Sage Accpac ERP Specific Features
- Stonefield Query works with Sage Accpac ERP version 5.6 and earlier
- Support for Database View versus Application View in Report Wizards. The difference between the two is that Database View displays a database-centric view of the data in your application--that is, organized the way the tables and fields are in the database--while Application View shows fields the way Sage Accpac does in its various dialogs
- Displays optional fields in the table they are associated with rather than in the table Accpac internally stores them in, making it much easier to query on optional fields
- Displays the expected value for many code fields rather than the actual values as Accpac stores them
- Automatically converts dates, which Accpac stores as numeric values (for example, "20080304" for 03/04/2008), into true date values, which works better for display purposes and for date expressions
- Only allows querying on modules that are activated and that the user has access to
- Allows you to consolidate records from multiple companies into one report
- Only displays those tables and fields actually available in the version of Accpac you use
- Displays the description for General Ledger account and Inventory Control segments
- Supports reporting on the Uni Sales Analysis (UniSA) module

Ease of Use
Unlike generic report writers, Stonefield Query has been customized specifically for Sage Accpac ERP. You don't have to tell Stonefield Query how to get the data; you simply tell it what you want and it will figure out how to get it. Everyone in the organization from the President to the receptionist can use Stonefield Query for Sage Accpac ERP. Stonefield Query saves technical staff time and alleviates the burden of creating every query and report an end-user could ever think of.
Productivity
With generic report writers you are responsible for laying out fields, adjusting sizes and headings manually. Stonefield Query automatically places fields and headings on the report and sizes them appropriately. You can create a report in Stonefield Query in just seconds with only a few mouse clicks. Grouping, sorting, totaling fields, and filtering are as simple as selecting the desired option from a list.
Performance
Stonefield Query uses SQL SELECT statements to retrieve records from the database, so only those records that match the filter are accessed. This can have an enormous impact on the performance of the query. For example, one Stonefield Query user told us that a report they created in Crystal Reports takes over 25 minutes to run, but the same report in Stonefield Query takes just 15 seconds. That's 100 times faster.
Security
Stonefield Query supports role-based security at the field, table and report level. This means you can control access to any information stored in your Sage Accpac ERP system. Restrict access to custom fields and other sensitive information in a few mouse clicks.
Value
Stonefield Query fulfills a valuable need every organization has: the access to information. More importantly, it allows the people who need the information the most, the ability to get it themselves. In most cases, the cost of a single Crystal report is more expensive than Stonefield Query. Stonefield Query delivers a fast return on investment.
