New Feature

Matter Management

Contact aliases (trade names) are now retrieved via the CVR integration (DK Only)

It is now possible to save and search for aliases and previous names on contacts.

When company information is retrieved via the CVR integration (Virk.dk), all registered names and aliases are automatically downloaded and saved on the contact. Aliases can also be added manually.

Viewing and editing: Click the square with three dots next to the Name field on the Client Card or Party Card to view and edit aliases.

Searching: In Contact and Relation Search, a new checkbox, "Aliases", has been added under "Search in". When checked, the search also includes aliases. The field is activated automatically when searching by Name or Company Name. The search result displays the matched alias in a new Alias column.

This functionality requires the CVR API to be set to Advanced in the Abakion Legal Setup. (3305)

Reports have been improved

  • The English translations in the "Matter – Statement" report have been corrected. (3264)

  • The selected filters are now displayed at the top of the "Revenue by Work Type/Resource Group" report, making it always clear what the report covers. (3288)

Blocked Work Types Now Hidden When using Look Up from the Timer Card

When the list of work types is opened from a Timer, only work types available for time registration are now shown. Work types marked with "Blocked" and "Block Time Registration Only" are hidden. (3276)

It Is Now Possible to Configure a Secondary DMS

It is now possible to configure a secondary document management system, allowing two different document systems to be used simultaneously.

This feature is particularly useful for:

  • Migrating from one document system to another

  • Setups where different clients use different document systems

When a secondary document management system is configured, documents are automatically routed to the correct system based on the setting on the client's contact card:

  • Clients linked to SharePoint have their documents handled in SharePoint

  • Clients linked to another document system are handled there

  • Clients without an individual setting use the primary document management system

If no secondary document management system is specified, the solution works as before and all clients use the primary document management system. (3202)

Partner Login Access Improved

Delegated admin users (partner login) can now map their user ID to an employee card to avoid errors related to long usernames. The feature is supported in selected parts of matter management and time registration, but does not apply to bookkeeping processes. (3306)

Invoicing

Buttons for Marking Disbursements Improved

The buttons for marking customer ledger entries as disbursements now use the VAT product posting group from two new setup fields in Abakion Legal Finance Setup. Previously, the first VAT product posting group with the correct percentage was automatically selected.

This change makes it possible to precisely control which VAT product posting group is inserted, providing better control and more predictable posting. (3316)

Improved Posting Validation of VAT Groups

Validation has been improved when posting invoices, so that invoices with a mismatch between the VAT Business Posting Group in the invoice header and on the lines cannot be posted. This prevents subsequent errors during reversal or copying of documents. (3209)

Client Reference Is Now Handled Directly on the Sales Invoice via a New Field

The client reference is now transferred from the matter card to a dedicated field on the sales invoice. This makes it possible to adjust the client reference on an individual invoice without having to change the client reference on the matter card.

Standard reports for drafts, invoices, and credit memos have been updated to use the new field. Companies that have had custom reports developed will need to have these adapted before the change takes effect. Printouts that only use an alternative layout to the standard will work without adaptation, as the change exclusively concerns the dataset for the printouts. (3208)

It Is Now Possible to Post an Invoice Containing Only Payments (Amount Information)It Is Now Possible to Post an Invoice Containing Only Payments (Amount Information)

It is now possible to post an invoice that contains only amount information, as generated by importing customer ledger entries onto a draft. Previously, an error occurred when the payments were attempted to be applied against the invoice. This has now been corrected so that application only takes place if there is an amount on the invoice to apply against. (2818)

Payment Information Is Now Also Hidden on Drafts and Posted Invoices

The function to hide payment information has been extended to also apply to drafts and invoices. Payment information is now automatically hidden on invoices with no balance. If payment information should always be displayed, the "Always Show Payment Information" field can be enabled in the Invoicing Setup. (3310)

Merge Fields Added to the Word Reports for Time Specification

Company name, username, and date and time have now been added as merge fields in the Word reports for the time specification. (3307)

Finance

New Report for Comparing Liability Reconciliations

A new report has been added that can compare two liability reconciliations and identify differences between them. For each matter where the reconciliations do not match, the matter number, a description of the difference, amounts from each reconciliation, and the variance are displayed. The report only shows matters with changes and also flags matters that only exist in one of the reconciliations. The report can be used to identify unexpected changes between two reconciliation runs. The report is run by selecting two liability reconciliations in the list. (3010)

Summary Code Can Now Be Automatically Inserted in Liability Adjustment

Liability adjustment from the general journal can now insert a summary code on the journal lines. The summary code ensures that the liability adjustment can be posted even if there is a mandatory client dimension on client collective accounts. The summary code is set up in Abakion Legal Finance Setup via the Liability Adjustment Summary Code field. (3298)


Bug Fixes

Matter Management

Timers Without a Matter Number Are Now Correctly Transferred to Time Registration

A bug has been fixed where timers without a matter number were not transferred to time registration. The error occurred both when registering via the Outlook add-in and from Business Central. The transfer now works correctly. (3299)

Calculation of Date of Birth from CPR Number Improved

When a date of birth is automatically calculated from a CPR number on contacts (clients, parties, etc.), the year is now determined more precisely, so that years after the current year are always placed in the 1900s. (3290)

Global Relations, e.g. Client Responsible, Can Now Be Locked

It is now possible to use global relations, such as client responsible, in the functionality that can lock fields on clients, matters, etc. (3281)

Display of Last Archive Number Fixed

The display of the most recent archive number in fact boxes and on lists has been corrected. Previously, the archive number was not displayed correctly if the structure of the archive number series was changed. The latest number is now independent of the archive number series structure. (3275)

Default Billing Currency Code Is Now Correctly Transferred to New Matters

A bug has been fixed where the Default Billing Currency Code was not transferred when creating new matters (job cards). The default currency is now transferred correctly. The Default Billing Currency Code makes it possible to set up a client with a billing currency code without changing the currency code for regular postings on the client (customer). (3295)

Matter Entries Are Now Correctly Updated When Moved Between Matters in Different Currencies

A bug has been fixed where matter entries/time entries moved between matters in currency and matters in LCY did not have their prices updated correctly.

After the fix, prices are now correctly updated when moving between matters with different currency types. (3282)

Finance

Bank Accounts with Mandatory Client Dimension Code (DEB-DIM) Can Now Be Exchange Rate Adjusted Without Errors

During exchange rate adjustment of client collective accounts, it is now possible to complete the adjustment without specifying the Client dimension (DEB-DIM), even if the bank account requires the dimension to be filled in. (3302)

Manual Dimensions Are No Longer Reset When Entering in the Bal. Account Search No. Field

The functionality that ensures dimensions are not reset when a balancing account is inserted in a journal has been improved and now also supports the "Bal. Account Search No." field. (3297)

Posting Validation Improved

Posting validation has been strengthened to ensure that posting to customers (clients) always requires a matter number. (2965)
