New Quantum-Only Features:

  1. Job Navigation Center
    The familiar layout of the Job Navigation Center allows you to quickly and easily access information and tasks related to jobs. You can easily view job statuses in the Job List and you can view extensive information about any job on the Job Management tab. The Sage Peachtree Jobs Navigation Center has two tabs that display information and access points related to your company's jobs.
    • The Jobs tab includes a summary of job information and access to recently used job reports. In addition, the Navigation Center shows the flow of tasks that you can use to record job information and takes you where you need to go to perform those tasks.
    • On the Job Management tab, you can see lists of information regarding
    transactions and history for a particular job, including purchases, invoices, and receipts. Use this tab to quickly view information about a particular job.

    Job Tab Functionality Specifics:
    • Jobs Tasks – Maintenance options give quick access to Jobs, Phases, Cost Codes and the new Change Orders
    • Task flow area - shows you the various areas of Sage Peachtree where you can apply jobs. Applying jobs to the associated transactions allows you to keep track of income and expenses for your jobs. You will typically assign jobs to line items on transactions by selecting the job in the Job field.
    • Jobs list - lists all jobs entered through Maintain Jobs and gives quick access to more detailed information using the View Detailed List link
    • Recently Used Job Reports - this section lists the five most recently opened reports relating to Sage Peachtree jobs. If this is a new company and you are accessing the Jobs Navigation Center before opening any job reports, selected default reports will be listed. At the bottom of the section, there is View All Job Reports link; click this to go to the Sage Peachtree Select a Report window with the list of Job reports preselected.
  2. Job Management Center
    The new Job Management Center is a Job-centric dashboard that allows each Sage Peachtree user to see in one place all the information that is important to them when dealing with a Job. Each Sage Peachtree user can customize the dashboard to see the information that is important to them. Use the new Job Management Center to quickly find Jobs based on their id. You can select them from the dropdown list or pick one you’ve already viewed using the Recent Selections link. You can select the Job at the Job level, Job and Phase level or Job, Phase and Cost Code level.
    Once you have the Job and data up, it’s easy to not only view it but to use it (drilldown for more details); print it to excel or PDF; launch an email for the Job; and run a report or create a transaction.

    Functionality Specifics:
    Find Jobs with easy search capability
    • Drill down on data
    • Export to Excel, send to printer, and email most sections

  3. Change Order
    Change Order processing allows for tracking, list view/reporting, printing using the new Change Order Form for approval, and updating estimated revenues and expenses with approved changes. You will eliminate manual change order tracking processes and keep all your information in one place. Tracking features include noting when the change order is approved, when applied to transactions, changes to projected end date, and maintaining all notes applicable to the change order. You will have better insight into the impact of change orders on your jobs’ revenues and expenses (down to phase and cost codes).

    Enter the change order details and change amounts on the change order window. When the change order is approved, you can return to the change order and mark it as approved. If the change order is approved, you can update the estimates for the job.

    This updates the estimates on the job record for the change amounts in the change order. This will also update the projected end date if Change in schedule is checked on the change order.

Ultimate Speed and Performance:

  • Access nearly all reports in less than a second.
  • Up to 50% faster performance of look-up lists for customers, jobs, vendors and accounts on transaction screens such as invoices and purchase orders.
  • Experience up to 90% faster save times, providing multi-user work efficiency and allowing up to twice as much work to be completed. Save times are faster in most-used areas such as invoices, quotes, sales orders, receipts, purchase orders, payments and more!
  • Because Peachtree Quantum has been designed to handle more transactions with more users, even greater performance improvements should be experienced in these environments.
  • And for those upgrading from older Peachtree versions should experience even greater performance gains when moving to Peachtree Quantum 2011.
