Bank Data
Over the past two years we've introduced Bank Feeds & Transaction Rules. The feedback we've received from AP's & Customers is that having automated BankFeeds is the feature that a lot of users base the decision on what Accounting Software they will go with.
The feedback we've received is that the BankFeed feature within Reckon Accounts is still behind other applications (Especially Cloud Based) in terms of usability.
The enhancements to be included are: -
- Allowing users to enter/edit Transaction Rules 'on the fly'
- Allow Class Tracking
- Have a new Payee Condition called 'Contains' so users can match partial words
- Ability to enter Multiple Transactions via a Rule
- Ability to create Sales Receipts (may not get through in the next release)
Ability to Export & Import the Rules List (may not get through in the next release)
NZ legislation
To implement any legislation changes (ie Tax Rates) that are released as part of the IRD budget in December.
