First though, a warning: if you use Sage50 Manufacturing or Sage Job Costing do not, under any circumstances, install this update. There is a Sage Knowledgebase article explaining why ...
- Paste Multi-Line Addresses - This is my favourite new feature and looked fabulous on the new features webinar I saw - you can copy an address in a line separated by commas or in some other formats too and Sage will paste it into the address fields intelligently for you - even recognising the postcode
- Read-Only Access User Type
- Set Payments due on Contact Records - if you have a payment due value of Zero it might be that there is no set payment term in place, or it could be that payment is due immediately - so you now have the option of marking accounts as having payment due on invoice
- Marking an invoice as disputed in the batch entry screen instead of having to post then mark them separately - you may want to enter a disputed invoice to keep records up to date, but flag it so it isn't paid while you resolve the dispute
- Import grouped audit trail transactions
- Open more than one company simultaneously - this is a game-changer if you bookkeep for a group of companies and a long-overdue feature in my opinion
- Dashboard enhancements including 5 new widgets
- A new Data Management feature to support you in your good housekeeping of the data - tools to support you in archiving and deleting old data when your data set it getting large. - keep your eye out for a future post just about this as reviewing and removing old data is something I highly recommend doing at least annually
- Compliance updates for Intrastat and VAT
- Remote Data Access improvements
