2023 R1 – Finance; Additional Updates
With the release of Acumatica 2023 R1, there have been several improvements to different financial management processes, and a few new improvements. See below for an overview of these updates and improvements:
2023 R1 – Delegation and Reassignment of Approvals
Starting with the release of 2023 R1, users of Acumatica have the ability to reassign the request for approvals and have the ability to delegate approvals to other users. This allows companies to run smoothly, even when necessary approvers are out of the office. When original approvers are unable to approve a request, a new approver can be assigned for a temporary amount of time to create an exception to the typical workflow, the existing approval maps do not need to be updated. See below for some examples of how this works.
Acumatica Reporting Function:
Acumatica’s reporting functionality is extremely robust and accesses the raw data in the system. It provides users several tools to create, manage, and distribute reports. Reports can be presented in a number of different ways to help management make informed decisions about their company.
Each Acumatica module has a set of reports built into the system that can be used out of the box. There are over 250 reports standard within Acumatica. Reports are easily modified by end users using Acumatica’s report designer function and users are also able to create templates for reports that are used on a regular basis. Reports in Acumatica can be filtered down and manipulated by account, sub-account, inventory ID, customer ID, and many other filter settings to get information that users need easily.
2022 R2: Tracking Project Progress by Unit
Before the release of Acumatica’s newest version, users of the construction edition did not have the ability to track a project by units used or installed. With the release of 2022 R2, construction edition users will be able to capture project activities on a unit level and track project progress through a new document: a progress worksheet. There have also been changes to the daily field report that affect the tracking of project productivity.
The Use of Acumatica for the Financial Management Team
Acumatica’s cloud based ERP has the ability to give users of all different types access to data whenever they need it. This information is important to access the company’s financial health, report and analyze data, and provide accurate information to users who need it. Financial Leaders in companies need to be able to access this data quickly and efficiently and Acumatica has the tools to do this.
