Automation for Actinic: How to automatically put your Actinic orders into Sage (or Quickbooks)
You can use Automation for Actinic to automatically take your Actinic orders and transfer them to Sage Line 50. This means that you can effectively leave your Actinic PC to 'look after itself' and do all of your Order Processing within Sage.

If you are using Quickbooks select the Actinic Link for QuickBooks program to close.
11 You can then close this program by using the [X] button in the top right hand corner of the window.
