CustomBooks™ Release Notes | Labrador 2025.10.16
These release notes detail the latest improvements and features in the CustomBooks™ Labrador 2025.10.16 update. We've made several improvements to the Time Tracking, Cloud Commerce, Audit Log, Embedded Cloud Payroll, Journal Entries, and Cloud Banking features in the latest CustomBooks™ release.
New Feature!
Embedded Cloud Payroll
- The Departments functionality in Cloud Payroll now includes the ability to:
- Assign employees to a department.
- Add, edit, and delete departments.
- Filter departments in Payroll reports.
- In Payroll Settings, each department can be mapped to a Class and to its own GL Accounts for wages, taxes, benefits, etc.
Improvements
Time Tracking
- Improvements were made to the linking process of adding time entries to Sales Invoices, for a more seamless update of the Sales Invoice.
Cloud Commerce
- Sales tax selections in Cloud Commerce were upgraded to provide greater ease of use, including:
- Messages that clarify that only sales tax rates with manual editing enabled can be used.
- Messages for when a sales tax rate is not filled.

Audit Log
- If an address of a contact is changed, that change is now recorded in the Audit Log.
Embedded Cloud Payroll
- Cloud Payroll users on 2-day payroll: to provide greater support as your business grows, alerts will generate if a new employee is added or if a payroll comes within 90% of your credit limit. In these cases, the Support Team will reach out to review a potential increase to the credit limit.
- Gusto Pro can now be accessed in Test Company/Sandbox.
Cloud Banking
- To provide greater ease of use, for cash outflow transactions that need to be ‘Split’, the amounts now all read as positive whereas previously the split had to be entered as negative for outgoing transactions.
Splits have been improved
Journal Entries
- Existing functionality to enable ‘line based reconciliation’ is now made more prominent in the header. If the Journal Entry contains multiple bank account rows to be matched individually to Cloud Banking or individually reconciled, then ‘line based reconciliation’ should be selected in the header and checkboxes selected on the individual journal entry rows to be matched or reconciled.
Lists and Documents List View
- You can now add the Attachments field as a column when viewing lists for transactional documents, companies, customers, vendors, or items. If a record has an attachment, a green check mark will appear in the column, making it easy to see at a glance which records include attachments.
Storage
- Easily locate all attachments uploaded to the software using the new Attachments list in the Admin Panel.
