In my version (24) there is a product shortfall icon at the top of the products list. I use it to create a PO for my primary supplier. However I dont know if it will create POs for each suppliers items in one hit as we are not in that situation

Hi Paul,

Give Phil Cox a call at Xapsys +44 (0)7973 148515. We have done this for Sage 200 clients so it might well be a simple fix to run it for Sage 50.

Cheers

Our research showed that the dashboards were actually amongst the least used areas of the application and the decision was taken to remove them.

Sorry to hear you are affected by the removal of the dashboards but one thing I'm not clear on is the suggestion of running a report and manually entering purchase order items. The dashboards were effectively just running reports and provided no capability to auto generate any data. The product dashboard did have a link to launch the shortfall dialog if this is what you are referring to? If so, as mentioned by Ken Starnes the shortfall functionality is also available via a toolbar button in the product list. The shortfall tool bar button and functionality has been in the product list for quite a few versions now and still remains in the v27 release so hopefully it is just a case of simply launching it from there.

Version 28 of Accounts and has introduced an all new, completely rewritten business dashboard. You can see a demo of it here: https://youtu.be/Rj6z9IAkDXk
