Complete 22.1 Accounting Master Highlights

by MACC’s Product Team

The MACC Team is currently upgrading Accounting Master companies to version 22.1. Like all new versions of Accounting Master, 22.1 is packed with useful new enhancements. One worth noting is the applicant tracking feature. As finding and hiring new employees is challenging right now, we hope this new feature makes the hiring process easier for your company.

Federal Withholding
A new option was added to Accounts Payable invoices to Deduct Federal Withholding. Federal Income Tax can be withheld from any Accounts Payable Invoice designated to receive some type of MISC 1099 or NEC 1099. The Federal Withholding Amount will be included during Accounts Payable Batch Posting, all Payment processes, and the 1099 tax form process. The Accounts Payable reports were updated to include federal withholding details. The 1099 Listing Report (AP) was updated to include the Federal Withholding Amount in Box 4 and Boxes 15-17 were added for the State Withholding Amounts to report when a 1099 Type of 1099-Misc or 1099-NEC is selected.

Applicant Tracking
Managing applications efficiently is necessary during the hiring process. Due to this increasing need, MACC has added the new HR Applicant Tracking tool allowing users to manage Job Openings/Applicants more efficiently. The Job Opening/Applicant tracking screen is accessible from the Payroll ribbon or the Human Resources Suite. The Job Opening/Applicant screen allows management-level users to enter open positions, applicant details, and the activity status of the applicant. Users will have the option to convert an applicant to an employee by highlighting the Applicant and right-clicking to select Convert Applicant to Employee Using Workflow. This option will only be enabled for applicants who have a current status of Offer Accepted and their social security number does not already exist as an employee at the company. When this option is selected, the Workflow screen will appear and be populated with the selected applicant.

Inventory Item Bundle
MACC continues to strengthen inventory functions to improve efficiency. Previously, the Inventory Bundle option was added to the Item’s (Inventory) screen. This function allowed users to bundle inventory and non-inventory items together for purchasing purposes. Now users will have the ability to bundle inventory items together and stock them as bundled items for resale or issue them through Nii/Premise Equipment interfaces. When the Bundle option is checked, the user can select which type of bundle the item will be used for: Purchase (used for a purchase order) or Stock/Sale (used for resale).

A new Bundle Management icon was added to the Manual Transaction header. When accessed, it will allow users to process Stock/Sale bundle options. Stock/Sale bundles will be available for AM/CM Nii and Premise Equipment interface issue transactions. When performing a Nii AM Inventory transaction, or POS, or Premise Equipment transaction, stock/sale bundles are available for selection. Once a bundle is selected and added to the AM Inventory grid, the bundle items will be listed as individual items. Users will be allowed to return the entire bundle or an individual item within the bundle. Stock/Sale Bundle Items can be included when generating Cycle Counts. When performing Inventory Reconcile and Post, stock/sale bundles are applied for reconciliation and posting. Bundle items will be included and indicated on Inventory reports.

Journal Entry Detail Report
A new option, Include Posted By and Actual JE Date in CSV File, was added to the Journal Entry Detail Report. When checked, it will include the original user details and the entry date of the journal entries when the report is exported to CSV format. This enhancement provides additional information related to the report criteria selection for journal entries.
