The Business Framework provides many usability features that will allow an easy upgrade to new releases and will lower customers’ Total Cost of Ownership by providing simple tools they can use to create modify many of the ‘out of the box’ characteristics of the software. Version 4.4 includes over 35 incredibly powerful enhancements, each of which is reason enough for many customers to upgrade. Here are our top five: 1. **Expanded Customer Number** – The customer number field has been expanded to 20 characters in 4.4. In previous releases, this field has been limited to 7 characters. The Division number remains at 2 characters. Upgrading customers will be able to continue using the 7 character customer number or they may choose to expand the field, by company.[![](https://blog.bcsprosoft.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/expanded_ARCustomer_Number1.jpg?width=448&height=274&name=expanded_ARCustomer_Number1.jpg "expanded_ARCustomer_Number")](https://blog.bcsprosoft.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/expanded_ARCustomer_Number.png) 2. **Expanded Item Number** – The item number field has been expanded to 30 characters in 4.4. In previous releases this field has been limited to 15 characters. This expansion also applies to special and miscellaneous items. Upgrading customers will be able to continue to use their existing 15 character setting or they may choose to expand the field, by company.[![](https://blog.bcsprosoft.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Expanded_IM_Number.jpg?width=448&height=96&name=Expanded_IM_Number.jpg "Expanded_IM_Number")](https://blog.bcsprosoft.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Expanded_IM_Number.png) 3. **Persistent Report Preview Setting** – Report Preview will allow individual users to set their own (per user) default magnification level for previewing reports. After a user establishes their magnification preference, they will be able to preview all their reports at that setting, without having to reselect it each time they view any report.[![](https://blog.bcsprosoft.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/User_prefs.jpg?width=448&height=247&name=User_prefs.jpg "User_prefs")](https://blog.bcsprosoft.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/User_prefs.png) 4. **Batch Entry for Inventory Transactions** – Finally, a batch feature has been added to the Inventory Transaction Entry program. This feature will allow multiple users to enter and update batches without accidentally updating another user’s incomplete batch. 5. **Standard Cost Adjustments** – Companies using the Standard Cost method typically do so because they have inventory costs that frequently fluctuate and they want to limit the changes made to their standard costs to a specific time, perhaps only twice a year. When making those changes, the new Standard Cost Adjustment feature in 4.4 will simplify the process by automatically calculating and posting, instead of requiring the user to do calculations and enter the General Ledger adjustments. The new Standard Cost Adjustment in 4.4 will preserve the accuracy of the Inventory value on hand, and provide a simplified audit trail.[![](https://blog.bcsprosoft.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/standard_Cost_Adjustment.jpg?width=448&height=198&name=standard_Cost_Adjustment.jpg "standard_Cost_Adjustment")](https://blog.bcsprosoft.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/standard_Cost_Adjustment.png) So that’s our “Top 5” enhancements to MAS 90/200 at version 4.4.
