VINVOICING-390Rent start date useImprovement4.6.2GeneralThe rent start date is not currently used as the actual rent start date.  For example, if the customer has 2 weeks free rent, this is not considered when the rent start date is set, but behind the scenes the system knows about the 2 free works and adds it in, so it all still works but it's not very transparent.

In [VW-2328] this is changing, with this change here in VI, the VI system will now take the new ‘Rent Commences’ field and use that instead of the behind the scenes calculations.

In addition, pro rata rent should only be imported from VW if the pre advice has the box checked.

VINVOICING-473VI Charges ModuleNew Feature4.5.0GeneralVision Invoicing was designed to obtain charges from VW and VD store the information and then produce an invoice however there is alot of demand to provide a new module to allow generic charges to be added to the system and for customer who do not store nor transport.



A new module will be written for VI which will allow these to be entered, this module will allow



1) Invoices or Credit Notes to be created

2) A Job / Invoice header to be created with text description

3) A new line code feature will be added, each code will be for a group and will define the base nominal code for the output.

4) Each line will have to have a line code, description, quantity, item price and discount field

5) Invoice / Credit note header will have to be released for invoicing, authorisation for credit notes will need to be added seperate to invoices, the user will confirm READY  and if it is a credit will require second level authorisation.

6) The invoice template will be standardised but with the ability for customers to customised this.

7) Nominal output will be possible with a report and finance extract.

8) Customers on this will not have to be from WMS or Distribution they can be entered into the Invoicing system.

9) Login controls will be added for the new invoicing and a new license level will be added, this license will be for VI Invoice Entry only.

10) Even if a job is ready for invoicing, additional lines will be able to be added at a later date, the invoice would then be run on the next invoice run and it would state "Addition to previously invoiced items for job xxx invoiced on dd/mm/yyyy on invoice 23723098"

11) Each line would have a status of invoiced and not invoiced.

12) Each line would have details of who added it and who amended it and when.



The option of running the invoices would be a main logon operation.

The credit control authorisation for credit notes would also be a main logon operation.



A scheduler / template feature to allow recurring invoices will be added at a later date.
