Announcing Sage Timeslips Premium April 2018 Service Release

Sage Timeslips Premium April 2018 Service Release has just released. This Service Release is the result of customer feedback and continued quality assurance testing. Listed below are enhancements, new features, & fixes that are in this Service Release.

New Enhancements & Features

Type Search delay preference
When you are entering a nickname on a slip or on a transaction, you can enter the beginning characters in the nickname and Timeslips will move to the matching names. For longer nicknames, if you pause while entering the characters, Timeslips can reset the search and you may not stop on the name you expect.
On the Navigation Rules page of Preferences (select Setup; Preferences), you can now use the “Reset type search criteria when there is no activity for” preference to delay that reset.

Previewing reports to Display
Several lists throughout Timeslips include a Print icon, allowing you to print a quick report. For example, from the Time and Expense Slip List (select Slips; Time and Expense Slips), you can click the Print icon to print a listing of all slips listed. In previous versions, clicking the Print icon would send the report directly to the printer or to a file.
On the Menus and Commands page of Preferences (select Setup; Preferences), Timeslips now offers the “Print from dialogs” preference. Setting this preference to Print to display allows you to preview these reports before printing to printer or file.

Fixes

Using the Update Rate Wizard can display a Duplicate Index Error on some databases
When you edit billing rates, you can then update rates on slips using the Update Rate Wizard (select Special; Update Rates). Using this process in some databases could display a Duplicate Index Error.


When slip adjustments are disabled, saving new slips can show an AV error
 If you have disabled Slip Adjustments (select Setup; Features Enabled), Timeslips can display AV errors when you save new slips.

When using filters on Time Sheet, non-template totals could incorrectly be zero
You can use selection filters to limit the templates displayed on the time sheet (select Slips; Time Sheet; Slip Entry). When excluding templates from the time sheet, their totals should be included in the Non-Template Totals amount at the bottom of the time sheet, but this total could show as 0.00.

Editing transactions could show an incorrect transaction information in other areas
When entering A/R transactions (select Transactions; Accounts Receivable), if you applied a new transaction to an invoice and then edited that transaction to change its type (for example changing it from a payment to a write off), when you review the Applied Transactions for the invoice, the original transaction type for the applied transaction could still appear.

Transferring money to a funds account could cause AV if there are no projects in database
In Timeslips, if you have money from a payment that is not applied to an invoice, you can transfer it from the payment to another project or to a client funds account. A quick way to do this is using the Transfer Money button on the payment. Using this button could cause an AV error if there were no projects in the database.

Precision in slip values could be off when splitting slips between more than two clients
When splitting slips by more than two clients (select Bills; Split Billing Rules), the slip values for the primary client can be off because Timeslips was not assigning remaining fractions from secondary clients back to the primary client.

Total hours may round differently on summarized bills
When summarizing slips on bills, the total hours of summarized time slips may round differently than the total hours of all time slips.

Summarizing slips on bills can show Hours values incorrectly
When summarizing slips on bills (select Bills; Bill and Statement Layouts), Timeslips may hide the Amount column heading on the bill. The bill also shows hours for both billable and override slips; in this case, only override slips should be shown.

Reprint Bills could show incorrect Invoice Status for bills with no new charges
You can use Reprint Bills (select Bills; Reprint Bills) to review the Invoice Status (ex: Paid in Full) for past invoices. The status for bills that did not have new charges (ex: bills stating the balances due) may show a Paid-in-Full status instead of a N/A status.

If you edit a filter and mistakenly exclude all names, Timeslips now warns you
When editing existing filters on a report, you could mistakenly exclude all names from the report; this would result in nothing to print. Timeslips now warns you when you’ve done this.

On User-Defined A/R Transaction Listing, Check Number and Bank Deposit Slip is always blank
When printing a User-Defined A/R Transaction Listing (select Reports; A/R Transactions), if you include the Check Number field or Bank Deposit Slip field, the value printed for each transaction will always be blank.

Rebuilding balances for clients with Special Credits may change client’s balance
If data damage causes any of your clients’ balances to be incorrect, you can use the Data Verification process (select File; Data Verification) to rebuild A/R balances or Funds balances. If any of your clients use Special Credit transactions, then rebuilding their A/R balances may not work as expected.
