SunSystems Financials SunSystems Order Fulfilment

 

SunSystems Financials modules include the follwoing:

Ledger Accounting Fixed Assets Corporate Allocation

Within Financials all modules are completely integrated, meaning for example fixed asset depreciation transactions will be posted directly into the general ledger. This is so-called single ledger concept. SunSystems Financials maintains all of your accounting details within a single, integrated ledger. You do not require separate receivables and payables ledgers, project ledger, or fixed asset register.
This integration and the real-time processing ensures that all accounts are always up to date and in balance. It also avoids the need for data duplication and reduces the possibility of error. The single source of financial data means that reports and inquiries reflect an accurate position at all times. The single ledger environment allows you to report across all ledgers, accounts, accounting periods and analysis codes, at any level.
All ledger entries are held in the single ledger and can be held for as long as you require. As a result there is no need to actually transfer depreciation transactions from the fixed asset module into the general ledger. Data from a single ledger is accessed by each module so that, for example, changes made in the ledger accounting module are reflected in the asset register module and in the corporate allocations module. You can specify the analysis structure that you attach to each transaction or a reference data record.
You can attach a number of analysis codes to each entry, to each account, and to an number of other useful data entities. These analysis codes allow you to extract and report on your data in many different ways, according to your business requirements. You have complete control over the analysis codes, and reporting structures.

The purpose of this document is to provide SunSystems version 4 users with the information on the new functionality introduced in SunSystems 5. It explains how to create new forms, customize the menu structure using Navigation Manager Editor, and create filters and drills. This document is supposed to be read by system administrators or advanced Sun users.
SunSystems version 5 is a new product from Systems Union. It has not only new user windows interface but also improved functionality and fundamental enhancements such as: forms, filters, and control desk, drills, customizable menus, very powerful report designer and so on. SunSystems V5 gives you a variety of flexible features, which enable you to quickly set up your system for reliable controlling, planning and analysis of your business. SunSystems version 5 provides you with the features you need to enhance the productivity of your Accounting department.
Using Form Designer (FD) you can create new forms, edit existing ones and compile them. Forms can contain many elements such as combo boxes, tab controls, drop-down list and user help text. Form Designer is a very powerful and flexible tool enabling you to create any form you like.
Unlimited number of different forms can be attached to almost any SunSystems function. For instance, you can create different forms to enter different types of accounts in Chart of Accounts function. When you run this function you can choose the appropriate form and enter the account details. Different forms are also very useful for Ledger Entry, if you need to enter a very simple transaction without any additional information, which might be asset details or transaction analysis, one form might be created for such case. Whereas for more difficult transactions more complicated forms can be created.
Once forms have been created or modified, permission levels for individual operators can be set using Form Permissions Editor and a menu entry point established via Navigation Manager Editor. The system can therefore be configured for individual users so that they only have access to the functions and data that are pertinent to their specific role.
Filter Designer (FLD) is part of the suite of user tools available with SunSystems. These user tools provide you with the ability to customize the system to reflect your data flows and terminology, and thereby seamlessly integrate SunSystems into your business.

SunSystems Purchase Management records purchase invoices received, and manages them through to approval. The Purchasing module facilitates the creation, maintenance and analysis of purchasing activities within your organization, such as the management of suppliers, and the procurement of goods and services. Purchase transactions pass through a series of stages:

You can set up your Purchasing module to use some or all of these stages for different types of transactions if appropriate, and you can specify in which order they are to be carried out. The Goods Receipt function enables you to match items ordered against those received. You can generate inquiries and reports for effective purchase management, for example, analyzing late purchase orders, outstanding purchase orders for a particular item and purchase order lines awaiting goods receipt processing.
