Acumatica Tips and Tricks: 10 Ways to Get More from Acumatica Cloud ERP

1. Embed quick widgets. Acumatica enables you to add various tools to your dashboard. Think quick widgets such as currency converters, calendars, and other time-savers. Use these to add specific functions you use frequently.
2. Use Shift and the F key to Filter. Acumatica is a powerful ERP system. It can store massive amounts of data, which is both good and bad. The good side is that you can utilize this data in multiple ways. The bad side is that it can be very challenging to sort manually. However, depressing Shift and the F key enables you to filter via columns. It’s a great quick time saver.
3. Use drag and drop to move items. Acumatica enables users to drag and drop data to add it to system records. You can drag and drop items such as documents, inventory lists, and spreadsheets to move them quickly into each record as needed.
4. Use column configuration to update grids. Acumatica comes with a column configuration tool, available at one click, to configure columns the way you prefer them. So, if your display is not to your liking, click and change it.
5. Export to Excel. Data from Acumatica cloud ERP can be exported into Excel as needed. This is helpful if you need to move data, charts, or graphs into PowerPoint, for example, for a presentation. Because both Excel and PowerPoint are Microsoft products, using Excel enables the presentation software to display graphs correctly, resize them, and more.
6. One of the reasons many users love Acumatica is that it enables third-party platforms to create integrations via an open-source API. The Acumatica Marketplace provides a wealth of third-party extensions for everything from e-commerce to tax automation.
