Your reseller is the one to talk to in this situation. They are they best source of information as you would need some hands on. Have you gone to any classes?

Agreed. There may be extenuating circumstances about your set up that no one on here knows!

Thanks for your reply, BigLouie. Our reseller estimated around 12 hours to implement this feature. While this may be the route we end up going, I would prefer to try it out and gain as much knowledge about it myself in a test company before paying someone else. I do not believe our company setup is very advanced or customized.

No, I haven't went to any classes. But I am a serial system engineer and have regularly figured out advanced systems throughout the years with minimal assistance. That is what I am looking for here, and that is one reason that Sage has frustrated me. It seems that other than this forum, and the generous help from smart fellows like yourself, there is next to no online resources for starting points.

I have pitched sending me to classes in the future, but in the meantime I am overhauling the company network and bringing the previously non-existent IT department in to the new millennium. The IT and training budget is getting pulled in many many different directions, and classes/reseller costs are being pushed to a minimum right now.

12 hours? That seems a bit much unless there is something we don't know about.

That is one of the reasons that I am trying to cut it down by doing it myself. He wanted extra time to do it in a test company, then production. We have Work Order (which is barely being used at this time, but will be a full implementation in the coming months), and he said that would take a little extra time. Then time testing and checking reports are working properly.

I am really just looking for a general overview of the process. Not specifics. I just can't seem to find any online resources about this. Is it possible that this process could be broken down to about 5-10 high level steps?

OK if you send me your email address by private message I 'll send you the manual PDF for inventory which should explain it well enough for you to get going. And I agree that 12 hours is a bit much. I was thinking more like 1-2 hours.

To be perfectly honest, checking it in a test company to make sure everything is set properly and you are getting what you want is not a bad idea.
