Sage 50 Accounts 2012 - What's New

The 2012 release of Sage 50 Accounts includes lots of great new features and enhancements on the previous versions. Users can now access information on the go with Sage 50 Mobile, while reporting and performance has been vastly improved. Below is a list of the key features of the new 2012 version:

Performance

Significant investment has been made to improve the performance of Sage 50 Accounts 2012. This will deliver an improved general performance, including network performance and speed of data transfer between server and client which will:

• Reduce the waiting time for concurrent users saving or interrogating transactions/records
• Improve the time it takes to perform a Swap, Search or Sort on lists of records/transactions
• Improve the time it takes to open a Record Activity or run an Activity Report
• Improve the time it takes to run reports and layouts
• Improve performance within the quotes and fund ledgers

Mobile Access with Sage 50 Mobile

Sage 50 Accounts 2012 provides the ability to gain read and write access to Sage 50 Accounts data via a mobile smartphone or internet connected device. Sage 50 Mobile gives simple and fast access to an overview of business financial performance including customers, suppliers and overall financial position. Sage 50 Mobile offers secure access to live data and also allows the ability to administer different levels of access to different users.

Lock Date

Sage 50 Accounts 2012 has the ability to set a ‘Lock Date’, which will restrict users from posting to a date that has been deemed as ‘locked’. As this is typically around Month and Year End, this functionality is also linked to the Month End and Year End routines. The benefit of this is that users will not be able to post transactions into periods where the month end has been run and accounts produced.

Chart of Accounts

Sage 50 Accounts 2012 contains a refreshed list of nominal codes and provides the ability to setup as different business types (e.g. limited company and partnership, not just a sole trader). It also shows profit before and after tax in the profit and loss and makes editing the Chart of Accounts easier by providing a preview pane.

International Payments

Sage 50 Accounts 2012 provides a service that allows customers to make international payments. Sage International Payments is a new multiple currency payment service that can help you save time and money. Delivered in conjunction with Transfermate, Sage International Payments offers you better exchange rates than the bank, no transfer fees and faster payments compared to any bank or foreign exchange company in the UK.
