Customizability an Important Factor when Acquiring an Accounting Software
There are two different main functionalities which is operational customization, and the other is preventive customization.
In operational customization, the customizations aim to add-on to the existing software operation process flow. Certain industries have additional steps when it comes to calculation of costing, manufacturing, and even invoicing or billing. Examples of industries that will benefit from operational customization are glass and window businesses, cargo and freight, and hardware manufacturers. The operation customizations are usually based on mathematical calculations, creating, implementing new formulas, and automating certain processes to the system’s existing formula. An example of operational customization would be configuring the formula to calculate the total sales amount of an invoice based on the volume (length x height x width) of metal sheets. Operational customization can also be used to improve workers proactiveness by calculating commission rates based on collection period, volume of sales, or type of items sold.
Preventive customization on the other hand aims to control and preserve the current flow of the system. The types of customizations done are usually to add an additional level of protection to prevent users of the software from abusing the system. Additional reports and system notifications can be made to inform users if and when they have underpriced an invoice or picked the wrong products for delivery. This eliminates human error while simultaneously retaining satisfied clients.
If you use an accounting software that is not scalable, you will eventually need to switch to another accounting software when your business expands. In the process of migrating to another software, you will lose valuable historical data. Hence, purchasing an accounting software is a big decision with long-term implications. Choose wisely on which accounting software works best for your business.
