Many modern ERPs let you attach files to your records. This is a useful feature when keeping track of important internal or customer documents, like invoices, receipts, purchase orders, etc. The only problem is, if you have many people working on the same file and they upload a new version each time they make even the slightest change, it quickly becomes difficult to tell which copy is most up to date.
Acumatica understands this is an issue for many of its users. That’s why Acumatica ERP file management system allows you to save different versions of a file with unique version numbers and notes. That way, anyone looking at a record can quickly tell what changes someone made to each and when.  If you’ve ever used SharePoint and are familiar with how it keeps track of the various versions of each document in its library, Acumatica is similar.
