List of Key enhancements/changes

Report Writer enhancements.

General:

Users can now incorporate the "Alternate Chart of Accounts" functionality when building Report Writer reports (full details of this feature can be found in articles within the product help section of Zendesk).
Reports can now be selected to run against a Mondial defined "Ledger Type" (full details of this feature can be found in articles within the product help section of Zendesk).

Both these features further facilitate the use of the report writer as a means of providing GAAP, IFRS and Group Reporting compliant information.

Drill down functionality, previously available in templated reports (e.g. Trial Balance), is now available from reports generated from the report writer:
- Drill down is available from reports created using either the local Chart of Accounts or Alternate Chart of account sets.
- Where Alternate account sets include 'hierarchies', drill-down will support analytical drill down within the hierarchy, through to the associated local accounts and then to transactions.
- Please note that drill down is currently available to reports rendered as WEB output. The functionality will be extended to PDF rendered reports in a subsequent release.

Row formats:

A known issue where zero values were appearing in rows that should be blank has been resolved.

Column layouts:

Greater control and choice has been added within column header definition (in Column layouts) when referencing dates, months and periods.

The list of available element codes has been expanded as follows:

Definition	Mondial Reference	Output
Date	Relative_Date	31 March 2018
Short Date	Relative_Date_Short	31/03/2018
Month	Relative_Month	March 2018
Short Month	Relative_Month_Short	Mar-18
Period	Relative_Period	Period 3 2018
Short Period	Relative_Period_Short	Per-3 2018

In the April 30th 2021 release, additional functionality was introduced to provide column-based transaction type filters (source system transactions and Mondial generated adjustments). In this release, the list of Mondial based transaction types has been expanded to include currency translation adjustments.
A column sorting issue in column layouts incorporating more than 26 columns has been resolved.

Accounting Adjustments enhancements

Adjustments Template Transactions

When a user enters or updates a journal based transaction, a dropdown list is now available which allows a user to select which Ledger Types the journal is associated with.
- On a new journal - by default - all Ledger Types are checked and the user has to uncheck the ones not required for that journal
- On an already saved journal template - which is reopened - the previous settings for Ledger Types remain in force unless changed by the user

The overall value of this function is that each journal entered in Mondial may be associated with each Ledger Type set up in Mondial. This provides high levels of flexibility, adjustment capability, and auditability for users wishing to correctly align with each regulatory authority to which they need to report.

Translation Adjustments:

A new form has been added to the Accounting Adjustments menu to allow users to process currency translation adjustments (full details of this feature can be found in articles within the product help section of Zendesk).

Miscellaneous Bug Fixes

For users with PLEX: A Data Correction for Voided Plex Invoices was causing multiple reversals within Mondial. This has been resolved
