The latest update to MySF Manager, update 3.2.2, has been released.
This update includes some bug fixes and some major new functionality.
The list of new functionality includes:
- Quick Add Dividends (incl reinvestments)
Menu:
Cash & Journal Processing > Quick Add Dividend > Dividend Receipt
Cash & Journal Processing > Quick Add Dividend > Dividend Reinvestment
Description:
This screen enables you to process a dividend receipt or reinvestment on a single screen with in less time and with less keystrokes than previously. You will no longer need to go through the Cash Receipt screen to record a dividend receipt or the Add / Manage Asset screen to record a reinvestment.
Notes:
i) The previous functionality has been retained, so you can still use the previous approach to recording these events if you prefer.
ii) For more information about this feature please open the Quick Add Dividend screen and press F1 on your keyboard to view the help document
- Quick Add Distributions (incl reinvestments)
Menu:
Cash & Journal Processing > Quick Add Distribution > Distribution Receipt
Cash & Journal Processing > Quick Add Distribution > Distribution Reinvestment
Description:
This screen enables you to process a distribution receipt or reinvestment on a single screen with in less time and with less keystrokes than previously. You will no longer need to go through the Cash Receipt screen to record a distribution receipt or the Add / Manage Asset screen to record a reinvestment.
Notes:
i) The previous functionality has been retained, so you can still use the previous approach to recording these events if you prefer.
ii) For more information about this feature please open the Quick Add Distribution screen and press F1 on your keyboard to view the help document.
- Quick Add Financial Assets
Menu:
Manage Fund > Add or Manage Assets > Quick Add Financial Assets
Description:
This screen enables you to add one or more parcels of financial assets in a single entry. The screen has been designed for fast data entry and to facilitate the bulk addition of assets.
Notes:
i) The previous functionality has been retained, so you can still use the previous approach to recording these events if you prefer.
ii) Each line entered is treated as a single asset (or parcel of assets) and the functions performed are the same as when adding the asset through the Add / Manage Financial Assets screen. The software will create the asset record, asset account in the general ledger and it will also process a transaction for asset additions recorded for the current financial year.
iii) For more information about this feature please open the Quick Add Financial Assets screen and press F1 on your keyboard to view the help document.
- Asset Cost Base Checker
Menu:
System Setup > View and Edit Asset Cost Base
Description:
This screen enables you to view and modify the cost base of financial assets in your fund. The screen will list all current (unsold) financial assets and their current cost base as per the asset record. A column is also added that contains the cost base implied by the general ledger account connected to this asset. Users can elect to update the cost base of the asset as held in the asset record where these numbers do not match. The cost base may be updated to the amount implied by the accounts or to another amount entered into that field.Notes:
Notes:
i) For more information about this feature please open the Asset Code Base Checker screen and press F1 on your keyboard to view the help document.

| Selecting either of the new Quick Add Financial Assets (-> Shares or -> Investment Funds) does not function correctly in that it results in a Dialogue Box requesting that the Asset Allocation table for the selection first be completed; and it is seeking an Asset Allocation be defined for the generic class heading rather than the asset to be added. It would seem preferable to go to the quick screen to enable a new asset (s) to be added and at that screen ensure that an Asset Allocation is defined for the asset (s) added.

Hi,
The error message you saw functions this way by design. Use of this screen requires that you define the default asset allocations for the asset class being used. For example, to use the quick add screen for the bulk entry of shares you need to define the default asset allocations for the 'Shares' asset class.
To define the default asset allocations for an asset class please follow these steps:
1) Go to System Setup > Asset Classes
2) Click the link for an asset class
3) Click on the 'Edit default allocation' button in the bottom left hand corner of the small window that pops up
4) Enter the default allocations and click on 'Save'.
The 'Quick Add - Financial Assets' screen was designed to keep data entry requirements to a minimum by asking for only the essential information about each asset. Therefore, the screen relies on the existence of default allocations for the selected asset class rather than asking users to define asset allocations separately for every asset being added. The time saving from defining default asset allocations is most significant for asset classes like 'Shares' where all of the assets have exactly the same asset allocations (Shares - Australian: 100%).
However, the 'Quick Add - Financial Assets' screen is somewhat less appropriate for asset classes where the asset allocations are likely to vary between assets. You will still need to define default asset allocations for such classes and once the assets have been added you can edit their allocation categories through the original Add / Manage Financial Assets screen.
Regards,
MySF

Hello
I attempted to install 3.2.2 on the weekend.
The installation generated an error indicating that it was unable to find the file "MySF Manager.msi".
I should have captured the exact message but did not have time at that point and thought I would get back to it.
I eventually came back to it and discovered that the software version was at 3.2.2!
I am assuming that the latest version of the software has been installed but any changes to the data has not been completed. This is consistent with the transaction report which does not have the corrected transactions for the tax deferred amount on distributions that I reported earlier.
What is the best way forward? I will need to convince myself that the installation is complete and consistent and that all necessary changes to the data have been made.
Regards
Bryan Lovquist

| Hello, I tried to instal update 3.2.2 today and have had the same error message about finding the "MySFManager.msi" file. I browsed around the files but was unable to find it. As a result, there is an error in the installation process and the update does not appear to be complete. What do I do? Regards Rodney Insall

Hi,
Unfortunately we have had a number of users report the same problem.
If you restart MySF Manager and the program runs and displays 3.2.2 as the version number then the update has been installed successfully despite the error messages.
We will make another installer available as soon as possible to try and overcome this problem.
Regards,
MySF

Hi
Do you expect the new installer to correct/update the data issues as well?
Thanks

Hi,
There is no automated fix included for this problem. You would need to reverse and reprocess the transactions in question to fix the issue.
We appreciate that this is not an ideal solution. However, our tests showed that the accurate automatic identification of transactions which suffer from the problem you pointed out is not always possible. Therefore any automated solution would have required an additional manual check anyway which makes the automation far less valuable.
Regards,
MySF
