Cetec ERP

Accounts Payable Module

• Direct integration with material receipts and outsourcing POs for accuracy and reconciliation
• Automatic identification of invoices to be paid
• Easily view all PO receipts of material that have been received into stock but not yet billed (receipt transaction: DB inventory / CR Accrued Liabilities; voucher transaction: DB Accrued Liabilities / CR Accounts Payable.
• Automated voucher process leveraging three-way match (between PO, receipt, and bill)
• Voucher workflow/approvals — configurable voucher approvals process to manage A/P clerical voucher entry versus voucher approval and payment processing. The voucher is entered by the A/P clerk, and the system attempts a three-way match (between PO, receipt, and invoice) to unlock approval. If there is no match, then the voucher is manually or automatically queued via Workflow to Accounting mgmt for approval, and approval unlocks the ability to pay down the voucher. Workflow configuration exists to either always explicitly require voucher approval or to never require it.
• Aging reports based on the due date and/or invoice date
• Automatic segmentation of intercompany activities from trade payables
• Automatic transactions across the ledger, from voucher to payment to check run

Accounts Receivable Module

• Process credit card prepayments and standard payments directly within ERP (via Bluepay)

Bank Reconcile & Credit Card Import Module

• Automated bank reconciliation process: import transactions and match them to existing transactions in the system.

Once all transactions are matched, the linked system transactions will be set to Reconciled. 
• Credit card transaction import — Import credit card transactions and process A/P in batch as part of the voucher process.

Configurable Costing Methods Module

• Actual / FIFO Costing — Cetec ERP supports and recommends an actual costing methodology, whereby COGS postings pull from the actual value of any receipts of material that were consumed against the invoice transaction.
• Average costing — Cetec ERP supports the average costing methodology, whereby COGS postings pull from the material average cost to drive the value on the transaction as opposed to the actual receipt cost of material consumed on an invoice. Cetec ERP will also simply track the average cost value of parts per inventory warehouse location, irrespective of whether or not that value is used to post to the G/L at invoicing.
• Standard Costing — Cetec ERP supports standard costing methodology and automatic purchase price variance posting to the journal and respective financial reports between standard cost and purchase order receipt cost (at time of receipt of product) and standard cost and actual material invoice cost (at time of invoicing).

• Profit and loss statement
• Balance sheet
• Statement of cash flows

• Multi-company financials — consolidate financial data across multiple different companies or financial entities into a single reporting instance.

General Accounting Module

• Foreign currency & exchange rates — select any​“home currency” that will drive your general ledger and primary financials; this will be the default currency for your transaction and will also represent the currency symbol used by default across the system. Then, set up any number of separate currencies; any active currencies you set up will appear in select boxes for you to choose from when performing transactions. Exchange rates may be defined for any active currency you have; Cetec ERP runs an automatic daily peg to update those exchange rates per the global exchange rate database.
