Office Brands Readysell Ex Tax Pricing Update

Readysell
May 20, 2020

The recent move to ex tax pricing on WebX has required some changes to Readysell’s integration to Office Brands. Some of those changes could not be identified until after the new WebX site went live. Office Brands and Readysell have been working over the last few weeks on identifying and implementing a few additional integration changes.

As of today, all program changes that we can identify as required have been completed and deployed. We have run a number of processes to refresh data over the last week or two. On Friday this week, we plan to run the last required refresh. We will refresh all product updates for the last few weeks to WebX over the weekend. Thanks for your patience and assistance over the last few weeks.

Using KeyPay to Process Jobkeeper payments

Readysell
April 29, 2020

Our partners at KeyPay have been extremely helpful during the recent developments with the government’s implementation of their Covid-19 support packages, and we wanted to share this information with our customers – and the wider industry.

Firstly, the following article explains the in’s and out’s of how the JobKeeper payment will be included in Single touch Payroll (STP) systems: Managing-the-JobKeeper-Payment.

One point to note is: “While most of the talk about the JobKeeper payment refers to fortnightly payments you’ll see there’s a section near the bottom of the article that explains how to manage the payment if you’re using a weekly or monthly pay schedule – the important thing to remember is that you must use the exact name (and payment classification “Allowance-other”) the ATO has requested for your new pay categories.”

The article also covers what to do if you’ve already paid your employees for 30/3/20 but want to claim the JobKeeper subsidy for those payments.

The JobKeeper-Eligibility-Report will assist you to check if an employee is eligible – please note this report is based on the data in the business for the employee and should be used as a guide only.

KeyPay is doing a great job of keeping abreast of the ongoing changes, and are updating their resources frequently. You can find more information here: https://www.keypay.com/resources/jobkeeper-program-covid-19
Questions about your business’s eligibility to receive the JobKeeper subsidy, or if an employee is eligible, should be directed to the ATO for more information 

Remember, JobKeeper is a subsidy payment to an employer to assist with the payment of wages to an employee and all the standard rules apply. It is not a payment to an employee – employees who are not eligible need to approach Centrelink directly.

An update from Readysell

Readysell
April 2, 2020

To Our Valued Customers,

I wanted to reach out to you in these rapidly-evolving and uncertain times, to assure you that Readysell will be here to support you and your business through the current Covid-19 situation…and well into the future.

I apologize for the delay in getting this update out to you all, but we – like you – have been navigating through the recent turmoil, and have been unprecedently busy trying to ensure minimal disruption to ‘business as usual’ for our customers.

Several changes have happened across the Readysell team in recent months in order to evolve and grow the product. Firstly, I came on board as the new Managing Director, to oversee this new stage in our growth, and ensure we have the right team in place to continue to develop and deliver a leading solution to you.

To that end we have brought on new developers, Herman and Mohamed who, collectively, have many years developing solutions. They are both enthusiastic about the product, are building on a strong foundation, and have some great ideas for ‘where to next’

We will also be strengthening our Marketing, Sales and Customer Success functions soon, and I’ll be back in touch with more on that shortly.

While some of the names you know are no longer part of the Readysell team – with, Adam, Alisha and Stu moving on – John Nairn is still working with us and is putting in increased hours to ensure that his product and domain knowledge is available to you.

We are now even more committed to supporting you and your business, to this end we have our fortnightly webinars that will deliver ongoing learning and optimization opportunities to you and your team moving forward. We are also working to reintroduce the Readysell advisory user groups to help us grow and develop the product in a way that benefits you. If you aren’t currently booked in for one of these, reach out, and we will lock your team in.

While we are all coming to grips with the new, and hopefully very temporary, reality of ‘remote working’, rest assured that Readysell is still firing on all cylinders, 100% committed to our customers, and using this time to plan and prepare for an exciting future.

Stay safe,

Kind Regards,

Peter Drill

Managing Director, Readysell

ATO system shut down

Readysell
December 23, 2019

The annual close-down at the ATO is from 12.00 noon AEDT on Tuesday 24th December 2019 until 6.00 am on Thursday 2nd January 2020.

The service outage affects all inbound services including Single Touch Payroll (STP) and Tax File Number Declarations. During this time you can carry on as per normal lodging your STP pay events in Readysell Payroll. We will queue up any/all submissions made and send them to the ATO when service resumes.

The only impact you will experience is a delay in receiving a response from the ATO about your pay event. Please note, Tax File Number Declarations will fail to lodge – you will have to wait and lodge these on or after Thursday 2nd January 2020.

If you’d like further details about this, please see the ATO website at https://www.ato.gov.au/General/Online-services/System-Maintenance/

Readysell 8.57 Torrens now rolling out

Readysell
July 30, 2019

We’re pleased to announce that Readysell 8.57 (codename Torrens) is rolling out to all of our Readysell 8 customers. This release is focused on implementing some important backend enhancements, as well as actioning feedback from the Readysell forums.

Lake Torrens

Always be up to date with the latest supplier stock data with RS3 2.0

We’ve updated the Readysell Supplier Stock Service (RS3) to ensure you always have the latest available supplier data in your system. Going forward, RS3 will be able to update the supplier codes and costs in your price book and product file on a daily basis, and supplier stock levels will pushed directly into your system to expand where you’re able to surface this data within Readysell.

Automatically apply your early payment discounts to supplier payments

To ensure you take full advantage of your supplier’s early payment discounts, you can now set up multiple supplier payment terms – one for regular payment, and another for early payment. When you pay early, Readysell can automatically apply your supplier’s early payment discount to the supplier payment.

Communicate more effectively with internal line notes

Sales and purchases now have a new “internal” line notes field, which lets you add line notes which will be visible in the system and in internal documents (such as picking slips) only – not on external documents (such as delivery dockets or tax invoices). This is great when you want to call out special instructions about a specific line, but don’t want this being shared with the customer/supplier.

Automate all your recurring billing with sale run enhancements

You can now set up sale runs to automatically recur every week, fornight, month, quarter or year. This is great for generating regular invoices for services. Just set a recurrance start date, whether you wish to recur based on weeks or months, and then how frequently you wish your recurrances to occur.

But wait, there’s more…

We’ve also made a number of other improvements and under-the-hood changes. Here’s a full list. If you’d like more details about any of the below items, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us through the Readysell Helpdesk.
