FAQ


This FAQ contains technical knowledge and 'How To' tips and will develop as users request information.

How do we know which "Y/E" files have not come in yet?

  1. Create a custom attribute "Year End", with text data type. Set allowed dates such as 31-Dec, 31-Jan etc.
  2. Assign this attribute to all clients for whom year end work is done.
  3. Select clients with 31-DEC year end attribute (using Advanced Find) and add them to a List called "Y/E December".
  4. Create a List called "Y/E December Received".
  5. As the client material arrives, add their name to the "Y/E December Received" list.
  6. To find out who has not sent in their papers, do an Advanced Search, filtering for members who are on "Y/E December" but not on "Y/E December Received".
  7. At the start of a season/cycle, clear all members from the "Received" list and ensure that all new clients have been added to the appropriate "Y/E" list.

How do we tell a client where we allocated a payment?

From Client Account Analysis, enter the cheque number the client sent you (or part of it). The system will tell you whether it has been allocated and if so, which debits it was allocated against.

How do we know which industries we excel in?

Run a Production by Industry report to view sales, write-ups and write-downs by industry.

Which client address is the invoice defaulting to?

Invoices default to using the Billing Address, if there is one, otherwise they use the Default Address. You can change the address from the Print/Edit Invoices screen.

How do we track our time against budgets for work we are doing?

  1. Set up a Project which describes the overall work you are doing.
  2. Create Tasks within the project and assign them budget hours and/or budget time.
  3. As time is charged to the Tasks, run Budget vs Actual reports from the Production screen.

How do we invoice different people at the client's office for different items of work?

Invoices are created using the default contact name at the client office. You can change this, and the invoice address, from the Print/Edit Invoices screen.
