What are the new features to look forward to for ACCPAC 5.6? For AR and AP? Does Sage plan to include a Cash Management module in future versions?

I doubt if Sage will include a cash management module, Bank Services is what you get. You need to look at 3rd party modules like Peresoft Cashbook and others if you are looking for more functionality.

 From what I understand, you will still have to go with a 3rd party software for Cash Management. 5.6 will not have a Cash Management module.

 Thanks for the reply. Will upcoming versions of ACCPAC ERP support the editing of the bank code in the AP and AR payment and receipt entries? Right now, once the bank is selected it can no longer be edited (unless one cancels the entire transaction). It is already a common finance process flow that the bank selection for a payment is at the last step of the disbursement procedure (and vice versa for receipts). Other small to mid-tier ERP systems already support this functionality (i.e. SAP Business One).

I was hoping that version 5.6 would already support this functionality but it looks like we have to wait for Project Orca.

I highly doubt it, but we'll have to wait and see.

I doubt it as well, there are a number of things that change depending on the bank that is selected if you are using multi currency. I know this means squat if you are not using multi currency, but the business logic is still there. Make the bank selection the first part of your process flow.

Will be able to date lock subledgers before locking GL?

No
