In-Product Notification Panel

Ever since we introduced Sage 50cloud a few years ago, we’ve been continuously developing new methods of awareness so you’ll know the value of Sage 50. We want to make it simple enough for you to discover all the new features as well as existing capabilities that Sage 50 has to offer. This is one of the main reasons why we’ve invested in delivering you product-related information in a consistent mechanism through in-product notifications. These will allow you to:

• Increase your awareness of features and capabilities of Sage 50cloud.
• Help you automate and streamline your day to day processes with useful tips and tricks.
• Learn about training opportunities and usability studies.

Default GL Cash Account for Receipts

One of the feedbacks we consistently heard was that when the GL Account is changed in Receipts, many users forget to change the GL Account back to the one most frequently used one. This was resulting in hours spent correcting transactions. With this feature, we’ve enabled selecting a default cash account. You can enable and configure the default cash account in the Maintain Customer Defaults window. Once configured, subsequent transactions will be switched to the account defined in the defaults.

Attachments Column

We’ve added a new Attachments column to help you easily identify which records contain an attachment. As you can see the in the screenshot below, when a record has an attachment, it will be marked with a check mark. This feature is applicable to Purchase Orders, Sales Invoicing, Customers, Payments, and Purchase Invoices.

Drag-and-Drop Files from Windows Explorer into Attachments Window

With this enhancement we made it simpler and easier to attach files without having to browse through Windows Explorer to select each file. This will save you time and give you the flexibility to attach single or multiple files at once.

Expanded Invoice Number Column

We have expanded the Invoice number column to help you easily spot different invoice numbers. This improvement is applicable to Invoice number field under Payments and Receipts (Receive Money) windows.

Human Resources Forms

We made Human Resources Forms now accessible through the Employees & Payroll Tasks shortcuts.

In addition to the capabilities and the enhancements mentioned above, we have also invested significant resources in “under the hood” improvements. While I don’t want to reveal these to you just yet, I can’t wait to communicate some of these with the 2021.0 release in July.

Until then please keep sharing your feedback, suggestions, and ideas on Sage City Ideation area.
