MultiTAS 6 released with new features

After 15 months of hard work, MultiTAS 6 has been released.

This is a major update to MultiTAS, building upon a lot of the work that has gone on previously, and includes key new features that have long been on our roadmap. It finally ‘closes the loop’ in terms of Purchase Order functionality.

Here is what’s new:

  • Purchase Order Receiving. This has been on our to-do list since version 1 and we’ve finally finished it. With this first release, there are no bells and whistles (for example: multiple locations, foreign currency).  Yet. These will follow in subsequent updates.
  • Purchase Order Invoicing. Goes hand in hand with Purchase Order Receiving. As with receiving goods, we want to allow this basic version to settle before adding multiple locations and foreign currency support.
  • Document Names. This has some customers’ wish list since, well, forever. With MultiTAS 6 you can now use our new drag and drop feature to set what you want exported Order document filenames to be. Choose from type, date, document number and others.
  • Improvements to Installers. For customers with multiple solutions (e.g. MultiTAS, Infoplex SDK, Tax Manager) whereby when an update was applied to one solution it broke the other(s). We’re pleased to say that MultiTAS 6 resolves this issue from hereon.
  • Sales Order Entry. A new Stock Level check when you convert a quotation to any other type, previously no check was carried out. If there isn’t enough stock then you have the standard options (go negative or on back order)
  • Bug Fixes. There are minor bugs and glitches that appear from nowhere and never disappear.  Well, we’ve fixed the ones we know about. If you find any others, please don’t be shy in letting us know…!

So, there you have it. MultiTAS 6 is available for download now.

As this is a major update (and due to the improvements to installers) you will need to remove the existing version of MultiTAS you have before updating to v6.

Subsequent updates to v6 (e.g. from v6.0.1 to v6.1.1) should not require this extra step.

MultiTAS 5 released with new features


After months of hard work (and more than a little shouting at the computer), MultiTAS 5 has been released.

This is a major update to MultiTAS, building on a lot of the work that has gone in 4, and includes a raft of new features that have long been on our customers’ wish lists. We really were listening.

So, what are those new features? Here are some…

  1. Purchase Order Entry. This has been on our to-do list since version 3.5 (at least) and we’ve finally added it. Now… a little bit of expectation management.  There are no frills and fancy bits. There are no bells and whistles (for example: multiple locations, supplier specific price lists).  It’s purchase order entry, pure and simple.  The bells and whistles and whatnot will follow in subsequent updates.
  2. Address Lookups. This has been on most customers’ wish list since, well, forever. With MultiTAS 5 you can now search a database of addresses and automatically populate fields with the correct data. It mostly goes in the correct places!  It’s only available for UK addresses at the moment. We hope to add Irish addresses in a future update.
  3. Improvements to Purchase Order Printing. There have been some issues with this in some releases and many of our customers have been in touch with requests (compatibility for this or that, additional information, etc.) We’re pleased to say that MultiTAS 5 addresses these issues and a few others besides.
  4. Product Movements Report. Our revamped report now offers greater clarity, functionality and insight for users.
  5. Improvements to Customer Statements. With MultiTAS 5, we’ve added the ‘Remember these settings’ marble you see elsewhere in the software. So set your filters then double-click the marble and they will be saved for the next time!
  6. Bug Fixes. This goes without saying that there are minor bugs and glitches that appear from nowhere and never disappear.  Well, we’ve fixed them. Most of them. Oh, ok. We’ve fixed the ones we know about. If you find any others, please don’t be shy in letting us know…!

You’ll also notice that we’ve refreshed the look and feel of MultiTAS. Out with the old multi-coloured (and slightly distorted) logo and in with a new logo in keeping with Infoplex’s branding. We’ve also given the toolbar icons an overhaul to keep things “on point” and “on message”. Yes, we’ve been reading a book on buzzwords.

So there you have it. MultiTAS 5 is available for download now.
