Changes and New Features in Tax Services
28 Sage Accpac ERP Extended Enterprise Edition
Upgrading from Version 5.3
If you are updating from version 5.3 to version 5.6, you may not be able
to import invoices that you exported in version 5.3 because we added new
fields to invoice entry tables (APIBC, APIBH, APIBD) in version 5.4.
You must update account information in ICT Options whenever you
change G/L account information in a company, and whenever you add a
new company.
ICT Routes do not let you duplicate a company in the levels (up to 50
levels).
Note the following changes that affect A/P Invoice Entry:
• A distribution code field lets you use a distribution code from the
destination company, instead of having to remember G/L accounts.
• If the vendor record specifies distribution by distribution set, the
distribution set appears automatically for new invoices. When you click
the Create Dist. button, the program searches for a matching
distribution set in the ICT company (not in the originating company),
and uses it to create detail lines.
• A/P Invoice Entry now features a Quick Entry mode.
Batches created in version 5.6 print vendor names in the A/P Batch Listing
report.
Batches posted in version 5.6 print the remit-to-location description in the
A/P Posting Journal report.
