The problem
What goes wrong without it
Invoices live in one file, bank statements in another, and the month-end report is a spreadsheet someone rebuilds by hand. Numbers differ between departments and nobody is sure which is current.
The solution
How Accounting works in SmartERP
Accounting works on the same records as sales, purchasing and inventory. A confirmed order becomes an invoice, a received delivery becomes a vendor bill, and every posting lands in one set of ledgers.
Main features
What you can do with Accounting
Customer invoices and credit notes
Create invoices from sales orders or directly, send them by email and follow payment status.
Vendor bills and payments
Register bills from purchase orders, schedule payments and track what is due.
Bank and cash
Import or enter bank statements and match them against invoices, bills and payments.
Ledgers and journals
Chart of accounts, journals, taxes, fiscal periods and a full audit trail of postings.
Financial reports
Balance sheet, profit and loss, trial balance, aged receivables and payables, and VAT figures from your postings.
Ethiopian chart of accounts
New Ethiopian companies can start from the Ethiopian chart of accounts that comes with SmartERP. Confirm the structure with your accountant.
Workflow
How the work flows
Each step hands its data to the next, so nothing is typed twice.
Order confirmed
A confirmed sale or purchase is the trigger.
Invoice or bill
Generated from the order, reviewed and posted.
Payment
Registered against the invoice or bill.
Bank match
Statement lines reconcile with payments.
Reports
Ledgers and reports update from the same entries.
