BUSINESS PACK – An Overview
The Business Pack is designed to extend the flexibility of Budgets Get Real to a small business setting.
The result is an extremely simple and time saving method for preparing your accounts, managing cashflow and budgets, and producing Business Activity Statements.
The Business Pack adds the following:
– The ability to export your database as a text report or in a comma / tab delimited format (or .csv). This applies even if you chose not to enable extended business code reporting.
– Extended business code reporting through additional business codes and descriptions that may be attached to each transaction.This later feature is optional and must be activated to use.
Each transaction can be assigned an additional code – it can be used as a taxation code, sales analysis code or other dissection code. Codes can be grouped to provide very powerful, custom reports, and it can quickly prepare the required details for entry onto the Australian BAS form.
Upon import codes are automatically applied to transactions originating from selected “code enabled” accounts. This allows you to separate your personal accounts from your business accounts. A default code can be applied to each Income / Expense category.
Two extra descriptions (for use in reports) are provided for each transaction – Reminders / Memorandum. Typical uses are Invoice Numbers, sales and purchase references.
Changes to base Budgets GetReal application
While BGR is based on a robust double-entry accounting engine its primary focus was to make the interface as simple as possible for personal use and minimise the time to enter and categorise transactions by use of flexible importing coupled with artificial intelligence.
The base Budgets Get Real application transparently interfaces with this module providing the required support once the Small Business module is activated.
Users who chose not to activate the additional Business Codes still have access to the Export facility.
Users may wonder why there are no special Profit & Loss, Budget or comparison reports are included with the Business pack. These reports are included in the basic application and can be accessed from the Reports section of the sidebar menu.
