CAPITAL V8, Release 8.1 Available Now!

CAPITAL Office Business Software is pleased to announce that CAPITAL V8, Release 8.1 is available for general download for users with service cover.

Highlights of CAPITAL V8 Release 8.1 include:

  • The Import Customer Transactions interface is a new more powerful system for importing customer, sales and payment transactions from external systems such as other business applications and websites.

  • It is now possible to list supplier and cashbook allocations by tax code, GL or expense code, transaction number, date and amount. To view transaction allocations open the Suppliers area, click on the Overview vertical tab, and then click on the Allocations tab at the top of the window.

  • Transaction Crash Recovery is a new feature that saves your transaction data input every 60 seconds automatically in the background. In the event that your computer crashes or is disconnected from your network, any data input work you have made but not yet saved, can be recovered automatically. When returning to the transaction entry area, if a recoverable backup file exists, you will be prompted to recover your input work. For Transaction Crash Recovery to work successfully, you must log back into the same computer or session where the failure occurred, as back-up files are stored in your personal data folder.

  • Dramatically Improved software presentation and design.

  • Upgraded grid control presentation and functionality throughout the system. Nearly all grids now permit the addition and removal of columns. Column arrangements can now be saved by user preference in nearly all areas. The sorting of information can also be changed by clicking on selected column headings.

CAPITAL Series 7, Release 7.6 Available Now!

CAPITAL Office Business Software is pleased to announce that CAPITAL 7.6 (the final release for Series 7) is available for general download for users who have service cover from March 28th, 2008. After Series 7 the new CAPITAL V8 Editions will be rolled out gradually over the remainder of the year.

Highlights of CAPITAL 7.6 include:

  • CAPITAL Office now offers several choices on how tax related expenses are tracked within the system. The Fast Recording Method is equivalent to previous versions of CAPITAL with certain enhancements and short-cuts. The new Detailed Audit Method is useful when your tax recording requirements are more complex. Relevant tax reports have also been updated or added to the system.

  • Live posting of accounting journals to the general ledger (Corporate Edition).

    LivePost does not create or update general ledger system batches but posts journal balances directly to CAPITAL GL Controller, the general ledger. This feature is useful if you wish to frequently view general ledger balance and print financial statements throughout the period, since there is no longer a need (when operating in this mode) to run the End Period Wizard, or review and post automatically generated system journal batches.

  • The Cost Price Out Of Date feature provides active feedback to users on the status of cost prices during invoice, sales order and quotation entry. If a cost price is too old, users will be warned to confirm the price. The Cost Price Out Of Date warning feature automatically checks the last purchase date, considers fixed or agreed pricing where applicable, and allows operators to automatically or manually confirm that pricing has been checked even if no purchases have recently taken place.

  • Information on customer debt and payment commitments can now be placed inside a 'Debt Collection Notepad' found in the Customer's area under the View menu. Any information placed in this note pad will be transferred beneath the relevant entries on applicable reports, such the Customer Account Balances Report. Debt related notes can also be reviewed during payment entry.

  • A new transaction type has been introduced in the Corporate Edition release of CAPITAL called 'Return Authority.' These transactions manage the return of goods from your customers.

  • For cashbook and supplier transactions detailed reference information (narrations) may now be stored against any invoice or payment. Narrations may contain an unlimited amount of text notes.

  • Supplier transaction information such as date, reference, payment allocations, etc., may now be viewed in detail even if the operator does not have edit rights for the transaction (although the transaction may not be changed without sufficient security clearance).

  • The tax component of a supplier invoice can be suggested for you automatically, based on the invoice total.

  • You may now add a transaction and enter its related payment immediately. This short-cut allows you to enter an invoice and its payment in one step.

  • You may add a transaction and copy its details into subsequent transactions during data entry. This allows you to enter similar transactions for the same or different accounts very quickly.

  • Supplier transactions may now be saved as templates. A template is a copy of the basic elements of a transaction. Using them allows you to enter similar or repetitive transactions quickly. For example, if you are always entering a phone bill into the system from the same supplier, with the same expense allocations, saving the transaction as a template means that you do not have to enter the same basic details repeatedly.

  • Customer Mailing List Letters now support bulk email and fax output when the CAPITAL Electronic Document Exchange Component is installed.

  • Improved customer and suppler payment allocation windows.

  • Improved integration with web based faxing services (Requires Electronic Document Exchange Component)

  • A new category of customer price rule, called the default price rule, has been added to Customer Special Pricing. Default price rules are similar to global price rules, except they are checked last instead of first. This is useful for defining default pricing conditions for multiple customer price groupings.

  • Those CAPITAL standard reports that can be saved as data files of various types, can now also be saved as Excel spreadsheets (.XLS format). Stocktake exports can also be saved as Excel spreadsheets. (There is no longer the need to transfer the report into Excel first.)

  • You may now selectively print multiple individual invoice transactions using the Transaction Printing utility by marking them as 'special' and ticking the 'Special Only' setting before printing.

  • You may now select to sort transactions by account code, transaction number, carrier, department, date and many other criteria when printing using the Transaction Printing utility.

  • In addition to the user defined field BARCODE, the Extended Transaction Searches feature will now also search the fields BARCODE0 through to BARCODE9, if they exist. When attempting to match a product code during transaction entry, the system can now search up to 14 product code cross-references per stock item simultaneously until it finds a match.

  • Various enhancements and improvements through-out the application suite.

Over 70 help topics in the help system have been updated to cover the improvements made in the new version. The full list of new features is found in the What's New Help Topic within the CAPITAL help system.
