Hi Everyone,
Today I want to speak with you about the ways how to learn more about Acumatica and how to do it better.
First of all, if you are a new person, you need to start with overview videos:
When you get more familiar with interface and general idea you can start with beginner training materials and than move forward with more advanced. When you choosing training to attend always keep in mind your personal role in the company. If you are pre-sales engineer you may not need to learn more about Fixed Assets configuration. And vice-versa if you are business consultant you may not need a pre-sales and development courses.
On the image bellow you can find a basic overview of paths that you can choose.
But where to start?
Personally I recommend you to start with these training courses:
- R155 Introduction to Acumatica ERP UI (2 Hours) – This will give you overview of Acumatica UI and how to use it faster and better.
- F100 Financial Basic (16 Hours) – Financial course where users usually starts to learn Acumatica business functionality. You may not need this course if you are a developer or system administrator, but I still recommend you to read it just to get basic understanding of ways how Acumatica is used by end users.
- S130 Reports Dashboards and Inquiries (6 Hours) – I recommend you this course even if you are business consultant or pre-sales engineer. This will give you good overview of Acumatica reporting possibilities, that is very important for everyone who needs data back from the system.

I want to prepare a short course in Acumatica system , online course , could you please support me with providers companies in the UK . Thx
Great post. This is a great information for new VARs and ISVs looking to learn Acumatica quickly. There is also an End User eTraining platform created by an ISV in the US called AcuCademy. This tool, coupled with the support from a well trained VAR makes Acumatica a solid option for anyone considering a mid-market ERP.
Hi Woody,

Session timeout. I tried to change IIS session time out from 20 to 60, but doesn't work.
Hi Woody,
Do you mean session timeout? Or do you mean lockout after incorrect password attempt?
Nice blog.
Can I ask a quick question, how to increase user lockout time for Acumatica, is it managed by IIS session timeout or web.config?
