User rights can now be controlled with much finer precision

Many new fields have been added throughout the system. For example: in each module, new fields include contact details for three additional contacts; separate address, city, and country fields; a website hyperlink; and record creation and modification dates, including last user to modify

At the core of Version 7’s improved user interface and accessibility is the new “multiple tab design”. Within each module, pertinent information is stored within “tabs”,  allowing users to access details without having to move from one module to another.  For example, in the Customer module, view all open sales orders, sales history, AR data, etc.

On most screens, you will see underlined field names, which indicates that you can easily and quickly search on those fields - addresses, phone numbers, postal codes, PO numbers in Order Entry, etc.

New features include a larger Order Entry Grid, supporting up to 999 line items on an order.  Orders can be searched and loaded by purchase order, customer name or number, invoice dates, payment terms, etc.  Editing will be much easier, since it will be more like an Excel grid.  Notepad entries and CustomPack WorkBook fields can be tracked against individual line items as well as the whole order.  Comments can be 500 characters instead of 40.  User rights can be more tightly managed as well

Serialized inventory processing has been simplified, and now includes a reference number, purchase order number, and date field

Special promotional pricing can be maintained for a set period of time, based on a start and end date

A third fiscal year has been added - Last Year, This Year and Next Year,  enabling orders etc. to be posted into Next Year
