Enhancements

BR-1800 New Bank Statement import screen

This version release introduces a new Bank Statement import screen designed to enhance user experience. Users can now drag and drop statement files to initiate the processing of multiple statements simultaneously.

To access the new import screen, follow these steps: Transaction > ZoneReconcile > Instant Upload (Note: This navigation path applies to users with the Administrator role).

To Import a Single Statement File:

1. Drag and drop a bank statement file (or multiple) into the 'Drag & Drop Bank Statements' section
2. Under 'Bank Account', select a GL account from the existing Bank Account configurations
3. Click 'Process'

The system will redirect users to their bank statement. If multiple statements were loaded, the system will create a link for each file separately.

To Import a Multi-Statement File:

1. Drag and drop a bank statement file (or multiple) into the 'Drag & Drop Bank Statements' section
2. Enable the toggle for 'Multi Statement Import'
3. Select one of the existing multi-import bank account configurations
4. Click 'Process'

The system will generate separate bank statement links for each account of the uploaded files.

BR-1894 Improved Bank Statement Auto import process

In previous versions, the Bank Statement Auto import process was executed using two scripts:

• BS MR File Processing (moving the bank statement file from one folder to another and was generating the auto import record) and
• BS SC Import (was processing the auto import record to the state of generating bank statement)

Both have been replaced with two new scripts, and they are:

• ZR File Processing MR and
• ZR AutoImport MR

These new scripts serve the same purpose, but have been redesigned to efficiently handle larger volumes of statements, in significantly less time.

BR-1780 Change the Type of Description from 'Free-form text' to 'Text Area' to accept more characters

The 'Description' field in the Bank Statement Transaction record has been updated from 'Free-form text' to 'Text Area' type to accommodate more information in user's bank statements.

To adjust the character limit for bank statement descriptions, users can modify preferences using the 'Description character limit' field, located in the Custom Preferences section of the General Preferences screen.

BR-1918 CAMT.054 Parent/Child Transaction Support

In order to accommodate additional transaction lines structured in a Parent/Child relationship of a CAMT.054 statement file, the bank account configuration has been extended with additional configuration option to host user's preferences. 

When CAMT.054 is selected as 'Bank file format' on the bank account configuration, the system will display the preference 'Import preference child/parent lines'.

User's can now select the preferred option of importing statement lines. Each of the preferences stores the following behavior:

• Mainlines and Sublines: Imports all transaction lines from a statement
• Mainlines Only: Imports a general summary of batch amounts instead of individual lines
• Sublines Only: Imports individual statement lines, ignoring the mainlines

BR-1929 Support Form Link - pass parameters to pre-fill the form

The Support form has been upgraded to automatically accept parameters of the NetSuite account the case is originating from. In previous versions, users had to manually enter their NetSuite account information, email address, company name, and select the product type for the case being raised for. Starting with this release, all these parameters will be pre-populated automatically.

Bug Fixes

BR-1493 Electronic Payments > Exchange Rate in EFT and DD Batch is not updated when processing Multi-currency Payments

In previous versions, there was no exchange rate parameter to update closed transactions linked through the Alternative match type function. Consequently, when a foreign currency Payment batch was linked to a statement, the FX rate was not updated, resulting in incorrect GL posting. This release introduces a fix that ensures the FX rate of Payment batches is fully updated according to the statement.
