Version 79.0 additional updates

Version 79.0 update, September 16th, 2023

  • The new Maksuvahti reminder and collection service with automatic payment monitoring is integrated into the Procountor. With the service, you can repatriate open receivables efficiently and easily so that the customer relationship is maintained despite current payment difficulties. With Maksuvahti's automatic payment monitoring, you can automate the reminder of unpaid invoices. With timely reminders, it is possible to ensure the repatriation of receivables as quickly as possible. The service has been implemented together with our partner Kravia Finland Oy and is available directly from Procountor.
    The onboarding of the Maksuvahti-service is started in Procountor on the Management Company info Debt collection settings view by setting Maksuvahti (Kravia) as the collection partner.
    The overdue sales invoice is transferred to the Maksuvahti reminder service in Procountor's Payment reminder -function with the "Start Maksuvahti service" button. Overdue sales invoices can also be transferred to Maksuvahti automatically. 
    Please note that we have moved all debt collection settings from Management Company info Usage settings to a new view Management Company info Debt collection settings.
  • After September release users have access to new User Rights Management view where it will be easier to manage users and their rights. The new view offers tools for filtering users in the list by their rights and and has overall refreshed outlook. User rights are also in a new order to better group user rights settings and to make it easier to find related settings. New view also prevents settings combinations that might occur by accident and prevents users working in Procountor.

 

Version 78.0 update, August 19th, 2023

  • Bank of Finland has changed the penalty interest rate for the second half of 2023 (1.7.-31.12.2023). Previously the penalty interest rate was 10,5%. The new penalty interest rate applicable to commercial contracts is 12 %. New penalty interest rate 12% is now updated to Procountor.
  • We have made it possible to customize percentages which are used for Percentage holiday pay. The calculation basis is based on percentage holiday pay which is calculated from the cumulative earning earned during the holiday credit year. Percentages and salary types which affect the cumulative earnings can be defined in Management Salary info Holiday pay settings (collective agreements) view after creation of new collective agreement. When creating a new collective agreement where calculation basis Percentage is selected, software will show pre-filled percentages 9% for under one year employment and 11,5% for over one year employment. At this point it’s possible to edit these percentages. Percentages are not editable anymore once the collective agreement has been created. Paying holiday pay is done with already existing salary type 2208 Holiday pay, percentage (automated calc.) and by using Holiday pay-button. Correcting holiday pay is done by using Holiday correction button.
  • We have created two new salary types: 1521 Commission 2 (duplicate for salary type 1520). 1496 Other regular compensation 2 (duplicate for salary type 1495).
  • On Accounting Balance sheet itemisation -view, user still needed to click 'Update reporting database' button to get the up-to-date values to the view. We have now removed the 'Update reporting database' -button from the view as the view automatically updates the real time values when loading the view.
