The purchase requisitions Power Automate automatically sends emails to people to notify them during the authorisation process.

  • Authorisers will receive email notifications when they have new purchase requisitions that require authorisation.
  • The person who submitted the purchase requisition will receive an email notification when it is authorised or rejected.

Bank Reconciliation Improvements

Following feedback we received from you, we are pleased to announce these improvements for bank reconciliation:

  • If you don't want to reconcile the full amount of the transaction, it can part be reconciled.

    The remaining amount of the transaction can be reconciled the next time you do your bank reconciliation.

    The transaction will be marked with a status of Part, to indicate it has been part reconciled.

  • You can now see the URN of a transaction when you reconcile or unreconcile.
Scan and Attach Documents Feature Expansion

You will be able to attach files and scanned documents in the following areas:

  • Sales Ledger Transactions, invoice and credit note (can also be accessed via Nominal Ledger Transactions Enquiry).
  • Through Confirm Goods Received and Confirm Service / Text Items Received.
  • In Delivery history for purchase orders and returns.
Reverse charge VAT for CIS

Note: Since this article was created the government have delayed the date to which this legislation comes into action from October 2019 to March 2021, more information can be found here.

As of March 2021, those working in the UK's construction industry might have to handle and pay VAT in a different way following the introduction of the new VAT reverse charge system for the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS).

For supplies of certain specified construction services, the customer will be liable to account to HMRC for the VAT for these purchases instead of the supplier. The reverse charge will include goods, where those goods are supplied with the specified services.

For full compliance with the CIS, you will need to use a third-party CIS module for Sage 200.

CIS is only applicable for companies in the UK, and not Ireland

Other Improvements
  • You can now set your EORI number in company details. This is required by UK companies trading in the EU, and Irish companies trading outside the EU.
  • You can now set the Country of Origin for a stock item when using a UK company. This feature was previously only available for Irish companies.
  • If you can't open a feature because other people are using a related feature, such as changing settings, you can now see a list of who is preventing access. 
  • Based on your feedback, you can now show the default contact's email address on the Customers' List and Suppliers' List.
  • We've changed the calculations for the totals on invoices and orders when notional VAT rates are used.
