Infor SunSystems 6.3

Infor SunSystems 6.3 is available now. This, the latest version of SunSystems, delivers significant functionality and usability enhancements, meets today's customer expectations for a "web first" deployment strategy, and provides access to a range of new and exciting options.

It will be complimented in the near future by a new Xi Platform. This will give customers the option to add a fully integrated Document Management system and a new SunSystems Portals facility.

Enhanced Usability

• Configuration Manager
  Brings configuration settings together into a single web-enabled management console. Settings include allocation of memory in the new Ledger Import caching feature. Memory caching can improve Ledger Import speed by 2-3 times.
• Web First
  The browser client has been extended to include a SunSystems Connect (SSC) portal and enhanced Transfer Desk and User Manager capabilities.
• Other
  Includes some "behind the scenes" enhancements such as a .Net Framework rewrite and implementation of SQL Always On Failover - to automatically reinstate SunSystems connections following, say, a network failure.

Core Features

• Currency Rate Type
  The ability to group currency rates by any criteria you see fit
• Withholding Tax
  Calculation of Withholding Tax has been made a standard feature of SunSystems rather than requiring use of an analysis code.
• Requisitioning
  Includes the ability to create a purchase requisition from within SunSystems, check available budget and submit to an approver for approval.
• SunSystems Home Pages
  Improvements to the home page within the web client, including graphics and other widgets from which the user can drill down to underlying data.
• Static Data Status
  New static data records (such as GL Account code, Cost Centre, Supplier, Bank Details etc) can be set to a new status of "Draft", allowing configuration of approval workflow and review.

Xi Platform

• Portals
  Provides secure access to SunSystems data without requiring a SunSystems login. Employees, Customers and Suppliers can gain access to details of invoices, orders and balances.
• Document Management
  Attach and view documents that are associated with records in SunSystems.
