When I first tried to connect to the Acumatica URL (http://localhost/AcumaticaERP for me), I got this error: At first I thought I should go back and revise my Installation Success post, but, after some quick Googling, I realized that this was a problem with my IIS installation. I'm not very familiar with IIS so it came as no surprise to me to I missed something during the IIS installation. The simple instructions here solved the problem for me: Now I am able to login successfully using … [Read more...]
Installation Success
Wow, that was a very pleasant experience. The whole installation process only took about 15 minutes and the wizard was very intuitive. Also, I took a look back at the installation file and noticed that it is less that 148 MB. Yes, you heard that right: 148 MB! This is a very big deal. The size of the installation file and the smooth installation process tells me that the code base is very efficient and I'm dealing with a modern ERP application. I didn't have to go setup any ODBC connections, … [Read more...]
Installation Prep
After 6 patient days of waiting, I finally have my hands on the installation media. I'm going to attempt to do the installation on my own by going through the 52 page installation guide.

First Training Course – F100 Hands-On Financials (V4.0)
I will be starting with the F100 Hands-On Financials (V4.0) course. Tonight I downloaded the material needed to complete the course. I will go through the 157 page .pdf file and setup a company from scratch. I like the from scratch approach. In the past I have worked with demo data when learning an ERP product, but it was hard to pay attention since the data was already created for me. I'm hoping that building a company from scratch will help me to stay more engaged during the learning … [Read more...]
Acumatica University Login Information
Today I received my invitation email with a link to create an account on the Acumatica University training platform! This gives me access to an entire library of training courses. I like the online format. With the previous ERP products that I learned, I had to dust off photocopies of old training manuals. Having the information online is a big improvement. Taking a quick glance, it appears that there are 41 courses available. I'll be checking with ARCVAR to see … [Read more...]
Introduction
I have decided to begin writing a blog about learning Acumatica (click here). This is going to be quite a learning experience, both with learning Acumatica and with trying to communicate via a blog. It could be a failure or a success. We'll see how it goes... I first became interested in Acumatica sometime last year (can't remember exactly when). It was mentioned on the Panorama Consulting Solutions blog (click here). As I began to learn more and more about Acumatica, I became more and more … [Read more...]
