Jean Gea has a new post up on the Acumatica blog about the importance of dashboards and how they help to highlight the ERP information that you want to be paying attention to. … [Read more...]
Acumatica Input Validation and Regular Expressions
Acumatica allows you to attach input validation preferences to fields. This is very useful when you can’t use a drop-down list field for your scenario so you need a text field, but you want to put some amount of control on the text field. Good data entry is very important in an ERP system. The idea is that you can use the data in your ERP system to make critical business decisions. However, if the data isn’t very clean, you might waste a lot of time cleaning the data before it can be usable. … [Read more...]
BSI 2014 Top 100 VARs and Acumatica
Bob Scott recently released his 2014 Top 100 VARs. This is an annual listing of the top mid-market ERP resellers (based on annual revenue) which gives you a very good idea of which mid-market ERP products are the most popular. Regarding the top 100 VARs, the cloud products aren’t yet dominating the list, but they are definitely gaining traction: … [Read more...]
Sergey Blog: Acumatica and Microsoft SQL Server 2014
Sergey reminds us that Acumatica supports the latest version of Microsoft SQL Server (2014). This is the kind of stuff that you get when you go with a modern ERP platform like Acumatica. They support other modern tools like the latest version of Microsoft SQL Server. For those who don't know what Microsoft SQL Server is, it's the engine that powers most of the mid-market ERP systems. SAP and Oracle (the top ERP systems) have their own database engines, but most everyone else uses Microsoft … [Read more...]
Acumatica Field-Level Audit
This post is a follow-up to my mentioning the Field-Level Audit feature in a previous post (click here). I also recently noticed that Sergey blogged about this back in January 2013 (click here). The Field-Level Audit feature allows you to track changes to any field on any screen (I haven’t actually tried this on all fields on all screens, but this seems to be the case). This can help your company comply with Sarbanes-Oxley requirements, or just give you better visibility into change log … [Read more...]

Acumatica Blog: ERP For Millennials
A few months ago, Christian Lindberg posted about Acumatica and the Millennial Generation (formerly known as Generation Y). It reminded me of the Esurance commercials, “born on the web, raised by technology” (click here). I like his point that “Acumatica’s technology was built from scratch in the millennial years.” Acumatica is not an older product getting a Facelift or a Botox injection. Acumatica was born less than 10 years ago: it’s brand new. Yes, that means it isn’t as mature as the … [Read more...]
Sergey Blog: Reusing Acumatica Project Lookup
Sergey has a new post up about how to reuse a project lookup field. I don’t really understand all the code, but I do understand that he is adding a project lookup field to a screen that didn’t have a project lookup field. And, in order to do this, he is taking the code from an existing screen. Also, there is something about this being possible in the latest version of Acumatica (version 4.2). Again, I don’t completely understand what is going on here, but it’s encouraging to see that you can add … [Read more...]
Acumatica Installation and Configuration
Recently I passed the S100 Installation and Site Management and S120 Configuration Settings courses. Personally, I’m not a big fan of software installation because I find it boring, but it’s an important part of implementing Acumatica so it needs to be done correctly. It’s also good to be aware of the different deployment options available since Acumatica allows you to choose. I found the configuration course to be much more interesting because it introduced some new features that I’d like … [Read more...]
Zaletskyy’s blog: Acumatica and Microsoft Visual Studio
I’m pretty much done going through the archives on Zaletskyy’s blog (click here). Going forward though, I’d like to continue to highlight interesting posts as he makes them available. Here is a recent one regarding Acumatica and Microsoft Visual Studio. Personally, I prefer to focus on the power user features rather than the super geeky technical stuff, but there is definitely the need to “open the hood” if you need to do some serious customization and that’s what Microsoft Visual Studio offers … [Read more...]
