Changes in Order Entry 5.5

Sage ERP Accpac Order Entry 6.0

What's New in Order Entry 5.5

Order Entry 5.5 let you:

Enter job-related orders, shipments, invoices, credit notes, and debit notes in Order Entry, track projects in Project and Job Costing, and generate invoices in Order Entry or in Project and Job Costing.
Use the start and end dates entered on Inventory Control price lists.
Enter different document dates and posting dates for transactions.
Drilldown to transactions that are on sales order and purchase order when entering orders, shipments, invoices, and credit or debit notes.
Enter prepayments on shipments as well as on orders and invoices.
Check that duplicate orders are not being entered for customers (based on the customer's purchase order number).
Calculate backordered quantities based on customer options.
Cost inventory items during posting but delay creating transactions and audit information until you run Day End Processing.
Inquire on items that are expected to ship within a specified date range.
Create order entry templates with blank tax groups.
Specify the source type codes for G/L transactions.
Hide, show, or allow users to edit the unit cost/extended cost fields in credit/debit note entry.
Override the customer account set during order entry.
Send transaction entries to General Ledger from Credit/Debit Note Entry.
Create single, unconsolidated A/R invoice details from job-related invoice details and invoice details with optional fields.

Each of the unconsolidated A/R invoice lines will produce a G/L entry with sales account, cost of goods sold account, and clearing account details when posted in Accounts Receivable.

Create a single detail line for each kitting item listed on an invoice, instead of showing one line for each component of each kitting item when processing job-related invoice details or invoice details with optional fields.
Post transactions faster.

Also note:

You now set up salespeople and add commission information in the A/R Salespersons form, instead of setting up salespeople in A/R and then adding commission information in Order Entry. The A/R Salespersons report has also been changed to show commission information.
The program ships with a different set of picking slips: OEPICKORDER1, OEPICKORDER2, OEPICKSHIPMENT1, and OEPICKSHIPMENT2. It no longer includes OEPICK01 and OEPICK02.
