This is a new selection parameter that filters accounts where there are no outstanding transactions greater or equal to the number of specified days.
Batch Printing or Emailing
The maximum number of documents, such as sales invoices and statements, that can be processed has been increased to 400 at any one time.
NatWest (RBS) Bankline Ad hoc Bulk Payment
This new bank payment format is supported for paying multiple accounts with a resulting single entry in the bank statement (Aqilla Single BACS payment method). The existing Bankline payment export format has been renamed to Bankline Standard Domestic. In other words, when paying hundreds or thousands of creditors the system now generates a single payment transaction making for more straightforward reconciliation.
XML REST API
A new option enables the list of valid VAT Rates (VAT Code and Description) to be queried so 3rd party systems integrated with Aqilla via the API can directly access the current VAT values in use at the time.
This enhancement provides for three additional, user-definable, Super Entity types with the ability to configure additional information specific to that type of entity.
Invoice Paid Date
To give better feedback to users working with sales or purchase invoices and who may not have full access to financial transactions within the Aqilla ledger itself, when an invoice has been fully paid, the Paid Date is now displayed as part of the original invoice document header view.
PDF Digital Certificates / Digital Signing
It is now possible to apply a digital certificate to any PDF document created by Aqilla. This can be of particular benefit when sending invoices or statements as a recipient of the document can check that the document has not been tampered with. The standard browser PDF viewers will not show the presence of a certificate, but these can be examined with products such as Adobe “Acrobat Reader DC”. To make the presence of a certificate more obvious it is also possible to modify templates to display a visual representation of a certificate or signature.
Aqilla Add-in Version 2020.12
The Aqilla Microsoft Excel Add-In now provides enhanced handling of uploaded documents.

Improvements
Custom Analysis Entities in the Additional Criteria tree of Ledger and Account Enquiries are displayed using their user-friendly names.
In views without the header band (document entry summary views, Enquiry views), the focus is no longer placed on the first parameter control. Previously using keyboard arrows to scroll through the result set could re-run the enquiry view if the focus was placed on the Enquiry Profile control.
Internal refactoring of the Account entity resulting in the Audit Viewer displaying changes of certain properties (VAT Area, Payment Method, Preset VAT) in a user-friendly way.
A number of enhancements and fixes to Custom Analysis Entities, including copying them from POs to GRNs and PIMs.
The paid date on invoices is set for historic transactions.
HMRC VAT MTD date range: as per HMRC instructions: 1) The date range is limited to 366 days; 2) The earliest possible “From” date is 1 April 2019.
New Features

Extracting data from Aqilla using the “getAnalysisEntities” function
Updating Super entities via the Add-in
If any documents have been configured to use Super Entities these will be automatically added to the add-in version of the document and the contents validated.
Statement of Accounts
The Statement of Accounts (previously Debtor Statements) function has been enhanced to provide additional feature
Min Balance Age (Days) is a new selection parameter that filters accounts where there are no outstanding transactions greater or equal to the number of specified days. This option can be particularly useful to identify and chase late payers. The filter works in the same way as in the Aged Analysis Reports.
Aged Totals in printed statements. Normally, the summary of aged totals printed at the bottom of a statement are based on the Transaction Date of each transaction.
July
Aqilla User Notifications
A new event User Notification feature has been added which extends the capability of Aqilla Smart Events. Users will now note the presence of a ‘Notification Bell’ icon at the top right hand side of the browser window
Smart Event Collaboration Support
Whilst Smart Events have been a feature of Aqilla for many years, the functionality has been enhanced in two significant ways; allowing users to specify multiple recipients of notifications displayed in the the Smart Events home screen gadget (and therefore now also therefore the new Notification Bell feature)
Statement of Accounts – Ageing Criteria
A new setting is available in Instance Settings within the Miscellaneous section to control the way the aged totals are calculated at the bottom of a statement of account
Transaction Matching
The Select additional criteria option has been given greater emphasis and it is now possible to remove the additional criteria by choosing <Remove Selection>.
New Payments Export format: HSBC Faster Payments.
The HSBC BACS Faster Payments bank payment format is now supported in addition to the existing HSBC BACS standard payments format. This can be selected in Configuration-Company Edit-Payments Export Format.
