coldpie:

Well most of the templates deliberately omit the standard payment terms field "Payment terms: 30 days" etc. But you're right, that shouldn't really apply to the 'custom terms' you've entered.

We've now tweaked our code to show the custom terms whenever the templates would normally display a due date.

Sorry for any inconvenience; it should work as you expect now...

custom payment terms

Hi there,

I'm trying to create and invoice with "custom payment terms" - however it doesn't show up on the invoice anywhere (although the standard terms are removed). Is this an issue with the template i'm using? (its the second on on the list of selections in customise template). Also it seems that the due date is still the standard - does custom payment terms not override the normal? do i need to put it in in a certain format?

cheers
Chris

Chris,

We've got to the bottom of this now (a subtle bug but our fault, of course) and will be fixing this tonight.

@coldpie,

We're checking this out - shouldn't happen but for speed we do store the results of the P&L calculations until something changes in that period. Sounds like we may have missed on of those changes. Sorry 'bout that.

In the meantime I've reset your stored calculations so the numbers should be right.

Monthly profit & loss prob

Hi there,

I just noticed a little issue with the Monthly profit and loss - not a big deal but...
I updated some expenses I'd entered previously last night because i'd accidentally put them as Dec 08 instead of Dec 07. The monthly profit and loss hasn't updated yet though and is still showing expenses for Dec 08. Is this because this is only updated every 24 hours or something or an error?

Cheers
Chris

You have probably already noticed but FreeAgent now has a Monthly P&L report in Accounting > Monthly Profit and Loss.

That clears it up - thanks.

Olly replied on June 24, 2008 07:47 to the problem "Monthly Profit & Loss chart problem" in FreeAgent Central:

Hi there

A month column is greyed out to indicate that the data for that month might not be complete. This could be because that month falls outside the selected accounting period (e.g. Accounting Year 2008/09), or if the start of that month is prior to the FreeAgent Start Date, or if we're still in that month (e.g. June 08).

In your case, June is greyed out because we're still in that month and April is probably grey because of the actual accounting dates for this period. This could be the case if, for example, your First Accounting Year End Date (Settings > Accounting Dates) is not an end-of-month date.

Related issue - why are my totals for May highlighted and yet April and June are faded?

@coldpie,

As we've just discussed via email, it sounds like it's all looking good now.

Ed Molyneux replied on June 20, 2008 14:33 to the problem "Monthly Profit & Loss chart problem" in FreeAgent Central:

@coldpie,

Thanks for the heads-up - we have indeed found an issue with the way we are storing the results of these calculations and will have this fixed before the end of today.

Sorry for the inconvenience in the meantime.

Monthly Profit & Loss chart problem

Hi,
I think the new Monthly Profit & Loss chart seems to be wrong (at least for me).
Looking at 07-08 for month of Mar 08 - my sales are down as £150 - whereas I actually invoiced £5840 (and your help suggestions ... "FreeAgent uses what's called 'accrual' accounting - so invoices are included from the invoice date, not from when the invoice is paid"). Any thoughts?
Cheers
Chris

Hey,
I've been giving this some more thought.

The data that is displayed in the Invoice Payment Timeline graph is great, however it only goes back three months, and forward one. If you could present this information in some kind of table, but for all moths that data is available (both back and forward in time), it would pretty much cover what I'm after. I just want to be able to see how much I made in X month, and how much I've got coming in the next few months.

Of course, to calculate real income figures involves far more than just invoice values, but that's all I'm really interested in here.

Leisa,

Message received - we'll add that idea into the mix when we get going with this stuff...
