Release Notes for LOU59

Release Date: September 27 2023

 

LOU could it be now?!

 

New Features

  • Accounts Receivable Post Date: When creating a Payment you can change the date to another date from the Invoice Date forward. This feature should be used with extreme caution as it impacts Accounting Records.

 

Feature Changes and Enhancements

  • LOU Audit Log for Payment on File: When a User or Customer adds a Payment on File (POF) for a Customer, it will show on the LOU Audit Log.
  • LOU Accounting – Account Reconciliation: When selecting 500+ records, LOU will process the reconciliation in batches of 500 and email you when processing is complete. When you leave and return to a reconciliation still processing, LOU will prevent you from making changes by notifying you that the reconciliation is currently being processed and no changes may be made.
  • Calendar: The name of the Calendar was updated in additional menus from Scheduler (Beta) and Calendar to Calendar (New) and Calendar (Classic), respectively.

 

Bug Fixes

On the Apply Payments and Credits page and the Review and Unapply page for Payments and Invoices, a Discount and Paid Amount field will display.
  • POS 2.0 Sync Date and Time: We corrected an issue that was preventing the Date and Time from updating when automatically or manually syncing Data on POS2.

Only the applied amount should display on the Authorize Payment on File pop-up.
