Finance · the heart of Softbase ERP

Softbase Finance All roads lead to Finance.
Finance posts by itself.

Incoming invoices, issued invoices, bank statements, the cash desk and payments all flow into one general ledger. Whatever the program can do by itself, it does by itself: it reads the invoice, assigns the accounts, closes the paid item, calculates VAT and prepares the return. The accountant confirms and supervises.

  • Bank statements from all European banks arrive by themselves and are posted automatically
  • General ledger, subledgers, bank and payments, VAT and closing in one program
  • Incoming invoices without typing: e-mail, e-invoice or phone, OCR and invoice approval
  • Multiple companies in one installation, each with its own data and permissions
Finance: settings for the incoming invoice route from e-mail to posting
A real Finance screen: the incoming invoice route – from e-mail, e-invoice or phone, through SoftNotes and invoice approval, straight to posting.

Five areas, one ledger.

Every document is posted once and appears immediately on the account card, in the subledgers, in the VAT books and in the financial statements.

General ledger

Journal entries, account card, trial balance, posting journal.

Subledgers

Open items, set-offs, reminders, interest, debt collection.

Bank and payments

Bank statements, item matching, payment batches, payment approval.

VAT

Invoice books, VAT return, reverse charge, export for FURS (Slovenian tax authority).

Closing

Month-end and year-end closing, accruals and deferrals, financial statements.

The heart of the ERP

Everything that happens with money in the company comes here.

Finance is not an island that data has to be retyped into. It is the centre of Softbase ERP: programs and banks send it documents, and Finance sends back balances, open items and calculations.

Bank statements

No more fetching statements. They arrive by themselves – from all European banks.

The program fetches the statement itself. Four times a day, without any user involvement, it refreshes the balance on all the company’s accounts; at the end of the day it compiles the statement and posts it. Balances, payments and closed items are in Finance without anyone having to deal with statements.

All European banks

All the company’s accounts in one place, whatever the bank.

Four times a day

The balance is always up to date, without logging in to online banking.

Statement at the end of the day

The program compiles it itself from the day’s transactions.

Posting on its own

Incoming and outgoing payments are matched to invoices and posted.

Incoming invoices

The invoice arrives by e-mail. It goes to Finance read, approved and with accounts assigned.

Nobody retypes an incoming invoice. SoftNotes reads it, approvers approve it with the original in front of them, and Finance assigns the accounts using the supplier’s template. If the supplier does not exist yet, the program adds it from the register by tax number or VAT ID.

1

Arrives by itself

E-mail, e-invoice, phone or scanner – all to the same place.

2

Read

OCR reads the supplier, amounts, VAT, bank account (TRR) and payment reference.

3

Approved

Approvers approve on a computer or phone.

4

Accounts assigned

Account, VAT code and cost centre from the posting template.

Bank and payments

The statement reconciles itself. Payments go out in a batch.

The statement arrives by itself, and the program matches incoming and outgoing payments to open invoices. Recognition rules take care of everything that recurs – bank charges, interest, salaries, taxes. You prepare payments in a batch (pain.001) for online banking; above a limit you set, a payment waits for approval.

Automatic matching

A payment closes the invoice by reference, partner and amount – fully automatically if you wish.

Recognition rules

By text, partner or both; set them up once and the program does the posting from then on.

Payment batches

Invoices for payment in one batch, with the correct IBAN, reference model and reference number.

Payment approval

Payments above the limit are approved by an authorised person.

VAT

VAT builds up as you go. The return is ready when the deadline comes.

Every posting with a VAT code goes straight into the issued or incoming invoice book, into the correct period and the correct column. Reverse charge, EU acquisitions, flat-rate farmers and VAT not yet due are built in – no manual recalculations and no auxiliary spreadsheets.

  • Issued invoice book and incoming invoice book
  • VAT return for the selected period
  • Reverse charge under Article 76.a and EU acquisitions
  • VAT not yet due and flat-rate compensation
  • Manual entries in the VAT books with a clear audit trail
  • Export of VAT records for FURS

VAT codes: each code knows which record and which account it goes to – including reverse charge and EU acquisitions.
Subledgers and debt collection

Every partner on one card. From reminder to set-off.

The partner card shows all open items, payments and matchings. From here you run open item reconciliation, set-offs, reminders and late payment interest calculation, while multilateral set-off goes to AJPES ePobot.

Closing and reports

Month-end closing without overtime.

Accruals and deferrals, advance settlements, loan and lease instalments and recurring journal entries are posted according to rules. Rounding, small-difference write-offs, exchange differences and the result for the year go to accounts you set up once.

Groups of companies

Intercompany reconciliation and consolidation.

My overviews

Pivot tables by account, partner, cost centre and month.

Control and security

Every posting leaves a trail. Everyone sees what they are allowed to.

The company itself sets the posting period and the rules for correcting posted entries. The program records who entered, changed or sent what. An AI assistant is on every screen and knows where you are.

Traceability

Who did what, and what was sent.

Closed period

Posting only in the permitted period; corrections to posted entries according to company rules.

Multiple companies

One installation, multiple companies, each company’s data kept separate.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions.

What does Finance cover?

The general ledger, subledgers, bank and payments, VAT, and month-end and year-end closing with financial statements. Incoming and issued invoices, the cash desk and advance invoices are posted directly to Finance.

How do incoming invoices get into Finance?

By e-mail, as an e-invoice, or from a phone or scanner into SoftNotes. SoftNotes reads them, approvers approve them, and Finance assigns the accounts using a posting template. See invoice approval.

Are bank statements posted automatically?

Yes. The program fetches the statement itself, from all European banks. Four times a day it refreshes the balance without any user involvement; at the end of the day it compiles the statement and posts it: it matches payments to open invoices and posts according to recognition rules.

What about VAT?

VAT is recorded with every posting that has a VAT code, in the issued or incoming invoice book and in the correct period. The VAT return and the export of records for FURS are ready when the deadline comes.

Does Finance support multiple companies?

Yes. One installation handles multiple companies; each company’s data, permissions and settings are kept separate.

Finance is the heart of Softbase software.
