Issue with the web access in version 3.04 and 3.28

 

Dear team I am about to release the software to be used by multiple users however when they go to add new items to an invoice there is no way of typing a description or amend the cost of the item. Nor does it actually put any prices in appart from the item name and thats it!

 

Please see attached screen shot - please can you let me know why this is? This means that I will not be able to have multiple users using the system which I thought is what the web access was for?

 

Many thanks

 

Mick Sheehan

Hi,

 

The programmers are currently working on express invoice to address the issues.

I have also sent your suggestions to the programmers so they are aware of the things you have found.

There should be a new version of the software released in about 2 weeks or so.

You just need to see the current open ones so that you don’t accidently select an already paid invoice.

We recently upgraded our in house accounting to version and all the totals seemed to convert over just fine. May i ask you a few questions.

Hi Mick,

 

Thank you for all of your feedback on Express Accounts.

 

Just wanted to let you know that I fast tracked this issue so it can be looked into. Unfortunately it would take a bit longer for a developer scanning this forum to put this post together with the PNG you entered into our ticketing system. I sent development this forum link along with your PNG attachment, rather than waiting for a support tech to make it happen.

 

Thanks for you patience.

 

DJ
