What’s new in May 2020

Feature enhancements

Square point of sale (POS) integration

We've integrated Wiise with Square point of sale.  This means you can seamlessly link your point of sale (POS) and finance system with Square, integrate your inventory and sell your goods online. You can also easily keep track of inventory and sales. So, you'll know what items to reorder when and see exactly what stock you have on hand. Here's how to set up POS in Wiise.

New Wiise reports

We've created seven new Wiise reports, allowing you to drill down on your income statement and balance sheet. You'll also be able to save time exporting to Excel with more user-friendly layouts. You can view a list of these reports in the Reports menu, in the Wiise Reporting Pack category, and under the Standard Reports sub-menu on the Business Manager and Accountant role centres.  You can also add these reports to your Favourite Reports. Find out more about the Wiise reporting pack here.

Add reports from 3rd party extensions or PTEs

You can now add third party or PTE (Per Tenant Extension) reports to your Custom Reports. You can do this easily with the Add Third Party Reports menu once the extension is installed. And you can add the reports to your Favourite Reports, which are unique to you. Find out how to add reports from 3rd party extensions here.

Work Description field in Timesheet Archives

You're now able to see the worksheet description in the Timesheets Archives page, once the timesheets have been moved to archive.

UDF fields available in sales/purchase documents sub-pages

You can now add UDF (user-defined fields) into sales/purchase document sub-pages using the Personalise menu. Once you've added these fields to your documents you can enter the values straight into the fields. This user-friendly option will help speed up your data entry.

GST Amount field available in Wiise Sales Invoice and Sales Order report

You can now add a GST Amount line field into the Wiise Sales Invoice and Sales Order report from the XML mapping option in Microsoft Word.

SISS bank feed job queues - random start time

Wiise will now randomly generate the start time of bank feeds job queues. The actual times for each client will vary by up to 30 minutes to avoid overloading the bank feed system. You can also create the job queues manually with the Create Bank Feed Schedule action on the Bank Feed Entries page. You'll need to make the Create Bank Feed Schedule action visible first, using the Personalise function. Find more details on how to create the job queue manually here.

SISS doesn't allow sandboxes to use the job queue for bank feed imports

When the Wiise production environment is copied to the sandbox, the bank feeds job queues will be stopped automatically. You can still run a manual import if you need to. To do that, go to the Bank feed Entries page, select the Manual Bank Feed Import action, and then tick the box Allow Bank Feed Import in Sandbox.

New SISS Execution Date field in Bank Feed Entries page

A new Execution date field has been added to the Bank Feed Entries page. This shows when the bank feeds were imported into Wiise. To update the Execution Date on existing entries you can use the Populate Execution Date action from the Bank Feed Entries page. You'll need to make the Populate Execution Date action visible first, using the Personalise function.

Resolution of reported bugs

Work Type not being copied from job planning lines to Wiise Timesheets

When creating Wiise timesheets using the Create Lines from Job Planning option, the work type wasn't being copied from the job planning lines to Wiise Timesheets. This issue has now been fixed. 

Favourite Reports error

The issue occurring when changing your company name has been now fixed.

Wiise Item Sales by Customer Web Service entry

This web service will be now created automatically during installation.

'Date not valid' error appearing when approving user timesheet

This error appeared when the timesheet was zero (no time entered). This has been fixed.

Copy Item UDF fields into sales or purchase document lines

Wiise will now copy the UDF fields from an Item to sales or purchase document lines.

Rounding difference in Payroll journals

The way rounding is calculated for payroll journals has been updated. This resolves the rounding difference that occasionally causes payroll journals to be out of balance.

Platform upgrade

No change as the existing v15.4 BC platform is used in this release.

Per tenant extensions

Remember to uninstall any Per Tenant Extensions (PTE) you’ve developed and installed in your sandbox environment if they were published directly via VS code. Any PTEs that are installed in your sandbox will be removed during the upgrade process.
