Opera 3 1.30: Coming Soon
Development and testing for phase III of Opera 3 is well under way with release scheduled for the end of October. The new functionality and enhancements planned evolve the product proposition including:
- Landed Costs
- Retrospective Aged Debtors and Creditor Reporting
- Stock take improvements
- Repeat Invoices in the Scheduler
Landed Costs
Landed Costs are the additional costs incurred in getting goods you have purchased overseas from your supplier to your premises, such as freight, import duty, warehousing etc. It is important to keep track of landed costs in order to know the true profitability when selling your stock.
Opera 3 (1.30) will include landed costs functionality. This will allow you to automatically calculate and record the expected landed costs at the time of performing various stock-related postings, such as when receiving stock via a purchase order.
These landed costs can be posted to the Nominal Ledger to ensure more accurate Profit & Loss and Balance Sheet reporting, and will also be included within various Stock-related processes, such as the Stock Valuation Report, to provide a more accurate picture of the true value of your stock.
Retrospective Debtors and Creditors Reporting
At present, the Debtors and Creditors reports within Opera 3 allow you to view the outstanding debt “as at today”. New Retrospective Debtors and Creditors reporting will be introduced into Opera 3 to allow you to show the outstanding debt “as at a specific date in the past”.
Stocktake Discovery
New options available during the creation of a Stock take will let you include traceable items that don’t yet have batch or serial numbers, and choose whether or not to include zero quantity batches. In addition, the new Discovered Items feature will allow you to add to the ongoing Stocktake any unexpected batch or serial numbers found during the count.
To speed up data entry it will be possible to rapidly mark all known serial numbers for a particular item as found or not.
Repeat Invoices in the Scheduler
The Scheduler currently allows a number of tasks in Opera 3 to be scheduled to run automatically. In Opera 3 (1.30), Scheduler functionality will be extended to include running repeat invoices. This will allow a batch of repeat invoices to be scheduled to run unattended at a time that suits you.
