New Logo
To coincide with the release of the new range of accounting
software for Windows, we have embarked on freshening our image and have
adapted a new logo. This logo replaces the "aged little man"
that has become synonymous with Orion Software over the past 20 years. The name
"Orion Software" will however remain the same, as will the New Dimension
Accounting Series product logo.
Change in
date formats
The date format on system and final account reports has been
changed to accommodate arithmetic calculations using dates, similar to a typical
spreadsheet application. The existing system reports will be modified by
ourselves and will be included in the next web update. Please note that if you
have any custom reports using date fields, please inform us and we will gladly
modify your report.
This added feature enables function and transaction dates and times to be
reported on and used in arithmetic calculations. 
New system reports
New system reports include the following:
- GL
Accounts Audit Trail w Stamps - GL Audit trail with transactional user, date and time stamps.
Trial
Balance - Main GL Accounts - Trial Balance showing GL Accounts with all respective
departments and sub departments as a cumulative figure.
Tax Types and GL
Allocations
In the previous Newsletter mention was made about the ability
to post GL Journals to the tax type control accounts, primarily for the purposes
of posting sales tax adjustments. These journals would then be displayed on the
View | Sales Taxes form in the adjustments column. To make use of this function,
ensure that each Tax Type is allocated to it's own GL account. The next web
update will enforce unique GL Accounts to each Tax Type. Should your data have a
single GL Account controlling multiple Tax Types, then additional GL Accounts
will be added by the system to enable the data upgrade. You will then be able to
rename these added GL Accounts to comply with your GL Account format. Remember
to include the correct Report Category in these accounts for reporting purposes.
