Infor SunSystems offers a wide range of functionalities and a user-friendly interface, enhancing the overall user experience. Users can easily extract financial reports from SunSystems with just a click of a button in Excel, streamlining the reporting process and improving efficiency. The software also provides an easy interface for creating and amending the Chart of accounts, allowing users to set up mandatory codes and avoid incorrect coding.

With Infor SunSystems, users can maintain books and records, as well as financial ledgers, making it a comprehensive solution for managing the financial aspects of a business. The software serves as a central point for collating project reports from different business locations and converting them to a standard currency for organization-wide reporting. It also interacts well with other apps like COUPA, facilitating seamless integration. Additionally, Infor SunSystems has moved to the cloud, making it more reliable and user-friendly over time.

Overall, this product has proven to be highly customizable and delivers a solution that meets the ever-changing requirements of businesses. It eliminates the need for manual data re-keying from other systems, saving time and improving accuracy. While some users may find the interface clunky, most appreciate the improved performance compared to other accounting software. Infor SunSystems is recommended for small businesses and non-profits but may become cumbersome for larger organizations.

Easy to use: Many users have found Infor SunSystems easy to navigate and use efficiently, once they are trained on it. The software's interactive interface and user-friendly general ledger contribute to its ease of use.

Q&A Excel function: The Q&A function for Excel is highly praised by users, as it allows them to interact with the system using Excel. This feature enables users to design reports and extract financial transactions in Excel, making it convenient and efficient.

Upload feature: Users highly appreciate the upload feature in SunSystems, as it allows them to easily upload data files, saving a significant amount of manual key-in time for ad hoc data entry.

Delays and slow performance: Users have experienced delays and slow performance when running reports in Infor Q&A. This issue has been mentioned by multiple reviewers, indicating that it is a common problem.

Cumbersome manual data entry: The system requires users to manually enter data, but the process can be cumbersome. All fields become mandatory, and the cursor does not automatically move to the next field after inputting data. Some users have had to refresh and redo certain fields when trying to save.

Lack of asset tracking capabilities: Despite having a fixed asset register, the software lacks the ability to track assets and maintenance. Multiple reviewers have pointed out this limitation, suggesting that it is an area for improvement in SunSystems.

Users of Infor SunSystems have provided several recommendations based on their experiences. The three most common recommendations are:

  1. Set up the layout before using: Users suggest taking the time to set up the layout of SunSystems before getting started. This allows for a more efficient and tailored experience within the application.

  2. Allocate time for training new users: It is recommended to allocate sufficient time for training new users on SunSystems. This ensures that they are familiar with the software's features and can utilize it effectively in their roles.

  3. Consider using a good consultant: Many users recommend seeking assistance from a knowledgeable consultant to set up and implement SunSystems successfully. Working with a consultant can help ensure a smooth transition and optimize the usage of the software.

These recommendations highlight the importance of adequately preparing, training users, and seeking external expertise when implementing Infor SunSystems for financial management purposes.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use Infor SunSystems as our Accounting software. It allows our finance team to maintain our accounts, manage our suppliers and code the costs to differet budget codes. We can forecast and budget for upcoming financial years. We are also able to integrate it with out purchase order system Proactis.
Pros and Cons
  • Infor SunSystems integrates really well with various purchase ordering systems to create one overall solution for us
  • The simplicity of using Infor SunSystems is really good. We have high staff turnover and new staff are able to pick up the use of the product fairly quickly
  • Infor SunSystems is a popular accounting software so when it comes to recruitment there is a lot of interest as the product is widely used by finance people
  • The administration of Infor SunSystems is very easy for the IT team and the product is always receiving updates
Likelihood to Recommend
I think the integration side of Infor SunSystems is really good where by it works well with our other business systems. It is easy to pick up for new staff members. We have not had to hold full blown training courses for unfamiliar users, they were able to use existing documentation and guides. The graphical interface is a drawback as it feels like you are using an old system.

Return on Investment
  • With the cost of living we had to reign in the budget this year. As it's easy to export data out of Infor SunSystems we were able to report on spend and gain greater control of outgoings
  • One of our objectives is to build new homes for people. Infor SunSystems allowed us to budget and forecast all the costs to determine what we could achieve
  • With Infor SunSystems being a popular accounting software we are able to recruit previous Infor SunSystems users therefore not having to spend on training staff which is very costly.

SunSystems is being used as our primary ERP system for financial reporting, accounts receivable, and accounts payable. Financial reporting has become more standardized since implementing.
Pros and Cons
  • Integration options are very good. We are able to import data in a number of ways and extract data as well. The use of their built in API for data validation, extraction and entry is working very well for us.
Likelihood to Recommend
I would recommend, provided accounts payable will be running on their own system. SunSystems doesn't seem to work well for AP and/or purchasing.
