Product updates

March 2024

Invoice and closing:

• Changed structure for handling closure. We have added options for "Record Paid Fees" and "Remove Fees". This provides better functionality for invoicing and payment of fees (e.g. early payment fees and interest).
• It has happened that closing does not work for fast accounting or posting of difference manually due to small decimals in the calculations, for example (0.0001). This has now been fixed.
• We have improved logging for postings and closings, so that such actions and who performed them are now visible. However, it does not provide detailed information yet, but we are working on expanding and improving this functionality.
• Payments via KID: Automatic registration of paid invoices when including interest and fees.
• Registration of vouchers: Automatic creation of a payment voucher when marked as paid.
• Ledger:
  • New filtering options for better searches.
  • Filter terms and search terms must be completed and actively searched before the search begins; auto search when typing in the search field started led to slowness, which has now been reduced with the new solution.
• Tutorial videos: We have increased the production of new tutorial videos for efficient use of Catacloud. You can find these in our help center, and on spring YouTube channel.

February 2024

New filters for reporting

• We have introduced new filters for reporting, which gives you more opportunities to compare results with the fjord year in more ways than before.
• Improved export functionality for PDF and Excel files.

January 2024

New year, new updates! Here are some highlights from the first few weeks of 2024.

• Fine-tuning of salary arrears (the one-to-many functionality is now improved)
• Improved functionality for advanced vouchers and automatic completions.
• Improved handling of SAF-T files, which effectively removes file size limitations.
• Improved accuracy related to ear rounding.
• Refinement of salary payments.

In the first half of 2024, we will also focus on the following:

Reporting functionality: We are working on launching extended reporting functionality, including comparison with last year. 

Banking functionality: We are working to improve the banking functionality. There are a number of challenges that are currently beyond our control, but we are determined to find solutions that will provide stable and efficient banking functionality in Catacloud. 

In all of this, our main focus remains simple: To make everyday life for accountants easier and more efficient. 

November 2023

ATTENTION! We are currently working on some changes to the backend system that deals with login. This will not have major impacts to begin with, but it will make it possible for us to eventually implement, among other things, two-factor authentication for logging into Catacloud. 

This change will cause some downtime in the system 29.11 at 18:00.

If you experience errors in the system after this, the solution will be to log out and back in. If you still experience errors, you must contact our customer service via chat or phone 960 03 377.

May 2023

Locking of accounting periods

Catacloud has now launched a new and improved version of accounting closure. You can find this under administration -> accounting.

To lock a period, select a date you want to lock to. Once a date has been selected, it is not possible to edit the accounts before this date. If you have to edit the accounts, you have the option to unlock the accounts. You do this by choosing a "lock date" back in time. It is important to enter a comment for why the period was reopened.
History with who has locked, unlocked as well as date and comment is saved and available.

"Registrants who store recorded information electronically as a basis for
preparation of specifications of mandatory accounting reporting, shall close
the accounting periods." Ref NBS 1, ch 8.1. This also applies to those who do not submit a VAT return.

Invoicing

Launched support for subscriptions (ie recurring billing). This will give you as a user a simpler and more efficient way to manage regular invoicing.

With this new function, you will now be able to create subscriptions for services or products that you invoice regularly to your customers. You will also be able to set up different billing plans, such as weekly, monthly or yearly, depending on your needs.

By using invoice subscription, the program will automatically generate your invoices and send them out to your customers at the agreed times. This will give you a simpler and more streamlined invoicing process, and you will also be able to save time and resources.

We hope this new function will be of great help to you and your company. If you have questions or need help setting up subscriptions in the accounting program, you can contact our customer support.

Maestro integration

Catacloud + maestro = effective annual settlement! This means that Catacloud's customers can seamlessly transfer their accounts to Maestro to carry out annual settlements. Maestro is a solid, user-friendly and flexible annual settlement program, which is set up for the new tax return.

With Maestro, this becomes both easier and more efficient.
