Changes in Inventory Control 5.5

The most important additions made to Inventory Control 5.5 were the following:

A new Internal Usage form for recording internally consumed inventory.
Integration to Sage Fixed Assets (FAS) when taking items out of inventory for internal use.
More options that let you cost items during posting, but create subledger transactions and audit information when you run Day End Processing.

In version 5.5, these two processes have been separated to give you better control over posting performance.

Item inquiries on the quantity on sales order, quantity on purchase order, and committed quantity in the Location Details form.
Drilldown to Project and Job Costing from job-related shipment and adjustment transactions.
Start and end dates for price lists.
Ability to prevent already-printed transfer slips from being reprinted.
User-definable source types for G/L transactions.
Different document dates and posting dates for transactions.
Multi-level bills of material added to Sage ERP Accpac 100 and Sage ERP Accpac 200. (Multi-level bills of material were added to Sage ERP Accpac 500 in version 5.4.)
Faster processing, especially when posting and running Day End Processing.
