Software Enhancements
CCH Accounts Production
VSTS 217422 - Saving accounts to PDF and Word and printing them
The method used to save the accounts to PDF and Word has changed. This was due to moving to a new version of a third-party component. However moving to the new version required rewriting this area and has resulted in several changes that are visible to users.
- To create a PDF, CCH Accounts Production first creates a Microsoft Word document internally before it is saved to PDF. This means that only features that are supported by Word can be supported in CCH Accounts Production. Word only accepts whole point sizes or half point sizes, e.g. 9pt or 9.5pt, but not 9.75pt. You can see this in Word if you try to change the font of some text to 9.75pt:
- Previously, CCH Accounts Production often used fonts that were not a whole or half point size. On upgrading to 2022.2, these fonts are rounded down to the nearest whole or half point size, e.g. 9.75pt text is rounded down to 9.5pt text.
- The new method creates PDF files much quicker than the old method and file sizes are smaller.
- The new method does not speed up generating Word documents or change their size, but it does fix some problems that occurred previously with saving accounts to Word.
- Because accounts are saved to PDF in the same way that they are printed, this change also affects accounts that are printed directly without being saved to PDF.
These changes affect all masterpack versions and the user does not need to take any action.
Note: You may not like the slightly smaller fonts that the system now uses. If so, you can use a larger size, but this is a significant amount of work. You create your own Theme in File > Maintenance > Accounts > Themes, use a different font size and tick 'Is Default' to use it for new clients. (The Theme for existing clients is changed through 'Job Themes').
However the CCH accounts pages are not designed for larger font sizes and some column headings may be wrapped. This can happen even within a single long word such as "exercisable". So moving to a larger font may require creating a practice pack and adjusting some column widths.
We doubt that many users will find it worthwhile to do this for the fractional change in font size.
Note: Although the new MS Word documents exactly replicate the accounts, they are hard to edit as every text item is held in its own textbox and this is positioned relatively to the top left of the page. If the text is edited and makes a textbox longer, it can bump into the next textbox below as the lower textbox will keep its position. However other edits, such as adding in extra pages, e.g. for an independent Auditor's Report, should not be a problem.
Note: If accounts are saved to Word and the whole document appears blank, this is probably because the setting to show textboxes has been switched off in Word. In Office 365, this is called Show drawings and textboxes on screen and can be found under File > Options > Advanced > Show document content. This problem should not occur often as the setting is On by default.
Note: As the new accounts are fractionally smaller than the old ones, there could be a slight difference between accounts that were produced before and how they appear now. So if accounts are out for signing, they could be slightly different by the time they are finalised.
Quality Improvements
CCH Accounts Production
ADO 230648 - When finalised, you should not be able to delete an accounting period
To delete a finalised accounting period, you now have to Unfinalise it first.
ADO 234653 - Year end sometimes fails with error - “Year End was unsuccessful”
The cause of the problem was that a close off account on a local nominal record occasionally became corrupted to include both the nominal code and the account description. We have not replicated this corruption, but we have prevented it causing an error at the Year End.
ADO 232906 - Statutory Database - Errors and Exceptions panel not fully shown
The Statutory Database shows an Errors and Exceptions panel. The bottom of this panel was truncated, hiding the tabs for Workflow and Working Papers.
CCH Working Papers
ADO 232913 - Full accounts will not save within Working Papers
The issue where the user was adding a full set of accounts using the From Financial Statements option and navigating away. The folder was not being retained and you got an error if you tried to add it again, this has been addressed.
ADO 233537 - ITS/59490 - Home Page - the Tool box to customise home page can take a long time to appear
This happened on sites that have WPM but no Corporation Tax.
ADO 236645 - Working Papers Designer - Adding a template that had been deleted in an earlier pack could corrupt the Papers Navigator
This could be seen in the Working Papers Designer where the schedule reference was something like [C._] instead of [C.3]. This meant the system could not determine the correct ordering for the template and could prevent adding further templates.
Notable Issues
CCH iXBRL Filing issues
Our current Notable issues list is available from Customer Communities on UserDocs.
CCH Accounts Production
207516 – Error 49 on upgrade
When logging into Central following a release, the error message “error code 49” is shown.
This indicates that the Central database and the Document Store database are no longer in sync.
Please contact CCH Support for assistance.
237416 - Transferring fixed assets from CCH Accounts Production to CCH Corporation Tax for IFRS
The link from CCH Accounts Production to CCH Corporation Tax for Tangible Fixed Assets does not work for IFRS clients.
The data must be entered manually in CCH Corporation Tax.
Unable to travel images
Any images stored in the Image Library will not be available in the travelled database. CCH will investigate providing this ability in a future release.
Unable to load accounting period if server data format is MM/DD/YY
An issue has been identified that prevents CCH Accounts Production from loading the Accounting Period if the date format in your environment is not dd/mm/yyyy. There is no solution to this at present, other than to amend your Date/Time settings in Windows.
206581 - FRS 102 – Countries that are incorporated in region 3
We have an issue with the Directors Report and Investment Property note not printing correctly. The majority of users are unaffected as accounting periods incorporated in England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland are all set to region 1. Republic or Ireland and Eire are set to region 2. Other countries fall into region 3 and there may be a format issue caused by the print condition or row conditions incorrectly testing on either region 1 or region 2.
234971 – Text entered into paragraph is more than one page in length
We have an issue where text entered into a paragraph node in the statutory database does not print correctly if it is more than one A4 page in length. The bottom of the text ‘falls off’ the A4 page and is not continued on the following A4 page. The workaround is to split the text across two or more nodes, or if that is not possible, enter the text directly into the format cell and make the format local.
