Why, When, and How to Get the Most from Sage 50cloud Technical Support, Professional Consulting, and Authorized Reseller Training     

Managing your business is challenging. You’ve got a lot of moving parts and you’re responsible for making sure they all move in the right direction at the right times. And of course, your staff in the accounting and operations departments are the engines that keep everything in motion (or stalled).

Have you ever been in the midst of a problem and caught yourself thinking how useful it would be – in that moment – to have a go-to expert who could help you efficiently and successfully navigate your way to the ideal solution?

Hold that thought! That’s exactly what a professional consultant, advisor, trainer, or technical support person does for you. And, as valuable as they can be for your business during a problem, they are twice as beneficial when you’re not operating in crisis mode.

When you reach out for the attention of a professional, dedicated consultant, advisor, or trainer – before you’re having a problem – you’re in a sense getting an expert who not only understands the specific financial, technical, or operational aspects of your business,  such as a software issue, but also brings their business-specific expertise and insight into the discussion, the action plan, and the solution.

Now let’s take a look at why, when, and how the support provided by a professional consultant and engaged Reseller can help you get the most from your Sage 50cloud.

You’ve made the wise choice to upgrade to Sage 50cloud. You did your diligence and it was quickly clear that this was an investment with an attractive, quick, and ongoing return.

Right from the start you experienced the time and cost savings Sage 50cloud is known for and you’re a happy Sage 50cloud user. But, keep in mind that you might be leaving a lot more efficiencies on the table.  And not even realize it.

“In general, people who access training are happier with their software and need less on-going support.”    – Peter Lundberg; Sage 50cloud Certified Trainer; Senior Consultant; Accounting Business Solutions by JCS

This leads us to the Why and the When and the How.

The Value of Sage 50cloud Technical Support, Consulting and Reseller Training before you think you need it.    

As many accounting professionals will attest, it’s quite natural to reach an initial comfort zone with new accounting software and then stay at that level – especially when you’re so pleased with how much you’ve increased your productivity and functionality.

But this is actually when you can benefit the most from professional support, consulting, and the personalized attention of a Certified Reseller for Training.  This is when you will recognize the value of the services designed to help you use the system specifically to fit how your business operates.

And this is how you become instinctively familiar with all of Sage 50coud’s robust features so that you’ll fully realize its benefits, its return on your investment, and its impact on your growth and profitability.

While Accounting Business Solutions by JCS will always be available to assist you and constructively resolve any issues or challenges you’re facing, we encourage you to reach out before you’re struggling or having a problem. By taking a proactive approach to getting to know Sage 50cloud, you’ll realize more of its benefits more quickly with far less disruptive trials and errors.

Create Purchase Orders from Work Tickets in Sage 50

How do you autofill or auto create Purchase Orders from work tickets in Sage 50? 

Sage 50 allows you to set up Inventory Item Defaults to auto create purchase orders in Sage 50 behind the scenes. The Ordering tab of this window has options that let you enable the auto-creation of POs for:

  1. drop-ship transactions
  2. non-drop-ship transactions
  3. work tickets

Important:For auto-creation of purchase orders to work, your company must be using the real-time posting method.

You can treat each auto-created purchase order just as you would a manually created one. You can edit the purchase order, print it, or e-mail it to a vendor in the Purchase Orders window.

Note: Even if your company is set up for auto-creation of purchase orders, Sage 50 will not automatically create POs for recurring customer invoices. Instead, you will have to manually generate POs for any inventory that you need to reorder as a result of recurring invoices.

To auto create purchase orders from work tickets in Sage 50, the following criteria must be met:

  • Each item must be set up in Maintain Inventory Items with a preferred vendor.
  • The user who is entering the transactions listed below must have access rights to add Purchase Orders.
  • The quantity ordered of one or more of the items must cause the quantity available as of the transaction date to fall below minimum stock levels.

If these conditions are met and your company is set up to auto create purchase orders in Sage 50. Sage 50 will automatically create a purchase order each time a work ticket is saved. In addition, to ensure that auto-creation works most effectively, each item in Maintain Inventory Items should be set up with a minimum stock level and minimum reorder quantity. Sage 50 will auto-create purchase orders from Work Tickets for inventory items that fall into the following item classes only

  • stock
  • substock
  • serialized stock.

Units of Measure (U/M) in Sage 50

How do you use units of measure in Sage 50? What are units of measure in Sage 50 used for?

The Maintain Units/Measures window allows you to set up new units/measures (U/M), other than the Stocking U/M, for purchasing or selling inventory items. In this window, you can set up new units/measures, change the ID for, and delete existing units/measures.

Note: You can access this window only if you have selected the option to Enable Multi-Packs and buying and selling items in different units/measures in the Inventory Item Defaults window.

If you purchase or sell items in bulk or in multi-pack units, create new units/measures to accommodate bulk sales or purchases. This saves you time because you won’t have to enter a new item for each unit/measure of an item that you buy or sell. By creating a new unit/measure based on the stocking unit, you can purchase and sell the multi-pack unit and the single units contained in the multi-pack.

You can set up as many units/measures as you need, but you can only assign two U/Ms to an inventory item: one for sales and one for purchases.

Item Multi-Packs in Sage 50

How do you use item multi-packs in Sage 50? What are item multi-packs in Sage 50 used for?

The Item Multi-Packs window allows you to assign additional units/measures to an inventory item, thereby creating a multi-pack. You can access this window by selecting the U/M button, which is located next to the Stocking U/M field in the Maintain Inventory Items window. In the Item Multi-Packs window, you can do the following:

  • change the Stocking U/M
  • allow items to be purchased or sold in a unit/measure other than the Stocking U/M, or multi-pack
  • assign a U/M, weight, and UPC/SCC code for multi-packs that you purchase
  • assign a U/M, weight, and UPC/SCC code for multi-packs that you sell

You can assign two units/measures in addition to the Stocking U/M to an inventory item: one for purchases and one for sales. When you purchase or sell items in units/measures that you have set up in Maintain Units/Measures, the subsequent item, when purchased or sold, is referred to as a multi-pack. Multi-Packs in Sage 50 are simply any inventory item that has been assigned a unit/measure other than the Stocking U/M. The resulting item, usually a box or a pack, contains more than one stocking unit of the inventory item.

Because you can only assign two units/measures to an inventory item, you should select the unit/measure in which you usually purchase or sell the item. For example if you buy in bulk but sell in single units, select the bulk unit in this window. After you have assigned purchasing and sales units/measures to an inventory item, you will be able to select the U/M for line items on the following windows: Quotes, Sales Orders, Sales/Invoicing, Receipts, Credit Memos, Select For Purchase Orders, Purchase Orders, Purchase/Receive Inventory, and Payments.
