Data Filters

  • The default = Complete status is flagged as an accounting status.

Point of Sale (PoS) Enhancements

Withholding Tax Enhancements (Thailand)

BOS now fully supports the Thailand Withholding Tax (WHT) model. You can set the WHT % and amount on Invoices and use an action on the Payment transaction to calculate the WHT due for a Payment. Note: You must send your suppliers a certificate when WHT is deducted.

Customers/Suppliers: The customer and supplier attributes set includes a field to select the WHT account applicable to them. The accounts differ if they are individuals, companies, or government agencies.

Transaction Settings > Accounting – Enable Withholding Tax: Options are:

  • N/A (Default)
  • Invoice: Select for Customer and Supplier Invoices.
  • Payment: Select for Customer and Supplier Payments. 

Invoice Transactions: The WHT% and WHT (amount) is displayed in Transaction Items with Batch Update functionality. This is a manual process.

Payment Transactions: An Action > Calculate Withholding Tax (WHT) is added to the dropdown menu of the Allocation menu as well as the Actions button dropdown menu on the Allocations form. This action calculates the WHT on all the Invoices that are allocated in full and adds it to the Payment Transaction. The WHT amount is deducted from the Payment item.

Tax Reconciliation (New Module)

This module is used to reconcile the tax due for a selected period. It is a standalone module which does not directly update Accounting.

When a Transaction Item is linked to a Tax Recon, the Transaction becomes read-only (Note. We don’t have a notification on the Transaction to indicate why it is read-only yet.)

The following tax Types are supported:

  • WHT Payable: Reconciles the amounts you withheld that are payable monthly. (The WHT Account is Credited with the amounts withheld, debited with the payment.)
  • WHT Offset: Reconciles the amounts deducted from your invoices over the financial year which can be deducted from taxable income. (WHT Account is Debited),
  • VAT: Standard Invoiced-based model.

Note: The WHT Types are enabled if a Transaction Type has a linked Enable WHT setting.

If WHT is not enabled, the module name reverts to VAT Reconciliation.

General Settings > Accounting

  • Exclude Transaction Types from VAT Reconciliation: Select one or more transaction types.
  • VAT Reporting Frequency (Months): Enter the number of months.

Menu: Add Tax Reconciliation to a Menu Group.

Other Settings: List View > Menu (button)

Add Items Filters

  • Zero-VAT: Shows items with 0 VAT like Exempt or Zero-rated.

Data Pipelines

The following Data Pipelines were added:

  • tax_recon_items
  • tax_recon_entity
  • tax_recon_sum_accounts
  • tax_recon_sum_transactions

Fixes

  • Fixed: Inventory Replenishment: The ‘On Order’ filter was not working correctly. The ‘Cost Price’ was blank.
  • Fixed: Items > Add Cost Price: The ‘Price From’ field was assigned to Costing when the Item was not an Assembly or a Costing. 
  • Fixed: Items > Pricing: The ‘Price From’ lookup was not refreshing after, say, a Sell Price was added to a new item.
  • Fixed: Items > Batch Update > Categories: The lookup displayed Groups as well as Categories – Items can only link to the Categories that don’t have child items.

  • Fixed: Transactions > Proposals: The Output did not support the Transaction Language.

  • Transaction Types > Output – ‘Document Designer’ is no longer an Output option.

Ver 1.0.80

Enhancements

Look and Feel: The Status bar was modified to show colour in the Status field and a small rectangle on the right of the bar. This change is not just for aesthetics; it simplifies how the layout control works.

Items Enhancements

The Assembly (ASM) type now also supports Fixed Cost / Fixed Price. For example, you can create a costing for 1 Each: The Fixed Cost/Unit Cost is updated from the Costing, and the Fixed Sell/Unit Sell is updated from the Cost Price. When this item is added to a transaction that uses the sell price, the quantity effectively determines the Unit Price.

The List View > Action > Add Sell Price was updated so that you can add Sell Price by Currency – The Action will only add 1 Sell Price per Currency. You can select from Currencies in the database. Reminder: Cost Price is locked to the local Currency.

Inventory Summary: The Replenish filter was removed. This report now only allows you to check current stock and update Min Qty and Unit Price. A new Replenishment report was created (see below)

Attachments – IMAGE was added to the Name lookup list.

Point of Sale (PoS) Enhancements

You now can Clock Out all Users without ending a PoS session. For example, when a small shop has one staff member and they close the shop for lunch.

Functionality was added to open a Cash Drawer. Edit PoS. A Cash Drawer button was added to open the cash drawer.

(Tech Note: This functionality is hard-coded and tested on an Epson ™-T88V slip printer. The Cash Drawer is linked to the printer with an RJ11 cable and the command to open the Cash Drawer is sent via the printer. The Printer can also open the Cash Drawer when a print command is received – this is set up in Windows > Devices > [Select Printer]. If this functionality does not work on other printers, we will add settings to user-define the command.)

Inventory Replenishment (New Functionality)

This functionality is enabled using Transaction Setting > Inventory > Enable Inventory Replenishment. The options are:

  • N/A (Default)
  • Produce: The Transaction is used to produce Stock e.g. Work Order
  • Purchase: The Transaction is used to purchase Stock e.g. Purchase Order

A new Inventory – Replenishment module was created which you can optionally add to the Menu or open using an action from the Produce/Purchase module.

The Unit Price column in Inventory modules was renamed to Stock Price.

Inventory – Replenishment (Module)

This module displays Items that are due for replenishment as follows.

  • Min Qty – Available Qty – On Order Qty > 0

Items can be dragged from this module and dropped on a Purchase Order or a Work Order module. The Order Qty is assigned to the Purchase/Produce transaction. The Receiving Transaction must be in an editable Status.

Reminder: Inventory is linked to the Base Unit. The Convert Qty is used to display Inventory in other Units.

Data Filters:

  • Category: Item Category
  • Location: Inventory Location
  • Replenish: Select from:
    • Produce: Assembly (ASM) Items with a Cost Price are selected. The Unit is locked to Costing.
    • Purchase: Material Items with a Supplier Price are selected. Includes all Material types, including ASM (e.g. some items can be purchased or produced). All the Supplier Prices linked to the Item are displayed. Unit filter is locked to Purchase.
  • Unit – Select from:
    • All
    • Base: Base Unit only – reminder: Only 1 Base Unit allowed per Item
    • Purchase: Units linked to Supplier Price
    • Costing: Costing Unit only – reminder: Only 1 Base Unit allowed per Item
  • Status: Item Status
  • Supplier: Applicable when Replenishment = Purchase.
  • On Order: When checked Items that were replenished but are still On Order are displayed.

Actions:

  • Batch Update: Min Qty, Order Qty, Stock Price.
  • Update Order Qty: Min Qty – Available Qty (Includes On Order)
    • Note: You can execute this action on multiple selected records and then edit the column afterwards.

Editable Columns:

  • Min Qty
  • Order Qty
  • Stock Price

Inventory – Replenishment (Produce Transaction – e.g. Work Order)

Actions > View Items Due for Replenishment = Produce: This Action opens the Inventory Replenishment module and sets the filters to:

  • Replenish = Produce 
  • Unit = Costing

Inventory – Replenishment (Purchase Transaction – e.g. Purchase Order)

Actions > View Items Due for Replenishment = Purchase: This Action opens the Inventory Replenishment module and sets the filters to:

  • Replenish = Purchase
  • Unit = Purchase
  • Supplier = Supplier on Transaction

Fixes

  • Fixed: Timekeeping – you couldn’t clear the Start or End Time because it reverted to zero instead of null.
  • Fixed: Service Types – An error was returned when you Output a Project. 
  • Fixed: Items > Substrates – You could change the Base Unit on a substrate Item (e.g. after adding a new unit).
  • Fixed: Items > Pricing – The Actions to Add Cost/Sell Prices was displayed in the Pricing module.
  • Fixed: Items – You could update the Inventory setting on a translation. Reminder: Translations should only allow text fields to be edited.
  • Fixed: Transactions – If the Status > Editing setting = Edit Status Only, you could edit the transaction Status even if your User Access did not allow editing.
