What's New in Inventory Control 6.0?

Inventory Control version 6.0 includes the following new features and improvements:

  • Changes in Processing to Respect New Fiscal Period Locks

Inventory Control supports changes to Common Services' Fiscal Calendar.

Fiscal periods are now locked separately for each Sage ERP Accpac program, including Inventory Control. Although this change does not affect the way you enter transactions, you should note the following points:

  • The program checks the status of a fiscal period when you enter certain dates in Inventory Control transactions.

  • Day End Processing is not affected by locked fiscal periods.

Day End Processing creates transactions and updates costs for General Ledger, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, and Project and Job Costing (depending on your system and settings), as usual. However, if a fiscal period is locked for a ledger receiving these transactions from Inventory Control, the transactions may fail to post in the other ledger.

  • If a fiscal period is locked for General Ledger but not for Inventory Control, you can create transaction batches for General Ledger during Day End Processing or using the Create G/L Batch icon (depending on Inventory Control's G/L Integration settings).

However, when you try to post transactions to a locked period in General Ledger, the transactions will be placed in an error batch. You can avoid this situation if you create and post General Ledger batches for outstanding Inventory Control transactions before locking the period for General Ledger.

  • New Portal-Related Security Authorization

We have added a new authorization, Item Developer Inquiry, for Inventory Control to support the new Inquiry feature in the Sage ERP Accpac portal. Developers of third-party programs, including macros, need to incorporate this resource in their security structures.
