Summary of Changes
New Features
MTD – Make Tax Digital – UK
P2 IDEAS 6.12.0.0 allows our UK clients to comply with the new HMRC reporting requirement to upload VAT tax information directly from the P2 IDEAS database to the HMRC website. This feature also allows UK clients to do all the preparation work for the report directly in P2 IDEAS, reducing the need to rely on third-party products such as MS Excel. This feature is in the General Ledger module and is described in detail in the General Ledger Help documentation.
Issues Resolved
See the P2 IDEAS 6.12.0.0 Risk Assessment for a complete list of issues resolved. Below are some highlights:
Accounts Payable
- Auto checks
- Resolved an issue printing checks from a P2 Hosted environment where the first check in a run printed successfully, but subsequent checks did not.
- Manual Checks – ARG
- Corrected an issue in the ARG Manual Check screen where the Minimum WH amount was not being calculated correctly causing Check Certificates to be incorrect
Accounts Receivable Trade
Invoice Entry
- Resolved an issue in the Invoice Entry screen where when moving an invoice from one batch to another and failing to save the change would lose the invoice; it could not be found in the source or the target batch. This change was made to the Standard and ARG Invoice Entry screen in AP and the Invoice Entry screen in ART.
All Modules
Windows Reserved Hot Key Combinations
- CTRL + X will no longer close a module. It now only behaves as the standard Windows Hot Key.
