Create Your Own Custom Drilldowns
Use the new sample drilldown scripts to create your own. When you want access to a specific screen or a specific report simply copy the script code from the existing menu definitions. You can even create a user-defined template if you want to drill down to a data view.

Expanded Drilldowns in Reports
We've greatly expanded drilldown capabilities in Sage Pro 7.5. Drilldown options are now available from more reports, giving you access to Invoices, Purchase Orders, and Sales Orders (access to Customers, Vendors, and Items was available previously in Sage Pro).

Added Customer and Vendor Maintenance Access in Expanded Dashboard
You can now remotely manage your customers and vendors. Perform any of the newly available customer- or vendor-related inquiries, such as Payments, Receivables, Invoices, and Orders.

Work in Process Components Released to General Ledger
A new option in Work Orders allows you to issue on-hand components to the Work in Process account associated with each work order, giving you even more accurate on-hand component inventory.

Numerous Manufacturing Enhancements
The Production Entry, Work Orders, and Shop Control modules have all been enhanced. For example, right-click functionality in the tree-view display gives you options to add, delete, edit, or renumber components and finished goods.

Bill of Materials (BOM) Inquiry Displays Estimated Cost
The inquiry function in the BOM maintenance allows you to view the work orders associated with the bill of materials. Reports can be generated showing the estimated cost of a finished good item along with the cost and extended cost information of its components.

Work Order Screens Now Easier to Use
You can now open multiple manufacturing processing screens simultaneously, which makes the maintenance of Work Centers much easier.

Expansion in Work Order Route Maintenance
The Route Maintenance screen now includes a user-friendly tree view display, together with the option to switch between Routes, Operations, or Finished Good.

Added Work Order Wizard Functionality
Wizard functionality can now be used in the Work Order completion process.

Separate Plan Order Numbers in Shop Control
A separate plan order numbering sequence enables exclusive work order numbers that are no longer shared with the plan orders.

Assign Resources in Operation Maintenance
Assign specific resource instances, such as usage cost and overhead, to each machine and manpower component on a work order more easily than ever before. Machine and manpower items are set up for operations, and default resource instances are assigned at the same time. When work orders are exploded, the machine and manpower
items are created as component line items along with their default resource settings.

Generate Work Order Enhancements
Work Orders now enables creating multiple work orders in a batch using different generation methods. The “Forecast” method creates work orders for parent parts that are over-allocated. The calculated quantity of the parent part is increased by the value of its order point field.

Job Cost Integration with Manufacturing Modules
Made-to-order manufacturers can now benefit from the integration of Job Cost with the Work Order module. Labor costs, subcontracting costs, and other expenses can be accumulated in Job Cost module while the Work Order module handles the production costs of the finished goods.

Create Master Production Schedules for Work Orders
Manufacturing companies can create master production schedules that determine order precedence along with the date and time of each manufacturing operation. New in Sage Pro 7.5, the drag-and-drop screen lets you set work order precedence prior the creation of a schedule.

Include Landed Cost in Inventory Valuation
In response to numerous requests from Sage Pro customers, version 7.5 now supports landed costs, allowing expenses such as shipping and insurance, associated with imported goods, to be included in the cost of the items after they have been received into inventory.

Improved Program File Security
As part of the ongoing Sage Software commitment to keeping your important financial information safe and Sarbanes-Oxley compliant, you can now restrict access to the Sage Pro Program folders for SQL Server installations.

Support for Sage Payments Solutions Gateway in Credit Card Processing
You now have the option of integrating Sage Pro Credit Card Processing with the Sage Payments Solutions Gateway.
