    General

    • Menu search: the new quick search allows you to instantly find any menu option by typing a few letters, without having to manually navigate through the menu tree. Use the Ctrl-K shortcut to access the menu search.
    • Report Designer: you can now customise report layouts directly from the application. You can create an unlimited number of variants for each report. Custom layouts can be exported and imported as *.cheelreport files to share them with other Cheel users. This feature is available in all modules.
    • Anonymised backup: a new option allows you to create a backup that protects sensitive data. This feature is useful when sending a backup to Cheel technical support for diagnostic purposes, for example. Names of individuals, companies, IBANs and other sensitive data are fully anonymised in the backup. Important! Do not use this option to create security backups of your data.

    Accounting

    • Year-end closing, locking financial years: financial data can no longer be modified in locked financial years. Accounting entries, payroll calculations, sales and purchase documents are set to read-only mode.
    • Importing Excel and CSV accounting entries: you can now import accounting entries from Excel or CSV files. VAT and currencies are supported, and the import format is compatible with the structure of Winbiz imports.
    • VAT based on consideration received: in addition to manual entries, entries from subsidiary modules (Sales and Purchasing) can now be accounted for using the consideration received method. VAT is calculated proportionally based on amounts received and paid, taking into account payment dates, cash discounts, reductions/surcharges and different VAT rates. The accounting treatment does not change; you retain visibility of open debtor and creditor items in financial accounting while using this VAT accounting method.
    • Chart of accounts layouts: with Chart of Accounts Layouts, you can customise the appearance of your Balance Sheet and Income Statement directly in Cheel, without using Excel. In addition to the main chart of accounts, you can create several Chart of Accounts Layouts. The following features are available:
      • Rename account numbers and names and headings. Each account can have a different number or name from the main chart of accounts. This allows certain information to be anonymised in specific financial statements.
      • Hide accounts and headings. This can be used, for example, to hide certain accounts and replace them with a subtotal or calculation, simplifying a complex or overly detailed chart of accounts.
      • Create subtotals that can be freely positioned.
      • Create complex calculations, display the result in real time and position it freely.
      • Change the position of each item in the account list, regardless of its account number. When the position of subtotals or calculations is changed, the results are recalculated in real time.
    • Bank reconciliation: when camt.053 files without details and then with details were imported for the same period, some bank entries could be duplicated; fixed.

    Sales

    • QR invoices: the default QR code resolution has been changed. The display time of invoices with QR bills has been significantly improved. QR code scanning by certain readers is now faster and more reliable.
    • Posting: the accounting journal can now be defined directly in the payment method. It will be used automatically when posting payments.
    • Documents without VAT: in certain configurations, the wording “VAT included” was incorrectly displayed on documents issued by companies not subject to VAT; fixed.
    • Currencies: the exchange rate can now be modified in the Settings tab of the Sales Document Properties.
    • Discounts: percentage discounts could be displayed over two lines; fixed.

    Payroll

    • Swissdec transmission: the interfaces for monthly withholding tax transmission, annual declarations and EMA declarations now display only the funds and cantons for which data exists for the relevant period, reducing unnecessary information during transmissions.
    • System payroll items: certain payroll items are configured according to the Swissdec standard. These items can be used in payroll calculations, but some parts of their configuration cannot be modified to ensure calculation accuracy. If you need to customise protected parts of these system items (Source: System), you can duplicate the item and make your changes in the new item (Source: Custom).
    • Insurance (AHV, AC): additional checks have been added to handle special cases involving the validity dates of applicable rates.
    • Holiday pay: in certain configurations, interim holiday payments were not taken into account; fixed.
    • Withholding tax: the assessment could be empty in certain situations; fixed.
    • Partner: the EX (foreign) work canton has been added to the employee's partner configuration.

    Platform

    • Technology update: Cheel applications have been upgraded to a newer version of the platform to improve performance, reliability and security. This update provides a solid foundation for future developments of the solution.

      Exceptionally, downloading and installing this update may take longer than usual. This is normal. If you encounter an issue during the download, simply restart the application.

    General

    • Views and filters: filters were automatically saved when creating a view in a list. A new option allows you to define the filter behaviour for each view. The new options are:
      • Do not save filters (Default option)
      • Save filters and apply them when selecting the view
      • Clear filters each time the view is selected

    Sales

    • Visual identities: improved margin management in visual identities associated with sales documents.
    • Open debtor items: a new Open Debtor Items report is available. Selection options and grouping by currency and debtor control accounts make it easier to reconcile open items with financial accounting.
    • Debtor payments: in document type management, used Debtor Payment document types can no longer be deleted. The system also ensures that at least one Debtor Payment document type exists to ensure the payment process can be completed.

    Payroll

    • Payroll calculations: two new columns are now displayed in the payroll calculation list:
      • Year
      • Year + Month

    February 2026

    General

    • Login: the “Stay signed in” option has been improved to simplify authentication when opening a new session.

    Accounting

    • VAT return: a display issue could occur after validating a VAT return when refreshing the page; fixed.

    Sales

    • Debtor payment import
      • Payment reconciliation: improved reconciliation of payments with one or more invoices in cases where the same QR code was used multiple times.
      • Payment date: when manually assigning a payment to an invoice, the date is now entered automatically.
    • Sales documents
      • Global discounts / surcharges: in the item lines, a new “Exclude from global discounts / surcharges”option allows a line to be excluded in special cases, such as fixed shipping costs or negative item lines used to deduct advance payments on a final invoice.

    Payroll

    • Swissdec: for annual UVG, UVGZ and daily sickness allowance declarations, it is now possible to configure the manual release option individually. This allows you to choose for which recipients a confirmation page should be displayed after transmission, enabling you to modify the declared amounts.
    • Insurance solution code: the same code can now be used for multiple insurance solutions. This makes it possible to handle cases such as daily sickness allowance insurance for apprentices.
    • Daily sickness allowance, UVGZ: the number of daily sickness allowance and UVGZ insurance solution codes per employee is no longer limited.
    • Calculation security: to ensure the integrity of calculations, the validity dates of payroll items that affect calculations already performed are now locked.
    • Withholding tax
      • Tax scales: in addition to automatic downloads from Cheel, withholding tax scales manually downloaded from the Swiss Federal Tax Administration website can now be imported.
      • Reports: two new monthly and annual withholding tax reports are available. The monthly report is also recognised as a certificate in certain cantons (e.g. Geneva).
      • Special withholding tax rate: a withholding tax rate can now be entered manually in the payroll item settings for each employee, independently of the associated tax scale.
      • DPI number (debtor of taxable benefits): previously, only one DPI number was available and linked to the workplace. This limitation prevented the automatic calculation of withholding tax for employees domiciled outside the canton. Under Cantonal Data, it is now possible to enter multiple DPI numbers for each tax canton, depending on the different workplaces.
