Introduction

Its importance lies in the fact that it communicates with the widest range of information segments in your corporate system. In its simplest form it distributes its data to the General Ledger and controls liabilities with Purchasing reconciliation, feeds the Cash Book, interfaces with Project Costing and is a major contributor to the building of Asset information. It evens exerts its influence over the Budget Control Facility and the Organisation's Loan accounts.
