Velixo NX 2024.9 Release Notes – Acumatica

Applies to:

Release date: September 2nd, 2024

Version number: 2024.9.1 or higher

🚀 New

UI

Velixo NX has a new look with more minimalistic and modern ribbon icons that match our website's style✨

Localization

Snapshot

"Copy workbook without formulas" has grown into a more powerful feature called Snapshot: everything you know and love about the functionality, with extras:
- You can now decide to snapshot only the active worksheet instead of the entire workbook.
- A worksheet-level snapshot can be targeted to the current workbook or a separate workbook.
- You can now decide to preserve writeback formulas while doing snapshots: can be incredibly useful when e.g. iterating on budgets.

Report distribution

New distribution lists that you create will contain a "Refresh workbook" parameter (set to "Yes" by default), which will ensure your workbook is refreshed prior to running the distribution. This helps to address a "partially refreshed" workbook state when:
- You use distribution lists with parameters;
- You start a distribution after a long time not refreshing the workbook.
The scheduled distribution command-line tool supports a new parameter "--workbook-password" that allows you to work with password-protected workbooks.

Calculation

A significant refresh time improvement for larger financial reports (up to 40% in our internal benchmarks, depends on the workbook configuration).
Drill-down performance has been further optimised.
Dedicated performance improvements to the refresh option of "Current sheet".
Improved responsiveness of the "Cancel refresh" operation.

Connection

If you opt for entering your connection in the Velixo side panel, non-ASCII characters (such as é, ñ, ç etc.) are now supported for both the username and the password.

Integration with Acumatica

❗️ Improvements in this section require installing the latest Velixo Customization Project

Velixo NX can now process exported Generic Inquiries with long names.
Improved the clarity of the instructions worksheet in the exported inquiries or universal writeback templates, making it applicable to both the Velixo NX and Velixo Classic.

Error reporting

In case multiple function arguments contain validation errors, Velixo NX may display multiple error messages at once.

Report distribution

Improved the reliability of the report distribution process on different platforms.

Terminology

MYOB Advanced is now MYOB Acumatica.
For consistency with Excel ribbon terminology, the term "Worksheet" has been replaced with the term "Sheet" throughout the add-in.

UX

Date-returning functions such as PROJECTSTARTDATE will now have a default formatting applied to it (YYYY-MM-DD ISO-based format).

Budget / Project Forecast Writeback

Fewer API login/logout operations are performed during writeback, improving performance.

Universal Writeback

Velixo NX will now return an error when trying to output values into protected cells or Excel ranges.

Calculation

Since Velixo NX 2024.7, a refresh operation could take a long time if the workbook was heavy on conditional formatting. This has been resolved.

Connection

Drilldown

Fixed a bug where if you opened a file and ran drilldown without a prior refresh, the drilldown would get stuck and never end.
