Crystal Reports Designer tool for TAS users - easily customisable documents at your fingertips
Infoplex, the most successful third party developer of TAS BOOKS software, has introduced a Crystal Reports Designer tool for TAS users that enables them to easily customise documents and reports.
This innovative tool, the very first of its kind for TAS, is part of Infoplex's MultiTAS solution - a suite of modestly priced software that enhances TAS BOOKS to the level of other packages costing thousands of pounds/euros more.
It is also part of Infoplex's OrderBooks technology which merges Microsoft Outlook, CRM and TAS BOOKS into one powerful enterprise-wide information system at a fraction of the complexity and cost associated with high-end ERP software - giving big business advantages to smaller firms.
Normally, TAS BOOKS uses Microsoft Word to let users customise documents such as quotations and invoices, but this has a number of limitations and can often prove difficult and awkward.
The advanced document processing and reporting capability of MultiTAS and OrderBooks provides a convenient and sophisticated way for companies to handle sales documents, invoice posting, sales analysis, stock reporting or price lists, and means that users can easily customise these documents with a minimum of fuss, and can then issue them via email, effortlessly.
Sales orders can be imported quickly and efficiently from a company website's eCommerce system with MultiTAS, automating the manual keying of data in TAS 611 and quotations, proformas and credit notes can also be imported.
In addition, users can print weights, both for individual items and document totals, as well as counts of the number of items for delivery documents. This means that the total weight of a package can be produced on a delivery note or the total number of items can be placed on a delivery label - all by simply using a Crystal formula.
Users can preview documents before committing them to printer or file (PDF, Excel, Word etc), email or another application. They can also generate customer-specific price lists based on TAS product prices and dynamic discounts with no trouble, using customisable report templates to change the layout, insert a company logo, or even print pictures of products or barcode labels.
Mark Ramsay, Managing Director, Infoplex said: "At last it is much easier for TAS users to customise their stock reporting, price lists and Sales Order Processing documentation, as well as get a preview before committing it to printer or file."
The Crystal Designer tool allows users to maximise the benefits of TAS using industry standard database reporting tool Crystal Reports. This proven globally renowned solution helps users to design, manage and deliver reports from a wide range of data sources, such as the web or that are embedded in other applications.
Infoplex is a specialist developer of software solutions for users of TAS BOOKS accounting software, with over 12 years of experience in this area, and is now branching out further with the pioneering OrderBooks technology.
