Spokane Software Systems Modules

General Ledger Module

Spokane Software Systems has been providing quality data processing and consulting to the agricultural industry throughout the U.S. since 1975. We offer proven accounting, sales automation and management information systems currently in use in over 90 installations nationwide.

With our General Ledger module, you can design your own chart of accounts -- up to a 15 digit account number with additional 5 separator characters allowed. Up to five levels of sub-totaling are provided within each major chart of account category for your convenience.

The general ledger (G/L) is updated by interactive posting from various subsidiary systems. Presently, our list of systems which post online to the general ledger include:

Accounts Payable
Accounts Receivable
Payroll
Grower Accounting
Invoicing
Packout/Pool Accounting
Account Sale Processing
Crop & Job Costing
Cannery System

You have the ability to continue work in the subsystems for up to six months into the future, when you are unable to close the general ledger on a concurrent basis. In addition, an optional 12 or 13 annual accounting period cycle capability is provided.

A Recurring Journal Entry feature is provided, along with normal Journal Entry capabilities. You also have online, real-time inquiry into actual current account balances and detail transactions.

A broad range of financial statements is available on demand. These can be run at any time for the current month -- for up to five additional months into the future -- as well as the month just prior to the current month. These reports include:

Trial Balance & Working Trial Balance
Detail and Summary Balance Sheet and Income Statements
Detail and Summary Budget to Actual Comparative Financial Statements

There are two optional formats for the financial statements:

The traditional sequential presentation of account totals, proceeding from the detail account level, with varying levels of subtotals as you go along.
A presentation of summary statements with supporting detail schedules. With this option, there is the ability to load in monthly production figures and hours, as well as showing per unit cost statistics by account with the dollar totals.

A broad range of transaction listings for account review and audit purposes is provided. The listings include:

Analysis of account transaction activity
Analysis of journal entry posting
Detail general ledger report by account number, showing balance forward, individual postings, and ending balance.

Each of these can be selected (where appropriate) by:

Single Account
Single Month
All Accounts
All Months
Current Year, Prior Months

A limited report generator that is available allows you to place only selected accounts on one of our standard financial report formats. This allows you to present certain accounts together which have a common basis for some kind of comparison, but which are not placed sequentially in the regular chart of accounts.

Retention on the system is available for as long as your disk storage will permit. This includes all GL transactions for as many prior years as you wish. Our standard financial statements compare current year actual figures with the prior year actual figures. But, you would have available to you via the "transaction listings" detailed information for as many years as you consider necessary.
