It keeps everyone informed in real time of all the details in your sales and purchase processes, so that anyone with the approved access can instantly know where your order is, when it’s due, who’s handling it or what’s the problem with it. Now you can customize triggers, steps and statuses that are crucial to your company.
This is a dynamic feature that lets you or another user know when a transaction has moved along in the process. You now have the ability to set this function for exactly the status changes you want, such as telling your shipping clerk that a Sales Order has moved from “In Progress” to “Accepted” or letting the Billing Manager know when a Purchase is assigned to a team member. The people who need to know will know – the moment it happens – even if they’re not working in Peachtree at the time.
This is essentially a homepage for all Peachtree information that is vital to your company. You now have the ability to customize it not only for your company, but also for each individual user. My Dashboard can have as much information as you need and as many tabs as you want, all organized for the way you work.
More users mean more security concerns. Peachtree Quantum helps ensure security of your sensitive data, and let’s you control which user have access to which data and features.
Save time by viewing the details you need all-in-one-place to better manage and service your customers without missing a beat. Quickly search for customers by any of their contact information and export data into Excel® or PDF.
Save time by easily and quickly viewing all history related to a particular customer or vendor transaction at any point in the sales or purchase process – from quote to receipt or from payment to purchase order.
Multiple Contacts per Business
Store a virtually unlimited number of contacts, and their details, per company in the new “Contacts” tab. Plus a new Notes field allows you to track unique information about each contact.
Reduce your inventory holding costs, avoid painful purchasing mistakes, and prevent costly production delays with all the functionality a manufacturing firm needs: inventory control, WIP tracking, multi-level bills of material, BOM revision control, and production work orders.
Additional modules are available to extend capabilities in Advanced Purchasing, Advanced Production, and Material Requirements Planning.

With widespread job cuts and a recession to deal with, it’s not easy to maintain a positive outlook at work these days. But being upbeat, despite the stress, could actually help you thrive during a downturn.
“Most people make the mistake of thinking that success leads to happiness. In fact, our brains work precisely the other way around,” says Shawn Achor, head of Aspirant, a consulting firm that advises clients like Microsoft (MSFT, Fortune 500), American Express (AXP, Fortune 500), Credit Suisse (CS), and UBS (UBS) on how to keep morale and productivity up in these extraordinarily difficult times.
A positive approach to the daily grind, he adds, “gives rise to resilience, energy, and the ability to influence other people — all things that create success.” Having an great accounting team helps as well. Use a good quality accounting program like Peachtree Quantum by sage.
So if you want to come through this downturn with flying colors — and maybe even a promotion or a raise — you need to think positive.

We all know the importance of a well-written employee handbook: it helps to define company expectations regarding performance and conduct; it serves as a means of formalizing company rules so all employees are held to the same standards; and it provides general information about the
organization as well as the benefits and services the company has to offer. There are a multitude of reasons for creating an employee
handbook. But, if developed and implemented incorrectly, it can do more harm than good. Peachtree by sage software will help you with keeping up with your employee records
Below are 10 of the most widespread employee handbook mistakes and what you can do to avoid falling into the “trap”:
1. Failure to clearly publicize an at-will disclaimer. Employment at-will disclaimers make it clear that you do not intend to have the handbook construed as a “contract”

If your business grows too fast, it could hurt in the long run

Its alwasy great to get a good business going, and watch it grow. Letting the business grow slowly is the best. You can always watch the new customers come, and let them spread the word, and more new customers come back again. If you grow too fast, then you’ll make the money YES, but you may begin to loose some of the most important concepts, like customer service and accounting aspects.
When Walmart and Best Buy came out of no where, they started small. It was a very wise business decision that they did. Best Buy originated in MN, after a storm damaged alot of the appliances, tv’s and etc… He had a BEST BUY sign, and since it was such a great hit. The owner decided to call the business “BEST BUY” They started small and because of their prices, options, and customer service, it has been a great business.
The small MOM and POP stores, have done well, but grew to fast, and failed. Its always good to have a great business plan though. Its good to make sure you have a good accounting program to help your business out. Peachtree Quantum by sage is a great choice to use.

- Access to HR resources from HR411
I’ve been employed as an office assistant at a large metropolitan law firm for many years. I handle both payroll and billing in addition to reception duties. Through force of habit, I became accustomed to the conventions of QuickBooks software – it was just what the office had always used. When my boss announced that we would be updating our system to use Peachtree, I was worried. How long was it going to take me to get all of the accounts back up to speed?
To my surprise, it’s simple to transfer QuickBooks data files over to a Peachtree accounting program. In fact, the latter program comes complete with a tutorial that updates your system step by step. I had my new accounting system up and running in a matter of minutes, and I’ve been pleased with the comparatively user-friendly interface.
