Sage BusinessWorks 2010 Enhancement Summary


The fresh look of Sage BusinessWorks 2010 is the first sign of the remarkable changes that have taken place in your Sage BusinessWorks Accounting software.


Your Sage BusinessWorks Accounting software has undergone an extraordinary facelift over the past year, resulting in a product that is easier to use than ever before. Sage BusinessWorks 2010 is a culmination of months of development and collaboration not just with the Sage development team but also with customers like you. Through extensive usability testing, we reached out to Sage BusinessWorks customers to ensure the new look and feel of Sage BusinessWorks 2010 is not just pretty, but also highly functional and intuitive. As you navigate through the new launcher, you will be able to take advantage of all the new features with minimal
training because the basic workflow is virtually identical to what you are used to.
 
Enhanced Usability
Readily access your most used tasks
The Welcome page introduces the new look and feel of Sage BusinessWorks 2010 with a wealth of information available at a single click. Access all of the modules from the button bar across the top as you always have, or select from the module list in the left navigation pane. Selecting from the module list opens a whole new workspace that will simplify your work flow—choose the Common Tasks tab for a hyperlinked list of tasks that are used most often, choose the All Tasks tab for a hyperlinked list of all tasks in that module, or choose the Checklists tab for a hyperlinked list of setup or period-end tasks. Further streamline your business processes by creating your own “My Shortcuts” list with the Sage BusinessWorks tasks you access the most. The Startups option will ensure you are ready to go by automatically launching selected tasks when Sage BusinessWorks is started.

Stop toggling to see company contacts
Sage BusinessWorks 2010 simplifies maintenance of finance and purchasing contacts in Maintain Customers by displaying both contacts on the main screen. Both may be viewed and edited without having to toggle between the two contact records. The same simplification was carried through to Maintain Vendors where the finance and sales contacts are displayed on the main screen.

Reduce worry when voiding checks
Take the risk out of voiding a range of checks with the new, simplified Void Checks by Range interface. The new interface significantly reduces the chance of voiding the wrong range of checks by displaying a list of the checks selected to be voided. Checks may be deselected by removing the check mark from the Void box. The count
and the total amount of checks selected to be voided dynamically updates as checks are selected and deselected.
Make sales order changes whenever it's convenient
Save time and inconvenience by simply adding, deleting, or editing lines on sales orders that have been partially invoiced.

Forget about running out of invoice numbers
The Accounts Receivable (A/R) and Order Entry (O/E) invoice number fields have been expanded to 9 characters, significantly expanding the range of available invoice numbers.

Save time with a single invoice for credit card charges
Easily enter a single invoice for credit card charges or other invoices now that the General Ledger (G/L) distribution accounts have been expanded to 999 unique accounts on Accounts Payable invoices.

Get orders out faster

Two new fields—phone number and e-mail address—have been added to the Ship To form to facilitate processing of Drop Shipments. The fields are available to be added to sales order and invoice forms as well as the purchase order forms.
