Sales orders: Seamlessly detect existing customer order numbers

Enter Sales Orders from customers in record time with the latest feature of avoiding customer order duplication.

To enable this feature, click on Options then choose one of the options under the dropdown of Validate Duplicate/Existing Customer Order Number.

  • Chose Don't Validate to allow saving sales orders with duplicate customer order numbers

  • Choose Validate and Warn to save these after receiving a warning.

  • Choose Validate and Stop to have Excelerator refuse to save sales orders with existing customer order numbers.

Speed up customer and supplier data downloads

Experience the lightning-fast retrieval of huge customer or supplier data in the download dialogue box, when downloading the supplier data in the Excelerator. This enhancement ensures that accessing your data is not only quick but also impeccably efficient.

Reverse values easily when downloading journals

This feature allows you to reverse the debits and credits when downloading journals in NL Journals Excelerator. Reversing journal entries fix prior period adjustments, simplify bookkeeping, and ensure accurate financials by cancelling out accruals, preventing duplication, and keeping current period transactions correct.

To reverse the value of the downloaded journal, tick the Reverse Sign of Transactions option. This will invert the debit and credit values when the journal data is downloaded to Nominal Journals Excelerator.
