Sage MIP Fund Accounting v10

Millennium v7.7

=====================================================================

Sage MIP Fund Accounting v10 (coming soon)

Sage MIP Fund Accounting version 10 has some exciting new features and enhancements! Along with the introduction of the new Visual Analyzer module, you’ll find many implemented requests of customers, giving you more of what you need most. Be sure to attend our FREE What’s New in Sage MIP Fund Accounting v10 Web cast and watch for more details coming soon!   

Visual Analyzer
The Visual Analyzer module provides a graphical, interactive approach to financial data analysis. Quickly uncover trends, monitor budgets and spending, and share key information throughout your organization. This business intelligence tool allows you to identify risk, develop effective strategies and make timely, informed decisions.

1099 Tax Forms and eFiling by Aatrix®
New changes have been made to the Accounts payable 1099 process as well as additional capabilities have been added to the functionality from Aatrix® integration. Produce and perform on-screen edits to your 1099-INT, 1099-DIV, 1099-MISC, and 1099-R. The forms are populated with data from your Accounts Payable module, so you can simply produce 1099s in one application. To preserve an accurate audit trail, you can save encrypted historical files for future reference of each 1099 that has been printed and track more vendor information with reports. Reports include the state tax withheld and 1099 form type as both content and items by page.

Enhancements to Inventory
Inventory items can be assigned multiple locations, so every item is accounted for by building or warehouse. To stay on top of spoilage and reduce waste, you can set expiration dates for inventory items with shelf lives, such as prescription medications or food. With the Check Item Availability you can easily check an item’s location and expiration status and availability at, the Purchase Orders, Electronic Requisitions, and Sales Order Entry. Inventory reports also provide more detail and present precise records.

Report Binders & the Scheduler
Print your report binders on demand, delivering report data into your choice of PDF, e-mail, Excel, or printer files. You can easily reorder reports within your report binder to address each recipient’s needs. The Scheduler (formerly called NightShift) provides options to print PDF, Excel, or printer files. And if you elect to export to Excel, you can remove the report headers, footers, and page breaks of any Sage MIP Fund Accounting report.  Additionally, when exporting reports to Excel, you many now choose to append to an existing Excel Workbook.

Enhancements to General Functionality
As with previous versions, this release continues to simplify tasks and save time. Examples include:

  • Import reversing journal vouchers in current documents, and use the Recurring Manager to process percentage based recurring documents
  • Use the new Distribution Code Jump button in Electronic Requisitions to view the funds affected by a distribution code before you choose one, or you can create a new distribution code on the fly
  • Filter Select A/P Invoices to Pay and Invoices Selected for Payment using vendor user-defined fields
  • Skip a step with the single logon capability of the Windows Authentication Option
  • Back up your data from any application for increased security against data loss

Millennium v7.7 (coming soon)

Millennium v7.7 brings many customer requested enhancements and some exciting new features, including the introduction of the new Visual Analyzer module. Here is just a sampling of what v7.7 will have to offer.  Visit our Free webcast section to register for one of the June live Web cast.

Visual Analyzer
The Visual Analyzer allows for creation of customizable dashboards containing relevant metrics from the Millennium database. Powered by QlikView, this business intelligence allows you to slice and dice your data, providing your staff the information they need to develop effective fundraising strategies and make timely, informed decisions.

Highlights of User Requested Enhancements
Changes are being made to the Advisory feature to increase usability and a new field will be added to the gifts table to further define credit type. Also, the Advanced Data Examiner will gain the ability to add constituent relationships and address comparisons will be able to be made against all good addresses on a matched constituent.  Additional enhancements include:

  • The addition of 10 yes/no fields, numeric fields, currency fields, date fields and 5 text fields to all data tables except Summaries and Other_Info.  Also, the Gifts, Dues, Chart of Accounts, Attributes, Corebio, Custom Bio, Custom Prospect, Planned Gifts, Proposals, Actions, Events, Attendance, Tasks, Membership, Ratings and Education will have three additional custom lookup fields.  This will allow for much greater flexibility in the existing Millennium application.
  • “Snapshot” screens can now be created for concise data viewing.  Screens are customizable by site and allow the individual user to customize his or her “Snapshot” display.
  • Default printers and reporting queues can now be set for users or groups.
  • User settings can be copied to new users for filters, sorts, defined displays, prototypes, snapshots, default printers and default queues.
  • All search results screens are now customizable.
  • Four searchable alternate ID fields have been added to the Corebio table.   These fields will also be available for constituent matching in the Advanced Data Examiner.
  • Pledge payments can now be hidden.  When they are hidden, a total of payments, credits and write-offs will display.  This will greatly improve the display of payroll deduction and sustainer pledges which often have dozens of payments attached.
