Documents
Documents are used to record and substantiate business transactions. They record both financial and non-financial information and serve as a source for financial and management accounting. Documents can be traditional, such as invoices and purchase orders, or internal, such as accounting memos or employee timesheets.
Document Templates
Predefined documents
AB Report does not come with pre-configured documents. Instead, all documents and workflows are tailored to the individual needs of the company.
Customising documents
Document templates are used to define the composition, structure and functionality of different document types. This versatile tool allows documents to be customised to suit different needs.
Examples of documents
- Bank Withdrawal to include only the date, number, business partner and totals.
- Invoice with line items.
- Accounting Memo, containing a list of accounting transactions.
- Equipment Effectiveness Report, containing a set of non-financial data.
- Production Order, with different sections for products produced and raw materials consumed.
Document management
Documents are created and stored in a single document repository.
Print templates
Document print templates are designed to streamline and improve the creation of hard copies of various business documents. Templates can be created in MS Office formats, CrystalReports or FastReport. Users can benefit from the efficiency of off-the-shelf templates, while having the flexibility to create or modify their own.
Document approval
Document Signing Rules are designed for document approval. This ensures that documents go through the necessary checks and authorisations. This tool will be extended to support Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) in the next version of AB Report.
Document audit trails
The Document Audit Trails feature provides a comprehensive record of all activities and changes made to documents. This feature ensures transparency and accountability by tracking user interactions, changes and access details.
