Sage BusinessVision 2010 Release Guide

Enhanced Usability

Reconcile accounts more quickly and easily 
Sage BusinessVision 2010 software includes an updated Account Reconciliation module that provides greater flexibility when reconciling accounts, searching transactions, and clearing items. You can also review the cheque details included in the reconciliation process using the new Search by Cheque Number feature, which allows you to easily sort or search for the cheque you want to review.

In addition, the account reconciliation process is more streamlined. Sage BusinessVision 2010 technology automatically populates the opening balance of the current reconciliation process with the ending balance from the reconciliation process completed in the previous month.

Ensure your cheques print correctly every time 
Verify that your cheques have printed successfully at the end of the cheque printing process using the new prompt to reprint cheques feature. Problems printing cheques? No problem for Sage BusinessVision 2010 software. Simply select the cheque that printed incorrectly and your Sage BusinessVision software will do the rest. No more voiding and reissuing cheques.

Never miss an important note 
Don’t miss important information about customers, vendors, items, employees, and other components. Sage BusinessVision software now clearly indicates when components have notes assigned, as well as the number of notes saved for each component.

Access designated pricing quickly 
Quickly and easily find the prices assigned to customers and vendors from one simple search. Sage BusinessVision 2010 technology now includes customer- and vendor-specific prices in the Find utility.

Keep an eye on the state of your data 
Ensure your Sage BusinessVision data is healthy using the new Data Validation utility. Sage BusinessVision 2010 application can scan your database to ensure the integrity of your data and warn you of potential problems.

Experience easier workbook signoffs 
Need to have supervisors sign off on transactions? Sage BusinessVision no longer prints dates in workbook fields by default, making the signoff process more intuitive and tracking employee signoffs even easier.

Stay in balance with general ledger journal suggestions 
Speed up journal entries with general ledger journal suggestions. Sage BusinessVision 2010 software displays the necessary amounts to balance entries on subsequent lines, speeding up data entry and helping to ensure your entries are in balance.

Simplified Business Processes

Easily record a required by date for individual line items 
Gain even more control over when individual items on orders need to ship or when individual items on purchase orders are expected. Sage BusinessVision 2010 technology allows you to record the date required for each item on an order instead of one date for the entire order.

See more information at a glance 
Display the information you need when looking up customers, vendors, products, and other components. Sage BusinessVision 2010 allows you to add even more fields to browse, allowing you to display the information you need to better serve your customers and vendors.

Simplify payroll by classifying CPP exempt employees 
Don’t need to withhold Canada Pension Plan (CPP) from employees? Sage BusinessVision software now includes the tools needed to define employees as CPP exempt, making your payroll process even easier.

Clearly see which invoices have been reprinted 
Sage BusinessVision 2010 technology adds a reprint label to the invoices you reprint for customers, making a clear paper trail for the documents you generate for customers.

Ensure freight costs are covered on partial payments 
When receiving a partial payment on your invoice, do you prefer to charge customers for freight before goods on the invoice? Sage BusinessVision software now provides you with the options needed to ensure freight costs are covered before partial payments are applied to invoice items.

Improved Reporting

Reconcile accounts more easily 
Sage BusinessVision 2010 technology makes reconciling your accounts even easier with the revised Account Reconciliation report. In addition to displaying your cleared and uncleared transactions, you can easily compare your account balance to your general ledger balance on a single report, helping you keep your books in order.

Verify inventory value at a glance 
Balance your inventory against your General Ledger balance easily, for the current date or any previous date using the new Historical Inventory Value Report.

Quickly access the reports you print frequently 
Gain even quicker and easier access to your commonly printed reports using report groups. Sage BusinessVision 2010 technology lets you create report groups and then assign individual reports to your groups, making it easy to locate the reports you commonly print and helping you keep a close eye on the most important aspects of your business.
