September 25th, 2009

Update: New hardware up and running – enjoy!

We’re really sorry about the service interruption yesterday!  We experienced some unexpected issues with our servers and restored the service as soon as possible.

Due to strong growth in new signups we’re upgrading our infrastructure this weekend to better cope with the load and provide the smooth service you’re used to (only two incidents since Jan 2008 which resulted in downtime).

New Features
July 31st, 2009

We’ve been getting a lot of emails in the past months regarding the invoicing module and requests for new features. As usual, we built the most requested ones. These new features will be live starting the 1st of August. Here’s what’s new: - billed/unbilled time – this new feature will automatically mark time entries as billed after you create an invoice based on them. You no longer have to keep track of which hours you have billed and not billed or re-check previous invoices to see what was already billed and how much you need to bill now. The next time when you will create an invoice for a project using the “Add From Timesheet” button, only the unbilled hours will be included (unless you override that by checking “Exclude Billed Time” in the “Select Report Parameters” popup). Please note that all time entries created before the 1st of August 00:00 GMT will be marked as billed. If you need to invoice prior to that, you will have to uncheck the “Exclude Billed Time” checkbox and select the appropriate the appropriate time interval.

Paymo – KashFlow integration, beta testers needed
May 27th, 2009

Dear KashFlow users, we invite you to beta test the Paymo – Kashflow integration module. To test the integration module please login to Paymo and type in this link in the URL box:
http://your_company.paymo.biz/sync/ (replace your_company with your Paymo subdomain).

The Sync with KashFlow works in both directions.

Before the actual sync, the system will analyze data on both sides and will display a list of actions. Each action will have a checkbox that you have to check in order the action to be performed. By default, add and update actions will be checked, delete action won’t be checked.
Sync actions are listed in 2 groups: Paymo -> Kashflow, and Kashflow -> Paymo. In each group, the actions are performed on the destination side.
E.g. an add action in the Paymo -> Kashflow group will add the item in Kashflow.
Due to hierarchical structure of items (clients, invoices, payments), checking/unchecking some actions will affect its parent/child dependencies. Adding a sub-item will force add on the parent items. Deleting a parent item will delete all child items.
E.g. When checking an add invoice, add client for that invoice (if the client was not yet added) will be checked too.
When checking delete for a client, all dependent invoices and payment will be checked for delete too.
After a sync, our system will remember the associations between ids of items on both sides. This is used when checking for updates.
A ‘Link’ action means: we’ve detected items with the same name on both sides (kashflow and paymo) which were not sync’d before, and we’d like to register that as a link.
