Sergey Blog: Overcoming Basic Authentication Error in Excel Acumatica

May 12, 2014 by Tim Rodman

Sergey gives us a tip on how to overcome the basic authentication error that you get when you try to refresh an exported Excel file over a connection that is not using SSL. This is a common occurrence when you are giving a demonstration of Acumatica because there is a high likelihood that you won’t be using a secure server for the demo. Sergey’s post interests me because it’s related to the Excel Export feature in Acumatica. I have also been interested in this feature recently and have been … [Read more...]

Acumatica Blog: NUCLEUS RESEARCH PUTS ACUMATICA CLOSER TO LEADER QUADRANT IN LATEST TECHNOLOGY VALUE MATRIX

May 9, 2014 by Tim Rodman

Acumatica has a new blog post up. I really like this post because I didn’t know that such a matrix ranking even existed for mid-market ERP products. This is good stuff! I downloaded the entire 13 page report and read it very carefully. The report includes a write-up on each vendor included in the matrix. A few of my random thoughts: … [Read more...]

Adding New Fields To Existing Screens in Acumatica

May 7, 2014 by Tim Rodman

Update (October 4th, 2016): This post was written on Acumatica 4.2, but things have changed since Acumatica 4.2. To see this done in the latest version of Acumatica, checkout this post by Mark Franks. Michael Coman provided another great Acumatica learning experience for me. The last one was related to creating a Project Quote (click here). This time he responded to a post on this blog and asked a question about adding new fields to existing screens in Acumatica (click here). At first I … [Read more...]

Sergey Blog: Access to SQL Server by SQL Query Analyzer or Management Studio Acumatica

May 6, 2014 by Tim Rodman

Sergey has a new post up about how to access your Acumatica database from outside your network. This is interesting to me because I’m currently experimenting with making Excel reports that point directly to the Acumatica database (click here). Sergey’s trick would be needed if these kinds of reports were to be implemented in a production environment. … [Read more...]

Richard Duffy: Acumatica Google Chrome App

May 5, 2014 by Tim Rodman

Richard Duffy put together a nice video about how to publish your implementation of Acumatica as a Google Chrome App. This isn't anything fancy from a technology standpoint, but I think that it provides a nice user experience and has the "cool factor" which is very important. I personally am a big fan of using Google Chromebooks (click here) for internal training. It's very easy to bring a stack of ten Google Chromebooks into a conference room, setup a projector for sharing your screen, and … [Read more...]

Zaletskyy’s blog: Screen Numbering in Acumatica

May 2, 2014 by Tim Rodman

I discovered yet another Acumatica blog out there. This is great for the Acumatica community. Zaletskyy has a great post about what the screen IDs mean in Acumatica. I did a post a while ago about how great screen IDs are (click here), but I didn’t realize that there was a method to the numbering. … [Read more...]

Week 1 – Out in the Cold With the Acumatica Database

May 1, 2014 by Tim Rodman

So it’s been a week since I temporarily abandoned the Acumatica Data Access Classes (click here to see what I mean). This is just a temporary thing and I’m sure that there is a better way to learn this, but I decided to take the blunt approach by hunting around the Acumatica database to see if I can get comfortable with how things are related. That’s right, no Acumatica University (click here), no help pages, no glossy manual, just me out in the cold alone with the Acumatica database. … [Read more...]

April 30, 2014 by Tim Rodman

Temporarily Abandoning the Acumatica Data Access Classes

April 22, 2014 by Tim Rodman

I still have a lot of hope for learning how the Data Access Classes in Acumatica can contribute to better reporting. As far as I can tell, I think the Data Access Classes function like the Acumatica Reporting??? side of the picture below. However, I think that I'm going to revert to my comfort zone for a little while to see how well I can create reports directly against the Acumatica database like in the Traditional Reporting side of the picture below. In more traditional ERP systems, your only … [Read more...]
