Infoplex unveils new Multi-Currency and price lists capability for TAS customers

Infoplex's MultiTAS software has become even more advantageous for TAS users with the addition of a new price lists and a multi-currency pricing capability for sales order processing.

At the moment, TAS allows customers to maintain four fixed prices and three quantity break prices per item for sale, with all of these being in the customer's base currency, which is used throughout sales order and invoice processing. Although this is sufficient for many businesses, for others who need to make use of unlimited price lists, customer specific price lists, special offer prices and foreign currency price lists or who need to issue quotations, orders and invoices in multiple currencies, these functions are not available.

In light of that, Infoplex is launching a new Price Lists feature and an optional Sell-It (multi-currency) feature, for its MultiTAS Sales Order and its OrderBooks product ranges this month.

Customers will be able to create as many price lists as they require, in addition to those available from TAS. These can be general or customer specific, can include special offers and, if the Sell-It option is chosen, can also be in any of the 150+ foreign currencies in TAS.

The price lists can be viewed in a grid for ease of use and can be assigned a user-friendly code for ease of reference. With the Sell-It option the currency of choice can also be selected. Price lists can also be designated for particular customers, be VAT exclusive or inclusive and be discontinued. There is a convenient single click export to Excel button too.

For entering sales orders, a user friendly order form lets customers select the particular price list that they want to use and, if the order is in foreign currency (Sell-It option required), the current TAS exchange rate is used, but it can be adjusted to suit.

The document processing aspect of MultiTAS and OrderBooks which uses industry standard Crystal Reports lets customers print quotations, proformas, delivery notes, invoices etc, complete with weights and item counts and also allows foreign currency to be handled via the Sell-It option.

Mark Ramsay, Managing Director, Infoplex said: "There are quite a number of TAS customers who get frustrated with the price list restrictions and the lack of true foreign currency capability on the sales side. Often, they feel the need to find an alternative accounting solution with all the extra cost and hassle that this involves. Now they can stick with the accounting system they know and love at minimal expense."

MultiTAS is a suite of modestly priced software that enhances TASBooks to the level of other packages costing thousands more. MultiTAS incorporates a range of tools that help businesses handle their sales, financial ledger and stock control in a much more effective and streamlined way - able to quickly perform tasks that were previously time-consuming and complex. OrderBooks merges Microsoft Outlook, CRM and TAS BOOKS into one powerful enterprise-wide information system at a fraction of the cost and complexity associated with large-scale ERP software - giving big business advantages to smaller firms.

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.
