Exchequer Enterprise Overview
Exchequer Enterprise, the flagship product of Exchequer Software, engineered from an unrivalled pedigree, is one of the most proven, robust and established financial management systems available today, consistently scooping the top industry accolades, including multiple Best Mid-Range Accounting Software awards. “It’s not what you do …… It’s the way that you do it.”
You really need to see Enterprise to appreciate what we mean by the above statement, how its logical and intuitive design will reflect and mould into the way you do business, making life easier for everyone involved in your accounting processing and production.
During your search for the right accounting system, you will review many brochures, each giving endless lists of similar features, which on paper make all accounting systems appear the same. This does nothing to help you decide which one is best for your organisation. The crucial point when evaluating accounting software is “it’s not what it does, it’s the way that it does it”, which makes a difference between an accounting system that is a pleasure to use and an asset to your business, and one that is a burden and a liability.
Like most accounting software suppliers, Exchequer Software offers a range of products, from single user up to 100+ user client/server systems, with single currency, dual or multi-currency versions.
However, unlike other vendors, Exchequer Software has engineered its Enterprise product to provide all of these variants through one application, with one set of underlying source code. This means that as your business evolves, grows or branches out into new territories, you will not need to change your application, which in turn negates any need to re-import data or re-train all of your staff when the time comes to upgrade.
- Exchequer Enterprise provides total control of your business, with a single totally integrated system with optional financial, distribution, costing, reporting and e-commerce modules
- Allows you to expand in the future without the need to upgrade or change to another product range by offering single-user, multi-user and client/server versions of the same system
- Capitalises on Microsoft’s technology and .net initiative to provide an industry standard development platform for integration, interrogation, customisation and reporting
- Designed originally as a multi-currency system, available also in single or dual currency versions with flexible options to upgrade as your business requirements change

System Wide features
Exchequer Enterprise – System Wide Features
NAVIGATING AROUND THE SYSTEM
It is vitally important, especially in an accounting environment, that data entry is fast, flexible and above all user-friendly. Exchequer Enterprise has been specifically designed to suit all levels of users, from novice to power users who need to jump around all areas quickly.
Navigating your way around Exchequer Enterprise can be achieved using either the drop-down menus, the speed buttons, or by using the function key short-cuts – whichever suits your style.
The context-sensitive help in Exchequer Enterprise is second to none. There is a “What’s this?” help facility on every field and button within the system, together with tutorials, guides and examples.
OPEN PERIOD
Unlike most accounting systems, Exchequer Enterprise does not have time consuming period-end or year-end routines, which often destroy the valuable data that you have entered.
It keeps history for as long as you want, and you can go back to view or print reports for any previous period or year. Imagine the power of being able to draw upon your rich historical data for analysis and comparison, or being able to start a new year without having to wait for time-consuming year-end adjustments.
Users with the highest level of security can also post transactions to previous periods and all balances are automatically brought forward.
DAYBOOKS
All transactions are entered via a ‘daybook’, where they can be held before being posted to the general ledger.
This gives all the advantages of live updates of customer, supplier and stock balances, with the flexibility to review and amend transactions (with strict password control) before committing them to the general ledger.
Each daybook has an “Auto” tab, which is used for generating recurring transactions, in the sales, purchase and general ledgers. Ideal for rental or contract invoicing, direct debits, standing order and regular journals, such as depreciation, pre-payments and accruals.
The daybook is a good example of how Exchequer Enterprise has combined several areas of the system into one single window, making it simple to navigate and therefore easier to use. In most systems, sales invoicing, cash receipts, order entry and setting up regular invoices would all be performed in different parts of the system. In Enterprise, the ergonomic design contains all of these functions within one ‘sales daybook’ window, using the tabs at the top to separate each area.
FUTURE-PROOF
Exchequer Enterprise has been developed specifically for the 32-bit Windows environment and can be used on multiple workstation platforms across a network. Due to the technology upon which Enterprise is built, the system automatically adapts to the different look and feel of the various Windows operating systems available.
SECURITY
Virtually every single option and button within Exchequer Enterprise can be password controlled. Rather than being ‘greyed-out’, the options will disappear completely from view if a user does not have access.
e-TECHNOLOGY
Exchequer Enterprise embraces the power of electronic communication and the Internet to provide a number of productivity benefits to your organisation.
Transactions, reports, statements and remittance advices can be emailed as well as faxed and printed. You can also set-up business alerts which will send an email or SMS text message to a pre-defined list of people whenever a certain event occurs, such as credit limits exceeded, stock levels low, orders received or cash levels low.
You also have the option of implementing an authorisation workflow system for remote managers, allowing them to authorise requisitions, orders or invoices via email.
Exchequer Enterprise will also run across the Internet, allowing you to centralise your global operations by providing access to the system from any Internet connection anywhere in the world.
