January 19th - Release 2026w4

MK2-7033 | Matter Updates - fixed an issue where changes to various matter attributes were not retained after saving, or caused an on-screen error—particularly when non-value fields were present.

MK2-7168 | Incorrect Cheque Clearance - resolved an issue that caused receipts posted with a cheque payment type to return an incorrect date rather than the configured clearance date.

MK2-7178 | Work Items Display - resolved an issue when creating a new work item the screen opened in full screen regardless of whether it was accessed from a designated URL.

MK2-7213 | Report Exports - Resolved an issue where exports of the Profit and Loss Statement and Balance Sheet incorrectly displayed account IDs instead of the account code and account name.

MK2-7106 | Profit & Loss Report - we have enhanced this report, it processes a large volume of transactions and journal entries, requiring multiple data round trips. A performance review was needed, especially for sections that aggregate totals by account.

MK2-7143 | Preferred Billing Address - resolved an issue where invoices defaulted to the first billing address instead of the client's preferred billing address when drafting invoices.

MK2-7151 | Dormant Client Report - corrected the Dormant Client Ledgers report name in the UK environment, which was previously mislabelled as the Dormant Trust Ledger report.
MK2-7174 | Eve - Incorrect Matter on Draft Invoice - resolved an issue where Eve drafted invoices with the incorrect matter number.

MK2-7188 | HMRC VAT Return Message - resolved an issue where the confirmation popup failed to display after submitting a VAT return.

MK2-6784 | (AU) DEFT Integration - introduced DEFT as a payment method for invoices, including support for signature formatting, storing Billing Reference Numbers, and generating DRN numbers. Please refer to our user guide here.
MK2-6934 | Disable Payment Methods - you can now disable payment methods so they no longer appear in the drop-down lists on transaction, requisition and entity screens. Disabled payment methods can also be filtered out on the Settings screen for easier management. System-defined payment methods remain always enabled and cannot be disabled by users.

Requisitions

MK2-4839 | Payment Requisitions Currency & Journal - fixed an issue where payment requisitions for new and anticipated disbursements were not properly checking the available cash accounts for the selected journal and the matter's currency. The system now correctly limits selection to cash accounts that match both the journal and the matter's currency.

Matters

MK2-6997 | Fee & Disbursement Estimate Bars - fixed an issue where, after opening a matter, the fee and disbursement estimate bars turned amber as soon as the first entry was recorded - even when the entry was well below the firm's threshold. The bars will now correctly stay green until the threshold is actually exceeded.

System

MK2-6783 | Invoice Emails - fixed an issue where invoice emails sent to multiple addresses only displayed one recipient in the "To" field. All intended recipients now appear correctly.
MK2-6984 | Duplicate Tiles - fixed an issue where some tiles in the Settings screen were appearing more than once.
MK2-7163 | Incorrect Screen Navigation Behaviour - fixed an issue where closing a screen would always take you back to the Home tab, instead of returning you to the screen you were on previously.
MK2-7170 | Text Template Categories - fixed an issue in Settings where switching between text templates categories showed all templates instead of only those belonging to the selected category.

Directory

MK2-6865 | Employee Details - resolved an issue where changes to employee details were not carrying over when moving from the Save button to Manage Work Hours. Updates now save correctly and no longer revert to previous information.

Billing

MK2-6884 | Unfinalising Invoices Date - fixed an issue that allowed users to unfinalise invoices dated before the journal lock date. Invoices can no longer be unfinalised if their date is earlier than the set locked journal date.

Banking

MK2-7002 | Bank Entry Variance - resolved an issue where deleting a future-dated bank entry that had been carried forward caused an unexpected variance during reconciliation. Bank reconciliations will now stay accurate and unchanged when these entries are deleted.
MK2-7010 | Matching Error - Bank Rec - resolved an issue on the Bank Reconciliation screen where matching contra entries triggered an error because the system incorrectly required starting reconciliation first.
MK2-7091 | Bank Reconciliation Match Display - fixed an issue on the Bank Reconciliation screen where the Suggested Matches tab displayed incorrectly and alignment was off when a statement entry had multiple suggested matches. Results now appear in a consistent, uniform layout.

Tax (UK)

MK2-7086 | VAT Return Display - fixed an issue where opening the VAT Return screen multiple times caused display problems, including missing boxes and ungrouped data.
