Symbols within Descriptions of Invoices/Credit Notes will now be exported to the KFI file, where they were previously being stripped out and removed. The only symbols that will continue to be removed are as follows:

Companies exporting to EU based Suppliers can do so as normal now, once they have set the Goods/Service setting within Accountancy Software > Sage Business Cloud Settings. The chosen setting will populate on each line of the exported invoice, whereas previously these were failing to export.

Companies based in Australia will see the Posting Period export with the correct date/time moving forward. Previously, if an export was made early in AU morning to a Netsuite account based in the US, the date was populating in the previous day, as it was still the previous day in the US.

Companies using Expenses with Export PDF Attachments enabled will see the Expense Report PDF appear alongside their documents within the Document app.

Recently, Microsoft had flagged an element in some of our emails as spam, which was blocking certain companies from receiving Approval Task Emails - this has since been resolved and emails will be sent and received as normal moving forward.

Some users were being randomly logged out from Lightyear when they did certain actions across various areas - this has been resolved and it shouldn't happen moving forward.

Some accounts with Keyword Rules enabled were not seeing their Purchase Orders automatically moving through to the Purchase Orders workflow after successfully finding a map. This has now been resolved and any POs uploaded and mapped moving forward will move as expected.

If you are connected to Education Finance/Education Purchasing, any new Supplier Imports will update the Orders Email within Lightyear using the Email set within Education Finance.

To align with the new style of the Accountancy Software page, we have updated Inventory Software to match. You can see the new style within Inventory Software once you have select an option from the dropdown list.

One of our most popular requests has now gone live!

If you are an Admin in any Lightyear account, you can update and adjust the Communication Preferences of the other users in your account, meaning you can enable Approval Task Email Notifications for your Task Approvers on behalf of them.

Previously, users had to log into Lightyear and enable these for themselves, but now they don't have to log in and can approve tasks from their emails from the get go.

This functionality also covers Marketing updates, Activity Notifications and Expense Report Status Changes.

To update this for your users, head over to Users, click Edit on anyone and scroll to the bottom of the page.

Continuing with our efforts to update Lightyear to make it easier to navigate, we have made some visual changes to the Accountancy Software area.

After:

As you may be aware if you're using Netsuite, Sage Intacct or Microsoft Business Central, a few months back we released the ability to enable more than two categories within your Lightyear account, giving you the ability to manually code your documents within Lightyear before export.

Now, with this latest release, you can use the Keyword Rule feature to automatically code all categories enabled to any bill/credit note that is received into Lightyear.
