Complete Billing module
AvailSuite makes creating and maintaining invoices a
simple task, allowing you to concentrate on other things. You can create
an invoice from an existing work order or just from scratch. If an existing
order is used to create an invoice, the system checks whether any invoices
have already been created on that order, and suggest invoicing just the
outstanding amount. The system will copy all invoice details from the work
order, however you can add more invoice lines, special charges, and taxes.
Flexible Tax support
AvailSuite simplifies tax management for you in a number
of ways. First, you can set a global tax percentage to be applied to everything
that can appear on your invoices. Further, you can set default tax for every
service or product you sell. And finally, you can manually modify tax percentage
for every invoice detail line, if needed. In addition to flexible tax management,
you can also set a different discount for every line, thus simplifying your
discount-based marketing campaigns.
Professional looking work orders and invoices
Even a small company wants to look great in front of its customers.
AvailSuite provides you with professional looking documents, including your company
logo. All documents can be printed in color, if your printer supports it. Work Order
and Invoice templates have been designed to be fax-friendly. You can set a statement
to appear at the bottom of every order or invoice, like thanking your customers for
doing business with you, or advertising your services.
Track Payments
Whenever you receive money from a customer, you record that fact
by entering a Payment in AvailSuite. In most cases, the Payment will be entered for
some specific invoice. However, the system will allow you to enter a Payment for a
customer, without selecting an invoice, if necessary. You may also enter more than
one Payment for an invoice, or create credit payments and refunds.
Use Receivable Aging report to see who owns you
AvailSuite's account receivable features will help your cash flow
by analyzing your customers' debt and providing tools which will aid you in collecting
your money smoothly and efficiently. The Receivable Aging report will show you all
the outstanding invoices, split by the customers, and further split into age buckets.
This is an invaluable tool to help you keep your cash flow healthy all the time.
Time tracking module to increase your billable time
Any service company or professional that bills for time will
appreciate AvailSuite time tracking features. Employees can submit their time cards
in accordance with the active tasks they are assigned. Submissions can be done either
by filling out a single time card or filling out a time sheet, using a wizard-like
form. Managers have access to submitted time cards; they can accept a time card, return
it to the employee for additional editing, or reject it. Managers can process timecards
either one-by-one or in groups. When all time cards are processed for a billable
period of time, a manager can generate time-card based expenses. The software ensures
that the time cards are not used twice for the billing. Once the expenses are
generated, they will be automatically added to the invoices for appropriate customers.
By reducing time spent on timesheet data entry and processing, your organization
will see cost reductions, productivity increases, and ultimately increased profits.
