The Accounts Link module enables you to realise the benefit of 'single point of entry' for all financial information.

Transactions input to ProgressCRM can be exported to compatible* accounting software using the nominal code structure of your choice.

*Compatible accounting software: The integration is based on an export from ProgressCRM, and the ability of the accounting software to be able to import the exported file. Therefore, most modern systems are capable of this, including Sage Line 50, Quick Books and Acccess Accounts. Users of Access Accounts can benefit further from use of the Access Accounts Transaction Broker module - this enable ProgressCRM and Access Accounts to communicate almost dynamically, ensuring up to date information in the two systems at all times. Please contact us for more information on this.

Transactions in ProgressCRM contain a number of 'analysis codes' which enable you to cross-refer the ProgressCRM codes to your chart of accounts. Exported transactions are updated with a reference code which is common to both systems, enabling complete auditability.

The Integration process is run on demand from the ProgressCRM Windows interface, and may be run at a frequency (e.g. daily, weekly) of the client's choice - all un-processed transactions will be included each time you run the integration. The integration may be run in 'trial' mode for testing purposes.

It is possible to send detailed information (i.e. 1 transaction in ProgressCRM = 1 in the accounting system) or summarised information, with the summary levels totally user-defineable.

Accounts Linkmodule concept is as follows:

Whether in pounds, euros or dollars (or other international currencies), the transaction fields that can be cross referenced to the Accounts package are

  • Transaction type
  • Payment method
  • Department
  • Source
  • Fund
  • Dates/ values/ VAT code /reference/ batch numbers etc

These can then be managed in the Accounts for

  • Nominal ledger transaction coded for correct sales account, department etc
  • Corresponding bank account transaction

Once set up, the integration process is automatic.
