As of 2021, Intuitive ERP is now known as Aptean Industrial ERP

General Ledger Module

The Intuitive ERP General Ledger is where all your company’s fiscal records are stored and the flow of money within your company is tracked. In addition, the GL controls financial activity and provides extensive reporting and analysis capabilities.

Intuitive ERP makes it easy to set up your chart of accounts and fiscal periods, keep your accounts up to date, close periods, manage cash flow, and produce both corporate and departmental financial statements. Intuitive multi-company capabilities, summary views, transaction-level drill down, and an unlimited number of user-defined groups and subgroups help you keep track of your company’s financial status.

General ledger transactions are generated automatically by Intuitive ERP whenever you do such things as make inventory transactions, pay vendors, receive work orders, etc. Manual and recurring journal entries can also be posted to the GL. You have complete control over when and how transactions are posted.

A complete drill-down financial statement allows you to access data to the transaction level.

Accounts Payable Module

Intuitive ERP contains a complete A/P system, including A/P invoice entry (miscellaneous and integrated to receivers), debit memos, recurring A/P, material burden, automatic and manual selection of invoices for payment, check processing and printing, and bank reconciliation.

As raw materials arrive on your dock from your vendors, invoices will also be arriving in your Accounts Payable department. Intuitive ERP provides the tools you need to enter invoice data, generate payments for vendors, and eventually reconcile your bank statement regarding the payments.

The Intuitive ERP A/P provides a method of entering invoices, matching invoices to receiving records, and assigning approval codes. This process creates A/P records against which checks can be issued. You can also set up recurring A/P entries for regular payments.

Processing checks is an automatic process that creates checks for all invoices that have been selected for payment.

Complete variance tracking between the accounting value of the item and the actual purchase price is retained and automatically calculated.

The multiple accounts payable reports available within Intuitive ERP allow you to organize A/P records into buckets and displays a time-phased A/P status, view the detail behind each invoice, list all invoices that were selected for payment, list invoices that will be paid the next time checks are processed, print checks, and more.

Accounts Receivable Module

Intuitive ERP contains a complete A/R system, including invoicing, cash receipts, full reporting, multiple A/R accounts, credits, and more

Intuitive ERP supports all different types of terms: split terms, pre-payments, due on a specific date, due on X day of month, free month, or any combination of these on a single invoice.

Generating and printing invoices in Intuitive ERP is a one-step process that offers a great deal of flexibility and control over which invoices are processed. After a sales order has been shipped, Intuitive ERP A/R flags that sales order for invoicing. Every delivery that has been flagged for invoicing will be compared and selected for invoicing based upon criteria you specify. The user has visibility into the shipments selected for invoicing, and may hold some or all based on this information. Invoices may also be consolidated into master invoices at this point.

The A/R account specified in each sales order will be utilized when the invoice is generated. This account number defaults into each order based on the default for the customer.

When payments are received from customers, the payments are applied against invoices in the system. Payment is supported from checks, wires, cash, and credit cards. Miscellaneous cash receipts (cash received not against an invoice) is also supported, are are prepayments, overpayments, and credits.

Cash Flow Module

Budgeting and Cash Flow

Defining and monitoring a budget is a critical step in the process of managing any business. Without the right tools, preparing, distributing, and collecting budget workbooks can be time consuming and cumbersome, and departmental or company consolidations can be a nightmare.

Intuitive ERP provides you with a distributed, enterprise-wide budgeting tool that automates creation, distribution, and collection of Microsoft Excel-based budget input and simplifies the revision process so you can focus on establishing the optimum plan.

You can generate and distribute customized budget templates throughout the entire organization. Completed budget sheets are consolidated to the financial data warehouse for reporting. You can also easily maintain alternative budget-specific tables. Wizards are also provided to help you complete the budgeting process.

You can also compare actual period-to-date and year-to-date performance to the budgeted amounts.

To assess and monitor cash flow, Intuitive ERP exports general ledger data to an Excel spreadsheet to analyze changes in your cash position.

Cost Tracking Module

Intuitive ERP’s costing features track standard, average and last (actual) product costs and allows you to choose which costing type you wish to use as the accounting value for each item in inventory. Whenever the accounting value is updated, inventory is re-valued at this new cost.

Intuitive ERP also provides a one-step method for calculating material, labor, outplant, fixed burden, material burden and variable burden costs. This process updates routing costs and the standard and accounting costs for inventory items.

Intuitive ERP’s work in process (WIP) value report provides a complete summary of all of the costs that are currently in work in process. This report, used in conjunction with the stock value report, gives you a complete inventory valuation, including both stores and work in process.
