Great news for Acumatica fans. There is a new website for Acumatica University and it's open to everyone. Joel Gress has a nice write-up about it (click here). To access, just go to AcumaticaOpenUniversity.com. I have to say that this move by Acumatica doesn't surprise me at all. It is consistent with the "we have nothing to hide" company culture that I have been observing since April 2013. Acumatica has an "open" philosophy. You can open any screen and see the code behind it without having … [Read more...]

My Acumatica ERP Learning Road Trip – Highways and Byways
It’s hard to believe that it has been almost a year-and-a-half since I starting learning Acumatica (click here)! It’s time to assess where I’ve been and where I’m headed (as far as I know) on this journey. … [Read more...]
Acumatica Dashboards, Reports, and Inquiries
This week I passed S130 Reports, Dashboards, and Inquiries. I first started this course back in July 2013 (click here). Now, almost a year later, I finally finished, thanks to a renewed interest in the Acumatica reporting vision (click here). Learning a new ERP product: An endurance race … [Read more...]
R180 Abbreviated Business Intelligence
I completed the R180 Abbreviated Business Intelligence course tonight which is a really short course that just points you to some videos on the Acumatica website and then you take a test. I had seen these videos before when I first started looking into Acumatica almost a year ago. However, true to APAL form, I always seem to learn something new. This time around, there were a few things that caught my attention: In the Favorites and Usability Features video, it talks about how you … [Read more...]
F140 Passed
This week I passed the F140 Advanced Cash Management (V4.0) course. It's a pretty short course and it didn't take too long. The payment reclassification feature stood out to me this time around. It's nice that you can get all your deposits entered even though you might not know who the customer is, then associate the customer later if needed. This way you can easily do daily bank reconciliations every morning, even if you don't have all the information for each deposit. … [Read more...]
F130 Passed
This week I passed the F130 Advanced Accounts Payable (V3.0) course. I like that you no longer need to schedule an appointment with an instructor in order to take the exam. You can just answer the exam questions while logged into the Acumatica University website. Then, once you pass, your certificate appears immediately next to the course name on the Achievements tab. While going through the course features, I noticed the Approve Bills for Payment (AP502000) screen which I hadn't noticed … [Read more...]
F120 Passed
Tonight I passed the F120 Advanced Accounts Receivable (V3.0) course. I had some trouble with the customer statement feature in the beginning because it seemed to me that you could create multiple customer statement cycles for the same set of customers. It wasn't clear to me that you have to assign a customer statement cycle to a customer in order for it to do anything. I was using the Prepare Statements (AR503000) screen and things seemed to be processing fine, but when I would go to Print … [Read more...]
F110 Passed and Hard Closing of Sub Modules
I'm starting to gain a little bit of momentum in getting through the Acumatica University courses correctly. Tonight I passed the F110 Advanced General Ledger (V3.0) course. One of the things that stood out to me this time around is the hard closing of sub modules. The product that I currently use (Sage 500) is just now finally incorporating this into their current version (7.5). It's nice that Acumatica is including this from the beginning. I wanted to test that the hard closing of sub … [Read more...]
