There are hundreds of new and improved features added to Web Suite every year. The major features in Web Suite 2016 include:
Send Multiple Attachments as a Single File: If you are attaching receipts and other backup documents to your invoices and sending them by email to your clients, you might be overloading your clients with too many email attachments. In Web Suite 2016, you can send all invoice-related attachments as a single .zip file. This not only minimizes the email attachments, but also makes it easy for your clients to find all the backup documents inside one file. Your clients will thank you for this and hopefully pay their invoices faster.
Auto-Update Project Data: Here is an easy way to change the invoice templates, fee schedules, payment terms or currency on all projects for a specific client; make the change in the client record and let Web Suite update all the associated projects automatically.
Backup SQL Database: No need to call your IT person or remote into your SQL server to back up your BillQuick SQL database. In Web Suite 2016, we added the capability to initiate the backup within the application. Safe and simple.
Auto-Include Phases: When reviewing the time, expense or invoice data for a project with phases, simply select the parent project and then Web Suite automatically includes all its phases and sub-phases. This is an efficient way to preview the data on your project with one click.
Memo on Pay Vendor Bills: Want to add a check or EFT memo to the bills paid through the Pay Vendor Bills screen? We added a new Memo attribute in the Pay Vendor Bills screen that automatically populates the memo field on the associated check. No more double editing.
Project Level Retainer: While Web Suite always supported project retainer, it was not possible to receive a retainer for a parent project and then let its phases use it. With Web Suite 2016, you can now receive the retainer at the top level and then apply all or a portion of that retainer to its phases and sub-phases.
Organize Purchase Order Items with Line Numbers: If you want your purchase order line items to be sorted in a certain order, you can now control the order by moving lines up and down and letting Web Suite auto-assign line numbers to them.
Time and Expense by Class: Here is another powerful use of the Class attribute in Web Suite. We added a brand new “View by Class” filter to the Reviewer screen to allow you to view all the time and expense data specific to the selected class or a range of classes.
Line Items by Account in Vendor Bills: In Web Suite 2016, you can now have the vendor bill line items link directly to a specific chart of account and therefore bypass the need to specify the expense item.
Detail View of Unpaid Expenses: When you are writing a check to a vendor with unpaid expenses, Web Suite 2016 alerts you of the unpaid vendor expenses and lets you select the ones you are planning to pay. A huge time saver if the expenses are already in the system.
Powerful New Reports: We have added quite a few useful reports to Web Suite 2016.
Performance Improvement: Web Suite 2016 is compiled using Dot Net Framework 4.5. This works with the latest version of the operating system such as Windows 10 and you will also notice significant performance improvements throughout the program.
Windows Authentication (AD) Login Supported: Web Suite 2016 allows you to use Windows Authentication option. This feature allows direct login into the Web Suite application.
Convert Employee to Vendor: You can now convert any employee to a vendor with a single click.
Process and Print Draft Invoices: Now you can process and print draft invoices with a single click from the Invoice Review screen.
