Version 5.0 IS Here!!!
|
|
In 2002 NumberCruncher was the first company to
introduce a true QuickBooks add-on for inventory
and order management.
Since then we have
learned what is most needed in a system for
manufacturers and wholesale distributors. Version 5.0 is the next
step in the evolution of All Orders.
Building on the already solid platform which is
version 4, we have made several functional
enhancements as well as some technical changes,
enhancing the performance of the application.
As always, All Orders
remains tightly integrated with QuickBooks
providing instant synchronization without
importing or exporting with the most user
friendly interface in the industry.
The following is a summary
of the changes we have made and how they will
benefit
your business.

FIFO / Specific Identification Costing
QuickBooks uses the weighted average cost to record cost
of goods sold when items
are sold and value inventory on the balance sheet. In
cases when their are numerous
fluctuations in cost or you want to be able to trace a
certain purchase to a specific
invoice, the weighted average cost may not be
appropriate. That is the reason we
introduced as 'parallel ledger' whereby FIFO or specific
identification can be used
for costing while QuickBooks will continue to use
weighted average cost.
Cycle Counting
In order to adjust inventory users where required to use
the quantity adjustment form which is excellent for ad
hoc adjustments to inventory but not efficient to adjust
many items at the same time. All
Orders 5 introduces the count screen which will help you
manage your cycle counts from start to finish as well as
count sheets and reports.
Capacity Reporting
All Orders 5 will allow you to
group work order steps in 'Production Centers'. Each
production center will have a capacity. As work orders
are entered, if the step
included in the Production Center is used, you can
generate a 'Capacity Report' for
a specified period.
Manufacturer Rep Orders
A manufacturer rep order will allow
you to create an order on behalf of a manufacturer
(vendor) to your customer. Your manufacturer collects
the sale proceeds from your
customer and commissions are calculated and recorded as
a Vendor Return in QuickBooks.
Custom Fields
In All Orders 5 you can add many more custom fields of
different types including: text, amounts, dates,
and yes/no. Users may also define pick lists which
pre-define data to be selected.
Good-bye QuickBooks Remote Data Sharing
In All Orders 5 a user can be 'not connected to
QuickBooks' but can create and modify
items, customer, etc that would otherwise require access
to QuickBooks. The pending
changes are entered in a Queue and are synchronized
during a sync operation.
