Read on below for full details, along with a recap of other features you may have missed: Redesigned Creditor Payments screen, New Debtor Management Console
New features now available in Alchemii v5
⚙️ New “Unissued” Purchase Orders Report
You can now generate a report showing purchase orders that haven’t yet been issued. This gives you better visibility over open orders and helps ensure nothing slips through the cracks.
⚙️ Deliveries from the Cash Register
Delivery information can now be added on-the-fly from the Cash Register module, much like you would currently do in the Sales Orders / Invoicing module. Previously, the customer’s main address was used without an option to alter the delivery address. A new button, Requires Delivery, has been added to the tendering screen, and a popup enables entry of delivery details to be printed on the docket or invoice.
⚙️ Stocktaking Enhancements
Stocktake Worksheets can now be printed specifically for Stock Items with negative quantities on hand, making it simpler to identify and correct these discrepancies. This makes it easier to capture and update these items using Bulk Count Entry, ensuring nothing is missed during your stocktake.
Additionally, a “Remove Count” button has been introduced in the Stocktake Count entry screens to allow clearing the count on an individual entry.
⚙️ Merging Customer Accounts
It is now possible to merge customer accounts, bringing customer history and related records together into a single account. This process is currently managed by the Foresiight Support team to ensure data integrity. If you need assistance merging customers, our team can take care of this for you. *Extended Services charges apply.
More v5 features you may have missed
⚙️ Redesigned Manual and Regular Creditor Payments
The Creditor Payments Manager screen introduces a new, step-by-step interface. Helpful hints guide you through each stage of the payment run, making the process clearer and more intuitive while keeping the underlying functionality the same.
⚙️ New Debtor Management Console
We’ve introduced a brand-new Debtor Management Console, designed to make managing customer accounts more efficient. You can now update multiple debtor accounts simultaneously – for example, placing selected accounts on credit hold in just a few clicks. The console also provides a clear, at-a-glance view of account terms (with or without credit limits) and current credit hold status, making it easier to stay in control of your Accounts Receivable.
