G’day, mate! On October 11, 2011, Fishbowl will release its first-ever international software version: Fishbowl Australia. We’ve heard a lot of excitement from Australian business leaders about this new software, and we’re happy to finally be able to offer it.
In addition to the advanced inventory management tools that Fishbowl Inventory offers, Fishbowl Australia has three new features:
1. The ability to tax individual line items at different rates in sales orders. In Australia, taxes are line item-based rather than order-based, so if a customer orders multiple products that are in different categories, they can’t all be taxed the same. Fishbowl Australia solves this problem in the sales order module.
2. The ability to tax individual line items at different rates in purchase orders. This sounds almost the same as the first feature, but it has one big difference. Purchase orders are different than sales orders. A purchase order is a document that a customer sends to a company to place an order, and a sales order is one that a company generates to help them fill that order. It’s important for the purchase order to show the tax rates so a customer can see exactly what the total cost of their order will be.
3. Integration with QuickBooks Australia. One of the biggest things Fishbowl Inventory is known for in North America is its seamless integration with QuickBooks. So we made sure Fishbowl Australia also integrates perfectly with the Australian version of QuickBooks. Small businesses that are already familiar with that accounting software can add new inventory management features to their business with Fishbowl.
