Hi

we have just added a number of new reports which we hope you will find useful:

1. GST Audit Report

when you have completed a draft GST return its important to print out this report to review to ensure that all the GST transactions have been coded correctly. This is something your accountant may ask to review when they are preparing your year end acccounts

2. Monthly Profit and Loss and Balance sheet reports

These reports show how your business perform monthly, invaluable to see business trends

3. Accounts Receivable Aged Trial balance

This report shows all your invoices o/s and how many days they are overdue

4. General ledger enquiry report

this report enables you to analyse what transactions make up the balance in the profit and loss and Balance sheets

If you think there are other reports which would be useful please contact us

cheers

Martin

Hi

 sorry been a while but at 1place we have been busy behind the scenes. Since I last wrote we have implemented:

•   our automated billing system for our customers
• reduced the invoice numbering starting from 1000 from feedback from our customers
• Added “my reports ” tab, over the next few weeks we will be adding new reports in time for year end
• Updated our statements form

If you have any other suggestions how we can make 1place better then we love to hear from you

cheers

Martin

Hi

 we have been busy working on a lot of behind the scenes items with 1place, in making our functionality better. For those registered you will be receiving an automated reminder requesting what billing plan you want to be on. Remember 1place is completely free if you do less than 5  invoices a month.

In the coming weeks we will also be releasing some more functionality and look and feel changes which I’ll keep you informed

cheers

Martin

1place allows you to have up to 5 bank accounts per user registration. Each bank accounts transactions need to be separately uploaded into 1place from your bank in order for the transactions to be included in your results.

 when you are transferring between bank accounts we have set up a separate ” transfer between bank accounts” to handle interbank transfers

Merry Christmas to you all from the Team at 1place. We wish you a blessed and restful break
