We just need Jan to work her magic with a good mole

Actually having said on twitter yesterday that we haven't done anything with this yet, I have just found that actually we have. Pat has created a view for our One Stop Order Processing program that produces a file in the correct format to exporting orders to MS accounting. The problem is that at the moment it exports to CSV, so he is also looking at a way of exporting straight to XLS which is the format required by MS accounting. You can find more details and a free trial of OSOP at this URL :

We will send beta details to people that have registered an interest in the MS accounting link as soon as we have them.

4Children2Enjoy, thanks for listing your solution - it doesn't look that complicated to me.

We have a beta now for our One Stop Order Processing plugin with the addition of a link to MS Accounting, details of how it works can be found here, contact Mole End support if you would like to try the beta :

Looks good, i know you have been working hard Jan, but do you see it being possible to fully intergrate, by this mean things like stock control e.t.c similar to the sage / actinic link at some time or is that going to be a huge amount of work?

[Jan]

All Pat's work not mine Darren :-) This is the integration that One Stop Order Processing will provide, the full integration isn't that difficult to be honest, however it doesn't fit in with One Stop Order Processing and so a special link would need to be built. If enough people are interested. say 40 or so then we will write this, but so far only 3 people have expressed interest.

Regards,

[Darren B]

I can see the need to have a market, theres no point in selling something no one is going to buy

For other users how is the best way to register and interest, is it still to email support @ mole-end. Am i one of the 3, i cant remember if i did email you?

You are not one of my three, but you are now one of my 4 :-)

I would also be interested, although as yet I don't have One Stop Order Processing or MS Accounting 2008.

Would the link work for just the MS Accounting Pro or will it also work for the free version.

[Darren B]

You are not one of my three, but you are now one of my 4 :-)

Regards,

w00t is this a special 4

[Golf Tee Warehouse]

Do I qualify to be number 5 or just 4½.

[Jan]

5 yeah, and two of them are Darren's perfect :-)

I have been play with MOA and it looks a lot better then sage. So can I be added to the list please.

[Jarvis]

Whilst I am not in a position to beta test at the moment, I would like to be added to your list of potential clients.
I know that at least four of my clients will also be interested and there are certain to be more.

Freeware to integrate Actinic/MOA

In addition to Jan’s interface, we are also thinking of making our Actinic/Microsoft Accounts integration software available as a piece of Freeware early in the New Year. See posting #11 above. The software would integrate Actinic v9 with MOA Professional 2008, and would include features such as:

1. Allow MOA to become the master location for all Actinic product data.

2. Use MOA product data to drive up to 5 websites.

3. Pass all 40 MOA user-defined product fields across to Actinic websites for use as extra product variables. Eg “Cannot buy more than stock level”, “Packaging type”.

4. Allow each of the 5 websites to have up to 10 subshops (for affiliates).

5. Export new orders from up to five Actinic websites across to MOA as sales orders, as soon as they have been downloaded.

6. Flag possible errors on orders received, for manual intervention. Eg suspect email addresses.

7. Provide a range of extra reports, which combine MOA order data with Actinic data. This is essential, as only a limited number of Actinic order fields can be passed into MOA. Examples would be extra works/despatch documentation, and Worldpay reconciliation.

8. Allow key functions such as product upload and order download to be scheduled at regular intervals (eg hourly).

9. Provide user documentation explaining how a company might use MOA with Actinic, from both a business and a technical perspective. This is important, as we find MOA is itself lacking in proper documentation.

10. Be written in Microsoft Access 2007, which makes it compatible with the design principles of MOA, and most importantly, would allow users to customise their Freeware if they wish.

The Freeware would be provided free of charge via a website operated by our sister company Innovation21c Ltd at www.system21c.co.uk

Hope this will help. We like MOA, despite its occasional quirkiness, and think it works really well with Actinic.

This is something we would be interested in too
