-- New Alternating Color Scheme -- Found in all Lookups, it improves
readability and helps users more easily review information contained within
a single row.
-- Easier Accounts Payable by Credit Card Processing -- Users can now
record an invoice using standard invoice terms and later make a full or
partial payment to the invoice using a credit card as the payment option.
This allows for more accurate tracking and aging of accounts payable
invoices while still providing the convenience and flexibility of paying
the invoice with a credit card.
-- Post Adjustments to Credit Card Vendor Invoices -- Users can now
easily post invoices directly to the Credit Card vendor to account for
interest, annual fees, and other adjustments.
-- Enter Payment Option -- The 'Enter Handchecks' feature has been
renamed to 'Enter Payments' and now provides the ability to quickly and
easily select invoices for payment and print vendor checks from one
convenient location.
-- Sales Tax ID's Assigned to Ship To Addresses -- Up to three sales tax
ID's can now be assigned to each customer Ship To Address, which provides
for faster, more accurate sales tax data entry on quotes, orders, and
invoices.
-- Reprint Closed Invoices and Sales Orders -- Closed invoices can now be
reprinted from the Order Entry Invoice Inquiry option, and closed sales
orders from the Sales Order Inquiry option.
-- Copy Bill To Address Button -- Users no longer have to open 'Maintain
Customers' to copy the Bill To Address into the Ship To Address windows. A
new button called 'Copy Bill To' will populate the Ship To Address with the
Customer's Bill To Address with a single click -- another nice timesaver in
version 8.
Enhanced Drill Down Screens
Sage BusinessWorks version 8 includes enhanced Customer Inquiry and Unpaid
Balance drill downs. When users select the Unpaid Invoices in the Customer
Inquiry, it not only displays a list of invoices that make up the balance,
it now also supports further drill-down functionality into the invoice
transaction inquiry, providing additional visibility into customer
accounts, including customer purchase order information, invoice
adjustments, and payments received.
Similar to the Customer Inquiry, when users select the Balance hyperlink in
the Vendor Inquiry, it now supports further drill down to the specific
transaction inquiry for all the invoices that make up the balance.
Microsoft Vista Support
Sage BusinessWorks version 8 is now compatible with the 32-bit version of
the new Microsoft Vista Business and Ultimate operating system editions.(1)
Cash Account Register Report
The new Cash Account Register available in the Cash Management module of
version 8 is a useful reconciliation tool that displays in detail all the
transactions that impact a cash account. It also provides business owners
with the flexibility and security of allowing certain employees to view
this information, while preventing employees from viewing other sensitive
general ledger account information.
