From the Manufacturer
An easy-to-use, entry-level solution that's ideal for start-ups, Peachtree First Accounting 2006 automates billing and payments, and provides basic accounting tools with 35+ business reports. If you're moving from paper to PC, this is the solution to help you transition to a more automated accounting environment.
Features:
- Control, choice, and flexibility: with Peachtree, you can have up to 13 periods in a fiscal year, and keep transaction detail open for two fiscal years.
- Quick-entry account register: Account transaction entry is easier and faster with the account register. The format looks as familiar as your checkbook register with the ability to drill down for more detail.
- Rapid-access reports: Save time by running key reports right from your most frequently used screens such as invoicing and purchasing! Information is already pre-filtered so that you have single-click access to the information you need.
- Year-end wizard: save time and follow the correct steps during the critical process of closing your fiscal year.
- Display customer balance on invoices: On the quotes, orders, and invoicing screen, you can see your customer's current balance credit limit and credit status. You can even print their balance on forms for better customer service.
- Track your payment statuses: Instantly know which purchases or invoices are paid in full, partially paid, past due, or unpaid so you can easily stay on top of who owes you and who you owe. Plus, use payment status tracking to view partial payment information and net due for any invoice.
- Customer statements: use statements for billing your customers with detail from invoices, credit memos, and payments automatically printed on the statements.
- Display customer balance on key screens: View your customer's current balance, credit status, and current credit limit on the quote, sales order, invoicing, and credit-memo screens. You can easily run a report of invoices and payments received and print out balances for improved customer service.
- Receive payments: Track each invoice until it's paid, even drill down to the detail in one click, and see how your receipts affect your balance. You also have the ability to print receipts detailing items sold and payments received upon recording time of sale payments.
- Easily void invoices: Voiding invoices is as easy as voiding checks! Voiding an invoice reverses out the transaction instead of deleting it. It will automatically update your balances and aging reports, while keeping an audit trail of the original transaction.
- Credit memos: Easily create credit memos for your customers by linking to outstanding invoices. Just choose the invoice to apply to, record the amount returned, and you're done! You can even track return-authorization numbers.
- Pay your bills: Write your checks and pay your bills as if you were working in your own checkbook. Simply select which vendors and bills to pay, even review the invoice detail in one click, and print the checks--task done!
- Write checks fast: Write checks with a simplified screen that looks like the manual checks you're used to. And the split screen feature shows "behind the screens" allocations for multi-account tracking just like a personal finance system.
- Create vendor credit memos: Track returns to your vendors with easy-to-use vendor credit memos. Just choose the invoice to apply to, record the amount returned, and you're done! You can even track return-authorization numbers.
