The Top 8 Modules
1. Sales Ledger
The Datafile Sales Ledger is designed to meet a wide range of needs whilst retaining ease of use. The Sales Ledger has an account for each customer and each customer carries all the transactions for that customer – their sales invoices, credit notes and payments received – together with an extensive reporting suite to allow you to analyse your sales and customers and assist with planning and decision making.
5. Works Order Processing
Works Order Processing, also known as Bill of Materials, is an application designed for companies that manufacture or assemble products for customers and for stock. However, different companies will have widely differing requirements, and the application is therefore highly user-configurable whilst retaining simplicity of use.
2. Purchase Ledger
Keep all the transactions purchase invoices, credit notes and payments securely under each supplier.
You can also use the range of reports to assist with planning and decision making.
6. Stock Control
Control over stock is an extremely important aspect for any company whose revenue depends on manufacturing and/or selling goods. A considerable proportion of a company’s capital base may be invested in stock and the valuation of stock can make a huge difference in profitability. The Datafile Stock Control application is designed to meet a wide range of requirements whilst retaining the ease of use of the best systems.
3. Nominal Ledger
The Datafile Nominal Ledger is the backbone of the Datafile Accounting and Management Information System. The Nominal Ledger, sometimes known as the General Ledger, is the main accounting record for your business having accounts for current and fixed assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, gains and losses.
7. Sales Order Processing & PO Processing (2 modules)
Sales and purchase Order Processing are important operations for any company, but the requirements can differ widely from one company to another. One company may have stock, another not; one company may wish to process orders individually, another in a batch; one may print acknowledgements and delivery notes but email invoices, another may combine its delivery note and invoice processing.
4. Payroll
The Datafile Payroll application can either be used on its own or as an integral part of your Accounts and Management software with links to the Nominal Ledger for accumulating employee costs, and Job Costing for the accumulation of posted timesheets to the employee for salary calculations. Always subject to HMRC compliance and legislative changes – users are kept up-to-date via the Gold Software Maintenance plan.
8. Contract & Job Costing
Contract, or Job Costing allows for the tracking of costs associated with a specific contract with a customer. Costs can be grouped under sub categories such as material costs, labour, direct expenses, overheads or sub-contractor costs.
Budgets can be assigned to the contract as a whole or analysed to the different categories. Committed Costs, Actual Costs and Revenues are all updated from the Purchase Order Processing, Sales Order Processing, Purchase Ledger, Sales Ledger, Stock Control and Timesheet systems in real time allowing for comparisons between budgets and actual costs.
