Dynamics SL CU7 Now Available

Microsoft-Dynamics-SL

Just in time for the Holidays, Microsoft released some news for us. Every time the year is close to an end, we wait for those Year End Updates or anything else they might be releasing. Just last week, Microsoft came out with Dynamics SL CU7. There isn’t too much to unpack, but let’s get into it.

This update focused more on the 1099-NEC Form, as well as the 1099-MISC Form. The 1099-NEC or Non-Employee Compensation has been updated to support the IRS 2021 tax reporting formats. The same goes for the 1099-MISC (03.740.00) Form. The new 1099 Forms can be printed through the 1099 Forms Report.

In addition, some minor fixes have been included in CU7, however, support for Windows 2011 is still not included. If you have any questions about these updates, either fill out the form below or reach out to info@polaris-business.com.

Acumatica vs Dynamics SL: Mobile App

I can remember getting my first cellular phone. I had just gotten a job as a consultant for a Dynamics SL (Solomon at that time) reseller and I was told I needed one so I could be reached by clients. The phone was small and clunky, but I could make phone calls and I soon realized it had another amazing feature – texting! Phones have changed a lot since then, but sadly I still can’t do much more on my phone with SL than I could on my first cell phone.

Who is Acumatica?

Who is Acumatica? A lot of the focus usually goes on what a company like this does or what it can provide. What makes Acumatica different from other companies is that it goes beyond just what services it provides.

Acumatica was founded in 2008 in the city of Bellevue, WA. The company quickly grew and received recognition almost right away. In 2009 on-premises and SaaS software versions were released and then in 2010 distribution software came into play. Shortly after they were beginning to receive awards, and the company that you know today, was getting a name for itself. Acumatica is currently the fastest-growing Cloud ERP Company with offices all over the world in countries like Thailand, South Africa, and the UK.

The founders of Acumatica are Mike Chtchelkinogov and Solomon Software co-founders Serguei Beloussov and John Howell. Jon Roskill, the CEO of the company pushes the company to provide, and to grow. This means for each person in the company, and for each customer of the company.

Some of the recognition Acumatica has received dates back to 2012 when the company was named a Top 100 Global Finalist by Red Herring, and later on also being first in the Top 20 Coolest Cloud Vendors by CRN. Acumatica has been the best software publisher that we have worked with. They go above and beyond to meet needs, exceed expectations, and dive headfirst into the technological advancements in our time. We trust Acumatica and know that they are a company that will continue to succeed.

Acumatica 2021 R2 New Feature Review: Visibility of Project Transactions

Blog 41
With Acumatica 2021 R2 we can now limit the visibility of certain account groups to a group of users. This means we can limit users’ ability to drill down into a labor account group so they can’t see other employees’ hourly rates and wages. Other users may have different rights that would allow them to drill down and see this information.
