Xero adds new reports while Saasu anoints a POS supplier.
Xero and Saasu have posted details of their final updates to their cloud accounting platforms for 2011.
Xero’s update mainly involved new and improved reporting. The Customer Invoice Report could filter, export and print a list of receivable invoices; the Supplier Invoice Report did the same for payable invoices.
A minor improvement for the Budget Manager fixed column headings during scrolling so the date range was still visible when scrolling down. The Budget Manager also received a full window view and a new column showing a total of monthly budgets.
A new feature let users select several invoices to calculate a total of money owed or due.
And in a move towards increased personalisation, Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable screens now remembered their sorting preferences.
Saasu highlighted projects in progress which were due for release early next year. They included the ability to set default trading terms at file level and contact level to eliminate the need to enter due dates for invoices.
Saasu was also working to make it easier to update bank sign-in credentials in the accounting platform if users had changed them with their online banking provider. The goal was to improve continuity of bank feed serviecs.
Saasu had chosen a preferred hardware point-of-sale (PoS) provider. Products from vendor DigiPoS were “inexpensive, maintenance backed and allow for different types of hardware”, Saasu said in its release. Saasu was giving customers flexible payment options for DigiPoS hardware from January 2012.
