Credit Management

Automatically Monitor for Past Due Invoices When Entering Customer Orders

You don't need to run a report to see which customers are late on their accounts. A new option is available in Sage BusinessWorks 2011 that displays a warning message or optionally restricts order entry in Maintain Sales Orders when a customer has one or more past-due invoices, automatically notifying your sales team. You can even prevent orders from being entered for those customers.

Security

User security has increased in Sage BusinessWorks 2011, thanks to a new option in the setup rocess for new users, saving time and reducing the likelihood of a security breach.
