- LINE ITEMS as used in the
AccountPro Invoicing and
AccountPro Purchase Order modules represent the item and line (row) on which
you entered the item.
- You may have up to 9,999 line items in an Invoice and Purchase Order.
- The 'Item' may represent a physical item, a description of service, or just plain
text.
As most businesses have different needs as to what the invoice shows to their customer,
INVOICE LINE FORMATS as used in the AccountPro Invoice module will print the details
as selected from one of the options presented in the preferences menu.
Some examples:
- Show Quantity ordered
- Show Quantity shipped
- Show Unit cost, do not show unit costs
- Show Unit price, do not show unit price
- Show Item ID, do not show item id
- etc.
Pre-defined Invoice messages consist of any number of text lines to be printed as
the last item (below the items, products, services and other lines of text already
added) you are issuing an invoice for.
When an Invoice is created (or request for quotation) any one of the pre-defined
invoice messages may be selected for printing on the Invoice.
This allows for consistency and is also a great time saver for insertion of standard
clauses or notes to be added to an Invoice.
Some examples of pre-defined invoices messages a user may define:
- All items include a 90 day warranty
- Hazardous material. Code: 1234567890
- Pricing includes discounts as qouted
Pre-defined Purchase Order messages consist of any number of text lines to be printed
as the last item (below the items, products, services and other lines of text already
added) you are issuing a purchase order (or request for quotation) for.
When a P.O. is created (or request for quotation) any one of the pre-defined purchase
order messages may be selected for printing on the P.O. or Quotation Request.
This allows for consistency and is also a great time saver for insertion of standard
clauses or notes to be added to a P.O. or Quotation Request.
Some examples of pre-defined purchase order messages a user may define:
- No deliveries before 9am or after 4pm
- Confirmation required.
- All goods must comply with...
- Call (123) 456-7890 if not in stock
Purchase-Order Line Formats are the options of details to be printed on the P.O.
A user may select from 14 pre-defined line format options.
Some examples:
- Show Quantity ordered.
- Show Unit cost, or do not show unit costs.
- Show Item ID, do not show item id.
- Show the manufacturer's or vendor's product number for the item ordered on the
P.O.
- etc.
A Purchase Order Requisition is used to obtain approval from management before issuing
a purchase order for the items and or services shown on the requisition.
Once approved, a requisition as used in the
AccountPro Purchase Order module may be turned into a purchase order with
one click.
Modular software allows you to purchase only the modules you need.
All-in-one software packages are often very limited in the amount of details they
provide. For example, the
AccountPro Invoicing Platinum module provides for seven price levels. In the
Accounts
Receivable module each Customer may be assigned one of these pricing levels.
Customer A may get pricing level 1, while Customer B gets pricing level 5. Setting
the pricing level to 0 for a customer will allow a custom price to be entered at
the time the invoice details are entered for this customer.
Any module may be purchased and run as a standalone module without the need for
any other software, or additional AccountPro Software.
Many companies are already using an all-in-one accounting package but may find that
one area of the package does not totally fulfill their needs. This is just one example
where a standalone software module more specific and detailed may fill that gap.
If multiple AccountPro modules are installed, the modules will automatically interface
with each other without any special setup.
- Windows 7, Vista, XP, 2000, Windows server 2003 & 2008 (client or server).
- Memory 512mb (preferred > 1gb) ram.
- 125mb free disk space for the first module, 25mb for each additional module.
- SVGA Monitor or better.
- Internet Connection for software downloads and upgrades (not required to run program).
Linux or MAC operating sytems are not supported.
- Certified Payroll Reports are required on most Goverment construction projects.
The contractor provides Certified Payroll Reports for specified periods to the goverment
agency responsible for the projact.
- Hours are entered into the
AccountPro Payroll module and the report printed from the
AccountPro Certified Payroll module.
Withholdings are the amounts that employers subtract from their employees' gross
pay for a variety of taxes and benefits, including Social Security and Medicare
taxes, Federal and State income taxes, health insurance premiums, retirement savings,
education contributions, union dues, etc.
- A Customer ID is use to identify the customer''s name or company name. A customer
id may be numbers and or letters (alphanumeric). For example, A-101 would be a customer
id.
- A Customer ID may have up to 12 alphanumeric characters.
- Using a Customer ID in AccountPro modules make for quicker entry and or section
of customers and is less prone to data entry errors.
- LINE ITEMS as used in the Invoicing and
Purchase Order modules represent the item and line (row) on which you entered
the item.
- You may have up to 9,999 line items in an Invoice and Purchase Order.
- The 'Item' may represent a physical item, a description of service, or just plain
text.
- The AccountPro Job Costing module keeps a history of all entries in the module.
- Tracks billings, labor, material, hours and units.
- Provides breakdown by user defined category (or division) with sub-totals for
each.
- The AccountPro Accounts Payable module calculates early payment discounts based
on terms your vendor has provided you.
- Early payment discount terms may vary for vendor to vendor.
- So while vendor A may give you a 2 percent net 10 days early payment discount
meaning... if the invoice is paid within 10 days from invoice date you will receive
a 2 percent disount for that purchase and the printed check will reflect that discount
by showing the discount amount on the check stub for each invoice (if applicable)
and subtracting it for the check amount..
- Another vendor may give you a 1 percent net 30 days early payment discount
- No calculations are neccessary by the user of the AccountPro Accounts Payable
module to automatically take the early payment discount earned when the checks are
printed.
- There is no need to select certain invoices for payment as the program will print
all checks which are due by the payment due date specfied by the vendor terms which
can be overidden by the user at time of entering the invoice into the system or
at a later date. A great time saver as many systems require you to select the invoices
for payment before you are able to print a check.
- CSV stands for Comma Separated Values, sometimes also called Comma Delimited.
A CSV file is a specially formatted plain text file which stores spreadsheet or
basic database-style information in a very simple format, with one record on each
line, and each field within that record separated by a comma.
- ASCII is the abbreviation for American Standard Code for Information Interchange.
- ASCII files are those composed of simple text information with no formatting.
- ASCII (pronounced askee) is an acronym for American Standard Code for Information
Interchange. It is a simple text format that does not use formatting specific to
any particular application. Because of this, documents saved as an ASCII (or text
file) can be used across all platforms.
- Due to the fact that the level of detail in all AccountPro modules it would not be feasable to interface with Peachtree Accounting software.
- All AccountPro modules print transaction details which may be used for entry into other systems. Details may be filtered by range.
- An import module is available to import specified master files into AccountPro.
