Resolution of reported bugs

Wiise Timesheet posting error when using the default recurring journal batch 

There was a conflict posting timesheets when the default recurring journal batch was used as well. This issue has been fixed.

On the Wiise Income Statement (Actual vs Budget) report, the variance wasn't calculated correctly

On the Comparative Income Statement report, an error occurred when comparing a recent period with an older period i.e. FY20 vs FY19 (as opposed to FY19 vs FY20). This issue has been resolved.

We've added the GST Line Amount field to the MS Word layout of this report. The system now shows the correct GST Line Amount.

Show opposite sign on Wiise Reports​

There are different ways to interpret an Income Statement or Profit and Loss Statement. By default, when you run a report in Wiise, it will display the sales or income accounts with a negative sign. But you might prefer to view sales or income as a positive figure.

With any report in the Wiise reporting pack, you can now specify which accounts you want to display as an opposite sign when you run the report. You can read more about this feature and how to set it upon the Wiise reporting pack..
