Eliminate Data Re-Entry - Become an Accounting Machine!

Written by Plus Sales | Fri, Aug 05, 2011 @ 11:50 PM

While we serve customers across many different sectors (mining, non-profits, distributors, etc…), each of whom use Accpac ERP for divergent functions, there is one thing that unites them. Almost every customer spends a lot of time manually re-entering data into Accpac from a spreadsheet or another external application. Some of the most common scenarios we encounter are:

Manually recording journal entries from an external Payroll solution, such as ADP

Re-keying data from a customized Access program

Creating different budget sets in Excel, and then typing one of more of them back into Accpac

A major customer or vendor requires you to submit orders or quotes through a special format, and then re-enter it into Accpac

All of the above processes are labour-intensive, and can easily result in errors in data (re)entry. There is a better way to handle these sorts of requirements. Our team of consultants can help you automate these procedures, using various approaches, ranging from the fairly low-tech, such as creating an import/export template, to the more advanced, such as the development of a custom macro that will run the process on a schedule, and provide you with an error/exception report.

If your organization is struggling with any of the issues described above, contact me at brian@plus.ca to discuss your specific problems, and we can come up with a solution that suits your requirement and budget.
