Overview

The Accounting Seed Map provides you with an overview of how the Accounting Seed application works. The goal of the Accounting Map is to give you a graphical view of how frequently used processes in the application work and how they update the general ledger.

Color-coded shapes and sequential process flows provide a visual, at-a-glance summary of how your accounts move through the system.

There are a total of eight diagrams in the Accounting Map. These maps are summarized below:

• General Ledger Balances - shows the data tables that feed the general ledger.
• Billing - shows the process for billing a service or productized service that has no inventory.
• Payables - shows the process of purchasing and paying for services and non-inventoried supplies.
• Consolidations - shows the process for setting up and running Consolidations in the application. 
• Reporting - shows how reporting tools are connected to data in the application.

Note: The maps mentioned below are only applicable if you are using the Accounting Seed Orders & Inventory functionality.

• Inventory Quantity Available - shows the data tables that update both inventory quantity available and the general ledger.
• Billing for Inventory - shows the process for billing and order fulfillment of inventoried products (including product build and warehousing).
• Payables for Inventory - shows how to purchase and pay for inventoried supplies.
