January 2026
Welcome to the January 2026 release of Latner Software - our first release of the year! We’re excited to continue partnering with you throughout 2026 and look forward to another year of growth and improvement together.
This release delivers several highly requested enhancements across Supplier Invoicing, Financials Year Depreciation, Timesheet Dashboard and general workflow refinements. Please see below for the full details of what has changed.
New Features
Financial Year Depreciation
Managing asset depreciation across financial years is now significantly easier and more transparent. This enhancement introduces a dedicated Financial Year Depreciation workflow that allows you to calculate, review, and post depreciation values aligned with your organisation’s financial calendar.
The system now automatically determines the correct depreciation period based on your configured financial year, ensuring consistency across reporting, asset valuation, and compliance requirements.
This feature is especially useful for businesses that need to reconcile asset values at year‑end or prepare financial statements with accurate, system‑generated depreciation data.
Timesheet Dashboard
This introduces a dedicated reporting tab that visually summarises total hours worked through a clear bar‑graph view, giving managers an immediate snapshot of labour activity across the business. The dashboard can be refined using filters for Skilled Person, Source, Branch, and date range, allowing teams to quickly isolate trends or gaps. Grouping options make it easy to compare performance across individuals or locations, while the Source filter provides a practical way to analyse lost time by showing where timesheets originated and highlighting entries that may be missing or under‑reported.
Supplier Invoice Improvements
You can now reopen supplier invoices that were previously marked as disputed or approved, allowing corrections or additional processing when required.
Completed supplier invoices can now be cancelled when necessary, providing greater flexibility and control over invoice management.
The Supplier Daybook now supports viewing open invoices that have been fully receipted for improved visibility and reconciliation.
