Extender Workflow is here!
 

With the release of Extender Workflow for Sage 300, scheduled for later today, our most versatile module has just gained a whole new dimension!

Workflows can be started manually, or automatically triggered from within Sage 300. They can be controlled using the Workflow Console, or by icons on Sage 300 screens. To illustrate and demonstrate different workflow capabilities we’ve developed a number of sample Workflow Templates, as well as 6 detailed Workflow Tutorials.

To find out more:


Read our "Introducing Extender Workflow" news article for a fuller product description.

This article includes overviews of the 6 Workflow Tutorials. These will also give you an idea of the sorts of business processes that can be automated using Workflow.

  • Process Scheduler: A new Level 2 action has been added - PO Day End.
  • EFT (Payroll): Payslips can now be emailed or printed from the same print run, based on the employee’s delivery method.
 
 
 

"2DB, or not 2DB? That is the question..."

Is it best to configure multiple entities within a single Sage 300 database, or split them into multiple databases? Inter Entity Transactions can handle both, but the answer to that question is seldom black and white. Steve shares his thoughts on the case for and against in this recent article.

 
 
 

A DataQuest client was going through a rapid, acquisition-led, growth phase. They soon found themselves spending a full day each month processing and balancing complex inter-company transactions.

Read our latest Case Study to find out how Inter Entity Transactions got the big tick from their client, helping set them on a path to sustainable growth.
