From major inventory changes to many subtle changes, this was a very good set of improvements, and 7.2 has been very stable for clients who have not yet updated to Sage BusinessVision 2009 / 7.3.

The features that clients have reported as being among their favourites in 7.2 are these:

Most Appreciated New Features - Sage BusinessVision 7.2

  • Inventory: Multiple Units of Measure - this is a huge one for certain industries. You can purchase, stock and sell in different units of measure, with all the conversions happening based on whatever formula you tell it to use. For example, buy in a Case of 1000, stock in boxes of 100, and sell either in boxes of 100 or individually (each)
  • Inventory: Non-physical inventory - Not to be confused with non-stock, non-physical items are those that you don't track in your inventory but need to sell in a consistent fashion, such as supplies, services, labour or overhead. This allows you to use these items on Purchase Orders or Sales Orders but not have to worry about keeping them "in stock"
  • Inventory: Multiple UPC codes - each item can have multiple UPC codes - including different ones for a Case of something versus a single piece
  • Order Entry - adds and stores the Required date
  • GL - Journal Entries - begin entering a journal entry (J/E), then print what you've entered so far, so you can review it easily before posting
  • GL - Unlimited GL history is retained for reporting purposes. You can still enter transactions in the 3 open fiscal years, but now can retain all GL history and run reports on it at any time
  • GL - you can now import a Chart of Accounts, as well as journal entries
