The flexibility and accurate decision-making capabilities of our software will meet and exceed your expectations.

General Ledger

The general ledger portion of IDS?s Accounting module makes it easy to organize your transactions. The IDS Accounting package allows you to compare your company?s monthly performance to past performances in order to identify trends and possible outcomes. Plus, you have the option of budgeting information for each account, and then comparing the budget to the actual financial performance of your company. You might also wish to export the information to other programs, in order to allow for a more extensive analysis. This is a simple process, and one that is fully supported by the IDS Accounting module.

Understanding that software rarely works as a ?one size fits all? solution, the general ledger portion of IDS?s Accounting module is easily customized to fit your specific needs. For starters, month and year-end routines are flexible. Apply adjustments and close your books when it?s convenient for you. You can also choose from a variety of reports, offering you great flexibility in presenting the information.

Accounts Receivable

Like the General Ledger section of the Accounting package, the Accounts Receivable function is simple to operate, and easy to customize to your personal business needs.

Straightforward invoice and check forms simplify the entry of receivables and payments, and can be personalized with your logo or a custom message. Payments in various forms are easily accommodated ? check, cash, or credit card are all accepted, and the terminal reconciliation report summarizes all funds received for the day.

There are a number of automatic features that have been designed to simplify the operation of your business and save you time. Statements are prepared for some or all customers with outstanding balances, and customer labels for invoices can be created to your specifications. Plus, it?s simple to schedule bank deposits that fit your banking schedule.

Receive, track, and apply customer deposits, and monitor multiple Accounts Receivable accounts by separating account information into as many categories as are necessary.

And finally, offsetting receivables means adjustments are cleared from your receivable records so they no longer show on the extensive array of reports available to aid in analyzing your receivable operation.

The software?s adaptability shows through in many ways. Its flexible invoicing capability means that invoices can be modified as needed. Adjustments and corrections are easily entered, and comments can be easily added for auditing purposes. Plus, service charges can be added to outstanding receivables as a percentage of the amount owed.

Accounts Payable

Like the Accounts Receivable section of the Accounting module, Accounts Payable is designed with the user in mind. Accurately record and track accounts, and enter, modify, or delete invoices. The handy comments feature helps you keep track of changes that have been made to an invoice.

The Accounts Payable function is also built to save you time, thereby increasing productivity. There?s no need to create invoices every month. Simply input the information once, and have checks generated monthly. And for your convenience, you have the choice of printing checks singly or in batches.

Making payments is made as easy as possible by IDS?s Accounting module. For starters, you can use multiple payable accounts for tracking purposes. Credit memos are easily handled, and you are given the option of applying vendor notes against outstanding payables. You also have the option of applying expenses to your choice of fiscal periods ? assuming, of course, that the fiscal period you?re considering hasn?t yet been closed. Full details are outlined on the remittance slip. And you can choose from a number of payment types and bank accounts.
