Software and App Developers are cranking out lots of new features, functions, updates and supplements this month. I have tried to give you a few of the highlights I have become aware of while on Family Medical Leave.
MISys Manufacturing
With their most recent update to MISys Manufacturing, the company has added more than a dozen new features, created additional dashboard alerts, and added more than 35 enhancements and fixes to enhance their software designed for bringing sophisticated manufacturing functionality to software like QuickBooks (Desktop and Online) and Sage (50, 300). One of their biggest new features is their new accounting integration to support QuickBooks Online 'Canadian version'... now Canadian users of QuickBooks Online can enhance their manufacturing control and management with MISys.
Another features that has been 'asked for' by MISys users for some time and incorporated in this new release is 'Roaming Profiles' that gives MISys users the ability to store user configuration settings for multiple users on a single computer. This means those computers are no longer user-specific, and users are not limited to accessing their MISys profile from a single computer. Under this new release, the configuration settings for an individual user will 'roam with the user', so that they can log-in to MISys from any computer where MISys is available, when they do their unique profile will load based on their log-in.
This newest release of MISys adds the ability to perform Sales Transfers from MISys to any of the supported versions of QuickBooks or Sage accounting products. They also added “Copy” ability from their main grids (both the row and individual cells within the row) allowing users to take information directly to another spreadsheet or grid. And when dealing with import files without all the potential fields, you can now set all of the missing fields to the default with a single button press (no longer requiring you to set each one individually), saving you a tremendous amount of time.
These are just a few highlights of the dozens of new features and functions awaiting users of MISys. If you want more information you can check out the full list of new features here. Or head over to the MISys Manufacturing website for more information about the product and its offerings.
ApprovalMax
ApprovalMax has made reports even more actionable and convenient. It's now possible to generate reports with line item details and schedule their generation and deliver to selected email addresses. The new Line-item reports allow you to look deeper into your accounts payable and accounts receivable to understand what your expenses are exactly going for. With this new functionality you can create reports with more precise points of view than the standard ApprovalMax reports.
Instead of generating reports manually every time you need one, you can schedule the creation and specify who you want to receive such report – everybody will find it in their inbox right on time. Depending on your needs, scheduled reports can be delivered to anyone in or outside of your ApprovalMax organization.
For more details about these reporting enhancements, or ApprovalMax, visit the company's website.
