Features Added in Purchase Orders 5.3A and 5.3B
If you are upgrading from Purchase Orders 5.2, note the following features added in Purchase Orders 5.3A and Purchase Orders 5.3B
Purchase Orders 5.3A
Purchase Orders 5.3A included two major feature enhancements that provided tighter integration throughout Sage ERP Accpac accounting modules and an increased ability to adapt Sage ERP Accpac to your requirements.
-
Customize Purchase Orders with an unlimited number of optional fields for transactions and transaction details.
-
Print optional field information for purchase orders, purchase order details, vendors, and items on purchase orders forms.
Purchase Orders 5.3B
Purchase Orders 5.3B added two major enhancements, along with several smaller features:
Other changes in Purchase Orders 5.3B
Purchase Orders version 5.3B included several other changes and features, especially when manually prorating additional costs:
-
Manual proration in Purchase Order 5.3B changed, so you now enter the manually prorated amount for each detail in a Distribute Proration window.
-
You can now manually prorate additional costs for invoices.
-
You can manually prorate additional costs to details in the currency used by the additional cost vendor. Previous versions of Purchase Orders required proration in the functional currency.
-
Purchase Orders now provides an option to directly create general ledger entries for expensed additional costs. This lets you choose when Sage ERP Accpac generates entries for expensed additional costs during PO posting/day end or when the invoices are posted in Accounts Payable.
If you generate entries in PO, the program debits the expense account and credits the payables clearing account.
-
If you are using Project and Job Costing, the optional fields for transaction details in Purchase Orders will include settings for Labor and Overhead G/L accounts and for Project and Job Costing External Cost Transactions.
-
The Return Posting Journal and the Credit Note Posting Journal now display numbers as negative amounts. (This applies to quantities, extended amounts, prorated additional costs, tax summary amounts, retained amounts, and job expensed tax amounts.)
For example, if you post a return of five items, the return posting journal will display a quantity of "-5." If you later adjust the return to two items, the Return Posting Journal will show a "+3" to record the change in quantity.
