ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE Accounts Receivable(AR) lets you bill customers when orders are shipped and record payments as they are received. Specify the creation of invoices through the order release process, which will enable you to reduce billing for a different quantity than was actually shipped. Customer invoices can be previewed, printed on laser or continuous preprinted forms, faxed or e-mailed right to your customers. With Accounts Receivable, you can stay informed on who is buying what and who is paying on time.
ACCOUNTS PAYABLE Accounts Payable(AP) lets you enter vendor invoices for purchases that you make and then write checks for the invoices you need to pay. This software can generate payments for all invoices due, those for a particular vendor or only for specific invoices. When a vendor calls you about an invoice, you'll have all the information you need at your fingertips - information that can be saved for as long as you need it. Accounts Payable enables you to update both purchase orders in Purchase Management, as well as actual job costs. Adjustments are made if the purchase price does not match the invoiced price. With Accounts Payable, you’ll stay informed on much you owe and when you need to pay it.
GENERAL LEDGER General Ledger(GL) processes and posts all entries created by Job Management, Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable and Payroll, and manual entries made directly in GL. A chart of accounts makes it convenient and effortless to control how you want the system to report on your financial activity. You can also export general ledger data to a spreadsheet when you have special requirements.
MULTI-COMPANY MANAGEMENT Whether through acquisition or organic growth, more and more organizations are battling with the complexities that come with managing multiple business entities. Epicor knows that managing dissimilar businesses brings unique challenges and opportunities with respect to consolidation for increased control and reduced operational cost, enterprise-wide visibility, inter-company supply chain management, and financial consolidation. To help today's manufacturers and distributors, Epicor offers powerful multi-company functionality, and full multi-plant and multi-warehouse operations.
CURRENCY MANAGEMENT Currency Management automates the process of buying and selling in foreign currencies. With tracking of default currencies and extensive exchange rate tables, manual transactions are reduced. Lock in transactions at a specific rate with automatic gain or loss reporting, minimizing the guesswork involved in handling foreign transactions. With Vantage and Vista, the currency symbol is displayed notifying the user of the currency being used.
FIXED ASSETS Effective asset management is crucial to success. Fixed Assets enables you to record, monitor and depreciate your fixed assets for optimal utilization. You’ll save time thanks to its flexibility and simplicity.
PAYROLL Payroll manages the processing of employee paychecks and performs necessary company and governmental reporting. Complete employee information and memo fields enable you to track employee personnel information (for example, performance reviews and outside training). Because payroll is so closely integrated with Job Management and Manufacturing Execution, you'll normally only have to review your payroll entries, make necessary adjustments, print checks and post. With Payroll, there's no need to outsource your payroll activities. Now, it is so easy you can do it yourself.
HUMAN RESOURCES Epicor Human Resources(HR) is supported by Open4® and is complete management software tool used for streamlining your HR activities. It efficiently administers applicant tracking, benefit programs, workforce training and development, complicated union dues calculations and benefits, and changing governmental regulations including EEO, VETS, OSHA, and Affirmative Action Program (AAP) reporting. Online communication over your company's intranet keeps your employees informed on benefits, training, changes and events. An add-on module to Epicor HR is the Employee Self Service (eSS) portal which was created for employee satisfaction as well as operational efficiency.
CREDIT CARD PROCESSING Many companies have created various Credit Card payments methods in an attempt to not only offer greater flexibility in payment options to their customers, but also to improve their cash position.
