  1. Can we add functionality that allows users to pre schedule the running of standard CCH reports that are used on frequent basis so that they can be auto generated & saved out for users to access at the appropriate time. This could be a significant time & cost saving for all firms by removing the need for users to spend time manually generating each time e.g. daily / weekly / monthly etc.

  2. It would be helpful to be able to add the Word Developer functionality when designing/editing templates - ie.dropdown choice boxes and paragraph content control boxes.
    Alternatively optional paragraphs added to the template -triggered by the clients data or choices chosen by the user

  3. Encrypt or hides the SQL sa password contained in the lookup.xml file present on every copy of CCH Central.

    This is a huge oversight. Meaning any of our users can easily obtain our SQL sa password stored in plain text on every deploy folder and potentially destroy our SQL CCH DB.

  4. CCH Practice - a function to start recording time spent on client accounts. For example, once a client file is opened, then option to start the clock and record amount of minutes spent. Then when closed, add notes for what was done - chargeable or not.

  6. Our invoice numbering was reset due to a fault with Central and when we restored the numbering sequence to match our original invoices, the invoices that were created afterwards don't sort correctly in Full Billing History.

    So instead of them following eg 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 etc (in ascending order) they might look like 5, 1, 2, 3, 4 where 5 is an invoice after the reset.

  7. In Document Centre, when trying to filter in the search area, the drop down menu doesn't show the complete list. It's hard to explain without an image, but the list becomes transaparent and then only shows the items the mouse is selecting.

    This is relating to a drawing issue affected by scaling in display settings for a specfic monitor. If the monitor is not set at 100% scaling, regardless of the resolution, then this appears to occur.

    There is a script fix available should the problem occur. However, please can this fix be built into an update rather than have…

  9. Can the next accounts made up to date be populated from Companies House Data. The ARD and filing deadline are there but it would be very useful to be able to report on actual year end dates.

    Thank you for adding this to UserVoice.

    I will review this suggestion in the near future when I will be able to gauge the interest of other customers.

  10. Please remove the orphaned Digital Tax > HMRC Authorisation option from maintenance menu in CCH Central. I have wasted 2x days authorising our DTA and just learned this option does not do anything for authorising DTA.

  12. Record commentary on accounts and tax returns for clients. Ability to have a cloud recording tool like LOOM.com (https://www.loom.com/)

    The idea is to record a commentary for clients to view along with accounts sent for approval, by going through the pages of accounts and tax return, explaining the figures and referring to any workings. Then send with accounts for them to view via a link to the Cloud site. Can also be sent via CCH Central.

    I currently do this for some of my clients using LOOM.com, a free software where you can record a video and a…

  13. We are unable to change a contact type (from LLP to Limited for example). I can see this makes sense where tax returns or accounts have already been produced, but it would be useful if we could make the change if they have not been created, even if bills have been raised, or at least have a work around or override option.

  14. Currently AP brings the main headings into the P&L as income and expense rows, but each item of expenditure is entered as an analysis item instead of a child row. This means that we are unable to add analysis of items on the DPL for the tax comp.

    For example, an Entertainment cost could contain both allowable and disallowable items. Before we used the AP link we would show the Entertainment cost as a child row in the DPL and then insert an analysis so the split for HMRC was clear. Now we link with AP we can no longer…

  15. We have a number of VAT rates available on setup for client/supplier records and available for billing. Some of which are old and don't need to be used. Can we have the option to make unavailable specific VAT rates but keep the unused ones for historical reporting purposes. Examples of where are in the Client Tax Rates and Tax Rates options under File>Maintenance>Client/Supplier

  17. We have recently added a Tax Manager responsibility to the Assignments (Main) tab for each client to use to review WIP. We would like the ability to add Tax Manager (or other responsibility names) to added as an option on the Top 10 and Aged WIP widgets on the CCH home screen please. Currently only Client Partner, Client Manager, Assignment Partner and Assignment Manager are available. (See photo attached).
    I see there was a similar suggestion entitled Responsibility Types posted previously which had 3 votes but has since been closed.

  20. Lead schedules that aren’t standard not pulling through, how do you pull them into workpapers? For example, debtors due in more than one year we have also seen investments schedules not pulling though previously.

    As a temporary solution we have to PDF the lead schedules from the financial statements section and upload this to work papers, but this defeats the object of the live lead schedules if the figures change.
