Integrated Billing

This new billing module is fully integrated with the core of the Financials framework, so in many cases - though depending on the complexity of billing structures - there is no need for integrations with third-party billing systems.

The user-defined product catalogue - with individual item characteristics and rules - ensures accurate, complete and up-to-date data in your invoices and general ledger.

In order to comply with your invoice layout policies, you can easily design invoice templates in a drag-and-drop way and define invoice layouts and customer statements.

Flexi Fields on Transactions

The Flexi Field capability on element level has been extended to transaction level, which allows you to capture unlimited amounts of business-specific dimensions, perform more detailed analyses, and calculate more detailed KPIs and intelligence, in order to support both strategic and operational decision-making.

Transactions that contain both financial and business dimensions will allow you to make more detailed and powerful analyses in our performance management solution (prevero) as well.

Element Workflow

In order to ensure the accuracy of master data and minimize the risk of fraudulent creation or modification of key master data - e.g. supplier details - workflow capabilities have been added for creating and approving master data.

These workflow capabilities allow you to enforce the 4-eye principle for creation of new elements and business dimensions and will also minimize the risk of duplication or errors in the chart of accounts.

Miscellaneous EnhancementsThe new release also delivers a range of other advances across the various functional areas of the solution. These are driven by planned developments, as well as customer enhancement requests, new statutory requirements and market innovations.

• Single user profile with designated capabilities per company

• Transaction lines allow multiple attachments, e.g. contract & invoice

• Ledgers can contain both financial and user-defined data

- Additional columns with, for example, flexi fields

• User security enhancements improve data integrity and mitigate risk

- Password rules

- Rights for unlocking and deactivating users

• Separate debit and credit currency write-off improves analysis

• Unique pay proposal codes for easier identification and analysis

• Ability to create multiple dimensions consecutively with the assisted element template

• Single Sign-On across multiple domains via the Unit4 Identity Server enables 2-factor and cloud authentication

• Ability to invoke customizer from within the browser framework

• Field derivation improvements in input screens ensure accurate and efficient data input
