One of the most time consuming operations within finPOWER Connect is Account Processes.

Of course, for most Users, this is not really of any consequence. However, for Finance Companies with tens of thousands of Accounts, the time Account Processes takes may become more critical. Therefore, we have carefully reviewed this area with a view to optimising performance.

Account Processes are generally run once a day after that day has been closed off. This is typically after Bank Transactions have been imported and committed for the previous day, i.e. on Wednesday morning Tuesday's Bank Statement is imported and transactions committed to Accounts. At this point, Account Processes would be run to create Payment Due and Standard Transactions for Wednesday and close off Tuesday, including posting Interest Transactions.

Account Processes will run through every "Open" Account and post Transactions as they fall due. This means every Account is examined.

The optimisations made in finPOWER Connect version 3.2 mean that generally an Account will not be inspected unless it needs to be.

finPOWER Connect now directly integrates to Xero's web based Accounting application.

This means your Bank Transactions and Manual Journals can be posted directly into your Xero organisation.

Intersoft Systems tries to ensure finPOWER Connect provides the best possible performance for the majority of its Users. However, it is impossible to pro-actively ensure every combination of usage is best catered for. Therefore, there may be instances where adding custom indexes to finPOWER Connect will further improve performance.

Note, there are always performance trade-offs when adding custom indexes. For instance, creating an index to improve performance in one area could impair performance in another, e.g. when inserting or updating data into the database.

This blog provides some rules around adding custom indexes.

In this video we look at the different options available for opening a PageSet in finPOWER Connect. We look at Summary Block Override Scripts, Action Scripts and work through the Script Code in a sample PageSet.
