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...]
Custom Explore Query
One of my favorite features in Sage 500 is Business Insights Explorer. Recently though, I was pleased to discover that Acumatica has a similar feature. Each module in Acumatica has an Explore section in the Work Area area. For example, in the Accounts Payable module, there are five menu options available in the Explore section: Vendor Summary, Vendor Details, Bills Pending Payments, Checking Pending Printing, and 1099 Year Summary. However, you have the option to add your own menu options … [Read more...]
Western Digital Crowded Cloud Commercial
I think this recent TV commercial does a good job of illustrating why it's good to have the option to run your own private cloud. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZSPqWwGp2Y … [Read more...]
Spell Checker
I was doing one of the exercises for the F130 Advanced Accounts Payable (V3.0) course today (I know, I'm still not done re-taking the courses, grrr). I was supposed to enter the word "Certification" in the Description field on the Bills and Adjustments (AP301000) screen, but I accidentally entered "Certificatin" instead. However, because I'm using Google Chrome, the spelling error was highlighted with a red line underneath it. It jumped right out at me. Then it dawned on me, I now have a spell … [Read more...]
10 Million and 1 Billion
Recently, on November 18th, Acumatica announced that it had raised $10 million in funding. At first $10 million didn't look like that much to me because Xero, a SaaS ERP product aimed at smaller companies, announced on October 14th that they had raised $150 million in funding. However, the problem with Xero is that they are still not profitable, while Acumatica CEO Yury Larichev claims to be already profitable with the comment, "We do not need more funding because we are already making money." … [Read more...]
A Concrete Reason for SaaS
November wasn't a very perpetual month for this endeavoring PAL. My wife and I had our second child and we have been adjusting to life with two kids. So Acumatica took a backseat (as it should have). However, in this post I'd like to revisit the previous post on my experience with Acumatica on iPhone. Thanks to Gabriel for commenting on the post and setting me straight that indeed Acumatica does work on the iPhone. I tried using my iPhone to connect to the Acumatica Partner Portal which runs … [Read more...]
Acumatica on iPhone
When I first began using Acumatica, I tried to connect using my iPhone but was unable to. Tonight I decided to try again, but I'm still having the same problem. I can login, but I'm not able to click on any of the navigation links (like Finance or Time & Expenses in the screenshot below). I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Does Acumatica work on the iPhone? This article seems to indicate that it does, but it's old (from 2010) and the link that it refers to … [Read more...]
Positioned for a cloud burst?
It seems like everything that we hear about these days in the IT arena is focused on the cloud. Of course, Acumatica can be run in the cloud and even was the first ERP application to be available for the Windows Azure cloud. However, I think that we will see the cloud burst at some point, or at least have a hole punched in it. Why? People still own houses and cars. We don't all rent and we don't all lease our cars. If you have a long-term view, there is an economic advantage to owning a … [Read more...]
Tabbed Browsing Benefits
One of the many benefits to using software that is web-based is that you do all your work in an internet browser and internet browsers are pretty flexible. There are lots of them to choose from and most of them have a pretty extensive list of features. For me, I prefer Google Chrome. It's fast (this is the most important feature), all my bookmarks and browsing history sync with the Chrome app on my iPhone, it's minimalistic design makes more room for viewing webpages, it has one field for … [Read more...]
