1 Comment

Acumatica’s ERP Mobile App is being updated in version 5.3 and this will add smartphone functionality for sales, purchasing and warehouse operations.

The app’s new features means it can be used throughout your business as a mobile crm app, mobile sales app and a mobile warehouse and distribution app.

Mobile Purchase Requisitions and Approvals

You can authorise users to select from your entire product list, limit requests to specific items, or require users to enter descriptions.

Using workflow Acumatica sends this to the appropriate user. Once a requisition order has been approved, Acumatica automatically creates a purchase order that can be tracked. From there you can created a Sales Order to send to the client.

 

A Complete ERP Mobile App

Not only can you get all of this out of the box functionality from one small app, but there is also the opportunity to customise – you can expose additional screens by editing the mobile site map configuration file. You can choose which fields are available and which are hidden etc. Acumatica still preserves the security settings setup in the main site, so if a user doesn’t have access to ‘edit customer name’, this will be visible but greyed out in the mobile app.

Great news for those who already use the app, but also for those who want to utilise the existing smartphones their staff already have. The Acumatica ERP Mobile App enables you and your team to do more in less time, increasing efficiency and involvement in business processes. You can even leverage the unique capabilities of your mobile device such as the camera or fingerprint reader.

What’s more, the ERP mobile app is available at no cost to Acumatica customers. For further information about Acumatica and how you can utilise the use of smart phones and devices in your business please contact us.
