proALPHA Financial Accounting helps you optimize your business processes: It supports more than just electronic payment transactions. It ensures transparent value flows, provides cash forecasts at the click of a button and assists risk management.
proALPHA Financial Accounting is fully integrated into the ERP system and offers all functions required to create balance sheets, profit and loss statements as well as receivables management ─ for any number of companies and in any foreign currency. All relevant postings from purchasing, sales, materials management, production and others are automatically provided for operational management and ad hoc analyses and traced to the source document, including the source document from the Document Management System. Moreover, contract management adds transparency to all contractual relationships.
proALPHA Corporate Performance Management supports you in determining how profitable your company is. Controllers identify key business figures and analyze them down to the last detail. Their fast and precise analyses allow reliable planning and provide the basis for sound decision-making. Thanks to the high level of integration of all proALPHA modules, controllers have all relevant data on the value-added chain at hand.
Data from other systems can be conveniently imported. Data are also automatically exchanged between the individual cost accounting modules, that is, cost center, cost object and income accounting, which is a solid basis for strategic performance management. The functional scope also includes cost item accounting, profit center accounting, analyses, planning tools and ad hoc queries.
proALPHA not only maps the German commercial code and tax laws but also international accounting principles, such as IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) and US GAAP (United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles). Moreover, the ERP system is capable of mapping both the sales method and the total cost method, and a combination of both. Efficient tools reduce the workload during the group consolidation.
Functionalities for credit checks, open item (OI) management and dynamic receivables analyses create an efficient tool for real risk management. Integrated workflows automatically inform of the changing payment behavior or capability of a customer. You can submit requests for information to credit reporting agencies like Creditreform directly in proALPHA.
proALPHA complies with all legal regulations, such as the German GoBD: the generally accepted principles for keeping and storing accounts, records and documents in electronic form and for data access. It ensures audit-proof archiving of all processes in financial accounting and the document management system. Independent auditing companies regularly check and certify that proALPHA complies with all applicable regulations.
All documents from sales and purchasing are included in a cash forecast. It takes employees just one click to check the incoming and outgoing payments expected in the next twelve months. This allows effortless planning of cash inflows and outflows.
The proALPHA Information System features predefined views for recurring reports. The data can be drilled down to the source document from purchasing or sales. Interactive cockpits offer additional analyses based on complete, up-to-date information. It is no longer necessary to analyze manually created lists.
Corporate performance management receives quantities and values from all modules of the ERP system. Be it the times reported in work orders, consumption and price variances or depreciation from fixed asset accounting, controllers access all primary values. Since no data have to be entered twice, errors are avoided. Moreover, data from other systems can be conveniently imported.
Data are also automatically transferred between the processes of corporate performance management, i.e., cost center, cost object and income accounting. For example, excess or shortage of cost centers and cost objects is analyzed further in income accounting. Multidimensional income accounting allows products, processes and services to be assessed from different perspectives. Its configuration can be effortlessly customized.
Planning tools and other features such as distribution series, weighting factors and automated internal allocation of cost centers allow effortless performance management. It is also possible to import and export budgeted values with spreadsheet programs. This adds to the flexibility of planning.
The analyses and information system of proALPHA feature numerous reports with predefined views. Examples include analysis sheets, multi-level contribution margin accounting, marginal costing, cost-effectiveness analyses, profit center accounting and detailed budgeted, target and actual cost accounting. Each view features drill-down functions with which the source document can be accessed, such as documents from purchasing or sales.
