February's version updates

Version 98.0, 15.2.2025

Changes to the Payment View

  • It will no longer be possible to change the recipient's account number or name in the Invoice's Payment view. The change applies to all types of receipt to be paid.

  • The change has been made to ensure that any changes to the recipient's account number are made at an earlier stage, such as during invoice verification. This ensures that the payment goes to the correct place.

  • The change also clarifies user roles and rights: approvers / verifiers are responsible for checking the accuracy of the information, including payment details. Similarly, users who do not have the rights to edit invoice details will not be able to edit payment details in the future.

How can the account number be edited in the future?

  • Editing the account number requires that the receipt is editable and that the user has the rights to edit it. For example, in the case of purchase invoices, any corrections are made at the stage when the invoice has not yet been verified / approved.

  • if the account number is incorrect and this is only noticed during the payment stage, the invoice should be returned to the Unfinished state or returned to the previous verifier who has the right to change the account number. 
  • In the previous release, we already added the account number to the Verification view, where it is easy to confirm the correctness of the account number during the verification stage.

User can save a signed Balance sheet itemisation -report to archive

  • In this version we have added Export from file to archive button to Balance sheet itemisation -view. The function is financial year specific.
  • With this button, you can save a signed PDF balance sheet itemisation -report from your own file to Procountor's archive.

Income Tax Return Forms 5 and 6A for 2024

  • Income tax return forms 5 and 6A for 2024 have now been published.

Debt collection settings

  • There is now a new setting called Use external invoice number on the payment reminder letter in the Debt collection settings that shows the original invoice number on the payment reminder letters that are sent from Procountor.
  • When using the setting, the invoice number of the particular invoice that the debtor has received is displayed as the main invoice number and the Procountor invoice number is shown as Accounting invoice number.  

New VAT Rates for Slovakia Added to the VAT Rate Selection

  • VAT rates of 23% and 5% have been added to Slovakia's VAT rates.
  • These rates will be available to companies that have a special setting that allows the selection of foreign VAT rates in their own VAT rates.

Budget Year Added to Management Report

  • It is now clearer for the user to choose the right budget for comparison on the graphical management report. 
  • We added the year numbering for the content of the Budget - filter to make it more clear for the user to see, which budget is which. 

Most wanted improvements

  • An additional payment reminder attachment is no longer added to the invoice when the invoice is transferred to the Maksuvahti service. 
  • You can now choose not to select any specific collection costs product or penal expense product for the environment in the Debt collection settings, if you want so. 
  • We have improved fetching withholding percentages request in the Withholding percentages request view, and it is now working faster.

 

January's updates

Version 97.0, January 18th 2025

Changes related to the 2025 VAT update

New report: Employee data report

  • The new report allows you to retrieve personal information so that you get both personal register data and payroll-related information from the employee register on the same report. Read more about the new report.

New data fields on invoices: Buyer/Seller reference identifier

  • New optional data fields “Buyer reference identifier” and “Seller reference identifier” have been added to purchase invoices.
  • These fields have several useful purposes depending on the situation and the invoicer, for example: a reference related to the original order given by the buyer or seller; transmitting damage number information between the insurance company and the customer; identification information on credit card invoices.
  • The new data will be read from incoming (finvoice) e-invoices and displayed in these data fields.

More user-friendly filters for the register dimension report

  • The selection of filters for the register dimension report has been clarified so that you can easily see the choices you have made so far and what is included in the report. Thanks to these improvements, searching the report is smoother, and it is more unified with other graphical reports.

Recipient’s account number visible immediately in the Verification view

  • You can now see the recipient’s account number immediately when verifying/approving the invoice, without the need to go to the payment information separately.
  • The new “Recipient’s account number” field is visible in the Verification phase of invoices.

Changes to the 2025 self-assessed tax return

  • The self-assessed tax return will now only include fields relevant for the year 2025.
  • The changes are related to the updates announced by the Tax Administration, which have removed unnecessary fields related to lower limit reliefs. Additionally, the “Additional information” section has removed “cash-based VAT” due to changes in reporting cash-based VAT.

Improvements in the import of Finvoice e-invoices facilitate the accrual of invoices

  • The handling of delivery dates for imported Finvoice e-invoices has been improved, which makes is easier to accrue invoices using the accrual tool.
  • The information is transferred from the e-invoice data to the Delivery Dates fields on the purchase invoice accounting page.

Clarified Junior’s posting suggestions: only current posting suggestions visible in the widget

  • The posting suggestions visible on the front page related to Procountor Junior will now only show current suggestions for the current monitoring period.
  • This change will make it easier to review posting suggestions that require attention. However, please note that this change may mean a significant change in the number of posting suggestions in January (due to the removal of all possible old/untreated posting suggestions from closed periods).

New VAT rates for Estonia and Spain added to the VAT rate selection

  • VAT rates of 7% and 5% have been added to the VAT rates.

Reminder letter delivery channel

  • A new setting, Payment reminder channel, has been added to the debt collection settings. This setting is available only when Ropo Capital is selected as the debt collection partner. By default, the setting is enabled, which means that payment reminders are sent via the same channel as the original invoice. However, collection letters are always sent by post.

New fields

  • Two new fields have been added to the invoice views for sales and purchase invoices and supplier's and customer's register views: Buyer's reference identifier and Seller's reference identifier. They can be found from the Invoicing information section (behind Show more button).

Most wanted improvements

  • Junior's posting predictions column Correctly predicted postings % in the environment control tool was showing 0% to environments which previously had the percentage higher than 60% - it has now been fixed.

Most wanted Improvements Regarding New Graphical Reports

  • Viewing the content of the Register-dimension report is easier now since different product types are shown separately. We have now added grouping to for product items as per their product type.
  • We have also improved the default selection of the dimension name in the Register Dimension Report, and from now on, the first active item from any next dimension (with available active items) is preselected.
  • In the Sales report, it is now possible to search for customers by customer number and products by product code. Data grouping has been improved, and products with the same name in the registry are now grouped by product code, and customers with the same name in the registry are grouped by customer number.
  • In the Salaries reporting, the panel for Person's salary information which is visible when only one person has been selected is now included also in the pdf export.

Other Changes

  • We have added a Sum to be reported -cell to the Calculate summary button that can be found from Invoice accounting view. Also the Search information and Search all transactions buttons in the VAT summary now include a Sum to be reported -cell. This cell indicates the amount of VAT that will be reported on the self-assessed tax return.
