Upgrade to Sage Accpac ERP 5.4

Thursday, October 11th, 2007

Take advantage of the benefits of your software assurance!  Version 5.4 of Sage Accpac ERP was released more than a year ago and some clients are still in Version 5.3 or even 5.2.  267 new features distributed across all the modules have been added and if you are still in an older version, then you are missing out on these benefits.  Most importantly, the older your version, the more time we may need to spend converting your data, so while you are no doubt almost always busy we still recommend upgrading during you slow season if it is at all possible.

Examples include:

Accounts Receivable –  Keep track of your client’s credit card information in a safe and secure place!

Accounts Payable – Specify the method of payment for documents within payment entry.

Order Entry – Inquire on sales orders by customer based on order status.

Purchase Order – Automatically post Accounts Payable batches created from Purchase Orders.

The list certainly goes on and on.  Remember, new features were developed based on client requests to Sage Accpac’s development team!
