New Features

Financial

NS-11632 Added Unrealized Gain/Loss Journal Entries

When working with multiple currencies, depending on when a sales transaction or payable transaction is paid, you may gain or lose money depending on the current exchange rate. That’s great to know at the time of paying a transaction but what if you want to plan out how the month is going to look, or plan for the next month? That’s where we realized that Unrealized Gain/Loss Journal Entries were important to add to NorthScope. We thought about creating our own NS currency to circumvent the whole conversion here vs. conversion there issue, but alas this would take too much effort and then getting the world to adopt this single currency just seemed like a big undertaking, not impossible, but more time and effort than we had bandwidth for in this release. 


NS-11644 Added Manual Payments

There may be times when you make a payment that happens outside of NorthScope (sad), in these cases, you want to record it in NorthScope so that you can keep your checkbook balances up to date and even your GL if you so choose. Of course, this will not impact vendor or fisherman balances. So if you must make payments outside of NorthScope, you can now record these in NorthScope (Manual Payment Record View), oh yeah you can File Import them too! 

Fisherman Accounting

NS-11660 Added ability to upload to eLandings (beta)

It’s been a thing to download from eLandings for quite a while now, but pushing to eLandings has not been a thing. With this release we have introduced upload to eLandings (beta). This will be done via Mass Update in the Fish Ticket list view. 

Improvements

Purchasing

NS-11640 Converted and Revamped the AP Process Payments Record View

Process Payments in Accounts Payable has been due for a revamp and conversion to 3.0 for a while now. This revamp adds two new payment types of Draft and Wire, which can be configured in the Checkbooks list view. Additionally, we now support multi-currency for Payables. Not only that, this screen now looks like other transaction screens with a status dropdown and a more organized toolbar and header section. Don’t worry, all the same functionality is still offered, it just makes more sense now. 

Bugs

Framework

NS-12082 Fixed an issue with the Print Dialog box sometimes displaying a blank page

In specific circumstances users found that printing from an inquiry or list view they would see a blank page. We like specifics, but not when they cause problems. Don’t’ worry though, this specific issue has specifically been eliminated.
