GENERAL LEDGER |
The
General Ledger is the heart of any accounting system
it is where all bookkeeping and accounting
transactions are received, summarized and processed. It
provides the financial reports which are of greatest
value to the decision maker. The MAS 90® For Windows®
General Ledger provides this crucial information and is
powerful, flexible and management-informative, yet easy
to use and operate.The General Ledger module is so
flexible that you can maintain the same account title and
numbering scheme you have been accustomed to since you
started your business. Posting to any future period can
be performed from general journals or from other modules
without closing the current period. The General Ledger
also provides for extensive history and budget
information. You can retain activity by period,
transaction history for up to ninety-nine years and three
separate budget categories current budget, revised
budget and a user-defined budget. Virtually unlimited
financial reporting capabilities are available from the
General Ledger. Since many companies require the
capability to design their own financial reports, we have
created a powerful, easy-to-use custom financial
reporting capability.The Data Exchange feature in the
General Ledger module allows you to import and/or export
the Chart of Accounts, budgets, and transaction data
directly from, or to an external file. This feature even
allows you to transfer General Ledger postings from one
company location to another, or use a spreadsheet to work
on a budget. |
