Intuit released a new version of QuickBooks Enterprise! This year they have made a few changes and given Enterprise Solutions a whole new level of flexibility, with the familiar QuickBooks look and feel.

Some of the latest features and enhancements are:
Communicate more efficiently
QuickBooks 2014 streamlines communication with customers and other business contacts, so you can share the latest information more easily and reduce errors. New customizable email templates let you auto-populate QuickBooks data like invoice number and amount due, helping to ensure accurate communication. Plus, with the new income tracker you will always know the status of your money coming in, so you can stay on top of your receivables and over dues.

Accomplish more with new exclusive features
You can now do more to manage your end-to-end workflow right inside QuickBooks. The new Work-In- Progress and Committed Costs reports make it easier to manage your jobs. You can now use the BOM cost as your assembly cost, and the Where-Used report helps you save even more time managing assemblies. Our improved Auto POs turn purchasing into a two-click operation without worrying about minimum or maximum stock levels. And now, with our improved search technology, you can find your data 60% faster than ever before.*

Add-On tools help the software work harder for you
You already know about Advanced Inventory, and we are now pleased to announce our latest Add-On, Advanced Pricing. With the Advanced Pricing Add-On, you can take charge of your pricing and make it work harder for you–and for your bottom line. Easily change, customize and automate your pricing right inside QuickBooks. You can create thousands of sophisticated price rules based on any combination of customers, items, vendors, classes, custom fields and more. In addition, you can manage price rules with great flexibility: apply multiple price rules at once and change which price rules apply before completing the transaction.

A few things to note:
Full Service Plan:  After the initial purchase of QBES, Customers will continue to receive the benefits of the latest version of QBES thanks to the annual FSP.Each year after the initial purchase, Intuit will notify you of your upcoming renewal.

*For Intuit QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions Hosting Service customers, you will receive a separate email with details on how Right Networks will install 14.0 for you.

Customers Who Did Not Maintain the FSP:  If you want to upgrade to the newest version of QBES, you will purchase the software for the appropriate amount of users for your business needs. This purchase will include the first year of FSP. The FSP pricing has remained unchanged: $950 (1-5 users), $1450 (6-10 users), $2450 (30 users).

And Don’t Forget: Now, QBES is offered in single user increments from 1-10 users, so you only have to buy exactly as many users as you need.  Down the line, you can affordably add users to support your growing business. QBES is still available in 5, 10, and 30 user increments.
