Having trouble? Here are a few things you should know.
In this release, we’ve made it easier for you to run your business on an international scale. Plus, we’ve expanded reminders, introduced the ability for your customers to pay multiple invoices at once, and have introduced a new time tracking app! Here’s what this release has to offer:
With the addition of live exchange rates, accounting for international transactions just got easier. Plus, GST is now supported on foreign transactions and the summary reconciliation reports can now display amounts in local and foreign currency.
Need to track inventory across multiple warehouses? Using Multi-Location, you can manage inventory across multiple sites.
Save your customers time and get paid on time with AccountRight monthly reminders. It’s quick, simple and effective.
Allow your customers to pay multiple invoices at once. Customers can now see what’s overdue and pay multiple invoices in one go.

Plus speed enhancements, bug fixes, and other helpful improvements.
Note: Multi-currency and multi-location are only available in Premier.

Issues fixed:
- When creating a Pay Bill from the Bank Feeds window, the focus is now once again on the Supplier field instead of the Electronic Payments field.
- Fixed an issue that removed the dollar symbol and other formatting from item invoices.
- Fixed an issue that prevented the ability to change the Deposit To Account field after recording Receive Payments or Receive Money to Undeposited Funds.
- In 2019.1, creating receipt transactions from bank feeds incorrectly allowed the editing of the Deposit To Account field, and also resulted in the Customer field not having the initial focus. Both issues have been fixed.
- Fixed an issue in the Item Information window where price levels in Items that were created using the Copy From button sometimes didn’t update correctly.
- Items with a $0.00 value in a Time Billing order would cause AccountRight to crash. This has been fixed.
- Fixed an issue on service invoices where the line tax amounts incorrectly displayed $0.00 for blank lines and headers.
- Account Numbers that had leading zeros, for example 1-0100, caused sub-totals in Profit & Loss reports to incorrectly appear at the end of a section. This has been fixed.
- An issue was introduced in 2019.1 where the Price column on tax-inclusive item sales orders remained as tax-exclusive for both new and imported sales orders. This has been fixed.
- In 2019.1, bills on remittance advices and entries in timesheets were ordered incorrectly. This has been fixed.
- The Backorder List window did not appear as expected when attempting to record sales of certain items with insufficient quantities. This has been fixed.
- An AccountIdNull error appeared in certain cases when building Items or recording inventory adjustments. This has been fixed.
- Fixed an issue in 2019.1 where credit terms on recurring sales that were recorded from the To Do List window were incorrectly changed to cash on delivery (COD).
- Fixed an issue that was preventing the recap of purchase transactions recorded during locked periods.
How to update
You'll be prompted to update when you open your company file over the next few days, or you can download the AccountRight PC Edition now (subscription required).
If you need a different version (Server Edition, MSI, or older versions), you can find it on our AccountRight downloads page.
Installation tips
- When installation is complete, you won’t see a confirmation message. You can restart AccountRight immediately after installing the update.
- Your company file won’t need upgrading, which means computers using 2018.4.1 can open your file (but you should still install this update on all computers).
- If you need the MSI installer (for example you have terminal server or roaming profile network setup), download it here (subscription required).
- If you need the Server Edition you can download it here (subscription required).
- If you have issues updating, see our troubleshooting guide.
