2020 was probably the most special year in recent decades. The leading trade fairs BAU covered what crafts can expect in 2021 under the following points:

  • The challenge of climate change
  • digital transformation
  • The future of living
  • Resources & recycling
  • The construction industry after Corona — what's next?
2021 wird Corona auch für die Baubranche ein zentrales Thema bleiben
In 2021, corona will also remain a central issue for the construction industry

You can find more information about the topics here.

January release

We wouldn't be Plancraft if we hadn't used the holidays and time between years to bring new features to you. We will inform all users about the details in an extra post. The essential delicacies that until the end of January Be released:

Create a new contact directly from project folders

The longest-awaited feature, now at the start for you: Create folders and create the new customer directly without detours. Delightful!

Your own stationery

Our standard layout may be sexy, but for more variety, we now have separate stationery for everyone!

Improved calculation

Instead of just being able to calculate the EP (unit price), you can now easily calculate the GP (total price). Calculate all costs for the position of your choice and Plancraft will calculate the XP for you.

Also practical: You can now also enter the GP directly and Plancraft will calculate the associated XP for you based on the amount. Cool!

Other features

  • Credits: new document type
  • Default texts: Bold, italicized, or underlined
  • Automatic formulations: For example, for 0% VAT Invoices (e.g. reverse batch in accordance with §13b UStG.)
  • Automatic update the date in documents

Outlook - what we are currently working on

2 major topics are already being worked on:

  • Several contacts for company contacts
  • X-bill/ZUGFeRD invoices

Sales tax back to 19%!

The return to sales tax also affects your work as a craftsman. As in summer 2020, there are a few things to consider here. We have written a separate blog post for you! The key points:

  • The date of performance is decisive for the sales tax
  • So 16% until 31.12.2020, 19% again from 1.1.2021 (for the standard rate)
  • In the final invoices, the tax burden that has already been invoiced is offset against the total tax burden due
  • Partial invoices, on the other hand, are independent invoices and are not corrected

If you want to know more now, it's all for you here along.
