Thursday, August 28th, 2008This is just a highlight of 2 of the many new features Sage Accpac ERP 5.5. It is also important to note there was a large effort to improve performance in the new release.
Drill Down to Quantities from Order Entry Screen
To all order entry transaction screens there is now the ability to drill down for each item to find out what is on sales order, which sales orders have quantities commited and what is on purchase order with associated expected arrival date. Previously Sage Accpac this was quite a task to retrieve this type of information for order entry clerk and now it can be done with the click of a button.
General Ledger Account Rollup
In the GL module you can now create rollup accounts that allow you to “rollup” account balances from child accounts into a parent account. For example you can setup a your sales accounts 4000, 4000-100 and 4000-200 and then rollup the balance from the 4000-100 and 4000-200 into the 4000 account balance. Previously this kind of information was obtained through the Financial Reporter in your financial reports. It can be now be simply setup through your GL chart of accounts.
