Acumatica 2021 R2 Release Notes
Traceability
Some industries require traceability for manufactured products. This is vital to the pharmaceutical and process industries, for example. Both need to ensure product consistency and quality. Acumatica now enables traceability of raw materials and components to pre-assigned lots or serialized finished goods. This enables better quality control and traceability for potential recalls or additional release notes, as needed.
Production Schedule Visibility
In Acumatica 2021 R2, the production schedule interface has gone through an update, too. The new interface enables users to visualize production schedules in a timeline view. For some, this makes it easier to review resources and identify which are under- or over-utilized. You can also see material constraints and customer commitments. Both make it easier for companies to identify anything requiring immediate attention.
Currency Conversion
Companies that conduct international business often find that currency conversion requires extra steps. Now Acumatica makes it easier with conversion available for real-time reporting.
Enhanced Integration Capabilities
Are you using Microsoft Teams? This popular productivity suite now integrates with Acumatica for a comprehensive and streamlined interface. Now you can switch between Teams and Acumatica without a hitch. Companies can now use both easily and quickly for enhanced productivity.
Procore for Construction
If your company works in the construction or field service industry, check out the new Procore integration with Acumatica. This integration enables the synchronization of accounts payables and subcontract invoices. It eliminates the need to input this data twice, which saves a great deal of time.
SendGrid
SendGrid is an email communication system often used to send updates and newsletters to customers. Acumatica now integrates with SendGrid. The data from your SendGrid system flows into Acumatica and enables you to track email metrics such as open rate, bounce rate, and more through Acumatica.
Enhanced AP/AR Functions
New functions in R2 include managing AR refunds with open balances. Reconciliation has also been simplified by matching bank transactions to disbursements and multiple receipts. Updated reporting capabilities for both AP and AR and new payroll choices are also available.
Configure Service Contract Billing
Acumatica 2021 R2 now enables users to configure service contract billing for the start of each period. This update enables streamlined billing as well as improves flexibility. Projects can also be reclassified to correct data entry errors. This change reduces the number of clicks needed when adding inventory or tracking time. It’s especially helpful on mobile devices.
Better Personalization
One of the features that customers appreciate in Acumatica is the ability to personalize their system interface. Acumatica 2021 R2 now includes a consolidated toolbar, sorting abilities for dashboard tables, the ability to create tasks for business events, and the ability to predefine and automate administration tasks. These incremental improvements add up to big-time savings for many loyal users.
Acumatica continues to update, improve, and enhance its software based on user feedback, earning the regard of many. View the entire 2021 R2 preview here.
