The seven areas of Accounting
Today collects what needs attention; the other six areas are where the work is done. Sub-tabs separate related lists, for example “Invoices” and “Quotes”.
| Area | What you do there | Guide |
|---|---|---|
| Today | Open tasks, day close, key figures | This guide |
| Invoices | Invoices, quotes, billing plans | Create and send an invoice |
| Payments | Open items and reminders, bank, receipts and credits, gift vouchers | Payments and reminders; Bank reconciliation |
| Expenses | Supplier documents, suppliers, payment runs | Expenses |
| Taxes | Deadlines, VAT, tourist tax, tax adviser | Tax guides |
| Till | Till sales, cash register | Till and fiscalisation |
| Reports | Key figures, result, balance sheet, closing | Reports; Day and month close |
Read the key figures
“Received today” counts payments recorded today. “Outstanding” is the total of unpaid customer invoices, including those not yet due; the overdue share is shown below it. “Revenue this month” is the invoiced revenue of the current month. For comparisons use Reports.
The day-close line
Below the key figures STRYK shows the oldest open hotel day, for example “Close yesterday (26.10), 1 item open”. “Close” opens the hotel day close. Days are closed in order.
Work through To do
“To do” lists every open task with count, deadline or amount. Each task has its own action, for example “Send reminder”, “Match” or “Bill”, and opens the right list. A task disappears once its cause is resolved; it cannot be ticked off by hand.
