BMS (v4.0.29) - 1 February 2020

This release features an amazing new invoice customization capability, further improvements to the recently redesigned QuickBooks Online integration, and a number of usability enhancements and fixes.

Enhancements

BMS Finance

  • Want to get your invoices looking just the way you want them? You now have unparalleled flexibility to do just that. Invoice layouts and formats can now be completely customized leveraging the power and flexibility of the Ad Hoc reporting engine. There is no need to build custom invoices from scratch: the most popular invoice templates have been reimagined as Ad Hoc templates which can be found under the 'System' folder in Ad Hoc reports. These templates can be used as-is, or they can be copied to the Public Reports folder where they can be customized. Using the Ad Hoc reporting tool you can tailor the invoice templates to match your brand by formatting borders, fonts, text & background colors, bold, italic, and more. You can also configure invoice templates to show just the data you want your clients to see by adding text and data fields to header, line-item, and footer areas. The Ad Hoc invoice templates can be selected when generating invoices, and also when configuring billing automation jobs.

(A 'Classic' option allows you to use any of the original templates, as well as any custom templates that were previously delivered via Professional Services.)
