General Accounting
The General Accounting portion of the MerrimacPlus is a comprehensive bookkeeping system which includes Accounts Payable, all General Ledger functions, and a Commercial Billing module.
Accounts PayableIn the MerrimacPlus Accounts Payable system, each of your suppliers is entered only once and is identified by a unique four-letter code that you define. Invoices, including recurring payables, are entered as they are received and new suppliers can be entered “on-the-fly” during the invoice entry routine. Expenses can be allocated to as many as nine different expense or publication accounts either by amount or as a percentage of the invoice total. The system assures that all allocation entries are balanced. Invoice entries can be cancelled or corrected at any time.
Approval and payment of open invoices is easy with MerrimacPlus Accounts Payable. You can chose to approve all open payables or only those for selected suppliers. Checks can be approved for the full amount due or for a partial payment. Print your checks at the end of the approval run or store them for printing at a later time.
Need to refund an advertising customer or a subscription payment? Refund checks can also be approved and printed through our A/P system.
MerrimacPlus Accounts Payable puts all of your supplier and payment information at your fingertips, with a variety of on-screen inquiries and printable reports that show you supplier information, complete payment history for each of your suppliers, and open payables including due dates and prompt payment discount details.
