Improvements

Financial

NS-12767, NS-12772 - Improved the GL Account Search and Quick Replacement Feature

We love the new Account Search feature. Over the last couple of releases, we’ve added the ability to key or search for GL Accounts to the Sales, Purchase Order, AP Invoice & Credit Memo, and Journal Entry record views. This release, we’re making it even better by allowing the lookups’ Quick Replacement feature to work for any number of GL Account Segments. We’ve also added the ability to search by Account Description, for those Account Numbers you just can’t seem to remember off the top of your head. Searching by description works the same way as searching by Number: just type the description (or part of it) and if there is only one match, NorthScope will automatically fill in the account for you. If more than one match is found, a list with be shown for you to select from. Lastly, but by no means least, we’ve addressed a couple bugs that have popped up, including restoring the ability to use the account search feature on brand new, never-before-saved line items. We've published an FAQ to help you get the most out of this great feature.

Mobile App

NS-12764 - Improved Offline Support and Transaction Line-Item Data Editing

Smartphones and tablets are really amazing things: the ability to know precisely where they are on the planet down to a few inches and the ability to be connected virtually anywhere a cellular or Wi-Fi signal exists. They’ve got a few drawbacks, too, of course: screens can sometimes be too small and those all-important Wi-Fi signals aren’t as ubiquitous as we all wish they would be. NorthScope Mobile is helping you tackle those problems by alerting you when it can’t communicate with your NorthScope system, so you don’t lose the data you’ve entered.

NorthScope Mobile also now allows you to enter multiple datapoints per line item, so you don’t have to choose just one value at a time. And speaking of line items, the mobile app now has the ability to record the precise GPS location coordinates and timestamp for each line item, so you know exactly when and where you were each time you added or edited a line item on your mobile transaction.
