Top 10 Reasons Why Sage Accpac ERP 5.4 is a Winner!

Top 10 Reasons Why Sage Accpac ERP 5.4 is a Winner!

We are all excited just like you for Sage Accpac ERP 5.4.
Some of the features were demonstrated during our last Shanghai Partner Insight.

If you miss that then here is a recap of those features but limited to our top ten choices. Here is the countdown of our top ten choice features:

In spot number 10:
Inventory Control provides for an ability to flag a location as either a physical or logical location. Locations flagged as logical cannot be used in sales transactions. Useful to use to solve issues such as van stocks, consignments, quarantine, etc.

Coming in at cool number 9:
Maintain and use Customer Item Numbering just like Vendor Items in AP. Ability to use them in entry and displayed in delivery order and invoice.

One that is hard to beat, at number 8:
Data Integrity Check that allow you to decide what to check in each module. This not only saves time but allow the use of this function more freely during operation hours to quickly spot problems.

Competitor killer number 7:
Determine what data is passed to GL from sub-ledger transactions including the ability to concatenate fields together to pass to GL Reference and Description fields.

Wow factor in demos in number 6:
Credit checking can include unprocessed transactions in AR and OE modules. It could also be setup to provide tolerance by amount and overdue days.

Sizzling number 5:
New inventory reports for Inventory Movement and Inventory Aging. These are much awaited reports for years.

Class beating number 4:
User definable GL account groupings can be setup to extend financial reporting. This will be a major advantage for FRW coders since you can now control the selection and grouping in ways specific to the business.

Screaming in at number 3:
Online posting can be setup at every module. Users have full control on whether to use a full online or a mix of online and batch processing. This is truly freedom of choice. Unlike competitors who are either batch or online, we provide for both depending on the choice of the user.

Second to none, number 2:
Bank Services is now able to provide for bank reconciliation right down to individual receipts instead of just deposit slip. You could even drilldown to view the original receipt transaction.

And for the perfect number 1 choice:
Out of the box support for FRS 19 in countries that has introduced this together with GST requirements. In these countries, the GST reporting is still required to be in local (functional) currency. To support this, the system allows GST tax authorities to use a different currency from the functional currency. At data entry, a different exchange rate can be used to translate source to tax currency beside the usual source to functional rate.

What did not make it to the list but is worth a mention:

10 Levels of BOM support
Credit card validation at data entry time
Capturing tax information for miscellaneous payment entries
Use of Item Wizard to quickly setup new items
Price checking rules to control approval, rejection or warning by user
Security control for viewing item cost in order entry
