Post Transaction

Enhanced to support batch-oriented Transaction processing and posting. Before this enhancement, processing large number of New or Updated Entries will not be completed, as the connection between the browser and remote server was closed prematurely. This is due to the processing taking more than the allowed set time limit. To avoid this, the New/Updated Entries are split into batches that will fit into the allowed time limit. The split batches are auto processed one after the other.

Payments

Enhanced to select only Loan Customers as the Target Customers when Record Loan Given to Customers is selected as the Payment Type. Previously, none Loan Customers were included in the List.

Consolidated Bank Account

It will bring great flexibility in the way WSMS banking feature is used. It will allow the customers to have system bank accounts that may be more than the actual physical bank accounts. This feature will allow customers to consolidate some WSMS bank accounts into one physical bank account. By so doing, WSMS helps you to further subdivide your physical bank account into multiple system sub accounts. Example, you may choose to split your First Bank Account into WSMS First Bank Account – Q1 Check Expenses, First Bank Account – Q2 Check Expenses, First Bank Account – Q3 Check Expenses and First Bank Account – Q4 Check Expenses. This feature will allow you to create consolidated bank account First Bank Account, and then consolidate Q1 to Q4 Check expenses into it.

Define the Consolidated Bank Accounts using the Sub Menu Update Consolidated Bank Information under Payments Main Menu

Consolidated Bank Statement

This will display the Consolidated Bank Accounts and their Audit Trails (the WSMS bank accounts that are consolidated into each of them).

Default Banks for Payments

WSMS has more than 60 bank-based expenses items. Each time you are using any of these bank-based expenses, you are required to select a bank name. This can be tedious, especially when there are many WSMS system bank accounts. Wrong bank may be selected by some staff, who are not familiar with the purpose of each system bank account. To avoid the need to select a bank name, this enhancement was introduced.

This enhancement allows you to select default system bank name for each expenses item. When entry for such an expenses item is initiated, the chosen bank will be auto selected as the default bank. You can still change the default bank manually, if you wish.

Select the Default Bank Names for various Payments using the Sub Menu Update Default Banks for Payments under Payments Main Menu

Sales and Loan Customer Bad Debts Management

Some of the Debts owed by either Sales or Loan Customers may turn into Bad Debt, which will not be collected.  Loan Given to Customer Payment Option now include two entries for capturing Short-Term and Long-Term Bad Debts.

Similarly, Sales Customers Debt-Payment Option also has an entry for capturing Bad Debts.

 Classic Menu Version 2.1

 WSMS has two User Interfaces. They are the Conventional (drop-down) Menu, which was implemented in version 1, and Classical Menu Version 2.0 that was added in Version 2.  Classical Menu Version 2.1 has just been added to replace Version 2.0.

Classical Menu Version 2.1 is more appealing to end users, as it presents the Interface, which is close to what they see on smartphones and androids.

These changes are only effective on the User’s Device and do not apply to other users.
