Over the past year SAI have completed numerous product enhancement projects, which collectively and individually enhance the Cashbook product portfolio. Most notable was that of Cashbook IP for BACSTEL IP which was implemented in numerous sites across the UK and in Shared Service Centres in continental Europe.

In the area of AR application, SAI have significantly incorporated new functionalities to improve the product capabilities in handling day to day cash processing. Examples of this include adding the capability to create over-payments against invoices. The option to be able to restore closed invoices has been developed. Date ranges on invoices to be selected and cleared has been developed and the user interface enhanced by toggle functions that display additional invoice references.

Customer driven requests led SAI to improve the Lockbox solutions capabilities even further. The upload of files with invoice payments for multiple BPCS companies is now possible. The SAI Product Development Team also designed a Lockbox Discount Variance Report which offers users of the module a means of improving control over discounts taken and applied.

In the area of Journal Enquiry, SAI has implemented on-screen look ups for posted journals. This covers invoice allocations, GL and tax splits of transactions. The Bank Reconciliation capability has also been enhanced by adding in a sort function and the Direct Debit function has been enhanced with additional email remittance notifications.
