Accounts Modules


The following accounts modules are companion products to our Time and Billing module, and complete the accounts facilities in our Practice Management software suite:

Debtors (Accounts Receivable)

Our Debtors module (Accounts Receivable) provides very efficient administration of client accounts.  It automatically detects and imports new invoices raised by the Time and Cost module, and in turn passes these on (together with receipts from clients) to the General Ledger (if you run one).  It integrates nicely with the other modules, allowing you to drill-down to a client's account history and balance when you are looking their address details or even one of their jobs.  Conversely, while viewing a client's account, you can print an ad hoc statement and drill-down to any other information on that client, including timesheets that are yet to be invoiced. 
You can enter ad hoc receipts and journals individually, while viewing a client's account, which is particularly useful for journals.  However, if there are several receipts on the same day, it is more efficient (and better) to enter them as a batch.  If you are running the full version (Open Item), the batch entry facility can automatically allocate invoices and assist you with the data entry.  If you enter a batch of cheques (and cash) for today's date, the software offers to print a banking deposit form to save you writing one out manually (i.e. listing bank, branch, payer details, and amount for each cheque).  When raising General Ledger transactions (if this facility is turned on) a batch of cheques and cash on the same day are processed as a "split deposit", to facilitate easy bank reconciliation in the GL.  (But Direct Credits and any APs on the same day are posted to the GL as separate transactions for easy reconciliation with your bank statements.) 
The software has a very nice flow chart to facilitate end of month processing (which includes producing statements and relevant reports).  There are a number of useful management reports that help you understand and monitor both individual debtors and your total debtors ledger.

Creditors (Accounts Payable)

If you have sufficient volume of supplier invoices to warrant it, the Creditors module (Accounts Payable) integrates well with both the Time & Cost and General Ledger. Invoices from suppliers and sub-contractors are entered in the Creditors module (being coded to the respective Job and Activity if they are to be on-charged).  Data entry of Invoices automatically raises transactions for both the Time & Cost module if applicable (for subsequent invoicing and tracking of costs by job/project), and also the General Ledger.  It will even apply a mark-up to the amount that is on-charged, if you have configured it to do so.  Invoices for company overheads, are merely coded to the appropriate GL account (and obviously not passed through to the Time & Cost).  Invoices can be authorised for payment at the time of entry, or this can be done later.  In the latter case, the Creditors package allows you to optionally view supplier invoice lines by job when authorizing invoices for payment. 
There is a very nice facility to facilitate making payments on the 20th of the month (or whenever).  On occasions when you are pressed for cash-flow, you can easily juggle the total amount that will be paid, by selecting and de-selecting various invoices that are due.  It supports electronic payment by direct credit through banking software packages from banking institutions, and will raise matching emailed remittance advices itemising all invoices that are covered by the associated payment.  For those suppliers that are not paid by direct credit, the Creditors module will ask for the first (and last) cheque number, print a cheque writing report, and produce printed remittance advices (nicely sorted in cheque number order) for use with window envelopes.  The payment process raises matching payment transactions for the General Ledger.  (The module does not include a cheque printing facility at this stage, but we are very open to doing this in the future if there is sufficient demand for it.)
There are a number of useful management reports.  It even has a facility to automatically reconcile transactions with their matching General Ledger entries, and identify any exceptions.

General Ledger

With the 2006 Version, we now have a Windows General Ledger package.  This integrates nicely with all our other modules, and has advanced capabilities, such as support for extended account codes (which can contain systematic codes for things like Office, Division, or Department.
Our software will link with a number of other popular General Ledger products on the market. These include e AccPac, Attache, and MYOB. It does this by generating an appropriate transaction file ready for importing into the General Ledger package as a batch, whenever you wish to do so.
