If
Integrated Accounting is Required, Why are 2 Systems a Benefit?
Some customers seem to think two independent systems are a deterrent
rather than a benefit. This is not the case with ORDERS Plus.
First of all, ORDERS Plus is a front office application specifically
designed to benefit ALL employees, not just your accounting department.
ORDERS Plus is Customer and Inventory driven, not accounting driven.
This means the overall workflow design is engineered to naturally
benefit the way sales, purchasing, inventory control and production
staff do their jobs. Yes, accounting is critical, but not until
you have a sale or receive inventory. ORDERS Plus is designed to manage
all of the work the occurs prior to receiving a check or paying a
vendor, which is where the so called "Integration Line" is drawn.
Once an invoice is created in ORDERS Plus, that invoice is posted to
Accounts Receivable allowing your bookkeeper to know that customer xyz,
owes your company x dollars, due by x date. Once a check is
received, that payment is logged into the Accounts Receivable module.
A/R also takes care of printing aging reports, monthly statements and
other associated tasks related to receiving payment from your customers.
No more, no less. Respectively, when an item is received into
inventory, the value of the receipt is then recognized on the financial
statement as an increase in inventory assets and a liability that you
owe money to a vendor. Once the vendor invoice is received, it is
applied against the receipt and a payable transaction is created.
A/P will print all of your vendor checks and manage other associated
tasks related to paying vendors. All of this information then
automatically generates up-to-date financial statements that will
provide management with a current snapshot of the company's financial
health. Another benefit of 2 systems is from a security
perspective. Only bookkeeping staff and management require access
to the financial system, which may be installed to a separate network
resource in which only those people can view and/or access it.
Simply put, this eliminates any securing issues by preventing other
staff from having access to sensitive information.

UPS Worldship?

ORDERS Plus Gold 2007, scheduled for release in November of 2006, will

Can
We Use Crystal Reports with ORDERS Plus?
Yes. All you have to
do is export data from ORDERS Plus to a common file format like DBF and
then write your reports to use that data. ORDERS Plus Gold 2007,
scheduled for release in November of 2006, will integrate more tightly
by automatically exporting the core dataset to a secure location, which

Can ORDERS Plus Be Customized?
-
The first question to ask yourself is whether or not the requirement is a simple
Custom Report or Printed Form, or an enhancement that requires additional
functionality during operations.
-
Custom Forms and Reports can be done with
out much expense. Custom changes to the software can often be
accomplished. The ORDERS Plus Engineering Team is
available on a fixed price basis to discuss your custom engineering requirements
and develop a proposal.

Does ORDERS Plus Interface with
a PDA?
Most PDA's have the ability to import data. Thus since ORDERS Plus
can export information, that data can be imported into a PDA. If
the handheld device has the ability to connect to a terminal server,
remote operations can occur. However, no specific formatting for
mobile devices is supported.
What Relational Database
Engine and/or Language does ORDERS Plus Use?
-
Proprietary. Both the language
and relational database engine used by ORDERS Plus is proprietary.
No ODBC Driver or source code is available. However, Custom
Reports, Programming, the use of Crystal Reports and ability to
integrate datasets with SQL server are standard.
I Received a New Version Notice For a Companion Product?
-

Install a New Version of a Companion Product unless ORDERS Plus has published
compatibility.
Customers should always check with our CustomerCare Department prior to
purchasing and/or installing a new version of a companion product for ORDERS
Plus. This includes Custom Labeling, Credit Card Processing and
