New in MoneyWorks Cashbook 7.3.4 (Nov 30, 2015)

  • Server logging now logs client connections and disconnections even when verbose logging is off.
  • Fixed crash in report interpreter accessing a malformed table (with fewer header columns than data columns—prepending a truncated header row to a table may now result iin the table data also being truncated).
  • Script for-loop reading a text file now automatically transcodes MacRoman/WinLatin input to UTF-8.
  • Datacentre nightly save will now do a backup if no backup has been done within 2 hours.
  • A datacentre database server will now stay alive if it is getting constant connections and disconnections at a frequency higher than its idle close interval. This should result in better service for very active REST clients overnight.
  • Post an informative alert for users who attempt to use a version 5 or 6 serial number in a version 7 product.
  • Updating double precision floating point fields using single pass import (inc XML import) now works.
  • Fixed potential crash in xmldump export through network client.

New in MoneyWorks Cashbook 7.3.3 (Nov 11, 2015)

  • Changes to font selection on Mac — The font selection dialog box now lists all font variations rather than just font family names. The font names used may differ slightly from the legacy Quickdraw family names. In general, forms using the old font names will continue to work. Some font names selected with the new system may not work in older versions of MoneyWorks that expect Quickdraw names. Also, due to the need to support both old and new font names, it is no long feasible to post a warning when fonts used in a form are not installed (MoneyWorks will rely on the OS to perform font substitution in most cases).

New in MoneyWorks Cashbook 7.3 (Oct 15, 2015)

  • The internal user-interface framework has been ported from the classic Mac/Carbon APIs to use the Cocoa framework.
  • 64-bit means access to more memory for better performance with very large data files (>2GB).
  • Cocoa Text system for data entry fields fully supports text transformations, speech, dictation, multi-level undo/redo, etc.
  • Core Text output for higher quality and slightly faster text rendering.
  • Faster initial launch and lower memory overhead on systems with no other 32-bit apps, due to not having to drag in 32-bit system libraries.
  • Resize windows from any edge (finally).
  • Smooth scrolling.
  • Retina display support—sharp text on Macs with Retina displays.
  • 64-bit operation is supported on Lion and later. MoneyWorks 7.3 will continue to execute in 32 bit mode with the Carbon framework on Snow Leopard. Snow Leopard users please note: MoneyWorks 7.3 will crash on the very first launch on Snow Leopard (Snow Leopard is erroneously trying to launch the 64 bit version which the installer has just removed). Just start the app again and you’ll be in the 32 bit version.
  • El Capitan compatibility for Datacentre:
  • You must update to version 7.3 before installing OS X 10.11 El Capitan on your Mac server (The El Capitan installer has a bug that will damage your Datacentre installation and prevent the normal software update from working; 7.3 has repair measures to autoatically fix problems caused by the El Capitan installer).
  • Unrelated to the El Capitan installer bug, versions of Datacentre prior to 7.3 are not compatible with the “rootless mode” of Mac OS X 10.11. In 7.3 the symbolic link to MoneyWorks Gold has moved from /usr/bin/ to /usr/local/bin/. This link is used internally by the server to start MoneyWorks CLI worker processes for serverside reporting, REST request processing, and various other tasks. If you have scripts that use the old symbolic link path, they will need to be updated.
  • Cloud/Internet performance improvements:
  • Statements can now run on the server for orders of magnitude speed increase when running over an Internet connection. The caveat is that the fonts used on the statement form must be installed on the server. If your statement form uses special fonts only installed on your client, you will need to continue to have statements rendered by your client, otherwise statements will suffer font substitution.
  • To enable server-side statement generation, you must set the “Run on server if possible” checkbox in the Form Options for the statement form.
  • Payments History optimised; now orders of magnitude faster when running over Internet connection.
  • Enquiry on a P&L account is now much much faster.
  • Purging is much faster, and may be interrupted by clicking Stop.
  • Sped up transaction entry window a bit more, especially with foreign currency transactions.
  • Script Editor improvements:
  • 64-bit Mac version gets Scintilla-based script editor (as for Windows version):
  • Block indent/outdent (tab/shift-tab for selection)
  • Line numbers.
  • Unlimited script size.
  • Multi-level Undo/Redo.
  • Handler popup for easier navigation of large scripts.
  • Script control for reports now has syntax highlighting.
  • Added Copy Script as Styled HTML command to Scintilla script editor.
  • Increased some size limits:
  • Report editor now supports reports with up to 30,000 parts.
  • Budget editor now supports unlimited number of ledger records without having to select a subset.
  • Up to 10,000 detail lines in a transaction.
  • Additional optimisations to improve performance with large data files.
  • Other improvements:
  • New Privilege: Stocktake. Stocktakes were not previously protected by a privilege. Since this new prvilege will be off by default for existing users, it will need to be added for users who need it. Go to Sharing and Users and open each user who needs the Stocktake privilege and click the Stocktake checkbox under the Products heading.
  • Recurring transaction setup now picks up the date of the template transaction and syncs the start date to the day-of-month or day-of-week automtically. To have a start date that does not conform to the repetition rule, change the start date after changing the day of month/week. Recurring transactions and messages will now sync themselves to the intended day number if they were initially set up with a non-matching start date.
  • PDF output for forms now preserves the compression of images on Windows—when you email invoices and statements containing PNG or JPEG images, these images will retain their compression (resulting in a smaller PDF), provided that the images have 100% opacity. Additionally, on both Mac and Windows, form output with the same image repeated will result in smaller PDFs because the image will be stored only once in the PDF and referenced thereafter (this optimisation only happens for direct save to PDF, not from the Preview window).
  • Start menu items have been cleaned up: MoneyWorks is now just one icon link rather than a folder.
  • Improved scroll-wheel responsiveness on Windows, and we now respect the scroll speed preference in Control Panel.
  • Script runtime errors: now show line numbers in message and selects error line more reliably in editor.
  • New: GetLastErrorMessage() function returns last import error.
  • New: TableAccumulateColumn() function.
  • CreateTable() can now take an optional parameter to dimension the table.
  • Improved performance of Find Related ➝ Highlight with a large number of records to highlight.
  • ChooseFromList() fn: Window is now resizable.
  • Mac Shift-⌘-H for Payments History conflicted with key equiv for Hold in transactions, so has been changed to opt-shift-⌘-H.
  • Drag scrolling of lists is accelerated according to distance mouse is outside list bounds.
  • Navigator Extras folder is now in Signing list to facilitate signing of custom navigator panels.
  • Stock Journals: Stockcode field made bigger.
  • Script editor log display now autoreloads (Windows).
  • Improved file compression performance slightly.
  • Script mail() function may now be used with no attachment.
  • DisplaySelection() function now has an optional 3rd parameter: pass 1 to highlight results rather than making found set.
  • Removed conflicting keyboard equivalent on Contra command.
  • Report generation is more responsive to cancel button.
  • Currency conversions now use the rate for today’s date (in case periods have been opened in advance).
  • Improved alignment for parenthesis-negative integer values in reports.
  • Windows Script Editor now implements Find/Find Selected.
  • ReplaceField() function no longer clears the highlighted selection of associated list.
  • Searching long text fields (e.g. description) now always searches the entire text.
  • Export Script as XML: Now exports the current text even if the script has not yet been compiled and activated.
  • CLI no longer treats blank line input as “unknown command”.
  • Email attachments are cleaned up immediately, and backups downloaded from server no longer accumulate files on the server.
  • Balance Sheet view in Accounts list now includes Shareholders’ funds accounts.
  • Drilling down to a related record for a code (e.g. from the Customer code in a transaction) now only does a relookup of the customer information if you click OK for the customer record while the code field is still the active field in the transaction (likewise from products, accounts, jobs). Since drill down became modeless in v6, a relookup was always being forced regardless of any changes having been made. If you change the colour of the related record, that will be reflected immediately in the drill down arrow before you even tab out of the field.
  • Gain/loss adjustment journals against bank delta are now purgeable.
  • Change Password is disabled for MoneyWorks Now logins (document passwords should not be changeable for MoneyWorks Now users).
  • Faster list opening when sorted by extremely compute-intensive calculated column.
  • SetBudget(), SuggestNameCode(), and SyncTransactionImage() now available in MWScript.
  • Updated Stock History report.
  • Updated Malaysia GST report.
  • Updated Executive Summary report.
  • Statement of Cash Flows report: Required for Malaysia.
  • UK VAT Report: Amended for Flat Rate Scheme.
  • Sorting by a calculated column where the calculation is very time consuming (such as a SumSelection) will now time-out after 5 seconds, rather than locking up the server. If you absolutely need such a sort, consider using Advanced Replace or ReplaceField() to store the values in a user/custom field and then sort that.
  • Upgraded security of SSL connections
  • TLS is now enabled (previous versions were forcing SSLv3)
  • There is now an option to disable SSLv3 and use only TLS, but this may only be used if connecting clients have already updated to v7.3 or later.
  • Now using openssl 1.0.2d on both Mac and Windows.
  • Bugs fixed:
  • Windows PDF now supports proper decimal alignment.
  • Fixed occasional double execution of script Load handlers on startup.
  • Improper use of IntersectSelection() et al in a search expression is now flagged as an error rather than crashing or hanging.
  • Find by Formula in budget and balance editor no longer limits search to a previous search result.

  • Windows colour picker Hue label displays correctly.
  • Gold server reliability improved when multiple network clients are doing progressive searches.
  • Double-clicking title bar to zoom window in 32 bit version on Mavericks and later now properly resizes window content.

  • Chart by month no longer outputs bad xml if month name is non-ASCII.
  • Windows PDF generation from preview no longer loses euro symbols and treats intra-field linefeeds properly.
  • Fixed misaligned syntax colouring on Scintilla when there are multibyte chars in the script.
  • Single quote ( ‘ ) in recipient’s name no longer breaks emailing.
  • Single quote ( ‘ ) in file name no longer breaks server-side backup.
  • Payments History now clears notes window when you change Name code
  • Fixed some memory leaks.
  • Fixed some code signing issues on Mac DC.
  • Prompt Payment Discount calculation no longer goes wonky when there are no discountable accounts on the transaction.
  • A failed XML transaction import with posting is now cleaned up properly, and database is unlocked immediately after success.
  • Receipt/Pay this Invoice now displays local currency equivalent.
  • Receipt/Pay this Invoice: fixed potential crash.
  • Reports: Custom Number controls no longer get rounded to 2 decimal places.
  • Posting foreign currency transactions with loss/gain in local file no longer loses progress display.
  • Foreign currency gain/loss adjustments due to rate fluctuations should no longer get “currency delta” errors.
  • Ctrl-shift Esc (for task manager on Windows) no longer passes through the Esc to MoneyWorks, which could cancel the current operation (such as a report being generated).
  • Improved cache sizing to prevent memory errors with large files when running in 32-bit mode.
  • Fixed Bonjour incorrect advertising for Web apps on Windows Datacentre.
  • Windows Datacentre Console now quits reliably via Taskbar ➝ Close Window.
  • Option to restart Datacentre service at midnight (only via manual config file edit).
  • Option to oberride SSL cipher selection (only via manual config file edit).

  • MWScript fixed potential crash in foreach in textfile with empty name.
  • Fixed potential crash when adding custom calculated column.
  • Removed:
  • Mac 64-bit: Applescript terminology used by Helper scripts no longer supported. Use MWScript scripts to customise and extend application functionality. The core scripting API (open/import/export/evaluate/doreport) is still supported by Applescript as well as CLI and COM. If you need Applescript Helper support, it is currently still available when running in 32-bit mode, although the dictionary has been removed so developing new scripts is not possible.

New in MoneyWorks Cashbook 7.2 (Mar 18, 2015)

  • Fixed crash caused by long analysis filenames.
  • Housekeeping Navigator panel now has a heading for the data section.

  • Cumulative P&L for range: Fixed spurious lines with zero in them.
  • CashFlow Report: Now works for locales that use something other than dot for decimal point.
  • Find no longer parses the search text to a date unless it is a date. This could add spurious results to the search.

New in MoneyWorks Cashbook 7.1.6 (Sep 24, 2014)

  • Brings some more significant performance enhancements to Datacentre server and MoneyWorks Now clients accessing the server over the Internet or other high latency network connection.
  • Note: due to changes in the network protocol, MoneyWorks Gold 7.1.6 will not log in to an older server. Be sure to update servers first.
  • Datacentre server performance improvements for high latency network connections:
  • Faster rendering of list views, most noticeable with lists that have standard or custom calculated columns that look up data from other tables (e.g. the Debtor list does this to display the overpayment indicator; and of course the Detail Lines list).
  • Sales Enquiries for ranges of Products and Customers are now much faster (3-50x in testing).
  • Sum Selection is much faster for transactions, orders, and names.
  • Increased cache sizes to better accommodate very large transactions (Sales Orders up to 600 lines now load much faster).
  • Support for running Chain Reports on the server (The component reports must all be preloaded on the server—use Upload All). This means chain reports can run at full speed for internet clients. Chain reports will also now load any scripts for subreports when running locally in Separate Reports mode, but be aware that using this facility is limited by the fact that custom control settings cannot be passed to subreports.
  • Loading a saved bank reconciliation is faster.
  • Other performance improvements:
  • By popular demand, the non-customisable but speedier version of the Aged Receivables/Aged Payables report from v6 is now accessible again. With Datacentre this will now run on the server, so will be faster than ever. This mode has been built in to the regular reports and can be activated with the following combination of settings: Age By = Period, Show Tax = off, Omit Zero Balances = on, Highlighted Only = off, By Currency = off, Subtotal = None, Use Built-in Mode = on.
  • New features:
  • Load Bank Statement now supports foreign currency bank accounts.
  • Added a backup command to the command line tool. See the manual/usage page for details.
  • Calculated columns in the Detail Lines list may access transaction fields without recourse to the Lookup function.
  • Added GetTaxRate(code, date) function.
  • Export command has XML option for Transaction, Items, Names, Jobs, Job Sheet Entries.
  • Server details for MoneyWorks Now documents can now be seen by holding down Cmd/Ctrl when selecting the doc in the login list.
  • Behaviour changes:
  • If you leave your data file open overnight without having saved during the day, or you cause a Datacentre server to never be able to close the datafile (by, e.g. querying it constantly every minute, 24/7), MoneyWorks will now automatically force a save at approximately 11pm (server time).
  • The behaviour of some intrinsic functions and of calculated columns has changed very slightly. This may affect existing forms, reports, or custom column calculations that rely on the previous behaviour.
  • If NumToText is passed a parameter that is already text, it is now parsed to a number and reformatted in the requested format. Previously the text would pass through with its original format. A side effect of this is that NumToText(“blah”) now returns “0.00″, not “blah”.
  • If DateToText is passed a parameter that is already text, it is now parsed to a date and reformatted in the requested format. Previously the text would pass through.
  • TextToDate can now parse a YYYYMMDDHHMMSS string. The resulting “date” will include the specified time.
  • The privileges for Name and Product Sales/Purchase enquiries have been renamed, which may affect existing privilege controls in reports and uses of the Allowed() function where these privileges are referred to by name. Please update your reports or scripts if you are testing these privileges in them.
  • Datacentre backups are now performed asynchronously by a read-only backup process. The document becomes available for access (reopen) almost immediately after an idle close, while the backup is still being done. This should eliminate the “permissions error” window that used to happen for 5-30 seconds on document close during which reopen requests and REST requests for the document would fail and need to be reissued.
  • Bug fixes:
  • Fixed bug in the form pagination that could cause the Last Page Only visibility attribute not to work for forms printed by a network client.
  • Error logging of XML was sometimes failing with a permissions error: fixed.
  • Windows version is now applying half-even rounding again.
  • Select Filter Privilege no longer throws spurious privilege errors in Navigator.
  • REST 401 response was failing to provide WWW-Authenticate headers in ASP mode.
  • Account Enquiry “Include Unposted” no longer puts the internal serverside report into the Reports menu as the last report printed.
  • Fixed a crash in report writer when report author does not have privilege specified as a requirement in the report settings.
  • A broken client connection while running a serverside report no longer escapes stale client detection.
  • Fixed a potential crash when a Sales Enquiry for a range of names is interrupted by clicking Stop.
  • Removed extraneous Find Advanced option from Item Sales Enquiry (Find and Find Advanced are interchangeable now).
  • Fixed standard control parameter setting from REST/CLI (e.g. Show_Departments).
  • Company Logo change is now more reliable on Datacentre (previously, certain graphic formats were not cleared which could cause a replaced logo to “stick”)
  • Mac version now checks for oversized logo graphic before attempting to upload to server.
  • Fixed a crash risk in detail list when transactions are deleted by another user while viewing the details
  • A report script with the same name as a global script will no longer clobber the global script.
  • Fixed the enabling of the MoneyWorks Now login button immediately after a new account password change.
  • Fixed syncing of DI/SO/QU/Job numbers in single-user case.
  • Script deletion now refreshes the script editor sidebar.
  • Fixed a resource leak in Diagnostics.
  • The Linesleft report variable now works when used before any output is generated.
  • Auto allocation 2-way splits now use explicit rounding to ensure the split balances.
  • Importing a text string via Applescript now accepts unicode text.
  • Sending a report to the clipboard (Mac) now provides unicode text.
  • Import error messages are now correctly encoded as utf8.
  • Font loading failure is now reported to the user (in some cases such failure could result in a div by zero crash).
  • Some std Analysis reports were complaining of wanting a signature.
  • Fixed a security vulnerability in moneyworks_daemon.
  • Fixed a problem with Datacentre that could prevent new connections after too many non-SSL connection attempts to a server configured to use SSL.
  • Items sidebar reports renamed so as not to inadvertently load incorrect report
  • Analysis reports now run on server again (bogus period out of range error)
  • MWScript: elevated attribute now remains set after a call to a non-elevated handler.
  • Windows 7 detail entry list now displays properly with 125% font scale
  • Report writer server-side testing of report now properly disables the Refresh icon in Preview
  • Sequence Number recovery after rollback no longer clobbers synced DI/SO/Job numbers with an old job number.
  • OrderShipped field is now updated properly by Goods-before-invoice and deposit allocation.
  • Singapore F5 Report tweaked realised gain/loss calculation.

  • ValidateCell is now called with the correct list/tab name when changing tabs (e.g. from By Item to By Account).
  • Load Bank Statement: when a split transaction is converted to an invoice payment, the split amount now displays correctly.
  • Load Bank Statement: New split rule created on a zero value transaction no longer gets bad split %.
  • Full text search no longer incorrectly matches prefix of search term against shorter indexed fields such as transaction type.
  • Full text search now correctly matches terms on the start of a line in a multiline address.
  • Fixed overly long Malaysian tax rate names.
  • Other changes:
  • Location for installing Externals has moved to /Cognito/MoneyWorks Gold/Externals/.
  • Job Code Required is now ignored for Quotes.
  • Foreign currency transactions are now cancelled at the original transactions exchange rate rather than the current system rate. This is to prevent issues with GST/VAT processing. If you need to cancel an invoice at a different rate, do a credit note and contra it.
  • A warning is now issued by the report printing dialog box before running a report locally on a high latency network connection. In this situation, reports should ideally be set to run on the server.
  • Product.Count field may now be imported and used with the Replace command and ReplaceField(). When doing a canonical export (e.g. Copy to clipboard) of products, the Count is exported in the same column that StockOnHand is for inventoried products (these fields are mutually exclusive). If you want to copy/paste inventoried products to become counted products, be sure to clear the StockAcct and inventory flag (#08) when reimporting. You can explicitly set the count flag to have it set even when the imported count is zero (#800000).
  • A reminder message is now issued when foreign currency accounts start to accumulate too much rounding drift. In this situation it is important to update the exchange rate for the currency (which gives MoneyWorks an opportunity to correct any rounding drift).
  • With a Gold Server, editing of scripts is now restricted to the server machine, due to complications with handling edits on clients. Datacentre can handle script editing by any client.

  • Updated the Set Rate toolbar icon on Windows.
  • Name.splitAcct1 and splitAcct2 are now explicitly searchable.
  • With MoneyWorks Gold, the Load Bank Statement command can use an external MWScript (located in the standard Scripts/Bank Statement Importers/ folder) to import non-standard bank statement files. The script can use the new function AddStatementTransaction(ref, date, tofrom, desc, amt) to add transactions to the statement coding screen (transactions so added will be autocoded using rules in the usual way). The script will receive the Load message and should call AddStatementTransaction from there to add each transaction.
  • Tweaked the Datacentre console app icon on Mac.
  • The year popup in the report settings dialog now remembers its setting for the session.
  • Fixed a potential multi-second hang when launching on Yosemite.
  • The Use SSL checkbox setting is now remembered across sessions.
  • BuyPriceCurrency can now be imported for existing products.
  • Mac installers are now downloadable as .pkg files instead of .dmg.
  • Report Scripts may now have the same file access privileges as regular scripts provided the report is running locally. Report scripts running on server are sandboxed. In general you should not rely on reading local text files from a report. Reading them from the web server is preferable.
  • For Each part in a report may now read from a secure web server (https).
  • Empty reports now display in preview less confusingly.
  • Modified Mac code signing to conform to Apple’s new requirements for Mavericks 10.9.5 and Yosemite.

  • OFX, QIF, QBO files may now be dragged and dropped onto the Load Bank Statement window and also into the Transaction list to invoke Load Bank Statement. In the latter case, no date filtering will take place (likewise no date filtering will take place if the file is dropped on the app icon in the Dock).
  • Load Bank Statement OFX/QBO importing now translates the ampersand entity.
  • REST developers can have all headers logged for debugging purposes (in conjunction with the verbose logging setting) by manually editing the Datacentre conf2 file to set debug: 1
  • Custom date controls in reports are now passed to the server in ISO format for international compatibiity.
  • XML import errors are now logged to progress window.
  • SMTP emailing no longer substitutes user’s email as From field if the SMTP server requires authentication.
  • Added Paste Records command to contextual menu.
  • Change Starts New Seq preference will now ignore a change to a non-numeric reference number.
  • Random() function is now much more random, especially in CLI mode where it was not seeded, and on Windows where the seed was insufficiently random.
  • Improved network latency measuring for better determination of when to use serverside reporting.

New in MoneyWorks Cashbook 7.0.0 (Jul 21, 2014)

  • Faster, easier full-text search:
  • The new search box in the toolbar makes finding information both faster and easier. Just type a word and MoneyWorks instantly starts searching the full text of the records in the list (even including sticky notes and detail lines).
  • Unicode:
  • Now you can record information and prepare invoices/reports in almost any language, including Chinese, Japanese, Greek, Cyrillic and most other non-Roman text. This also provides full cross platform support for accented characters (bonne idée, Māori) and other special symbols.
  • Faster:
  • MoneyWorks has long been a speed king in the accounting software world, but now the database and network performance have been made even faster. Datacentre users in particular will benefit from some dramatic network performance increases—especially for clients connecting over the Internet.
  • Stock Counting:
  • Stock counting is ideal for those who do not want the overheads of running full stock accounting, but just want to keep a simple count of items. Available in all products (including Cashbook and Express), it is ideal for situations like farm accounting and share portfolios, where full inventory accounting is not appropriate.
  • Scripting:
  • MoneyWorks Gold 7 includes a built-in script editor and compiler for an easy to learn and use scripting language which allows for extensive customisation of application behaviour. Scripting dramatically increases the power of MoneyWorks, allowing you to place your own buttons on windows to add additional functionality to MoneyWorks. Want to automatically round transactions to the nearest 10 cents? Automatically update exchange rates daily, weekly or monthly? Implement a complex pricebook? It can be done with a script.
  • More Reports:
  • We’ve added some great new reports and reorganised the existing ones to make them easier to access. Many reports can now be accessed directly from the list sidebar. New reports include:
  • Daily Summary Dashboard
  • Executive Summary
  • Backdated Transactions
  • Recurring Transactions
  • Overpayments Report
  • Trial Balance to Date
  • Chart of Accounts
  • Department Listing
  • Profit and Loss for Five Years
  • Cumulative Profit and Loss for Period Range
  • OTHER CHANGES INCLUDE:
  • Posting:
  • Posting now happens on the server so it is much faster when running on a network. And to streamline things, the posting process no longer stops and asks for a decision on how to treat out-of-stock conditions.
  • Customisable Reports With the exception of the GST/VAT report, all reports have been reimplemented as custom reports, so you can modify them (in MoneyWorks Gold) if you want.
  • Sidebar Reports Reports which operate on list selections are now directly accessible through the list's sidebar.
  • New locale for Malaysia:
  • Electronic banking security enhancement (multiple exports with different accounts are logged)
  • Toolbar icons that do not fit in window are now accessible from a chevron menu
  • Report Privileges:
  • Access to the standard reports is now subject to privilege control, for easier management of financial security. For example, you can only run a Profit and Loss report if you have the Account Enquiry privilege. Reports can still be signed for a finer level of access control (the factory-standard reports have been signed by Cognito to allow them to be run by anyone with appropriate privileges.
  • Building Items:
  • Parts need no longer be in stock (they will just go into negative stock). Components no longer need to be purchased, but only require a cost account specified on the Item's Costing tab.
  • Additional user-defined storage in the User2 table
  • Transaction Details printing:
  • Get a transaction details report for selected transactions right from the transaction list toolbar or sidebar. This report is now customisable using the Report Writer.
  • MoneyWorks Manual:
  • The revised User Guide for MoneyWorks 7 is now installed on-demand and can be updated via Software Updates, should that be required.
  • On-line help:
  • The on-line help system is now fully integrated with our web site for an improved and consistent answer-finding experience.
  • Improved Refund dialogs make it easier to select credits for refunding (especially if you have hundreds of them!)
  • Scripting:
  • New scripting facilities allow for easy customisation and extension of MoneyWorks functionality.
  • With MWScript, you can:
  • Add toolbar buttons or menu commands to invoke your scripts
  • Validate or auto-fill data entry fields or screens
  • Invoke or look up data from external web services
  • Create simple dialog boxes for data capture
  • Included example scripts for exchange rate lookup, cash-rounding, BOM cost update and journal creation, purchase order creation.
  • Scripting language features:
  • Platform neutral: Write once; deploy on either platform
  • Fully embedded: Policy-enforcing scripts cannot be circumvented by removing script file.
  • Fast. Scripts run right in MoneyWorks, so there is no IPC overhead
  • The MWScript language is closely aligned with purpose, making it really easy to customise MoneyWorks.
  • Very dynamic loading of scripts: Make a change, activate script and it's immediately enabled.
  • Easy deployment: Scripts can be emailed to customers and installed by a double-click.

  • Mac Datacentre server now runs with reduced privileges (as user moneyworks_server instead of root). The update installer will migrate existing installations.

  • Tweaked NZ GST Guide: The Mode menu has been replaced by a "Show Documentation" check box, which if checked displays the documentation on the first page and the actual report thereafter. So you will always get a result regardless of the Documentation setting (a source of some confusion).
  • Report writing and calculations:
  • New intrinsic functions CreateSelection() and IntersectSelection() plus new For Each loop variant in report writer that iterates over the result of these functions
  • Functions that take a search expression as text now have access to the enclosing scope's identifiers when the expression is evaluated
  • Val() function. Takes a text string containing an expression. Returns the result of the expression. This provides a way of deferring the evaluation of expensive calculations on either side of an If function.
  • Import() function now returns the sequence number of the last record imported (for tables where this is supported). -1 is returned if the import failed. Note that using this function to import into tables other than USER is very strongly discouraged.
