This tutorial is designed to introduce you to
the flow of the software from the initial data entry to the general ledger |
|
What you will learn in this session is how your
information moves through the SLICEplus software |
|
Information on how to set up the software is
covered in classes, in the SLICEplus manual, and the F1 function key online
help feature |
|
|
|
|
|
|
These tables provide the data for the process;
Customers and Prospects, Inventory and Bidding Factors, General Ledger
accounts, etc. |
|
For example, once your customer database is
entered, the customer may be selected for creating bids, proposals, and
jobs |
|
Inventory and factors are used in bidding to
calculate your proposed price.
Factors are made up of labor, equipment, and inventory items (other
materials), all set up in the Master and Control Tables |
|
|
|
|
|
In Master Tables you first set up your Chart of
Accounts. In Landscape Maintenance
these accounts will be used in the following areas: |
|
Control Accounts, Customer Type codes, Job Type
Codes, Inventory, Job Contracts, Production, Payroll, Invoicing, Accounts
Receivable, Accounts Payable, and Job Costing |
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The first place to start with the process is the
Estimate/Bid button. Here you enter
the customer or prospect and items for the job |
|
The inventory items entered are those that you
will be planting. The associated
Factor Code will bring in the labor, other materials, and equipment |
|
The calculation of the bid gives you the final
price |
|
For information on how to enter a bid, please
refer to your software manual or online help |

If you have contracted agreements and lump sum
(set amount) bill for the month, you will probably want to use Work Tickets
from Estimates. The detail from the
tickets will come from the estimate that is associated with the job and the
Order/Invoice will just contain the monthly amount |
|
If you wish to bill on a per time basis, or from
the completed work tickets, you will want to generate the Work Tickets from
the Order. The Order will contain
all the details (list of the operations) that will appear on the work
tickets or the job |

Now that we have completed some or all of the
work |
|
Now that we have accounted for all the costs;
materials, equipment, and labor |
|
It is time to get paid for the work |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In order to bill from work tickets the work
tickets must have been generated from the Order/Job |
|
Work tickets must be marked as completed |

In this session you have seen how the
information flows through the software and which reports display the
results |
|
To apply this training, open your own SLICEplus
application and minimize this tutorial.
Then maximize the tutorial on your screen. Follow the tutorial step by step, entering a real bid into
your system and taking it through to the General Ledger, working back and
forth between the tutorial and the actual software |
