TABS GENERAL ACOUNTS SYSTEM >> DEBTORS LEDGER

Product Overview

This module controls the Accounts Receivable functions for an organisation. Invoices may be raised directly into the TABS Debtors Ledger, or via other TABS modules (ie Stock Control, Time & Materials, etc), with optional allocations to the TABS General Ledger. Cash receipting is performed in the TABS Cashbook module.

The system maintains transactions in an Open-item format (ie transactions are retained in detail until fully accounted for). Once an invoice has been completely accounted for, details are transferred to History. Comprehensive enquiry and reporting facilities (on outstanding and historical transactions), allows timely and accurate reporting of the organisation accounts receivable position.
