If you're the group owner, you now have more control over who has access to your group, by being able to remove both existing and pending users. You can also re-assign ownership of the group if you set it up, but one of your colleagues is responsible for managing access.

Just go to the Team page in Settings to do this:

You can now create an intercompany balance between contacts in different entities! This will show you all of the Invoices, Bills, Credit Notes, Over- and Pre-payments assigned to those contacts in the different entities, as well as any payments and allocations assigned to those items. Mayday will match them up automatically, so you can immediately see where one side hasn't been posted, or where there are discrepancies between items on the two sides.

To set this up, to to the Intercompany Balances page in Settings and create a new Balance:

The balance will then appear in the Balancer dashboard, and we'll show you all the details when you click through to the balance's page:

If you have one-off transactions that you need to recharge, or ones where it's difficult to codify a rule that will match them, Ad-hoc Recharges will now let you easily handle these scenarios.

In the Transaction Review page, simply select the transactions you need to recharge, and then "Create Ad-hoc recharge" from the dropdown menu, to configure how it should be apportioned. Simple!

You can now export the Balancer dashboard (both the regular and matrix views), so you can attach these to reports or work papers you're using in the rest of your month end flow.

Simply hit the button next to settings (see the screenshot below), and then choose "Save as PDF" to export the dashboard at your chosen date.

Note: for larger groups, it may be worth increasing the page size to A2, A1, or even A0 before saving, to improve readability.

You can now recharge transactions from Balance Sheet codes in one entity to Balance Sheet codes in other entities, for example to recharge inventory, or pre-payments. In doing this, we also now allow you to recharge transactions from Balance Sheet codes to Revenue codes in other entities.

As well as this, we made some performance improvements to the Calculations page, which should now load a lot more quickly. If you have marked a calculation as final, and then have late transactions which would affect those recharges, we'll now let you filter to just see those when reviewing your recharges.

We’re thrilled to announce that you can now configure intra-entity recharges within Mayday Recharger! 🎉

You’ll see a new design for the apportionments section in all of the rule types, which allow you to define how your recharges should split both between and then within each of the entities in your group. You can also use this to do pure intra-entity recharges, allowing you to split costs across tracking categories, or to move them between account codes, all within the same entity.

Introducing Mayday Rules, a game-changer for regular, fixed-amount intercompany recharges. 🚀

Do you regularly recharge fixed amounts across your group? We've seen lots of customers requesting this feature for Mayday Recharger, particularly those that charge management charges.

Up until now, every recharge was linked to source transactions in Xero. But now, with Mayday Rules:

✅ Recharge fixed amounts across entities

✅ Split by percentage or charge the same amount to every entity

✅ Post to Xero in just a few clicks, alongside any source transaction-linked recharges

Check out this neat video walkthrough from our CTO Griff for more details.
