First National Bank (FNB) has the option to have bank statements delivered to your email address automatically every month. You can even specify that it should be in CSV format to import it into your financiaal system. Additionally they allow three (3) email addresses you can setup to send it to.

The format between the personal CSV file and the Business format is different. Therefore LPF created a new option to use when you import the data. Download the latest version of the Bank Statement Import and select the Business Email option when importing the data.

If you have any problems or need additional information, please contact us.

The LPF AgriBusiness VAT Report has now an option to report on the History (data posted during year end) data as well. Normally VAT will be calculated only on the current (before year end) data. You can change this behaviour if necessary.

The better option is to Accept the VAT ‘period’ after you have done the VAT Report. That way all the trasactions linked to this report, are marked with the VAT Period as indicated (i.e. 201104 for April 2011). This also ensures that you can reproduce the particular VAT Report on demand.

If you have not used this report in this way, calculate the VAT up to a particular transaction number and date AND allocate it to period say “X”. Remember to Include the History as well. Once you have accepted this report, the system will mark all the trannsactions with the VAT Period  as “X”. Now you can continue using ‘proper’ periods for you VAT intervals.

You can download the update form the Downloads section (Reports Module) or by clicking on here.

The LPF AgriBusiness module to import Coop statements posts the data twice to the worksheet.

This problem occurred where you have multiple Statement numbers in one month. The program import then all the data for each unique statement number. We have rectify this and will import the data in statement order.

You may delete the duplicates on the worksheet to fix the problem or you can download the latest Coop statements module to update the program.

LPF has added support for FNB (First National bank) ‘s emailed history statements for their  AgriBusiness and Express software products.

We have described how to get the bank statements to be delivered to your email account in detail in our blog before.

This addition wil save you time and effort to get and import your bank statements into LPF’s financial systems.

You can download the AgriBusiness or Express versions of the path or get it from the Downloads section of our web site.

We have upgraded our already clever Bank Statements module to make the import of your bank statement easier!

You know that once you have imported the file, you can double click on a line and specify how you want to link the transaction. That means you have to run through a couple of months to ensure you catch them all. Until now!

Now the program would use an existing link by default but if it can’t find any, it would determine the last transaction from the current worksheet for the specific bank account and description and use the details specified there ( account, center, allocation and vat). AND it would add this info to your list of links! You can then double click on the transaction to change the info or fine-tune it.

We also have an option to remove all your current links so you can start from scratch if necessary. You will find this under Setup and Clear Links.

Remember, you can press the F1 key to get some help how to do all of this.

Upgrade to the latest version of the Bank Statements module of LPF Agribusiness or LPF Expresss. This update fix some problems with Nedbank files.

1. The OFC/OFX downloaded file did not show the Descriptions once the file was imported. Nedbank uses a different fieldname to specify the description. This has been fixed now.

2. For the normal CSV files, you have currently two version. The main difference is the way Nedbank formats the date. Generally use V2 and if that that does not work, revert back to V1. V2 use to give a ‘Type Mismatch’ error when you select the wrong version. We have added some error trapping to allow you to continue working on this module if you selected the ‘wrong’ version.

Download and apply the update for LPF Agribusiness or LPF Expresss.
