224192 FINANCE PY Payroll log enquiry Payroll Would like the payroll log to record details of what causes payroll parameters to trip
224426 FINANCE GL Trial Balances The exclusion of unclosed adjustment period movements from trial balance and other reports causes confusion and is unsatisfactory. The work envisaged is to change the period selection on the Summary and Detail Trial Balance reports to allow the entry of a start period of A. When A is entered and the adjustment period is open then the opening balance will include the Adjustment period movements for last year. When A to A is selected then only the Adjustment transactions will be printed. When A to O is selected then Adjustment (period 19 prev year) and O/B (period 00 this year) will be selected.

226120 FINANCE AU Audit Control Auditing This MBE is to review all those tables that have been marked as un-auditable and, where possible, make them available. There are certain tables that cannot be audited - those with duplicate keys but generally there should not be a problem with most tables.
227341 FINANCE GL Posting Codes This MBE is to allow the entry of the analysis codes on the posting code maintenance only. It would be a further roadmap enhancement to allow flexible defaulting of the posting code analysis from either the cost centre or account code.
227444 FINANCE AP Invoice Entry In an internal multi-company set-up. When posting AP invoice lines across companies then generate the appropriate inter-company balancing entries.
227716 FINANCE AP payments maint The payments list maintenance program should show the total payments on entry to the maintenance list and keep a separate running total of the value after each line amendment.
227732 FINANCE AR Invoice Entry Within Accounts Receivable Invoice Entry, the system should check that the due date entered is not less than the invoice date. It may be valid to allow this for credit notes where the user wishes to match invoices and credit notes into the same aged debt bucket.

227738 FINANCE PY P14 Print Allow a range of employees to be entered on the P14 print
227763 FINANCE AR sl_cash_entry Settlement Discount Date does not show if the settlement discount is not due, thereby making it difficult to tell if this invoice was subject to settlement discount.
228157 FINANCE AR Statements Allow the Credit Terms to be printed on the Statement. These should be based on the Credit Category.
228172 FINANCE AP Printing of cheques For countries with low value currencies the cheque print forms need to print out in billions rather than just hundreds of millions.
228180 FINANCE AR Statements Running balance column required on A/R statements
228732 FINANCE CB Statements Currently the statements entry program in Cash Management will match any items that are equal in value without giving the opportunity to accept the match or not.

229041 FINANCE AP Modify Payments List Modify the A/P payments list to show the total value of the payments list on screen.

229458 FINANCE AR Statements The customer has requested that the customer statements be added to the list of forms that are affected by system key OPCUSTLANG (project DA0295). DA0295 overrides the user formset with that defined in the customer language field for OP customer documents

230685 FINANCE AP Reminder Letters This MBE is to allow the setting of a lower limit in Reminder Letter list generation to exclude low value accounts.
230905 FINANCE FA assets Fixed Assets: asset enquiry and asset history enquiry At present when you browse on the asset register file in Fixed Assets > Enquiries > assets and depreciation history the assets come up in Alpha Code order (if one exists) and not asset number order, ie 1,2,3,4,5 etc. Can we add say an F8 change sequence option (like we have in AR and AP) so that you can view the assets in asset number order.
231196 FINANCE AP cash required report Accounts Payable - Cash required Report Would like to have the supplier's payment terms available on the report.
231244 FINANCE AR Customer Enquiry AR - Customer enquiry, open item enquiry Calculate and display YTD profit as a figure and a percentage on customer enquiry and on the header of open item enquiry.
231245 FINANCE AR Browing on Customers. Standard customer/supplier browse - DA0389 Optionally display phone number instead of post code in the browse screen when this project is enabled.

231592 FINANCE PY Leavers Within Payroll, the customer would like an employee to be marked as stopped for tax credits when they are made leavers. Currently this has to be done manually else the employee still appears on the tax credit forecast report etc.
231844 FINANCE AR Statements AR Statements - Currently it is possible to exclude accounts with -ve or zero balance from the statement run. We want to be able to enter a minimum value and exclude customers who's balance is below that, to avoid sendign statements for very small amounts.
231863 FINANCE AP Purchase Ledger On the A/p Ledger Payment Batch printout (module:pl,Application name:cash_entry,form name:print_form,description:Cash Batch List) the supplier's reference is printed,but we also need our own invoice reference to print too (ie the value of system key PLLASTOURI).This field appears on the create payments list print out and is required on the payment batch printout for cross reference purposes.
231986 FINANCE AP pl_invoice_entry In AP invoice entry, we would like the effective date to be defaulted to today, so that this becomes the default for the effective date on all itenms in the batch. Currently it is left blank and the effective date defaults from the invoice date. Ideally, the default would also take into account which periods are open - i.e. default to today or the last day of the the last open period if this is earlier. COuld be driven by setting the initial value as =
232004 FINANCE GL security At the point when a short code is entered in PL Invoice entry, provide a function key to check the security for that user.
232262 FINANCE PY Payroll payslips Payroll Payslip print always treats the employee number as alpha-numeric which means that the sort order for those employees with three characters or less can be out of sequence. e.g.. 1004 is before 203.
232276 FINANCE AR Cash entry Within AR, cash entry, require the possibility to have an extra field on batch header screen, to enter a default '2nd ref' field, which would then write to all individual payments in the batch. Usability issue when dealing with customers who send many cheques for the one account.
232406 FINANCE CB Statements When using Cash Management statements, the users would like to be able to set up the system in such a way as to be able to match statements items based on reference or value or both ie check reference first, if no match is found check value.
232604 FINANCE CB Enquiries Within Cash Management enquiry, require a method of selecting only a particular period's set of transactions rather than the complete file.

233100 FINANCE CB Journal Within Cash Management Journals, allow a search faciity to find items on statements and cash book by item, value, date etc.
233255 FINANCE CB Cash Book Payments /Receipts Cash Book payment/receipt batch entry. When running internal multicompany, would like to enter the company code at header level and then use this to replace the first character of the GL posting codes, to ensure single company postings.
233394 FINANCE AP Generate Payment From List Supplier Remittance Advices - address printing Would like the positioning of address lines to be consistent in situations where a payment reference supplier is used. Currently, when a payment reference supplier name is printed then the address lines are moved down. This restricts the use of external printing software.
233515 FINANCE GL GL Journal To automatically spool a print of a GL journal at the time of posting.
233561 FINANCE GL Posting Code Generation Allow the user to decide how the posting code description is generated. Currently the default is to join the cost centre and account code short descriptions; the user requests that the description can optionally be generated from the account description alone.
233826 FINANCE AR reminder letters Allow the printing of the base currency code on reminder letters when the account currency is base. Currently prints blank.
234078 FINANCE GL journal entry Allow the reversing period for reversing GL journals to be user specified rather than being the next period.
234188 FINANCE AP Generate payments from list The customer would like to be able to enter the same 2nd ref for all suppliers in one go when generating a BACS payment list. The system allows it, if you don't keep the history or allow duplicates, but it automatically increments the original number entered for all further suppliers.
234332 FINANCE AR Period End AR Period end. When SLPLPOST=NO, the period end can be riun without posting GL distributions. Add a system key to say if this functionality is required - if YES, then check that Post GL distributions has been run before period end proceeds.

234753 FINANCE GNL Create Payments List Option = Create payment list - An 'F2 browse' function is not available for the field 'Short Name; from ... to ...'.
235035 FINANCE AP Aged Creditors Analysis Accounts Payable - Aged Creditors If you look at the Aged Debtor's Analysis selection screen, the top left-hand box prompts for currency - base or transaction. This functionality does not exist in the Aged Creditor's Analysis,and we would like it.

236945 FINANCE GL Special Report Definition The customer would like the F2 search, that is present within the Browse of detail lines in GL Special Reports to work. They would like it to search on the description line.
240020 FINANCE AP . AP invoice batch numbering with internal multi-company. When PLLASTINVA and multi-company, retain the first character of the batch number as the company indicator and allow the second character of the batch no to roll over to a letter. This gives approx 3,900 batch no's per internal company. NB We can not increase the no of characters in the batch number from 4 characters as this is high risk and requires multiple database changes.
206781 INFRASTRUCTURE MS General Currently there is no restriction on the number of attempts to login. Internal Audit suggest that only 3 attempts are permitted and then the user will have to ask the User Maintenance section to re-set it.
208062 INFRASTRUCTURE GNL n/a The ability to invoke the application associated with gifs or Jpgs from the attachment window is in line with the processing of all other document types. Currently we use explorer to view these - The enhancement would check to see if there is an editting application available - It may also be necessary to have a registry option as to whether images (perhaps other documents) are opened or edited from the attachment window.
218952 INFRASTRUCTURE GNL System Log-in Users should be able to change their passwords at will.
219343 INFRASTRUCTURE GNL ? GUI Client On the "Window" drop-down menu, the 2 options are never enabled. Please can we remove them.
221219 INFRASTRUCTURE GNL ADD buttom Customer requires "hotkey" for ADD button during stock transactions batch browsing
234366 INFRASTRUCTURE MS standard prints Headings such as company name and date not output on print
237377 INFRASTRUCTURE GNL spooler when doing a local print, would like the option to print a header/banner on the print as you have the option to do this when printing through Sage to a normal printer. Even if the option is set up within the Sage Spooler Management to print a banner/header on the print, this does not work on a local print
209107 LEGAL&FISCAL CM batch_update,main In option cm_batch updating we need to select the batch that we have presented to the bank previously. Then, we enter with H (for honour) in the next screen and need to tick every letter that we want to honour depending on the due date. As we work with a large number of COPs every day, it is necessary for our business to select the letters by due date within this option to avoid ticking every letter that we want to honour (we work with more than 300 COPs/day)
223826 LEGAL&FISCAL AR Direct Debit Generation AR: Using direct debits when COP/DA0417 functionality in use, the bank details are not sritten to the DD file. This is because they are stored in a different file when DA0417 enabled.
226520 LEGAL&FISCAL CM Statements By Pay Type Additional selection on A/R and A/P statements by Pay Type to allow selection on a range of Invoice dates. (NB Invoice Due date already available). If dates are entered, the program will restrict selection to items within the date range given in addition to any other ranges entered. This item of data is not on the intermediate letter file, so must be looked up from the open item file. This additional file read would slow processing.
229551 LEGAL&FISCAL IS Reports Requirement is to support Branch ID for Intrastats reporting. Add a new field 'Branch ID' to the input form for each Intrastats report. Entry is optional. It must be possible to set a default for this using Screen Designer. Print/output this branch ID in the relevant field of the output report (or file, in the case of EDI output).
234762 LEGAL&FISCAL CM Letter/Batch Enquiry Add F4 'last page' and F7 'goto' keys in Commercial papers Letter/Batch Enquiry.
234763 LEGAL&FISCAL CM Manula Letter Raising a manual letter in AR Commercial Papers. When the header details have been added and accepted and the 'payments term detail, screen appears. Escape leaves the option rather than back to header. Would like this changed so that ESC goes back to header.
234777 LEGAL&FISCAL BC bacs BACS_next field exists suspended on customer maintenance screens, for use when making first direct debit for a customer. Delivered as MBE 209076. Would like this field to be unsuspended. Suggest place on screen 3 near direct debit field.
228092 REPORTING RW . Browse function (F2) does not work in the "Report Definition Print" screen
206795 SERVICE PR User defined reports Project Ledger The 'Report Format Selection' form should have additional option (7 - Period Range) Then within the 'Reporting Ranges' form there should be a period range if, and only if, option 7 was selected from the 'Report Format Selection' form. This range should be in format YEAR/PERIOD - YEAR/PERIOD
232415 SERVICE PR User Defined Reports Within the Project Ledger User-Defined Reports, the provision of totals should be consistent across all possible reports i.e. all value columns should have totals where appropriate.
233761 SERVICE PR Billing Contract Maintenance Copy contract from pro-forma should only appear when selected by a F key, not automatically as per now
233822 SERVICE PR Billing Recommendations When checking to see when a project status changed from the viewpoint of a historical billing run. It should check the day entered and not the actual date changed. It is unlikely that someone would change the status on the system on the same day the status change actually occurred.
233849 SERVICE GNL Hold & Approve Auth Provide the billing instance within the invoice layout
233900 SERVICE PR Commitment Enquiry In Project Accounting, Commitment Enquiry, show commitments as a total as wel as broken down by period. Provide same function as in the GL Full Enquiry where a year and period range can be specified if required.
