    "A Very Capable Software"

    Posted 2021-08-12

    Pros: In my humble opinion, this software has some of the best drilldown capabilities I've ever seen in a Tier3/Tier2 level ERP. M1 has also solved the age old problem of custom SQL queries that tend to be daunting for standard system users. The software allows users to create custom grids simply by selecting from a list of available tables and then adding headers. Behind the scenes it automatically writes the SQL code. This ability empowers daily users to easily access the data they need.

    Cons: No software is perfect, and unfortunately one of the areas where M1 falls down a bit is on Deposit Invoices. The software can detect when a customer has a deposit, and apply it towards the final A/R Invoice, but if the situation arises where the original Deposit Invoice has to be credited, and a new Deposit Invoice issued, it tends to duplicate the deposit lines on the final A/R Invoice. The duplicate lines can be deleted, but that is an extra step that can be missed by a careless A/R person. If ECi would nip this issue in the bud, I'd be hard pressed to find something to complain about.

    Overall: All-in-all this is a very capable software that I feel needs to be on the shortlist of any small business looking to implement an ERP system (especially small manufacturing businesses).
