commitment accounting for accpac
*********************************
for organisations that need to manage actual expenditure against budgets tightly,
commitment accounting for accpac provides invaluable financial management
information.

committed costs are the value of orders raised but for which goods/services have
not yet been received. reporting committed costs provides financial information
earlier than "budget and actuals", allowing management more time to make the
appropriate decisions.

commitment accounting for accpac works by calculating the value of outstanding

purchase orders lines, and transferring these values into one of the accpac gl
budget sets (budget set 5 by default), so that it is available for any or all gl
reports. this process can be run as frequently as required. reports available
include summary and detail reports as well as an audit trail report.

commitment accounting for accpac is suitable for many types of organizations, but
is especially useful for government departments (national/federal, state or
local), educational institutions and health providers.

commitment accounting for accpac requires the gl and po modules. multi-currency

support is included.

commitment accounting enterprise edition version 5.0 and higher have been released
- these versions have been fully developed in the accpac sdk, so are available on
all the databases/platforms that accpac is supported on.

with a comprehensive number of sites worldwide, we continue to develop and support

users requirements.
 the fuel distribution software is a vertical market application developed to meet
the complex requirements of fuel distributors. when combined with the accpac
advantage series accounting software, this provides a complete solution for
companies in the fuel distribution industry.
===================
the core fuel distribution module includes the following components:

advanced date-based pricing and discounting

account set isolation and configuration parameters
inventory location configuration
multiple transaction types
batch based transaction pre-processing
complex fuelcard processing logic
national account handling
complex invoice statement
advanced inventory uom configuration
off-road tax credit reporting
local body tax collection and reporting
granular security
email notifications
other modules that are available for fuel distribution are:

demand and transportation planning

this module provides fleet delivery planning functionality. deliveries are

recorded from multiple sources, including:

standing schedules
customer orders
demand planning using predictive calculations based on customer tank meter reads,
which signals when a delivery will be required for each customer site
the suggested dispatch schedule can then be manipulated by the operator to derive
the final dispatch schedule for each shift, as well as load requirements. delivery
schedule and load information can then be produced, either in hard copy or
transmitted to each vehicle�s on-board system.

on board systems

the on board module uses touchscreen technology to provide functions to the

driver, including recording of delivery data, meter reads, etc. data can be
transmitted real-time between the vehicle and head office, via wireless (subject
to network coverage limitations). alternatively daily upload/downloads can be
handled.

retail despatching

specifically for retail based mini-tanker operations in a reactive dispatcher

environment, this allows for fast entry and recall of customer delivery details
and can be modified to integrate with tapi based solutions for screen-popping
application.

site management

also referred to as customer inventory control system (cics), this sub-module

provides the ability to collect tank dips and pump readings to ascertain that no
tank seepage is occurring, this also includes the ability for usage forecasting
and scheduling functionality.
field asset management

integrated with norming fixed assets module, this manages distributor owned
equipment provisioned at customer sites.

fuel company reconciliations

the fuel distribution reconciliation module contains a significant sub-system and

interface to record and reconcile complex transactions between distribution
companies and fuel companies. driven from posting of batch transactions, loading
dockets (invoices to ap vendor account) and delivery invoices (credits to ap
vendor account where delivery to fuel company direct customer) and delivery
freight charges (invoice to ar cartage account). in addition, transactions entered
directly in accpac ledgers against vendor and customer accounts are extracted and
managed in reconciliation module.

internal issues allows organisations that operate stockrooms to issue stock to

user departments.
===============
costs for the inventory issued are charged directly to the cost centre�s expense
account
uses accpac ic adjustments as the underlying transaction type.
internal issues also integrates with purchasing workflow, which provides the
following additional functionality:

approved requisitions can create internal issues transactions (if there is

sufficient quanity on hand)
configurable options for creation of internal issues � either created
automatically (individually) as part of the workflow, or by stores in bulk
internal issues has been fully developed in the accpac sdk, so is available on all
the databases/platforms that accpac advantage series is supported on. internal
issues is available for all editions of accpac advantage series. it is available
for aas version 5.1 and above.

purchasing workflow provides an easy-to-use requisitioning program, and a

powerful, configurable workflow engine that supports many of the workflows and
controls that organizations typically require.

requisitioning

easy to use requisition screen � many fields are auto-populated

supports stocked and non-stocked items
supports approved vendors model (at the item level)
approval console - easy to use, single screen for all approvals/declining
management console - easy to use, single screen for enquiry by managers, for all
cost centres that they have access to
configurable options for creation of purchase orders from requisitions � either
created by purchasing in bulk or automatically (individually) as part of the
workflow
highly configurable security options
ability to integrate into the internal issues module
workflow engine

configurable rules, routings and authority levels

supports multiple authorisations on a single transaction
supports gl budget checking
e-mail notification functionality is included (smtp e-mail, so supports exchange,
groupwise, lotus notes)
event log - an event log of all events within purchasing workflow is retained
escalation - overdue action reporting is available, as well as programs to
automatically escalate all overdue transactions.
purchasing workflow has been fully developed in the accpac sdk, so is available on
all the databases/platforms that accpac advantage series is supported on.

purchasing workflow is available for all editions of accpac advantage series. it

is available for aas version 5.1 and above. the purchase orders module is
required.

accpac advantage series superior design allows for custom modules and extensions
to accpac core modules and interfaces to provide a totally integrated customer
solution.

this approach has advantages over the common approach of developing satellite
databases that contain additional information outside the accpac environment, some
of the many advantages include:-

removing data synchronisation procedure requirements in satellite systems, this

can easily be grossly under-estimated
ability to define extended add, change and delete logic to maintain integrity
synchronised backup and restore procedures
able to extend accpac core reports easily and report from single database
able to take advantage of accpac infrastructure enhancements
removing the overhead of managing such satellite systems
extensions of accpac advantage series core views mean that additional data and
functional requirements are fully exposed to the advanced accpac advantage series
rich infrastructure features such as macros, import/export and reporting.

pts has a substantial amount of experience in developing software using the accpac
advantage series sdk, both from our own products and existing commissioned
projects on behalf of clients and solution providers. pts possess the skills and
knowledge to develop the most comprehensive solutions for customers

if you require extra functionality to be provided to the accpac advantage series

software, please feel free to contact us to discuss the requirement.
