Unique Business Challenges and General Discussion

Does anyone know of any documentation for setting up a new company? We have been informed by our retailer that the only literature available is found within the help files. I highly doubt that is the case because I found all the ond books from when we purchased the software back in 2000. 

Version: 4.40.0.6

I want to find a guide or a very long questionaire that helps us determine exactly how we should setup all of the modules. I do not see how Sage expects their users to look through and read every help file, retain all the information, and then start trying to figure out how to set it all up properly. 

When I purchase other software that costs thousands of dollars......I get a little more literature and guidance....

Sigh.   The good old days of paper manuals.   Scarce commodity anywhere these days.

Have you looked at the Installation and Administration Guide?   I believe you can find it on the install CD's.

You can also find t it at  www.sagesoftwareonline.com/mas/installguides.cfm.     You will have to sign up in sagesoftwareonline to gain access to this.

Your reseller probably has templates that they created specifically for this purpose.

If you click on the Documentation link (on the first install screen), instead of one of the Install options, you will find both the Upgrade and Getting Started Installation guides.

Those old books are worth their weight in gold!   Sage did away with printed documentation.   A prime example of change not equalling progress. As indicated you can find information in the Help files and on the Sage Support web page.
