Full e-business facilities are available, including B2B, B2C, eBIS XML transactions, web site integration and secure, remote operation (see Dimensions.NET).
This is the definitive back-office solution for enterprises with high transaction volumes, large user numbers and complex operational requirements.
Dimensions 2.41a
Released in August 2004, Dimensions version 2.41a represents a major enhancement to the UK’s leading SQL business and accounting solution. It contains a total of ten major enhancements to existing functionality, including:
Stock Allocation
This feature enables you to ring-fence or ‘reserve out’ specific items of stock at the time a sales order is raised (or subsequently, if required). It can be used to prioritise stock allocation in any way that suits your business, from ensuring that your oldest stock is used first to guaranteeing that orders for your most important customers are shipped first.
Stock Update to Nominal
At your discretion, the system will automatically update your nominal ledger every time an item of stock is bought, sold or moved. Details of all relevant transactions are transferred (in real-time) straight from your purchase and sales ledgers, and your stock module. This data can be used for effortless maintenance of your stock valuation, cost of sales and accruals.
Consolidated Sales Orders
Enables you to enter and deliver any number of sales orders, and then to combine them into a single ‘Head Office’ invoice - without reducing the depth of your own analysis. This is the ideal way to simplify invoicing for customers that place numerous orders over a short period of time. It can also be used in conjunction with the new ‘Trading Groups’ facility, to handle the delivery and invoicing needs of complex organisations. Deliveries can be made to any member of a Trading Group and profitability may be analysed by individual subordinates, by Head Office or by the group as a whole.
360° Views
For maximum visibility, Dimensions transactions can now be explored using 360° views. These work alongside standard enquiry screens, to reveal how the chosen item fits into the flow of your accounting activity. In the case of a purchase order, the 360° view will show you goods received notes, associated stock movements, costing updates and more. And you can jump straight from the 360° screen to view any of the listed items in as much detail as you need. Presenting and layering information in this way brings even greater speed to your enquiries.
Access has always been driven by the real commercial needs of its clients. These enhancements are further evidence of our commitment to delivering the very best in affordable business functionality.
