ACCPAC Ships New Pro Series 7.2
Features International Tax Handling, Wizard-Driven Productivity Tools, End-to-End Business Management Application Integration
QUEBEC CITY, PQ, August 21, 2003 - ACCPAC International, Inc., a subsidiary of Computer Associates International, Inc. (NYSE: CA), announced today at its ACCPAC Partnership 2003 Conference being held here the availability of version 7.2 of the ACCPAC Pro Series(tm) accounting and manufacturing system. Among the extensive new features in this version are international accounting support for Multiple Value-Added Tax (VAT) and a series of new productivity-enhancing wizards designed to accelerate shipping and inventory forecasting processes. ACCPAC Pro Series 7.2 is also compatible with other ACCPAC® solutions, offering small and mid-size businesses (SMBs) an integrated end-to-end business management suite that includes accounting, manufacturing, CRM, HR, Warehouse Management, e-commerce, EDI, and enterprise-wide reporting.
Modules for both Editions of ACCPAC Pro Series, Small Business and Enterprise, are being upgraded, including General Ledger (GL), Accounts Payable (AP), Accounts Receivable (AR), Order Entry (OE), Inventory Control (IC), Purchase Orders (PO), Job Costing, and Multi Currency. In addition, all ACCPAC Pro Series Manufacturing and specialty modules are being upgraded, including Production Entry (PE), Work Orders (WO), Shop Control (SC), Message Master, Customization Manager, Bills of Materials (BOM), Bills of Lading, Customer Connect, ProAlert and Project Accounting. Now all of these modules can be run on the Microsoft® SQL database, in addition to Microsoft Visual FoxPro®. IBM® DB2 support, already available for ACCPAC Pro Series 7.1, is slated for version 7.2 in calendar Q4, 2003.
"Businesses are constantly seeking choice and flexibility in their critical business management applications," said ACCPAC Vice President, Product Management, Craig Downing. "ACCPAC Pro Series continues to deliver an extensive feature set in a package that can be fully customized to fit their individual needs, reinforcing our strong commitment to provide the freedom of choice that empowers our customers with solutions capable of meeting those needs."
New Internationalization and General Accounting Features
ACCPAC Pro Series 7.2 now fulfills the taxation needs of international companies with new Multiple Value-Added Tax (VAT) support. Multiple VAT builds on the standard VAT method of taxation by allowing users to assign multiple tax codes to a single line item. This enables ACCPAC Pro Series 7.2 to be configured and customized for use in foreign countries or locales that have specialized line item tax requirements.
General accounting enhancements include support for alphanumeric account codes in the General Ledger for greater flexibility, and with version 7.2, users can now defer invoicing during shipment, plus combine shipments from all or just selected invoices into a single, consolidated invoice.
New Wizard-Driven Features and Other Productivity Enhancements With a strong focus on improving productivity for users, ACCPAC Pro Series 7.2 offers a range of enhancements, from new wizard-driven processes to extensive improvements in printing options and reporting features.
The new Inventory Item Forecasting Wizard can project the demand for an item, by location, and estimate a new order point and order quantity. Users can then update the system, replacing their current order point and quantity with the newly estimated values.
The new Quick Ship feature is also wizard-driven and enables users to easily ship multiple sales orders simultaneously by entering one bulk sales order command.
More flexibility in printing options is also included in version 7.2, with users being able to print or view orders and invoices upon creation, or when making any changes. The new Print icon allows users to print sales orders, invoices and purchase orders immediately after saving them or when editing them. By using the new Edit Sequence command when printing, users have the flexibility to edit the line sequence of sales orders, purchase orders and invoice line items for improved presentation to clients.
ACCPAC Pro Series 7.2 also features several new capabilities for attaching files to customer, inventory and other information entries. For example, users can now hyperlink attachments, enabling them to attach spreadsheets, correspondence and other documents to customer files. Picture files can now be added to inventory items. In addition, the ACCPAC Pro Series Message Center has been enhanced to enable bulk message delivery, including file attachments.
Extended End-to-End Integration
ACCPAC Pro Series 7.2 accounting and manufacturing modules are a foundation for a broad selection of other integrated, end-to-end business management applications from ACCPAC including: ACCPAC CRM(tm), ACCPAC HR Series(tm), ACCPAC eTransact® (e-commerce), ACCPAC Comprehensive Financial Optimizer(tm) (business analysis), ACCPAC Exchange(tm) (Internet-based EDI transaction processing), ACCPAC FAXserve(tm) and ACCPAC Warehouse Management System(tm).
