New and Improved Features in Peachtree 2012

  1. Copy Transactions (NEW!)
    Quickly create a new transaction based on a previously saved one, allowing you to easily make modifications instead of manually recreating every line item. This feature is available on seven screens: Quotes, Sales Orders, Proposals, Sales Invoicing, Purchase Orders, Purchase Invoices, and General Journal Entries.

  2. Expanded Payroll Fields
    More fields on both the employee and employer/company payroll records allow for recording of additional benefits, deductions and liabilities, and help customers comply with legislative requirements, such as the Health Care Act of 2010. There are now a maximum of 40 fields available for each, up from 30 employee fields and 10 employer/company fields.

  3. Management Center Enhancements
    User-friendly enhancements to how information is viewed and used within the customizable My Dashboard and Management Centers. Includes automatic totaling of columns from transaction lists, changing the number of lines displayed within each module in the customized view, and making it easier to find default and selected items in a scrolled down list when filtering for information.

  4. Sage Advisor (NEW!)
    Sage Advisor helps customers experience the full value of their software investment. Through personalized dashboards, engaging "show me how" videos, on-screen help and other business resources Sage Advisor helps customers learn more about their Sage Peachtree product, discover new ways to simplify their processes, and obtain valuable business advice.

  5. Sage Peachtree Business Intelligence1 (NEW!)
    Sage Peachtree Business Intelligence is a reporting and analysis solution integrated with Sage Peachtree. Using the familiar interface of Excel, it enables more robust, custom reporting and easier access to Sage Peachtree data.

  6. Vendor Management Center (NEW!)
    Gain greater visibility into all the information you need for a specific vendor on one customizable dashboard.

  7. Easier Network Installation (NEW!)
    A more efficient installation option for multi-user versions of Sage Peachtree that allows you to run multiple workstation installs simultaneously while greatly reducing the number of steps required.


  8. New My Dashboard Modules (NEW!)
    Eleven new modules for My Dashboard -- including General Journal Entries, Inventory Adjustments, Payroll, Assemblies, Purchases Received, Top Vendors, and Item Purchase History by Vendor -- push its value beyond the sales team and into the purchasing and operations groups, allowing more people in the organization to work better and faster.

  9. Workflow Automation
    Establish default assignments for all of your Sage Peachtree transaction statuses to ensure that work is routed to the appropriate person at the right time. Easily view and add transaction tracking notes from the Customer Management Center.
