Not All ERP Processes Need A Process

Navigating an ERP system can be complicated. There may be hundreds of options for you to choose from in order to do your job. Sage did a great favor by adding Visual Process Flows into its ERP systems, but even so, not every task needs a process flow.

For users of Sage 100 ERP, what if you could key in simple data and immediately start working on that data? I’ll give you some examples:

- Enter a phone number and click on ‘New Sales Order’ - Enter part of a street address and click on ‘Print Customer Statement’ - Key in a dollar amount and launch a BI view displaying the posting details - Enter a customer PO # and click on ‘Order Inquiry’

With GetX, a native search and workflow enhancement for Sage 100 ERP you can do these kinds of things and much, much more. All from a browser window that resides right within your Sage 100 ERP system, and follows your system security rules.

In the video below you’ll see the difference between Visual Process Flows and GetX when starting a new sales order in Sage 100 ERP based on the customer phone number. GetX cuts the time in half. Imagine the time savings you can generate by eliminating…process.
