Dear Valued Customer,

We are excited and proud to introduce to you our newest version AdvancPro Version 7.0.

During the past year we have listen to you and taken your needs into account and invested unlimited resources and energy to come with cutting edge new features and many other enhancements. We would like to thank all of you who helped us by challenging us, giving us ideas and beta testing.

The new version 7.0 brings with it many new and exciting features that will surely add enormous value to your current systems:

AdvancePro/QuickBooks New Features

  • QuickBooks Auto Export – Schedule QB auto export to occur automatically and on a timely basis. No more manual synchronizing with the QB file. Set the export interval and the export will take place automatically.
    • This feature is located at QB > Settings > Auto Export
       
  • QuickBooks Export Report – The comprehensive export report has a new look and also allows you to rectify export issues from within the report itself. For example, if an item fails to export to QB, you will be able to mark that item for re-export from within the report itself.
     
  • QuickBooks Inventory Adjustments – Control how you want your inventory adjustments to be exported to QB.
    • Enable this setting in ADMIN > Site Settings form
      • Compare inventory levels - AdvancePro will compare QB inventory and AdvancePro inventory, and then make QB inventory identical to what is in AdvancePro. These adjustments will only happen after pending invoices and bills are exported.
      • AdvancePro will export every manual inventory adjustment to QB regardless of whether there are pending invoices or bills in AP and regardless of whether the inventory in QB is identical to that in AP or not.
         
  • QuickBooks Sales Taxes - Sales Taxes now can be modified and then exported to QuickBooks. Previously we only allowed new taxes to be added using the QB Export, but now tax values can be modified or tax names can be edited and then exported. This feature works in the QB US version. Taxes cannot be added or modified for QB Canadian versions.
     
  • Vendor Quote – This new Vendor Quote now allows you to create a quote for one or multiple vendors. Easily convert a quote into an order with a click of a button. You can email, print or export this quote too.

    • This feature can be accessed from the Products > Manage Inventory form
    • The multiple warehouse feature must be enabled for this feature to work
       
  • Global Pricing for UOM – Now you can easily setup pricing exceptions for products with UOM using the Global Pricing feature. This easy to use tool eliminates multiple steps and allows you to create pricing exceptions by product categories and customer groups.
    • Set the % surcharge within each UOM. This surcharge is applicable to all customers
    • Then assign the Product to a category and select the customer groups
    • If each customer group gets its own pricing exception for that UOM, follow the steps below:
      • Assign customers to a group
      • Enter a Pricing % surcharge for that group from Customers > Customer Groups
      • When you associate the group with the UOM product category, the customer group surcharge will add to the UOM surcharge and then apply to the customer group
