My new feature highlights:
Reverse debit, credit when importing bank statements
Business value
This feature helps correct the debit and credit marks when importing bank statements in advanced bank reconciliation.
Define financial tags to support analytical reporting
Business value
Financial tags let organizations track user-defined fields on accounting entries posted to the general ledger. This eliminates the need to create financial dimensions that contain values that are not reusable. Additional financial dimensions increase the size of an organization's chart of accounts, causing a negative impact on system performance during processes such as the year-end close. The financial tag values can be used for reporting purposes or ledger settlement. For example, you can create a financial tag to track payment references used for ledger settlements, making it easier to match transactions.
Save time with ledger settlement automation
Business value
This feature saves time and labor costs by automatically matching debit and credit transactions in the General ledger and marking them as settled. Your accounting staff no longer has to mark and settle the related transactions manually, allowing them to focus on the areas that have the highest value for your organization.
Access new bank reconciliation report
Business value
The bank reconciliation report provides clear, overall information of bank reconciliation status and bank transactions within a certain period, supporting a better auditing evidence.
