Field Typos
In certain instances the field named "Document Current Paid/Open Status" was incorrectly named "Document Paid/Open Status", thereby leaving two names to filter on. This has been fixed.
Payroll Liability Adjustments showing for no item
In Pro/Premier Only. In general ledger and payroll analytics, an amount will show, having no tie to a transaction number, date, payroll item. This has been fixed so that they don't show.
Specific Speed Improvements
Customers who used Excel for very large data sets from detail analytics such as Job Costing, Inventory and General Ledger, contacted our engineers via our ticket system, and expressed concern over the length of time it was taking to refresh their data from QQube. After discussion and an examination of our code, we identified several potential bottlenecks, and have addressed them in this version. In most cases it will be a matter of seconds, but in others it could be up to 30 seconds. Every bit helps.
NEW ITEM
New Code Signing Certificate
To ensure the integrity of our components, we use digitally signed certificates, which are issued by top level Certificate Authorities and required to be renewed every three years.

INSTALLER
In Build 508 we included many enhancements and fixes to the installer routine, and based upon customer feedback we have refined and simplified the options as follows:

REMOVED
We no longer check for processor speed and power. In the first days of QQube, customers would have a tendency to put QQube on the older slower machines, when in fact they needed the fastest they could possibly get - because of the strain that the Intuit SDK puts on the processor.
We kept it in the Version 6.x and 7.x releases because there were people with Windows 7 machines, that just did not have the horsepower.
We don't feel it is necessary to continue this option given the speed of the processors most likely in use at this time.
Overrides removed from previous version:
POWER BI
Date Calendars
QQube implements a traditional data warehouse star schema, where values that don't exist in a FACT table, are represented by a "dummy marker", so that all joins are efficient inner joins, rather than "costly" left or right outer joins. This is true for any DIMENSION, including Date DIMENSIONS.
However Microsoft has decided to implement their own methodology for a date dimension, where it is necessary to designate a Date DIMENSION as a "Date Table", with certain structural requirements. It affects certain DAX date functions, without this designation.
In this release we accommodated this designation to allow customers to easily use the specific DAX date functions affected.
Cardinality
When relationships are established between the tables in our schema, Power BI allows us to assign a cardinality e.g. many to one, one to one with either singular or bi-directional filtering).
We have corrected all Cardinalities to properly reflect our Star Schema relationships:
POWER BI FIXES
If the amount of a bill pay check is more than the amount of the items checked to be paid, QQube was not showing the correct overpayment debits and credits.
This can only occur when somebody goes back to a bill payment check that was auto-created via the pay bills feature in QuickBooks, and manually changes the check amount - and doesn't change the line amounts that are being paid. Normally, If you change the line amounts, the check amount automatically changes. This now works in QQube to accommodate this rare anomaly.
EXCEL ADD-IN
POWER BI ENHANCEMENTS
Power BI has made scores of monthly improvements to its product for the last 4 years, and we followed suit in this release to take advantage of them - to produce a more polished implementation of Power BI examples with QQube.
DAX Formula Readability
All DAX formulas that we have created are now formatted for easier reading.
OLD
NEW
Check Use of Hierarchies
Power BI now allows the ability to filter by a particular level of the hierarchy, which means we can hide the original fields, and keep just the hierarchy.
Date Formats
Field Categories
Set Default Numerical Formats above the Data Model Level (Detail Analytics)
Set Default Numerical Formats for Financial Analytics
Field Descriptors for Bubble Text
Synonyms
Model Visualizations
Help References
NOTE: Rather than have two separate lookups for customer and job regarding notes, and additional contacts, QQube will keep everything under customer. To discern the difference, we have created a field called "Is Customer or Job", which will have three potential values:
This will allow a user to filter by just customers, or just jobs using 2 of the three potential values.
We are also including two fields in the Lookup:
UPGRADE IMPROVEMENTS
NEW QUICKBOOKS ANALYTIC
Intuit does not expose the Address Name in the actual transaction. Rather this is just a list by customer and job. This satisfies many long term requests for this feature.
NEW FIELD AND DIMENSION
EXCEL ADD-IN NEW FEATURES
Credit Memos
Inventory with Serial Numbers
General Ledger Detail - A/R Refund
Multi-Currency - Rounding Adjustments
PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENTS
Refresh Time During Synch Process
Fixed a bottleneck with regard to the refresh times for Purchase Order Lines on larger QB files. In certain cases it would take hours. It now refreshes in line with all other transactions, regardless of QuickBooks file size and number of transaction lines.
Account Dimension
Payroll - Pro/Premiere
Profit and Loss Freestyle (and by Class)
Open Sales Orders
Job Cost
Synch
Examples - Custom Tags and Advanced Properties
NEW FIELDS
QuickBooks now calculates the remaining Sales Order Amounts based upon the actual amounts (e.g. actual rates on the invoice), not the theoretical amount based upon the remaining qty times the original sales order rate. We have created new fields that will keep the existing invoiced and amount fields as they are - and aliased with the appendage of "SO Rate" (new columns show Actual Rate).
NEW FEATURES
Skip File(s) in a Scheduled Synch
QQube Data
Excel
All Detail Analytics
Job Costing
Inventory
There are cases where QB creates COGS for assemblies where negative inventory exists. While QQube accounted for this, it wasn't showing. Second related issue was having an incorrect COGS account. These have both been fixed. (Bug 030)

A Billed Date Field showed in the Excel Add-In for the Open A/P Analytic, and if clicked on would throw an error. This field existed in error, as it is only available for Open A/R. This has been fixed. (Bug 031)

Billing Rate. Fix issue where Billing Rate by item contains more than 3 figures... e.g. with comma, and wouldn't convert to number
Build Assemblies. Fix issue where transaction item description was not showing.
Financial Summary Reports. Fix rare issue where, when using account numbers, and the Parent Account was similar - but with one character LESS than - the Child Account, Financial Summary and Financial Summary Reports by Class would not appear correctly, or disappear altogether.

Sales Tax
Presentation Clean-Up in Excel PowerPivot. If the name of the main folder/table/tab was changed in PowerPivot, then the Presentation Clean-Up for Financial Summary Subjects was not available. This has been fixed - including Profit and Loss Detail.
