General Ledger System Software - Multi-Client, Multi-Company Completely Flexible G/L System
General Ledger

The General Ledger is the nerve center of any accounting system. It is used to organize and assimilate input from different areas, and give immediate effect to that input. This is the premise that underlies Datafaction's General Ledger system. Cash Receipts, Cash Disbursements, Payroll, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, General Journal input from all of these areas is immediately reflected in the General Ledger. And that input is available for on-line inquiry, journal listings or financial statements.

Our General Ledger system is designed for the multi-client, multi-company environment. You have complete flexibility to treat every client differently in terms of chart-of-accounts, financial statement format, basis of accounting, etc. And for similar clients, use of our "Prototype" concept allows complete set-up of new clients in less than 5 minutes.

Datafaction's Account Manager system is modular, so you can start out with only those modules that you need now, and be assured that as your needs grow, so will your accounting system.

The General Ledger System will help you to:
  • Generate accurate and timely financial statements.
  • Save time and reduce clerical errors by inputting all data only once.
  • Operate more efficiently, by using one powerful, flexible and easy-to-use system that will accommodate all of your different clients.
The General Ledger System Features
  • As a stand-alone module, allows cash receipts and disbursements for an unlimited number of bank accounts, in addition to an unlimited number of general journals
  • Completely flexible chart-of-accounts allows for easy conversion from your present system.
  • Prior period detailed transactions are always on-line and available, so adjusting entries can be reflected in their proper periods.
  • Divisionalization down to sub-departments, and consolidation of those levels enable you to handle even the most complex clients easily.
  • General ledger print-outs any time you want, on selected account or full ledger basis for any date range means you never have to print out 300 pages to get 30 lines of information.
  • The availability of pre-formatted financial statements for current or prior periods, in a wide variety of formats including historical comparative, budget-vs-actual, with or without ratios means you will probably never have to avail yourself of the three different report generator programs included.
  • All entries are tested for valid account numbers and for being in balance before being accepted, so you don't need edit runs prior to posting to ensure the integrity of your general ledger.
  • Balances in any number of accounts (e.g. cash accounts) may be tracked automatically, so you can always tell at the touch of a few keys what your balances are.
  • Any number of recurring journal entries - both with fixed amounts and with calculated amounts - can be set up for any client to be generated automatically, thereby saving you data entry time and reducing clerical errors.
  • Any journal entry may be designated as a Reversing Journal Entry, and the reversing entry will be created automatically on the date of your choice, thus assuring that your end-of-period accruals will be handled properly.
