- My favorite feature in Acumatica is the ability to connect directly to the data in a Generic Inquiry over OData - It's my favorite feature because both Microsoft Excel and Power BI understand OData so you can design reports that are refreshable at the click of a button instead of having to Export to Excel every time you want new data - But OData can time out on large datasets - That time out pro...

- Just me this episode so this will be a shorter one - Earlier this week I posted a lenghty explanation about moving AugForums.com to read-only mode - And transitioning to focus on ErpSeal.com - This Podcast also moves to ErpSeal.com - I’m not restarting the Podcast episode numbers, just continuing under a new name - So I thought we should dedicate this episode to talk about why this Podcast is no...

How well does it work in the real world? Did employees who used to manually enter data get to elevate their responsibilities to higher value-added tasks? - I’ve got a bunch of q...

- We've seen the AI Assistant demoed for over a year now and it definitely generated a lot of buzz. - It finally released officially in Acumatica 2026 R1. - Tim just got access to it last week and decided that it would be fun to tinker with it live on an episode broadcast because it's always more fun to do things live without any prep. - Let's “unbox” it and have some fun. #Acumatica #ERP #CloudER...

Tim was an “AI Curmudgeon” since ChatGPT launched in November 2022, thinking it was overhyped. But Tim finally dove head first into AI in January 2026 and has been “drinking from the firehose” ever since. This episode walks through something that I built in real life last weekend using AI. This skill is important now that we have AI Assistant in Acumatica 2026 R1. #Acumatica #ERP #CloudERP

Has anyone ever asked you to create a Dashboard for them in Acumatica? Then you ask them what they'd like to see on it and they give you a blank stare? The Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) has a lot of guidance in this area about what KPIs matter in an organization. EOS Implementer Jake Wells joins us to talk about it. #Acumatica #ERP #CloudERP

Artificial Intelligence is improving so fast that it's hard to keep up. AI is not good at doing everything, but one thing that it's really good at doing is coding. People who aren't developers have been creating all sorts of interesting things with AI. Phil is going to show us how he used AI to create his own Business Intelligence tool. #Acumatica #ERP #CloudERP

When Tim saw Mik C. demo the Calendar Board in the new Acumatica UI, Tim thought, “hey, that looks like a scheduling engine that could be used in other areas, not just a Field Service screen”. Daryl has been getting into the weeds and is finding that to be the case. Let’s dive into the tech details and discuss possible additional use cases like support tickets, deliveries, work centers, etc. #Acum...

Gabriel did a session at Acumatica Summit 2026 last week where he showed new Excel templates for construction, best practices for Dashboards, a redesigned Query Builder for no-code data exploration, and new AI features that speed up reporting work. I really wanted to attend, but wasn't able to make it, so Gabriel is going to show me that stuff on this Episode, with the added benefit that I get to...

Would you like to demystify the Acumatica ERP buying experience? Arline will break down how Stellar One allows companies to explore Acumatica, risk-free, in an environment that includes their own data pulled from their existing system. THEN they decide if they want to buy. We'll talk about moving from a traditional model to a newer model, and the risks and rewards that come with that. #Acumatica #...

The VIEW HISTORY button on the Automation Schedules (SM205020) screen in Acumatica will show you the Execution Date and the Execution Result, but it won't show you how long it took to run. I'd like to show you an idea for how you can see how long the Automation Schedule took to run. #Acumatica #ERP #CloudERP

Until meeting Mark at the Acumatica User Group in New Jersey on September 10, I always thought of Smartsheet as a data capture tool, not a reporting tool. But Mark told me how he uses Smartsheet as a reporting tool, feeding it with Acumatica data. That sounded interesting so let's take a look at what Mark is up to. #Acumatica #ERP #CloudERP

An “always current” Cloup ERP is a great idea in theory, but the reality is that you have to go through upgrades. And upgrades require prepration. So let’s talk about Acumatica Upgrades in the real world with Garrett Rochell #Acumatica #ERP #CloudERP
