Accounts Module (Administrator guide)

What is the Accounts Module?

If you're using the Handyperson Module, you will probably be using the simple accounting tools that it provides - namely, charging for materials and work done, automatically working this out to give a cash total on the job card, and producing reports about how much money has been spent/charged.

We soon found that some of our clients needed more accounting functionality. More and more organisations are having to account for exactly what they have done, and provide an invoice to (for example) the council, rather than just working under an SLA. Individual Budgets are also having an impact (where the client is given benefits/grants and has to purchase and manage their own care/services, rather than the care/services being provided to them with no money changing hands). The Accounts Module is the answer.

Using the Accounts Module you can:

• Automatically generate invoices for club/clinic activity (when using the Clubs and Clinics module), support work (when using the Support Worker Module), and handyperson services (using the Handyperson module).
• Create invoices to the client directly, or invoice a funder/organisation on their behalf.
• Print invoices directly from Charitylog.
• Export invoices directly from Charitylog to the industry-standard Sage Line 50 accounting package, with department and nominal codes automatically assigned.
