11. Discount was not handled as this was a new feature introduced with V5 of Pastel. It now detects discount if you have entered it when entering your batch.

12. A permanent alternate reference can now be entered against a supplier. This is needed where suppliers require you to quote the same number when paying using electronic banking.

13. A future date can now be nominated for the banking batch. This is useful when preparing to pay suppliers early but instructing the bank not to pay them until a specified date.

EZeBank Release Version 1.5.208

2. Registration procedure enhanced to include License Code within original install disks.

EZeBank Release Version 1.5.nnn (pre 1.5.208)
-------------------------------------------------
1. Payment dissection - will now identify all invoices being paid if it is an open item supplier. This appears on the Payment Advice.

2. Contact information will appear on Payment Advice.

3. Alternate Reference - Sometimes a Supplier (like Telstra) may insist that their reference appear on their statement and Payment Advice. We call this the Alternate Reference. To use this you would enter the ECR number (or what ever number referencing system you have adopted) in Pastel as normal, ensuring all transactions have the same reference number. However in the description field you can indicate what you would like printed on the Payment Advice and the Suppliers bank statement by inserting an '!' then the alternate reference.

For example you could enter, Payment!YOUR REF 000524. When generating the batch EZeBank will search for an occurrence of '!' in the description field. If it finds an '!' it will pick up the first 18 characters after the '!', therefore on the Payment Advice and bank statement it would appear as - YOUR REF 000524 and the $XXXX being paid. If no '!' mark is detected then the electronic reference number will be used as the default.

On the Payment Advice, the Statement Reference (Alternate Reference) and Our Reference (your electronic batch number reference) will both appear.

4. Last used company is highlighted (like Pastel V5) therefore eliminating the necessity of selecting the company you want to process on.

5. Defaults to next reference number when you go to generate the banking batch.

6. Defaults to the last period used, again eliminating necessity to select period.

7. The last run details (Supplier Banking Batch) shows period correctly along with the last reference number used.

8. Locate Form when searching for Suppliers is now similar to Pastel V5 in look and feel.

9. Now includes the ability to register software using a similar procedure to Pastel.
