Accounting

Within its suite of accounting products, Sage Timberline offers the following applications.

Accounts Payable — Accounts Payable puts you in charge of the entire payables process—from the minute invoices come in your door, through the approval process, payment selection, and check printing. Invoice entry is simple and efficient with a spreadsheet entry grid that can be navigated by keyboard or mouse. Payment selection is even easier with a process that can select invoices to pay by any criteria you define. And generating vendor checks is a snap with advanced check-writing capabilities like two-party checks and customizable checks and stubs.

Accounts Receivable — Accounts Receivable gives you tools to stay in touch with clients and on top of receivables to proactively manage your cash position. Solid accounting capabilities make it simple to process cash receipts accurately and quickly. Automatically post payments to the oldest outstanding invoice or manually post individual invoices or items. Enter unapplied customer payments and miscellaneous job cost receipts all in one session. And easily issue debit and credit adjustments as needed.

Billing — Use Billing to create free-form customer invoices at any time. Or take advantage of Sage Timberline's integration to automatically produce time-and-material, cost plus, lump sum, progress billing, and unit-priced invoices based on your contracts.

Cash Management — Cash Management is an easy-to-use tool that lets you view and track cash transactions generated in Sage Timberline Accounts Payable, Payroll, Accounts Receivable, Job Cost, and Property Management applications and reconcile them with your company's bank statements and general ledger. What's more, Cash Management also simultaneously tracks your register and bank balances, giving you a simple way to stay on top of your cash flow and ensure that accounts are funded at optimum levels.

Contracts — Provided with Accounts Receivable, Contracts manages the details of your customer agreements in one convenient location to drive billings, coordinate receivables processing, and enhance change order management.

Equipment Costs — Sage Timberline's fully integrated Equipment Cost module manages the details of equipment cost, revenue and usage to help you maximize your return on investment.

Financial Statement Designer — Financial Statement Designer allows you to quickly and efficiently modify predefined financial statements or create your own custom statements from scratch. The Financial Statement Designer makes it easy to define the contents of each column, perform calculations on financial data, and print statements for current and prior periods.

General Ledger — General Ledger is Sage Timberline's storehouse for financial activity and history. Accounting information from other Sage Timberline applications flows seamlessly to General Ledger where it's stored in an account format that you customize to fit your business. There, the information is easily retrieved and reported using integrated information access tools. Tight integration ensures that subsidiary ledgers stay in balance with the general ledger, that clear audit trails lead to original activity, and that account reconciliation is fast and efficient. General Ledger's flexible accounting format allows you to maintain multiple divisions, regions or companies within the same database. And customizable reports and financial statements let you present the numbers in virtually any format required by your company or business partners.

Job Cost — Job Cost gives you complete control over commitment and change order management. Enter subcontracts and purchase orders directly into Job Cost, or import them from other programs, then track them against invoices for total control of committed costs. And manage every step of the change order process—from pending through approval—to ensure change order profitability. Using integrated information access tools, your project information is always immediately available. Interactive inquiries let employees view information—such as potential cost overruns, percent complete, and production units in place—onscreen in seconds. And customizable reports let you calculate and print information in any format you choose for in-depth project analysis.

Payroll — Payroll processes even the most complex construction payrolls automatically. And information generated in Payroll flows throughout your accounting for cost analysis.

Remote Time Entry — Remote Time Entry is an efficiency tool designed to enhance payroll productivity and labor cost management. Using Remote Time entry, labor information can be entered directly at the job site then transferred electronically to the home office for efficient posting to Payroll.
