Microsoft Thursday made available a new version of its small-business accounting software, which it is aiming at customers who don't require the heft of more extensive business software products that it sells.

Small Business Manager 7.0 is an upgrade to a product first released in November last year. The new release adds features that allow customers to manage inventory and purchase orders, in addition to the existing general ledger features in the previous product, said Karen Engel, lead product manager with Microsoft's Business Solutions division.
