Problem
A client needed custom software developed to
interface between ADP (payroll) and Accounts Receivable. The
client leased employees and wanted to turn their payroll hours into
the invoices for their clients.
Analysis
The client was using ADP for their
Payroll and an accounting package from ACCPAC that included the
source code. Technical Edge could write a custom interface to
import the ADP payroll data into a system that constructed
individual invoices and send the receivables information to an
accounting package that could manage cash receipts and open
receivables.
Solution
Technical Edge analysts and
programmers created an application program in Visual Foxpro (™
Microsoft) to accomplish the connection between ADP and the clients
Accounts Receivable software. Once the ADP records were imported,
the program would construct the invoices based upon the payroll
hours worked. The operator would be able to add items to the
invoice, delete items from the invoice and create a unique invoice
format for each client and/or invoice. All of the custom designed
invoices were printed from the custom software. When the invoices
are marked as ready to be sent to the accounting software, the
operator exports the invoice data to the accounting
software. The accounting software then handles all of the follow up
receivables functions (cash receipts, over payment, under payments,
late payments, etc.). Also, several custom reports were written for
the custom interface for management. The accounting software was
purchased with the source code so we were able to modify the
accounting software to include some of our custom information on
reports for receivables aging.
