In our previous system, we were able to mark General Ledger accounts as "out of use" (inactive) to help maintain and declutter the general ledger. It also ensured no subsequent postings were made to the account. My current understanding is that this facility is unavailable on iFinance and the override is to include "do not use" in the description". Unfortunately, this just leads to an unnecessarily cumbersome TB and increases the risk of mis-postings.
Also, our Trust operates over 3 sites. All general ledger accounts have therefore been replicated 3 times to maintain a chronological ledger and provide for future use of the ledgers at a later stage. An inactive override would enable these accounts to remain dormant, in the background, until required.
Our school is extremely frustrated by the noticeable lack of progress on feature requests within this portal. Many highly requested enhancements have remained unaddressed for years, despite ongoing demand from users. This prolonged lack of development has led to growing dissatisfaction and concerns about whether customer feedback is being adequately considered in the product roadmap.
If other users share these concerns and would be interested in establishing an independent forum to discuss common issues, priorities, and collective engagement with the provider, please feel free to contact me directly at d.moss@hamptonschool.org.uk.
