  • v2021 Release: We are working on our compatibility build for Sage 300 v2021. We plan to release EFT Processing in early October, with other modules to follow throughout October. Keep an eye on the Product News page of our website for progress updates.
  • Version Compatibility: Our Anatomy of a Version Update article explains what's involved in preparing a compatibility release, and why our modules aren't backward compatible.
  • Inter-Entity Transactions: The PU released on 10-September included several enhancements. Find out more here. 
 
Document Management Link (DML), part of Orchid's Informatioin Manager suite of productivity tools gives you: 
  • Easy access to essential documents directly from your Sage 300 screens.
  • Support for remote working by overcoming your reliance on physical documents.
Setting up DML is one of the easiest and quickest ways you can add value to a client's Sage 300 site.
And we mean quick!

This "Quick Start" video shows how you can configure DML (for A/P) in under 30 minutes. 
 

 
DML also featured in our recent article, Susan's Decluttering Journey. Sue from Orchid takes us on a 20 year trip down memory lane.

Find out how DML, Notes, EFT Processing and other Orchid products allowed Sue, and Orchid, to finally achieve a paperless office.
 
 
 
“Everyone loves DML!!  It makes working remotely so much easier. All staff in different locations can see the relevant documents and no more hunting around for lost paperwork!”
