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 you can read by clicking here ...
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
To see the full list of the new features and links to how to access them and what they do then you can view the Sage 50cloud accounts v28.1 new features guide in the Sage's knowledgebase.

Until next time ...
