Very simple data entries compared to other products. Such as inputting of invoices or raising of customer invoices. It is also simple to produce simple reports such as aged debts, which are shown in a user-friednly manner.

Payment runs are simple once you have set-up your bank into the system. It automatically identifies which invoices are due for payment and includes them in the payment run. It also has very easy to manage the general ledger and also maintain the chart of accounts

What do you dislike most about this product?

So the ability to easily contra invoices off against each other would beneficial although I appreciate its cleaner for audit purposes to treat them seperatly

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

A very simple accounting software for the smallest of business. You don't need a large depth of accounting knowledge to get by. Training should be very easy due to its simplicity. If your expanding I would look elsewhere to sage 100 as this is really basic level
