Deliver pay stubs by email, or print them out.

Vacation and sick leave tracking

Set up AccountEdge to automatically accrue vacation and sick time, and then deduct that time as it’s used to provide your employees with a running total of available time off. Use the Accrual Balance reports to provide a quick overview of time used and time remaining and add notes within the Leave Tracking Information module to further define what the time was used for.

Inventory

Manage your inventory

AccountEdge’s powerful Inventory command center allows for total inventory control: multiple pricing levels, kit-building and negative inventory.

Screenshot.

Receiving inventory

When a shipment of inventory arrives, not all of the goods always come in at once. AccountEdge lets you place an order, receive inventory against the order, track what inventory is still outstanding to be received, and create a bill for the outstanding goods, all while maintaining a connection with the original purchase order.

Buying details

Track buying details for your items like standard cost, last purchase price, and units of measure when purchasing. You can link a primary vendor to each item for reorders, and a minimum level before you want an alert to tell you to restock.

Create selling details, including base selling price, selling units of measure, and 6 pricing levels with 5 quantity breaks each for a total of 30 different selling prices for each of your items.

Count inventory

Open Count Inventory from the command center to quickly adjust the quantities of your items so they match the actual quantities in stock. If you use locations, you can group your inventory list by item or by location. Screenshot.

More ways to track information about your items

Inventory locations

Whether inventory items are organized by bin, on shelves, or in different warehouses, you can find out how many you have and where they are by location. Use the Move Items window to shift your inventory from place to place, and even build reports sorted by location to learn sales, purchase prices, and more. Screenshot.

Item locations

Build kits

AccountEdge automates the build process, making it easy to combine multiple items and build them into a finished item with Auto-build. You can set minimum levels so that when an item necessary for building another starts running low, you will be given an alert that you need to replenish that item. Screenshot.

Auto build

Enhanced search of the items list

AccountEdge comes with an enhanced search that lets you search by a number of fields. For example, choose to search by Item Name and only items that contain the keyword you use will show up, saving you the pain of the old search and scroll technique.
