What’s new

A new look for the app.
Two more document designs: “Modern” and “Elegant”.
Document designs can be customised – accent colour, text colour, typeface, plus weight and colour per text type.
Four-stage dunning: a payment reminder plus first, second and third notice – each with its own fee, payment deadline and wording.
Swiss support: CHF, Swiss VAT rates and QR-bill.
Dark mode.
Working on two Macs: put your current data in a shared folder and pick it up on the other Mac. Not multi-user – you always work on one device at a time.

Invoices

Refreshing from the product list no longer overwrites price and VAT if they were edited by hand on the line item.
New line item type “group” – items inside a group are numbered .1, .2 and so on.
Documents can be printed in English. The language is chosen per customer in the customer record.
Giro code and PayPal code on invoices and dunning letters – the customer scans and pays with the amount pre-filled.
A note can be added to any line item and is printed beneath it.
Header and footer text can be changed per invoice.
Partial credit notes: a correction can cover individual items, part quantities or a lump sum.
Revise an invoice after printing – either reset it to draft (as long as it has not left your business) or create a new revision, with the old one cancelled by a credit note.
Line items can be reordered with the mouse.
The service date can be given as a period, from and to.
Invoice notices can be switched on and off: retention notice, payment request and your own custom note.
The remark is printed as a subject line above the salutation, following DIN 5008.
The salutation now uses the surname only – “Dear Mr Müller,”.
Invoice: the remark can be edited in its own large window – columns set with the tab key appear exactly as they will on paper.
Keyboard shortcuts for new, save, print and delete.

Settings

My company: new account holder field for the bank details.
My company: the logo can be stored per database.
Defaults: more units of measure, and unneeded ones can be hidden for products and invoices.
Defaults: the numbering scheme for customers and products is now configurable too.
Defaults: a new switch per number range: reset at the turn of the year or keep counting.
Database: restore a backup, back up manually, choose the backup folder and add a second storage location.
Database: before every database update SWawi creates an extra backup automatically.
Database: create, rename, delete and switch between several named databases.
Import / export: import and export customers and products via CSV, and import customers from Mac Contacts.
Settings now save themselves when the window is closed – the save button is gone.

General

The overview printout for customers, products and invoices has been reworked.
Dashboard: the Outstanding, Overdue and Open drafts tiles are clickable and open the matching filtered invoice list.
Products: a new field for internal notes – for your eyes only, never printed.
Customers: new fields for customer type (business, public authority, private) and language. For private customers the first name appears in the address block.
The sort order of the overviews is remembered after you leave the menu item.
New “Data exchange” menu – back up right away (⌘⇧S) and hand over your data for the other Mac (⌘⇧A).
Customers: separate billing and delivery addresses per customer – applied automatically when a document is created.
XRechnung validator: incoming XRechnung and ZUGFeRD documents can be displayed and printed as a readable invoice.
Help has been expanded considerably: a help window covering every area, context help in more screens and the new “What’s new” menu item.

Bug fixes

The customer, product and invoice lists stayed empty on slower Macs.
Line items: long product and free texts now wrap correctly.
Invoice header: a long remark now wraps correctly.
When printing, the last line was missing from texts of three lines or more.
The customer number was not incremented correctly when assigned manually.
CSV import assigned numbers twice, and the settings then showed the old counter value.
Line items: text that had just been typed was lost when an item was moved.
The remark could not be edited on older Macs.
All monetary amounts are now rounded half-up throughout.
The number format on documents follows the country of your business.
If an invoice number is already taken, SWawi says so instead of failing silently.
E-invoicing: the small-business scheme, discounts and private customer names are now output correctly in XRechnung and ebInterface.
A remark being typed was lost when clicking straight on save, print or the remark window.
About five lines were left unused at the bottom of documents, causing unnecessary page breaks.
The column headings of the line item table were displayed too small.
The status bar kept showing the creation date of the last opened record, even on the dashboard.
If the contact name already contained a title, it appeared twice in the salutation.
E-invoicing: the issuer’s contact person was missing from the XML – XRechnung requires it for invoices to public authorities.
Smaller bug fixes.

New features and improvements

Invoicing: an overall discount can be entered in the invoice total. Products and line items now also accept negative amounts.
Invoicing: when the invoice date changes, SWawi recalculates the due date automatically from the customer’s payment terms.
Settings: invoice numbers are more flexible: YYYY-MM-DD-XXXX or any combination of those parts.
Settings: a second, separate database can be created, and you can switch between the two at any time.
New units of measure: work unit, flat rate, square metre and cubic metre.

Bug fixes

With the small-business scheme (§19 UStG) enabled, invoice amounts are now shown correctly without VAT everywhere.
Invoicing: the remark was carried over into a new invoice when the focus changed.
Customers: the country picker now opens upwards on small screens, as do the line item pickers.
