a list of customers with whom you haven’t done business since a certain date, you can now filter in the Card File for a payment or a sale by the last transaction date. You can also find lapsed customers by filtering on the Card List Detail and Summary reports, and within the Email function in the Card File Command Center for sending emails or promotions. The filter is also available on a vendor’s last transaction date for a payment or a purchase.

Filter Statements by Overdue

When on the Print/Email Statements window, you can select only customers who have an overdue amount, and email or print statements for this group.

Jobs Status Filter on Jobs Reports

Most Jobs Reports now filter by Status so that you can run them to report only on jobs completed, or for jobs in progress or any of your other Statuses.

Date Filtering on Registers

The Register windows, including the Sales Register, Bank Register, Transaction Journal and more, have new date filtering options including Month to Date, Year to Date, This Quarter, This Month, Last Month, This Quarter, Next Quarter, This Year, Last Year or Customer Year.

Customer Portal

The Customer Portal is a web site where your customers can log in to view their open receivables, make credit card payments against open sales, update their credit card information, view online payment history, and if you allow, apply available credits to open invoices. If you have an AccountEdge Merchant Account, your customers can pay you online in the customizable Portal. Otherwise, they can view their open receivables.

Process Credit Cards in Bulk

Easily process credit cards in bulk using AccountEdge Connect. From the new Bulk Payments window, view all open receivables and invoices (from desktop or Connect) and manage all aspects of bulk processing. No more authorizing each credit card payment one by one by one. Save hours by Approving All payments, then hitting a single button to process all payments. Send bulk email payment confirmations and handle the inevitable failed payments or expiring credit cards with bulk email capabilities as well. You can update credit cards yourself, or your customers can update their own credit cards through the Customer Portal.

Recurring Billing

This is your go-to feature for creating multiple invoices on a schedule to be automatically recorded in bulk. These sales can be identical across customers or may contain services or items that vary in amount or quantity by month. AccountEdge Connect makes it easy to create and manage your recurring invoices with a Recurring Sales window that displays all of your recurring sales by customer, along with their items and quantities.

Creating and Syncing Applied Credits

Credits can be created in either AccountEdge or AccountEdge Connect. They will all appear in AccountEdge Connect. You can now apply the credit to an open receivable within AccountEdge Connect as well. The Applied Credit transaction will sync down to your company file.

Web Pay Statements

Send Statements from AccountEdge Pro with an optional Pay Now link in the email and on your custom statement form. Use a Web Pay Statement with a URL to the Customer Portal, directing your customer to pay you online. They can then either log in or create an account to continue using the Customer Portal.

Copy Auto-Build From

If you’re regularly creating Auto-Build Items, you can now use “Copy Auto-Build From” to create an Auto Build item with the same details and components of another Auto Build item. You can also simply copy the component items to use on an existing auto-build item.

New Scalable Windows

Scaling windows will enlarge the columns, enabling you to see longer item names and numbers. The Jobs Detail, Count Inventory, Transaction Journal and Prepare Time Billing Activity Log windows are now resizable and scalable.

Scalable/Sortable Windows (Win. only)

The following windows are scalable so that the columns will increase in width for viewing more information. Clicking the column header will also sort the columns of these windows: Find Transactions, Bank Register, Sales Register, Purchases Register, Items Register, Reconcile window, To Do List, Cards List, and Items List. Feature exists on Mac.

Searchable Accounts List

The Accounts List window is also now searchable. You can search for an account by name or number as well as Starts With/Contains filters.

Notes Field on All Transactions

Add a Note to all transactions with the new Add Note button. This helps you remember why you created a particular Journal Entry, for example, or why you adjusted inventory. The Notes field can be added to appropriate reports and to check stubs and other transactions.

Check Number Field

Acclivity co-founder, Scott Davisson, uses AccountEdge to manage his son’s soccer club and requested that the Check # field be present on Receive Money and Customer Payments without having to drill into Details. Apparently, the extra click has been driving him crazy. If you agree, then this is the upgrade for you.

Customer Credit Shown on Sale

When creating a sale, you’ll now see the total credits available for that customer directly on the sales screen. When recording the invoice you’ll be asked if you would like to apply the credit to that sale or choose to apply it to other open invoices.

Shopify inventory sync

Job reporting & splitting jobs

Allocate an amount to multiple jobs on a single transaction line. For example, pay your lawn care bill and allocate a portion of your payment to each of your properties. Allocate across multiple jobs by amount or percent.

Invoice & Purchase PDF naming

When emailing sales and purchases, PDF attachment file names will now reference the invoice and purchase numbers (instead of eSale.pdf).

Departments on time sheets

Allocate employee time/cost to departments via Time Sheets. Also split the time between multiple departments. The department allocations will flow to Process Payroll and can be saved and split within Recurring Pay.

Split Departments by Percentage

When allocating a line to a department you will now be able to split the amount using a percentage vs needing to calculate each dollar amount.

Adding Vendors to Invoices as a Salesperson

If you hire subcontractors to perform a sales role, you now have the option to include vendors in the Salesperson list when creating sales. On a Vendor card you can select (under Card Details) the Commissionable Salesperson check box. Even if you're not using the Commission feature in AccountEdge, you can check this box so that you can select this vendor as a salesperson on a sale.

Logging Out Active Users (AccountEdge Network Edition Only)

Administrator users can now view active users in a company file and log them out gracefully. This is helpful if a user’s computer falls asleep while connected to a company file, when you might need to perform a single user task like starting a new fiscal year or if you can't turn off FileConnect because users are still connected. This is performed via File/Active Workstations (by an administrator user only).

Transaction Journal - All Transactions Faster

The "All" tab in the Transaction Journal has been optimized to generate faster when viewing All Transactions.

Import/Export Transactions with Split Multiple Department/Job Allocations

Transactions that have lines split between multiple jobs or departments can now be imported/exported.

Consolidated Journal Entries

When recording sales and purchases, journal entry lines will be consolidated into a single line (when the same account is being used). If different jobs are used, the term "Split” is displayed to indicate that the line covers multiple jobs. The result is smaller journal entries, especially with long sales with multiple lines, which in turn decreases company file size over time.

Shopify Integration

Introduced AccountEdge Connect

Create Trust, Escrow and Retainer accounts. AccountEdge’s retainer feature comes with time-saving usability updates to create Retainer, Escrow and Trust accounts, including linking bank accounts, writing checks directly from these accounts, and easily transferring funds into and out of these accounts.

Improved Bank Statement Import

Importing and reconciling bank statements is more streamlined and intuitive with the new Bank Statement Import. The new "worksheet" acts as a middle-man between import and reconciliation to improve the workflow of dealing with bank statements. Plus, rules can be created to look for and match transactions.

Batch Delete

If you've been using AccountEdge for a few years, you've probably accumulated some contact cards or items that are no longer needed. New Batch Delete will help you clean up your card lists. Select multiple cards or items and delete them in a batch with a single mouse click.

Expanded Tax Code Field

If your state has multiple tax jurisdictions and authorities, or if you need to create tax codes for multiple states, now you can create tax codes up to 5 characters in length, up from 3 in earlier versions of AccountEdge.

Change Orders

If you create estimates for clients, you probably need to deal with changes to the estimate during the process. The new Change Orders feature tracks what changed on your estimate and lets you keep notes on why a change was made.

Sales & Purchases Notes

Add notes to sales and purchase orders. If you want to make notes on quotes, orders, or invoices about sales or purchase details, now there's a notes field where you can do so.

Billing Rate Reports

Updated Financial Statements

Financial statements – including Profit & Loss and Balance Sheet reports – have been redesigned to make them cleaner and easier to read.

Whether you depreciate your vehicle, reimburse for mileage, or bill your clients for miles driven, you can use AccountEdge to track your mileage. Add your vehicles to the vehicle list, then enter the starting and ending readings of your odometer.

Multiple billing rates

Create a matrix of billing rates, by activity, employee, and customer, so that you can charge different rates for the same activity. For example, you can use custom billing rates to set up rate schedules based on employee seniority.

New command center

While retaining the familiar flow chart layout, the new Side Bar and additional menus, Sync and Lists, make it easier to read and navigate your company file.

Side bar

The Side Bar lets you get to recently visited places in AccountEdge. Create a Favorites list for one-click access to your most used windows.

New welcome window

You can access company file maintenance without having to open the company file, and navigate to support tools directly. The new RSS feed gives up-to-the-minute news on product updates and new releases.

New billing statement invoice type

Make it easier for your customers to see where they stand with AccountEdge’s new billing statement invoice. Four new invoices include statement details like current and ending balance and an invoice aging statement. Overdue invoices are aged as of the print date of the invoice.

Restore company file

Restore a company file without having to open it in AccountEdge first. Use the new Company File Maintenance drop-down menu in the welcome window to restore your company file.

Dropbox backup/restore

Back up online and offsite with a free Dropbox account. Former MobileMe customers may consider using Dropbox in replacement for Apple's discontinued iDisk.

Streamline your invoicing

Use the new Statements with Invoice Details to send a single monthly statement that includes the detail of each invoice. An item statement will show each item with cost, and a service or professional will show each description with cost.

Longer statement descriptions

The description fields on statements now wrap and show the entire text from memo fields.

Expanded amount in English on checks

We’ve improved how AccountEdge prints checks with amounts over $100,000 written out in English, rather than numerically.

Updated Start a New Year assistants

The Start a New Fiscal Year and Start a New Payroll Year assistants have new, easier to read layouts for better usability. You can also choose to retain or purge prior year Progress Billing information.

Progress billing

Contractors, architects, engineering firms, and others that bill by project or job can now bill as work is completed. Bill by percentage of the total quote, percentage of each line item, quantity, rate, and more and AccountEdge will manage the invoicing of the entire project from start to finish. You can even bill in excess of 100% of the original quote for overages, change orders, and expenses.

Retainers

Lawyers, graphic designers, and others that need to manage retainers can create and maintain retainers the way they want to. Set up and manage retainers in AccountEdge, keep a minimum retainer balance, and add expenses to a retainer to pay bills on behalf of clients. Request replenishment, receive payments, and print custom retainer statements with a single click.

Create an invoice from a purchase

If you regularly incur expenses on behalf of your customers, kill two birds with one stone by recording a purchase for the original cost of the expense, and then automatically creating an invoice to bill your customer’s retainer account.

Updated search on select from list

We’ve heard you loud and clear and reinstated the old way of searching through lists, while keeping the “starts with” and “contains” method introduced in AccountEdge 2010. Search by any text string, or modify your search by specific field.

Sales and purchases action buttons

Frequently used functions are quickly accessed with the new action button that appears on sales and purchases windows. Click the button to open a simple drop down menu that lets you quickly use or save a recurring transaction, change exchange rates, and much more.

Increased description, note, and email message field size

No more abbreviated notes, descriptions or emails in AccountEdge. We’ve increased field sizes for descriptions, notes and email messages to 1000 characters.

Check redesign looks more like paper counterpart

AccountEdge’s check interface has been redesigned to be more in line with printed checks.

Reconciled date on account history report

Keep track of when your banking accounts were last reconciled with the new Reconciled Date field on the Account History report.
