Accounting Master 20.2 Highlights

By Stacie Finken, Accounting Master Product Owner

The Accounting Master Team is excited to roll out another batch of powerful enhancements in version 20.2, our fall release. Efficiency is again our focus as we’ve improved the usability of our accounts receivable module, boosted integration capabilities through the AM/CM Premise Equipment Interface, and gave your employees more control of their task hours in TMS. Read the rest of the article for complete details.

AR Customer Inquiry
Accounts Receivable Customer information is used for sales transactions, payments, and sales reporting. Enhancements have been added to the Customer screen providing an inquiry view of a customer’s balances, invoices, and statements. A new Customer icon was added to the Sales ribbon, providing quick access to customer information. When accessed, new icons are available from the toolbar to access the selected customer’s AR Balance, AR Customer Inquiry, and Customer Statement History.

Credit Card Payments for AR Invoices
MACC has enhanced payments by adding one-time credit card processing to Accounts Receivable Payments. This enhancement provides a link to the CDS Global portal and the ability to manage true credit card payments within Accounting Master. Companies utilizing credit card processing with CDS Global will need to contact their Software Support Representative for activation. Companies that aren’t already utilizing credit card processing with Customer Master will need to contact their Client Relations or Account Manager for credit card activation.

AM/CM Premise Equipment Interface
Companies need the ability to manage premise equipment at the customer’s location. Due to this increasing need, MACC has added the new Premise Equipment Interface, which allows users to assign equipment to network addresses. This improvement provides the ability to transfer designated premise equipment items directly from Accounting Master Inventory to the service address in Customer Master to deliver a seamless equipment process.

Inventory Manual Transaction Attachments
Electronic documents can now be linked to inventory transactions through the Manual Transaction screen. Similar to other attachment processes, users must first establish an EDocs Location from the Electronic Documents maintenance menu. Attachments can be added and/or viewed in the system from the Manual Transaction Screen, Inventory Transaction Search, and Inventory Transaction Listing report. Additionally, inventory transaction attachments can also be scanned and viewed via MACC Mobile.

TMS Time Clock Task Hours
Previously, Time Clock was added to TMS in effort to help companies with employee time management. Time Clock allows employees to clock in and out, track meal times, and provides edit options to managers when needed. Companies are able to select which employees will utilize Time Clock and choose a rounding option for time entry. MACC has enhanced Time Clock by giving users the ability to task hours to different GL account/distribution codes and edit clocked time as needed.
