Improved Work Flow And Search With Sage 100 ERP Version 2013 Visual Process Flows And GetX Search

By Paul Ziliak

Are you as aware of your processes as Jennifer Lawrence?

For those you you familiar with Sage ERP X3, you’ll recognize the Visual Process Flows added to Sage 100 ERP Version 2013.  Visual Process Flows are a pre-defined set of diagrams and work flows guiding the user from one system ERP task to the next.  They can be modified or you can add news ones as well.  In X3 training we learned that the Visual Process Flows are very useful particularly for new users.  (With X3 this makes a lot of sense because there are a lot of new users.)  With Sage 100 ERP version 2013 we now have a handful of new processes pre-defined as Visual Process Flows and I do think it they be useful in reducing some training costs for new users.  You should note that Visual Process Flows don’t really seem to save that much time for existing users when processing a new order. The jury is still out for how likely existing users are to adapt Visual Process Flows.

For that we recommend GetX Search for Sage 100 ERP by xkzero.  GetX takes a data first approach to Sage 100 ERP and the results a three dimensional:

1. You can more quickly start a new Sales Order or Purchase Order by entering in anything fairly unique about that Customer or Vendor and then click ‘New Order’.  The result is reduced time processing orders, and happier customers because of it.
2. You can find things in your system that otherwise might take forever, or you may never find at all.  In other words, GetX can save your back side.
3. And also makes training new users easier.

When you are planning your upgrade for Sage 100 ERP version 2013 we hope you will consider downloading your free 30 day evaluation copy of GetX.  The trial is fully functional and it adds no real time to the upgrade so the risk for everyone is zero.  Any Sage 100 ERP reseller can get a one year license copy for free just by downloading, installing and registering GetX.  If you feel really ambitious then please watch this 4 minute 45 second YouTube video to learn everything you need to know about installing, configuring and benefiting from GetX.
