It has come to our attention that transfers between bank accounts can take longer than the 5 days previously allowed. So, when reconciling a transaction in accounting tasks → reconciliation, you can now choose a longer time between payment and receipt for Cameo to consider it an inter-account transfer. Read More…
Delete statements and transactions
You can now delete a bank transaction or a whole bank statement in accounting info → statements and transactions. Read More…
Making and reporting on regular donations
Cameo’s payment form type now offers regular as well as single payments (for example, to support regular donations by direct debit). A new subsection in search more → donations lets you compare donations over time, sub-divided by regular and one-off. To accommodate this, in accounting tasks → reconciliation you say whether a donation is regular or one-off, so Cameo can attribute it correctly. Read More…
Bank account “confirmation of payee” name
Bank accounts now include a field you can set to provide the Confirmation of Payee name on your account. In forms that that take payments, the form substitutes this into messages letting the customer know where to make the payment to. This means you only need to provide this information once, not in every form that may need it. Read More…
Gift Aid reporting by months
The Gift Aid report for reclaiming tax, generated from accounting info → gift aid declarations, now lets you request an arbitrary number of months-worth of donations. This means you can claim quarterly, for example. Read More…
Introducing accounting and trading
In this significant update, Cameo now offers accounting and trading. Accounting means book-keeping: the ability to record and attribute transactions to different account categories and report on them. Trading means preparing paperwork for invoices, purchase orders and quotations, receipts and expenses, sending them, paying for them and accounting for them afterwards. A new form for merchandise sales will also follow soon. There are lots of new articles about these, summarised here with links:
∙ Book-keeping and reconciliation
∙ Trading documents
∙ New form: invoice
∙ Payment form update
∙ Reporting on fundraising campaigns
∙ Bank statement updates
∙ Inventory and stock
∙ Receipts and expenses claims Read More…
Receipts and expenses claims
Cameo’s new trading → receipts and expenses claims section provides for: * uploading and storing receipts * attaching them to associated transactions * submitting an expenses claim. Read More…
Book-keeping and reconciliation
Reconciliation (attributing bank statement transactions to the appropriate membership, event booking etc) in accounting tasks → reconciliation has a new way of working. This is mainly because of the introduction of broader accounting functions. A new “chart of accounts” provides book-keeping account categories to which you can attribute transactions. That lets you keep track of the purpose of items of income and expenditure, and report on them. At the same time, Cameo also introduces Invoices, quotations and purchase orders that you can attribute to if you choose to use the accounting functions. You can also attribute payments more finely. For example, recording not just donations, but by separate fundraising campaigns. Read More…
Bank statement updates
resents bank statements a little differently in accounting info → statements and transactions. Manual import of bank statements also works a little differently, in accounting tasks → import statements. Also in that section, you can now add single transactions to bank accounts directly (no need to construct a CSV for occasional transactions). Financial year is no longer necessarily aligned with calendar month. Read More…
New form: invoice
Complementing the introduction of trading documents (invoices, purchase orders and quotations), Cameo now includes a form type, invoice, for customer’s to access those documents using a personalised link. The link is typically emailed as part of sending an invoice quotation or purchase order. The new form type can be used for any or all of these: * See a summary of the document *
Download a PDF of the document for the customer’s records * Pay an invoice (e.g. by credit card) * Mark an invoice as paid, add an interim transaction to account for the payment, and send a notification to that effect * Accept a quotation (and send a notification to let you know) Read More…
