Open Recent Company Files 
If you have more than one Company File, switching between them is now easier and faster. Open a different company while in an existing file or from the Welcome window by selecting Recents under the File menu in AccountEdge, then select from the 10 most recent Company Files. Company Files will be listed by their file name. 

  

Allow Text as a Check Number 
We’ve made it easier to record ATM, Venmo, PayPal or other direct withdrawals from your banking accounts. Now you can use letters in the Check # field instead of numbers. For example, if you use your ATM card to make withdrawals, when you record those transactions in the Spend Money window you can use “ATM” as the Check #. Any text entered will not be checked for duplicates making repeated transactions easier to record. 

  

Making Copies 
When copying an invoice we’ll pre-populate the default customer name onto the new sales transaction. When copying a bill we’ll pre-populate the default vendor name onto the new purchase transaction.

New Sales Tax Features 
Need to report and file sales tax in multiple states? Our new set of sales tax reports let you filter by state, choose all states, and include sales without a state associated with them. 

Quickly analyze your state-by-state sales to see in which states you need to file taxes with these new reports: 

  • Sales Tax by State Summary 
  • Sales Tax by State Detail 
  • Sales Tax by State Summary (Cash) 
  • Sales Tax by State Detail (Cash) 

 

Longer Tax Codes 
It’s easier to manage your tax requirements with longer tax codes. If you have many sales tax regions and codes to keep tabs on, we’ve extended the character limit to 10 characters, which will even let you name your tax codes for more easier identification. 

  

Tax Code Default per Card Address 
Assign a unique tax code to each of the five available address records on customer and vendor cards. This way, if you are shipping to an address that is taxed differently, the appropriate tax code will populate your sales and purchases. By default, the tax code you have associated with a customer or vendor will automatically be applied to all five addresses. 

  

Use Tax 
Depending on where you live, you may be required to track and pay sales tax on purchases where a vendor did not apply tax on that purchase. This type of tax code doesn’t add tax to the transaction, but tracks the tax that you would owe for Use Tax. Sales tax reports include a new section that breaks out purchases for which you may owe Use Tax. 

  

Sales Tax Report Tab 
All sales tax reports have moved to their own unique Sales Tax tab in the Index to Reports, making it easier to find and manage all fourteen reports. 

  

Tax Exception Report 
Find mistakes on transactions where tax has been applied incorrectly with the Tax Exception report. This report lists where you (or someone else using AccountEdge) changed the tax code on sales and purchases transactions. 

  

Transaction Tax Codes Report 
Identify transactions whose tax code changed from the default, grouped by income account, on a line-by-line basis. This report shows the debits and credits to each account –– by line –– and the entered and default tax code used. 

  

Tax Information Reconciliation Detail and Summary Reports 
If a transaction was created mistakenly using the tax liability account, this report compares tax collected to the linked sales tax liability account for a given period of time to identify any discrepancies. 

  

Online Customer Orders (AccountEdge Connect) 
Customers can place a Sales Order via AccountEdge Connect’s customer portal. You can use the Connect to choose which items are available, which customers are permitted to place sales orders, and require a credit card payment or other payment option. Price levels, quantity discounts, and customer item discounts are automatically applied based on the customer and item being sold. 

  

Mass Emailing of Statements (AccountEdge Connect) 
Send customizable statements to customers by group. Email those with overdue balances, or those overdue by a chosen number of days. And if you process credit card payments, using the customer portal will send customers an email with a Pay Now button included for easier customer payments. 

  

Customer Payment Details Report 
Track down payments and determine which invoices a customer paid off with the new Customer Payment Details report. It lists each payment received and which sale the payment was applied to, across a date range. Filter by date, customer, amount, payment ID Number, and many other fields. 

  

Vendor Payments Details Report 
Similar to the Customer Payment Detail report, this new report lists payments which you have made to Vendors, and includes which Bills the payment was applied to. Filter by date range, vendor, session date, Check/Trans ID number, amount range, and more. 

  

Default Forms Setup 
Set default forms of your choosing for transactions such as Quotes, Orders, Invoices, and more. 

  

Past Due Stamp 
A new custom field called Past Due stamp is available on sales forms. Add this field to your form and print or email an invoice. If the sale is overdue according to the terms you have set up for the customer, the new Past Due stamp appears on the form. This is a great way to resend overdue invoices to let the customer know they need to make a (late) payment. 

  

Custom Phone Field Labels 
Assign labels to specific contact numbers in the Card File. Choose from Mobile, Home, Work, or create your own label to help differentiate numbers on a contact card. 

  

Shipping Fields for Forms 
Add additional fields to your sales forms including invoices, orders, and packing slips to include shipping information. These fields correspond to those in the Shipping Details window on a sale. The new fields include are: 

  • Sales Tax by State Summary 
  • Sales Tax by State Detail 
  • Sales Tax by State Summary (Cash) 
  • Sales Tax by State Detail (Cash) 

 

To Do List Stock Alert 
Easily reorder low inventory from the Stock tab. Found in the To Do List, see items that are in need of reorder by Item Name and Item Number. 

  

Faster Loading of the Find Transactions and Items Register Windows 
The Find Transaction window and the Items Register both load twice as fast in AccountEdge 2020, which will be welcome news for businesses that with large items lists, lots of inventory-related transactions, and/or otherwise have large company files. 

  

2020 W-4 Changes 
For 2020 a new checkbox for W-4 Step 2 is included on Employee payroll records on the Employee Payroll Detail Taxes tab. This new option is for those who have a second job or a spouse with a job. Once checked, a different set of tax tables/formulas are used for Federal taxes. 

  

2019 

Save Custom Notes on Sales and Purchases 
The Notes that you add to Sales and Purchases can now be saved for future use, and optionally printed on your forms. For example, if you add standard language like Terms and Conditions to many transactions, just add the Notes field to your custom forms to have these notes on your printed or PDF sales and purchases.

Sales Tax Rate Out to 5 Decimals 
Sales Tax Rates can be set to 5 decimals to support states that are implementing longer sales tax rates. 

  

Filter on Last Transaction Date 
If you’re looking for a list of customers with whom you haven’t done business since a certain date, you can now filter in the Card File for a payment or a sale by the last transaction date. You can also find lapsed customers by filtering on the Card List Detail and Summary reports, and within the Email function in the Card File Command Center for sending emails or promotions. The filter is also available on a vendor’s last transaction date for a payment or a purchase.

Reports include: Gross Profit Margin Ratio, Operating Profit Ratio, Net Profit to Sales Ratio, Accounts Receivable Days, Accounts Payable Days, Current Ratio and Profitability Ratios. 

  

Customer Portal 
The Customer Portal is a web site where your customers can log in to view their open receivables, make credit card payments against open sales, update their credit card information, view online payment history, and if you allow, apply available credits to open invoices. If you have an AccountEdge Merchant Account, your customers can pay you online in the customizable Portal. Otherwise, they can view their open receivables. 

  

Process Credit Cards in Bulk 
Easily process credit cards in bulk using AccountEdge Connect. From the new Bulk Payments window, view all open receivables and invoices (from desktop or Connect) and manage all aspects of bulk processing. No more authorizing each credit card payment one by one by one. Save hours by Approving All payments, then hitting a single button to process all payments. Send bulk email payment confirmations and handle the inevitable failed payments or expiring credit cards with bulk email capabilities as well. You can update credit cards yourself, or your customers can update their own credit cards through the Customer Portal. 

  

Recurring Billing 
This is your go-to feature for creating multiple invoices on a schedule to be automatically recorded in bulk. These sales can be identical across customers or may contain services or items that vary in amount or quantity by month. AccountEdge Connect makes it easy to create and manage your recurring invoices with a Recurring Sales window that displays all of your recurring sales by customer, along with their items and quantities.

1099 preparation made easier 

  • Filter by 1099 Category (e.g. Royalty, Rent) when preparing 1099s 
  • Filter by amount range when choosing vendors for 1099 printing to limit 1099s to those that are required (e.g. those over $600) 
  • Total 1099-Misc Payments amount and the number of vendors selected is now viewable on the Review 1099/1096 window to review prior to printing 
  • After printing 1099s, your filters and selections will be carried over to prepare your 1096 form 
  • 1099 Final Information report contains the 1099 details by vendor 

 

Shopify inventory sync 
Now sync inventory levels with Shopify. Allocate a quantity that you wish to reserve for AccountEdge to ensure you have stock on-hand locally and then allocate an amount to sell on Shopify. 

  

Job reporting & splitting jobs 
Allocate an amount to multiple jobs on a single transaction line. For example, pay your lawn care bill and allocate a portion of your payment to each of your properties. Allocate across multiple jobs by amount or percent. 

  

Invoice & Purchase PDF naming 
When emailing sales and purchases, PDF attachment file names will now reference the invoice and purchase numbers (instead of eSale.pdf). 

  

Departments on time sheets 
Allocate employee time/cost to departments via Time Sheets. Also split the time between multiple departments. The department allocations will flow to Process Payroll and can be saved and split within Recurring Pay. 

  

Split Departments by Percentage 
When allocating a line to a department you will now be able to split the amount using a percentage vs needing to calculate each dollar amount. 

  

Adding Vendors to Invoices as a Salesperson 
If you hire subcontractors to perform a sales role, you now have the option to include vendors in the Salesperson list when creating sales. On a Vendor card you can select (under Card Details) the Commissionable Salesperson check box. Even if you're not using the Commission feature in AccountEdge, you can check this box so that you can select this vendor as a salesperson on a sale. 

  

Logging Out Active Users (AccountEdge Network Edition Only) 
Administrator users can now view active users in a company file and log them out gracefully. This is helpful if a user’s computer falls asleep while connected to a company file, when you might need to perform a single user task like starting a new fiscal year or if you can't turn off FileConnect because users are still connected. This is performed via File/Active Workstations (by an administrator user only). 

  

Transaction Journal - All Transactions Faster 
The "All" tab in the Transaction Journal has been optimized to generate faster when viewing All Transactions. 

  

Import/Export Transactions with Split Multiple Department/Job Allocations 
Transactions that have lines split between multiple jobs or departments can now be imported/exported. 

  

Consolidated Journal Entries 
When recording sales and purchases, journal entry lines will be consolidated into a single line (when the same account is being used). If different jobs are used, the term "Split” is displayed to indicate that the line covers multiple jobs. The result is smaller journal entries, especially with long sales with multiple lines, which in turn decreases company file size over time. 

  

2014

Plus, rules can be created to look for and match transactions. 

  

Batch Delete

Multiple billing rates 
Create a matrix of billing rates, by activity, employee, and customer, so that you can charge different rates for the same activity. For example, you can use custom billing rates to set up rate schedules based on employee seniority. 

  

New command center 
While retaining the familiar flow chart layout, the new Side Bar and additional menus, Sync and Lists, make it easier to read and navigate your company file. 

  

Side bar 
The Side Bar lets you get to recently visited places in AccountEdge. Create a Favorites list for one-click access to your most used windows.

You can access company file maintenance without having to open the company file, and navigate to support tools directly. The new RSS feed gives up-to-the-minute news on product updates and new releases. 

  

New billing statement invoice type 
Make it easier for your customers to see where they stand with AccountEdge’s new billing statement invoice. Four new invoices include statement details like current and ending balance and an invoice aging statement. Overdue invoices are aged as of the print date of the invoice. 

  

Restore company file 
Restore a company file without having to open it in AccountEdge first. Use the new Company File Maintenance drop-down menu in the welcome window to restore your company file. 

  

Dropbox backup/restore 
Back up online and offsite with a free Dropbox account. Former MobileMe customers may consider using Dropbox in replacement for Apple's discontinued iDisk. 

  

Streamline your invoicing 
Use the new Statements with Invoice Details to send a single monthly statement that includes the detail of each invoice. An item statement will show each item with cost, and a service or professional will show each description with cost. 

  

Longer statement descriptions 
The description fields on statements now wrap and show the entire text from memo fields. 

  

Expanded amount in English on checks 
We’ve improved how AccountEdge prints checks with amounts over $100,000 written out in English, rather than numerically. 

  

Updated Start a New Year assistants 
The Start a New Fiscal Year and Start a New Payroll Year assistants have new, easier to read layouts for better usability. You can also choose to retain or purge prior year Progress Billing information. 

  

2011 

Progress billing 
Contractors, architects, engineering firms, and others that bill by project or job can now bill as work is completed. Bill by percentage of the total quote, percentage of each line item, quantity, rate, and more and AccountEdge will manage the invoicing of the entire project from start to finish. You can even bill in excess of 100% of the original quote for overages, change orders, and expenses. 

  

Retainers 
Lawyers, graphic designers, and others that need to manage retainers can create and maintain retainers the way they want to. Set up and manage retainers in AccountEdge, keep a minimum retainer balance, and add expenses to a retainer to pay bills on behalf of clients. Request replenishment, receive payments, and print custom retainer statements with a single click. 

  

Create an invoice from a purchase 
If you regularly incur expenses on behalf of your customers, kill two birds with one stone by recording a purchase for the original cost of the expense, and then automatically creating an invoice to bill your customer’s retainer account. 

  

Updated search on select from list 
We’ve heard you loud and clear and reinstated the old way of searching through lists, while keeping the “starts with” and “contains” method introduced in AccountEdge 2010. Search by any text string, or modify your search by specific field. 

  

Sales and purchases action buttons 
Frequently used functions are quickly accessed with the new action button that appears on sales and purchases windows. Click the button to open a simple drop down menu that lets you quickly use or save a recurring transaction, change exchange rates, and much more. 

  

Increased description, note, and email message field size 
No more abbreviated notes, descriptions or emails in AccountEdge. We’ve increased field sizes for descriptions, notes and email messages to 1000 characters. 

  

Check redesign looks more like paper counterpart 
AccountEdge’s check interface has been redesigned to be more in line with printed checks. 

  

Reconciled date on account history report
