ACCPAC ships new Pro Series 7.2
Announcement posted by ACCPAC 10 Oct 2003
Features international tax handling, wizard-driven productivity tools, end-to-end business management application integration
ACCPAC Australia Pacific, Inc., a provider of end-to-end business management applications to the small and middle-market, has announced to its channel at its annual partner event in Sydney - the local availability of version 7.2 of the ACCPAC Pro Series accounting and manufacturing system.
Among the extensive new features in this version are international accounting support for Goods and Services Tax (GST) and a series of new productivity-enhancing wizards designed to accelerate shipping and inventory forecasting processes. ACCPAC Pro Series 7.2 is also compatible with other ACCPAC solutions, offering small and mid-size businesses (SMBs) an integrated end-to-end business management suite that includes accounting, manufacturing, CRM, HR, Warehouse Management, e-commerce, EDI, and enterprise-wide reporting.
Modules for both Editions of ACCPAC Pro Series, Small Business and Enterprise, are being upgraded. Now all of these modules can be run on the Microsoft SQL database, in addition to Microsoft Visual FoxPro. IBM DB2 support, already available for ACCPAC Pro Series 7.1, is slated for version 7.2 in calendar Q4, 2003.
"Businesses are constantly seeking choice and flexibility in their critical business management applications," said ACCPAC Australia Pacifics Senior Vice President, Daithi Holden. "ACCPAC Pro Series continues to deliver an extensive feature set in a package that can be fully customised to fit their individual needs, reinforcing our strong commitment to provide the freedom of choice that empowers our customers with solutions capable of meeting those needs."
New Internationalisation and General Accounting Features
ACCPAC Pro Series 7.2 now fulfils the taxation needs of international companies with new Goods and Services Tax (GST) support. Multiple GST builds on the standard VAT method of taxation by allowing users to assign multiple tax codes to a single line item. This enables ACCPAC Pro Series 7.2 to be configured and customised for use in foreign countries or locales that have specialised line item tax requirements.
General accounting enhancements include support for alphanumeric account codes in the General Ledger for greater flexibility, and with version 7.2, users can now defer invoicing during shipment, plus combine shipments from all or just selected invoices into a single, consolidated invoice.
New Wizard-Driven Features and Other Productivity Enhancements
With a strong focus on improving productivity for users, ACCPAC Pro Series 7.2 offers a range of enhancements, from new wizard-driven processes to extensive improvements in printing options and reporting features.
The new Inventory Item Forecasting Wizard can project the demand for an item, by location, and estimate a new order point and order quantity. Users can then update the system, replacing their current order point and quantity with the newly estimated values.
The new Quick Ship feature is also wizard-driven and enables users to easily ship multiple sales orders simultaneously by entering one bulk sales order command.
More flexibility in printing options is also included in version 7.2, with users being able to print or view orders and invoices upon creation, or when making any changes. The new Print icon allows users to print sales orders, invoices and purchase orders immediately after saving them or when editing them. By using the new Edit Sequence command when printing, users have the flexibility to edit the line sequence of sales orders, purchase orders and invoice line items for improved presentation to clients.
ACCPAC Pro Series 7.2 also features several new capabilities for attaching files to customer, inventory and other information entries. For example, users can now hyperlink attachments, enabling them to attach spreadsheets, correspondence and other documents to customer files. Picture files can now be added to inventory items. In addition, the ACCPAC Pro Series Message Centre has been enhanced to enable bulk message delivery, including file attachments.

ACCPAC Pro Series 7.2, Enterprise Edition, and ACCPAC Pro Series 7.2, Small Business Edition, are available now from ACCPAC Solution Providers at an SRP of AUD$2070 per module for the Enterprise Edition, and AUD$1380 per module for the Small Business Edition.
