Cloud Payroll Updates 

Removing Unused Payrolls: You now have two options for removing unused payrolls.

1. 
   Regular Payrolls: If a regular payroll should not be processed, use the 'Skip Payroll' link. This skips all employees, allowing you to process a $0 payroll. You can "un-skip" the payroll up until the payroll deadline.
   

1. Bonus & Off-Cycle Payrolls: If a bonus or off-cycle payroll was started but won't be used, right-click the payroll in the payroll list and select 'Move to Trash.' You can restore or permanently delete items from the Trash tab.
   

Updated Payroll Settings:

1. The payroll settings screen has been expanded into a tabular format with multiple columns, making it easier to find the fields you need
   

1. After submitting a payroll, you can now open the detailed Payroll Journal report by selecting 'Full Summary' to easily review all submitted detail
   

Cloud Payroll Additional Improvements and New Features

1. Check Stock Alert: Users who choose to print checks will see a one-time alert to use either blank or Gusto check stock. This helps prevent confusion for users who have switched from other payroll providers.

3. New "Integrations" Access: Cloud Payroll is now accessible through the Integrations menu.
   
4. Expanded Account Selections: To support scenarios like employee loans, we've expanded the account selections in Payroll Settings to include more account types.
   
5. Payroll Calculation Alert: If a payroll is calculating while you try to open it, a new alert will let you know to wait until the calculation is complete.
   
6. Updated Payroll Module Menu: The payroll module menu has been updated with more headings and a new layout to be more intuitive and easier to navigate.
   

Accounting Updates

Cloud Banking Updates

Duplicate Transaction Detection:

1. To prevent duplicated transactions in Cloud Banking, the system will now analyze unapproved transactions and automatically remove duplicates.
   
2. Processing Shadow Transactions: If a duplicate transaction has already been posted, a pop-up alert will appear. You can select 'Process shadow transactions' to remove the approved duplicate.
   
3. Tip: If your bank uses pending transactions, we recommend waiting 2-3 days after the transaction date to approve it in Cloud Banking. This helps avoid approving pending transactions.
   

Data Import Wizard Updates: 

1. We've added new safeguards and notifications to the Data Import Wizard:
2. Process Status: The tool now provides clearer status updates while processing records, so you don't accidentally close and restart it.
   
3. File Limitations: Notifications have been added for files that exceed size limitations, prompting you to modify the file or contact the Support Team.
   

Cloud Commerce:

ShipStation:

1. You can now set a default sales person in a store's settings. This sales person will automatically populate on new orders from ShipStation and can be seen as a column in the ShipStation Orders view.
   

Price Matrix:

1. Item: The 'Current price' is pulled from the item card, and the Price Matrix will update the item card.
   
2. Item + Price level: The 'Current price' is from the item card, but the Price Matrix will not update the item card. The new price will only be applied to sales documents for customers who use the specified Price level.
   
3. Item category: The Price Matrix updates all item cards for items assigned to the specified category.
   
4. Item category + Price level: The Price Matrix applies the updated price to sales documents for any items in the specified category when the customer uses the specified Price level.
