MoneyWorks 9


MoneyWorks 9 is a major upgrade, laying the groundwork for the future with native support for the new Apple Silicon M1 processor, and full 64 bit for Windows.

MoneyWorks Services allow the automatic installation of opt-in modules, allowing you to choose additional features that you find useful.

  • Bank Feeds
  • Load the latest bank transactions directly into MoneyWorks, with optional automatic coding using auto-allocation rules.

  • Invoice Automation
  • Have supplier invoices and/or customer purchase orders directly entered into MoneyWorks with no re-keying.

  • e-invoicing
  • Send and receive invoices electronically using the international PEPPOL standard.

MoneyWorks Services are available on all appropriate MoneyWorks products (for example, e-invoicing is not available for Cashbook as Cashbook does not support invoicing). Additional services will be added over time.

The fully integrated asset register allows for the easy management of your assets, including acquisition, depreciation, revaluation and disposal. A comprehensive record of the events that affect each asset is maintained, allowing for better asset management.

  • Manage asset acquisition and disposal, with links back to corresponding accounting entry.
  • Monthly, quarterly or annual depreciation using straight line or diminishing value.
  • Revalue assets, automatically recording gains or impairment.
  • Maintain asset "groups", such as desks, chairs.
  • Record asset location, department and serial number, along with image.
  • Keep notes on events in the life of each asset.
  • Import asset information from other systems.
  • Asset categories simplify management of like assets.
  • Comprehensive reporting on assets and their history..

INTRODUCING SOFTWARE MAINTENANCE

Annual software maintenance is introduced on all products from version 9


Going forward, we intend to move to continuous delivery of improvements to the software, rather than big leap upgrades. In future we will be making more frequent, smaller upgrades, which will be accessible through the normal Help>Software Updates facility in MoneyWorks. This will help us (and you) take advantage of new technologies, and to meet the regulatory changes that are increasingly being imposed by various governments.

To cover the cost of these developments we are introducing an annual software maintenance fee for all MoneyWorks products, something that has worked very well for our MoneyWorks Datacentre users for over fifteen years. This is calculated at just 1% per month of the retail price of your MoneyWorks product, and is payable in advance after twelve months. By keeping current with maintenance, you will have access to continuous updates and improvements.

This is an optional charge—if you choose not to adopt it, you can remain on the version of MoneyWorks current at the time your maintenance expires, but will not have access to subsequent updates (until you catch up on your maintenance, which would keep accruing).


SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

  • Mac 10.12 (Sierra) or later required
  • Windows Windows 7 or later required (Windows 10 recommended); 64 bit required for MoneyWorks Datacentre server host.
