12-19-07 Year-end EFW2 Changes The Social Security Administration decided that “Magnetic
Media” was an outdated term, so they have changed “MMREF” (Magnetic Media Reporting
Electornic Filing) to “EFW2” (Electronic Filing for W2’s). And of course they couldn’t
leave well enough alone, so they added a “Software Vendor Code” field to the “Submitter
Fields”. Included with this update is a new “PRM” file which reflects these changes.
12-17-07 Year-end payroll forms and tax changes The W-2 form was (of course) changed
again. The employee social security box was switched with the Control Number box
, to make it less likely for employee social security numbers to show through in
a window envelope. (Actually one of the more sensible changes in recent years!)
10-2-07 Bank Reconciliation Check Sequence Warning In the Bank Reconciliation routine,
we installed warning message if you have reused a check number sequence. If you
receive this message, please contact Control G Support and we will assist you in
renumbering your old checks.
07-02-07 Payroll Percentage Deductions In the payroll module, we added payroll options
to cause Fixed #1 or Fixed #4 deduction to act as a percentage if: the deduction
is less than 1.00 and the Agency Name option "F4 (or F1) is % if < 1" is activated.
Related is a new payroll Agency Name option "Add Back Pre-Gross 4 % F1" (which means
Add Back Pre-Gross when calculating the Fixed #1 Percentage Deduction) & "Add Back
Pre-Gross 4 % F4" which will add back the Pre Gross' deduction for calculation purposes.
06-14-07 A/R Statements Sort Option In the A/R Statement printing routine (open
invoice option), we added a sort choice (either Invoice # or date).
05-20-07 Pick List or Entry List Option The A/P Aging Routine and the A/R Aging
Routines provide options for limiting these reports to specific vendors or clients.
These routines default to providing a “Pick List” of vendors or clients. If you
would prefer to manually list selected vendors or clients, call us and we’ll show
you how to alert the system to this alternative behavior.
04-17-07 [Alt+F5] Standard Print Option Over the years, we have developed many
alternative reports for certain reporting routines. Many of you actually utilize
both the standard and the alternative reports. This option will allow you to change
report settings on the fly from the “Standard Printer Device” screen.
03-30-07 Pending Charges Date Limit We added a "Date Limit" to the "Pending Charges
Summary" report. Please realize that this does not make this an “as of” report,
it simply limits the reporting to the “Date Limit” specified.
03-26-07 Expanded Payroll Masterfile In the payroll employee masterfile, we expanded
the employee name and City State Zip field into separate fields - we also added
a birth date field. We also changed all corresponding payroll reports and procedures
to accommodate these expanded fields.
03-23-07 Strata Exceptions Log In the media import procedure, we activated the "exceptions
log" feature for Strata media imports.
03-23-07 Employee Earnings Summary Report We created new "Employee Earnings Summary"
payroll report. This report is only available during employee masterfile maintenance
by pressing the [Shift+F7] key combination at the employee browse screen (of course
at the employee for which you are requesting this information).
01-17-07 Optional Vendor Payment Report VENPYMT2 report now included in report database.
01-17-07 A/R Aging Client Select Pick List We changed the A/R Aging "Client Select"
procedure to a “Pick List” ([Spacebar] toggle). If you prefer to manually enter
your list of clients, see Pick List or Entry List option above.
