Hello bry
Thanks for your feedback.
Our software is often used by Bookkeepers or Accountants who have many clients entitled to different versions of the software. AccountRight updates install as a new program so that Accountants and Bookkeepers can still have access to older versions to open files for customers using those versions.
When upgrading company files, the old version is left in place so that if the upgrade is done in error (for instance if a bookkeeper accidently upgrades a file to a version their client isn’t entitled to) it’s easy to go back.
Thanks for your suggestion regarding setting up a specific email address for each user for use with the inbox feature. I’d recommend that you raise this idea via our idea exchange. This will allow other users to vote for your idea and for you to track the progress of your suggestion.
In regards to the API connector, we do feel that our API adds great value. There are a large number of developers who have made awesome add-on solutions, as well as our own On-The-Go app.
In regards to deleting records like card or jobs, records that you no longer use are still needed by the database to refer to existing transactions. However you can make these records inactive so that they don’t appear in drop-down lists, and can be hidden from list screens and reports.
In regards to remittance options. This change has been requested by a number of users. As we continue to update AccountRight we prioritise changes based on a number of factors such as the impact of the issue, the costs in implementing the change, and the popularity of the change. I recommend that you vote for this suggestion on our idea exchange here.
