End of month processing tips

1. Identify or nominate WHO should be doing certain tasks
   If you break up your tasks between users, then the job becomes easier. Naturally some tasks need to be synchronised.
2. Identify WHEN each check or task should be performed for your business
   Some tasks must be done before others, and some tasks can be done in advance. If you understand the purpose of each task, then you will understand how they will become dependent upon each other. The order shown in this document is broadly the order that should be used. For example, you must reconcile your Bank account before you produce Customer statements so that you can process all customer receipts (where they haven’t sent you a remittance advice).
3. Customise the end of month process for your business
   Don’t blindly follow this document! Use this as a guide and understand what you are trying to achieve at the end of each month. Some business will require special checks, such as reconciling directors’ loan accounts, transferring regular inter-company funds or checking foreign currency exchange rates.
4. Set up buttons on your toolbar
   By setting up buttons that identify the key reports or process that you want to run for your end of month processing, then the job will be made much easier. You can use the Accentis Enterprise toolbar to create a special End of Month toolbar tab, containing a row of buttons representing the various tasks or reports that need to be run. Every task in the end of month processing will relate to either a report or a function in Accentis Enterprise, and so can be represented by a button.
