  1. It would be useful to be able to enter a billing explanation during the billing wizard rather than having to exit and edit the bill amounts again to access the feature.

  2. Include an extra column in the PAR routine to show the % difference with the preliminary TB as well as the final TB.

    As the comments made at planning stage will not be upto date as updates are made to the final TB figures

  3. At present, the pension master pack does not incorporate the same chart of accounts as Accounts Production. This means that figures have to be posted seperately into each, and cannot be transferred directly between the two. The Charity master pack was recently updated to reflect this.

  4. As we use some customised job names we can't use the Roll Forward facility because you can't customise the algorithm. This would be useful in both saving time for regular jobs (ie monthly roll forward) and would ensure that the same format is being used by all staff

  5. Currently, the 'weekly' algorithm only allows you to choose Wk1 / Wk2 ... Wk 50 / Wk 52 etc. It would be more helpful if the algorithm could relate to a particular date e.g. 'week-ending' 4-Apr and it then repeated weekly by date moving forward.

  7. We would find it very useful to be able to see other team member responsibilities on the Find Clients page rather than having to go into the client to see the team responsibility. We use these to keep a record of who is dealing with each client.

  8. It would be great if name fields eg Assignment Partners, Assignment Managers, Partners, Managers, Client Name etc could be configurable so we can show it as Firstname Lastname not Lastname, Firstname as then it would match other systems

  9. PIN numbers should be stored / accessible in our online CCH account by the superuser, as we have to wait for it to be emailed to us if there is ever a glitch.

  10. 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…

  11. 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…

  12. We have few employees working from home and doing bookkeeping for us. They don’t have access to CCH. Now we want them to punch the timesheet as well on weekly basis. We want to do this by importing and exporting the timesheets on CCH. So, by this we have up to date timesheet for all of the clients and can create the invoices more accurately.

  13. Would like to hide some reports from the list available to use
    eg debtor statements has 9 listed but would only like to show the two we currently use
    Aware we can delete them but they may be of use at a later date, a few have MYOB & CCH which may use as a template in future too

  14. Allow documents to be created via "create" button from the global document centre onto clients/into client library rather than requiring you to go into the client first, navigate to the client document centre tab first - if nothing else being able to open a identical screen that doesn't let you add something to the client library is a bit confusing.

  15. In the filed chooser on the find client tab, please add reg no. It takes too much time to have to open each client to verify the companies house number when I should just be able to look at in the find clients tab. The UTR is visible there, so I don't know why the reg no isn't..

  16. When generating a "Smart Report" using the "Year End" date from the client "Main" tab the report presents the date in day and month format, but drops off the year.

    It would be useful for the report to also show the year so that a list of year ends can be generated when the clients accounts are not being prepared through accounts production.

    Seeing as the field on the "Main" tab does require a year to be entered I can only assume the report would need to be slightly adjusted.

    I appreciate that this year would need to be manually…

  17. 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

  18. I'm not sure if others experience this issue but when entering accrued income allowances on the foreign pages of a personal return, these simply show as interest on the schedules which can be confusing to clients.

    For example, I have a client who has interest of £22.50 and accrued income allowance of £14.42. On the schedules both figures appear to be positive so it looks as though they show £22.50 + £14.42 = £8.08.

    The actual return is correct, but if the schedules could indicate which items are allowances and that they are a deduction it would be clearer for…

  19. It would be easier if we could use keyboard shortcuts for the 'admin' side of Central. For example, using Ctrl & backspace and Ctrl * C/V - these currently do not work and instead you get little squares.

  20. The option to choose a recipient should be a feature on all entities, at present this can't be done for individuals where they are type "Other person". It's not always the case that the email is going to the primary email address which is likely to be that of the individual, you could be sending documents to an associated contact of the individual eg stockbroker/solicitor
