- Improve
When entering bank mutations, debtor receipts are nicely set to payment CREDIT. However when changing the amount the default is set again which is taken from the general ledger account. This help from RentBuddy is not really a help and has been removed for a better user experience at the request of our administrative users.
- Bugfix
Staff planning
It was recently possible to freeze a schedule, allowing you to block changes or to ask for a warning to continue. However with the latter, no changes were made. We have now improved this.
- Improve
When sending dunning letters in RentBuddy in bulk, it is now possible to send them directly to Outlook without intervention per dunning letter and send them directly in a single run, or to continue to send them individually.
- Bugfix
We have built in an extra control that while emailing an invoice it will be reprinted should the file, for whatever reason, no longer be present. So in that case, the PDF is re-created and always attached to the mail. The invoice does need to be booked to do this. But nothing has changed about that check.

- Improve
In the screen quotations we have now provided for more "quietness" in the screen. This means that ALL bids whose project has been changed to a ORDER CONFIRMATION are no longer visible except for the order confirmation itself. This ensures that many (duplicate) quotes are automatically set to handled.
- Bugfix
When processing a count list of type [Check available stock] the stock mutation was not created with the correct numbers. The difference of the numbers was done based on total stock count. With this particular count list type, this should be the available (non-rental) numbers are.
(#192825) - Bugfix
During hour writing, the end time of the hour line was adjusted after the multiple times change the hour line with hour correction (breaks, etc.). For example, the end time was then extended or shortened by 30 minutes, whereas the end time should not be changed.
(#192832) - Improve
When changing the end time while writing hours, the lead time was not changed if the end time of the hour line was changed.
(#192833) - Improve
At BackStage there has been an improvement for selecting projects.

- Feature
WORKFORCE PLANNING
We have added some nice new things to the employee scheduling feature again. For example, as of this version it is possible to block a schedule. This can be done completely (when you think nothing more can be changed) or by means of a warning. With the notification you can add a memo so that the person who is planning gets a warning that nothing more can be changed.
- Feature
RentBuddy currently uses a central planning system. However, by popular demand we have now built in the ability to work with so-called Planning rights. At the employee (read = planner) you can set through the buttons Functions -> Planning rights. You can assign function groups to a planner. When this planner then requests the staff schedule, only functions for which he has been given rights will be shown. For example, one planner can plan all drivers and transports, while another employee can plan wrappers or service employees. Of course if you do not set anything it works so that the employee can continue to plan everything without restrictions.
- Improve
We have once again improved the BUYING PRICES of the freelancers/employees in this version. When there were no price agreements on the project and thus the default rates were applied, the order was always DAY PRICE first and then the HOUR PRICE. However, as of this version RentBuddy follows the preference you have set with the employee. Normally you make appointments per hour or per day rate. If, exceptionally, the rate is different, you can always set the applicable rate in the planning.
- Improve
Behind the employee, you can retrieve an overview of project summaries. This lists planned and realized/written hours. Also the rates such as daily/hourly overtime rates. However, this screen was not updated with the functionalities of the last months that we implemented in the employee scheduling. As of this update, this screen is also fully equipped with the correct information.
- Feature
When generating hours for recorded leave/absence days, it is now possible to define in the leave types whether or not hours should be written during generation. We have added to the LEAVE TYPES added a check mark for that purpose. This allows you to indicate that for certain leave types (think compensation hours) no HOURS are written and for Vacation Days, for example, they are again.
As a result, excess hours recorded as leave type COMPENSATION hours are not recorded as time worked. The resulting shortfall in hours is offset against the plus hours (compensatory hours).
- Feature
Within the OpenKvk present within RentBuddy, you could already easily search by address, name, zip code of companies. You were then shown the registration of the Chamber of Commerce. Only if you knew the KvK nr. and search based on that, it was not found. We have now added this option as well.
- Bugfix
In some cases recently, the available stock gave the wrong number. This was because the available numbers were divided twice by the number of components. This error has been corrected.
(#192783) - Feature
NEW: TURNOVER STATISTICS
In collaboration with a number of larger clients who also use RentBuddy Finance, we have created a new turnover statistics report with an export to Excel. The overview looks at realized and therefore also invoiced turnover per Item. It can also be broken down to each month. In our tests, the total of all item turnovers matched the invoices invoiced in RentBuddy Finance exactly.

- Improve
You can define a "different" bank account number with the purchase invoice. However with the payment batch this was not transferred to the payment batch but the account was transferred from the creditor card. Since we have now changed this, the creditor card can also be updated from the payment batch.
(#192624) - Improve
In the payment batch of accounts payable, we made the space for piece number larger, eliminating ++++. Of course, this only occurred if your piece number consisted of many digits.
- Bugfix
We have in making dunning letters by mail, we made an improvement at the debtor's email address. In bulk this was not clearing in some cases.
- Improve
In the screen Warehouse Occupancy we have changed the colors upon request. GREEN for loading and RED for unloading packing slips. This was reversed and not consistent with other screens in RentBuddy.

- Bugfix
Clocking in and out
We modified the clocking in and out process. For example, after each clock-in or clock-out of an employee, the screen was not completely cleaned which caused confusion for the next employee who wanted to clock-in or clock-out. However, what also went wrong were the time corrections on the screen (such as Break, lunch, dinner etc). Each time you clock in and out, the default hour corrections are turned on which you set in the hour corrections as "ON". However after these were turned off when clocking in, they were then turned back on by default, only RentBuddy then did not take this into account for the next employee and thus the hour corrections were not implemented even though they were visually visible. This error has now been fixed.
(#192712) - Improve
If an employee clocked in at, say, 7 p.m. in the evening and clocked out at 3 a.m. during the night, the hours became negative. The tools we were using could not handle hours that passed through the night. We have now created our own function that calculates this correctly. NOTE: This was only when clocking in and out and not for example in the BackStage App (where we use other techniques).
(#192590) - Improve
When you use GENERATE HOURS RentBuddy automatically writes hours for the employee's leave time/days. However, RentBuddy now also takes the employee's working hours into account. For example, if you specified that leave was until 6 p.m. but the employee worked until 2 p.m. that day according to his contract, hours were still written until 6 p.m. So this has now been improved so that hours are only written up to 2:00 pm.
- Improve
When you create a new project/contract for a debtor that is BLOCKED or a WARNING then a warning text was provided but the warning was not shown. RentBuddy now shows what the warning is in a popup and tooltip.
- Improve
When paying purchase invoices in a payment batch, you have the option to set off CREDITNOTAs with your payments. With this, you no longer had to book them off via the memorial book first. However, we only supported when two invoices were offset against each other and not when they were multiple invoices. From now on, RentBuddy can also offset multiple invoices against each other.
(#192629) - Bugfix
When making journal entries in the memorial journal, the date was always reset to today. This, of course, is annoying. We have fixed that in this release.
(#192714) - Improve
When approving purchase invoices, the approver could now be defined on the invoice itself, in addition to the creditor. However, after this change, if no deviating employee was entered on the invoice, you could no longer see this on the purchase invoices to be approved. We have now adjusted it so that both employees get to see the purchase invoices to be approved.
(#192471) - Improve
From now on, when you create a fiscal year but do not enter a full fiscal year in it in terms of date range (for example, from 01-01-2023 to 31-12-2023), RentBuddy will now give an alert to check the dates. If the date range is accidentally entered incorrectly, you will of course receive notifications that RentBuddy cannot bill or book. This saves a lot of digging out and errors that you quickly overlook. TIP! PAY CLOSE ATTENTION THAT THE FISCAL YEAR PERIOD OF /TM IS ENTERED PROPERLY AND CORRECTLY.
- Improve
NEW users of RentBuddy who had not yet committed any Item got a justified error message in several places where you have to search for an Item . Then RentBuddy stopped because something "unexpected" happened. We have now caught this. We now show an empty search screen of articles.
- Improve
When you want to handle a project/contract, RentBuddy checks for many things. One is the cotnrole whether all balance sheet accounts are (advances, prepayments) on a project have been settled. However customers who do NOT use RentBuddy Finance often want to do this without settling it. We have now made an alert of this and RentBuddy may create the counter entry itself after which the project can be settled.
- Bugfix
On the printout of the claim form hours/expenses, sometimes expenses were not visible. This was because in the layout the conditions were checked in a control field. As of this version, we now retrieve these again from the database so that this is always correct from now on.
(#192689) - Improve
We changed the sorting of the MyPonto batches. Due to checking in the program, red colors were sometimes displayed incorrectly. The sorting is now : account number, book date and piece number. In addition, when a statement batch is created from now on, a financial item number is also created immediately. This means fewer actions and improved sorting by item number.

- Improve
The creation of a MyPonto batch and the piece number to be linked to it was not optimal. We have changed this completely so that when the MyPonto Batch is created, a next piece number is now immediately created in the bank book with the start and end balance from MyPonto. A financial mutation batch is also linked. This ensures a better reconciliation of the piece numbers in the journal and fewer operations to link a MyPonto batch.
- Feature
If you are working with multiple administrations work in RentBuddy, you could already filter the contracts/projects by an administration. However, what was not possible, as is also possible in staff scheduling, that you make a selection of the companies for which you want to see the projects. From now on, it is now possible to filter a single or multiple administrations in your contracts.
- Improve
When scanning with the handheld scanner, a message now comes up when a Item is registered for service.
- Improve
When one printed an invoice and you work with SmartDocs in the cloud then there was no preview displayed anymore because it had just been moved to the cloud. We now create a copy in advance so the preview of an invoice is back during invoicing.
- Bugfix
When you wanted to create a Creditor from a relation card, a debtor was created instead of a creditor. This error has been fixed.

- Feature
EXPANSION OF WORKFORCE PLANNING
There is now a possibility that you can make fixed rate agreements per co-worker/per function. This was already made possible in the previous patch in the master files of employees, however in this patch, also the Purchase Price of the freelancer is now calculated according to these rates. In addition, it is possible to make separate agreements at the project level.
(#192600) - Improve
STAFF SCHEDULING RATES
If the user adjusts an employee's rates, and at that time the financial columns in the detail screen are also visible, the column should be [Purchasing] prefer to be recalculated immediately. The rate change is very likely to affect the numbers in that column, but until this moment the recalculated values did not come into view until you refreshed the entire screen.
(#192600) - Feature
STAFF SCHEDULING RATES The minimum value of 8 is too high for the boundary between regular hours and overtime. It is possible to agree a rate with an employee for a job of -say- three hours, with a higher or even lower hourly rate for if the work takes longer. Until now, the overtime rate could only take effect when the work was at least eight hours long, and that limit was too high. This, too, has now been improved.
(#192600) - Feature
De-duplicating creditors
It sometimes happens that you are not paying attention when booking a purchase invoice and before you know it you have created the creditor twice. In the worst case, you even have several purchase invoices behind each creditor number. From now on it is possible to deduplicate a creditor with an already existing creditor. All entries, purchase invoices and documents are then moved to the creditor's main account.
- Improve
When booking a PURCHASE INVOICE, if a creditor was duplicated in the system, it was booked on the first creditor found. So now you can deduplicate and put the old creditor on inactive to inactive. With SCAN and RECOGNITION, creditors that are recognized but not on active are no longer matched. This also prevents that a purchase invoice is linked to an inactive creditor.
- Feature
When running an invoice run but not yet booking the invoices you can in the screen FINISH INVOICING the invoices to be booked. However, it was also desirable to see the possible journal entry before booking. This is now possible. At the bottom of each invoice the journal entry can be checked.
- Feature
META BOOKING PROFILES
When you have created multiple administrations in RentBuddy and you are using posting profiles, META posting profiles were also created "underwater". After all, the item file is for all administrations, but for each administration you can define separate general ledger accounts. However, once you had created a booking profile you could not delete it from RentBuddy. So now we have also provided the ability to remove META BOOKING PROFILES from the system.
- Feature
In the countlists from RentBuddy, the SEARCH key field has now been added upon request.
- Improve
The ADDITION field in web orders was 3 characters in size. This has now been increased to 10 characters upon request.
- Bugfix
Due to a "fallacy" during development, the filters on the screen are CONTROL PERSONNEL REQUIREMENTS top right were always disabled and also not usable. We have now fixed this error correctly.
(#192577) - Bugfix
When using project templates, the tab was missing since one of the last updates the TOTALS. This had to do with being able to authorize this tab in "normal" rental projects. Within templates this was not possible and so it was completely removed from the screen. This has now been restored.
(#192588) - Tools
More and more connections work through APIs like our webshop Api or the MyPonto connection. However, unicode fragments such asu00f6 were written back to the database instead of u + umlaut with special characters. This is now solved in the JSON object.

- Improve
The screen for overview projects of an employee has several improvements. For example, the projects are now better filtered on the period that is selected. Also, only projects where the employee is definitively scheduled are now shown.
- Bugfix
When, within staffing requirements, the functions such as, for example Move Day and did not press the OK key but typed 2x ENTER, the screen closed but the date was not transferred. To quickly activate the OK button in RentBuddy, the function key F12 is available everywhere and thus the screen cannot be closed by pressing ENTER a second time.
(#192470) - Feature
We have now made the clock-in and clock-out screen available for SMALL users.
(#192557) - Improve
If one does not include a reporting layout defined as the default layout, no reminders came out, even if you wanted to send reminders by e-mail.
- Feature
Creating claim forms is now also possible / improved from the employee card. One could not create new /empty statement forms for the employee from the employee card. This has now been made possible.
- Bugfix
If you have paid out 150 overtime hours in an interim settlement of your staff, for example, the balances of the overtime hours should of course also be corrected. However, it was no longer possible to negative hours to book negative hours to correct this. This is now possible again.
