Here is a good article pointing out that the cloud hype hasn't reached the ERP world yet and maybe never will. Acumatica is positioned for this by allowing their customers to buy and host Acumatica on-premise. NetSuite, on the other hand, only allows the SaaS option. http://panorama-consulting.com/what-is-the-surprising-future-of-cloud-erp/ This reminds me of the Western Digital commercial that I posted a link to a few months … [Read more...]

Project Quote Form
Michael Coman started a discussion on how to create a Project Quote form in Acumatica over on the Acumatica ERP Software User Group. I came up with something very simple which hopefully will be a good start. This was my first experience actually doing a real report/form with the Acumatica Report Designer. It definitely has a long way to go before becoming a user-friendly report designer like Crystal or SSRS. But, it is pretty flexible and, once you get the hang of it, it's not too … [Read more...]

Jon Roskill Open Invitation

Acumatica LinkedIn Group Comparisons (Part 1)
I thought it might be interesting to periodically check how the Acumatica groups on LinkedIn compare to some other ERP groups on LinkedIn. I looked up 18 different ERP groups on LinkedIn (including Acumatica) to compare their number of members and number of discussions posted this month in order to gauge how large and how active they are. Now, this is not a very accurate method to try and determine how large the user base is for these ERP products and how active they are, but I think it's still … [Read more...]
Looking to the Future
This week I put together a document called Case For Ending Sage 500 Maintenance (click the link to see the PDF document). My company currently pays a very sizable sum of money every year to Sage for the privilege of upgrading to the latest version of Sage 500 ERP. In recent years, however, it has become apparent that this money would be better spent on other things. In contrast, each new version of Acumatica is providing substantial new features. Even the upcoming release of the lowly … [Read more...]
Customer Portal
It looks like Acumatica will be adding a customer portal: http://web.archive.org/web/20140404223740/http://www.acumatica.com:80/blog/customer-lifecycle-management-in-acumatica This is good news. Customers will now have access to Acumatica University which has become a great repository of Acumatica learning material. Also, this is another logical step in the direction of Acumatica becoming an ERP provider that is here to stay. … [Read more...]
Field Security

“Help -> Get Link” Example Using Excel
My last post was about hyperlinks and I'd like to continue on the same theme in this post, but use an actual example in Excel. Sometimes it would be nice to make an Excel file that contains hyperlinks to the actual screens in Acumatica for each record that you're viewing. In this example, I'm going to take a simple list of vendors in Excel and add a hyperlink to each vendor ID that will drill into the Vendors (AP303000) screen in Acumatica for that vendor. Basically, all you need to do is the … [Read more...]
“Help -> Get Link” and the Power of Hyperlinks
I noticed on the top of Acumatica screens, under the Help menu, there is an option called Get Link. I tried it out and got very excited about the potential. Basically, you can open a record on a screen and then get a hyperlink that will open the screen for you and take you to the exact record that you were looking at. This got me to thinking about the lowly hyperlink. There are lots of great advantages to using web-based software like Acumatica. When we think of web-based software, things like … [Read more...]
