ManagePLUS for QuickBooks
ManagePLUS is a management information and reporting add-on for QuickBooks. It enhances the information you can get from the QuickBooks records you already keep, giving you valuable information with only a little extra effort. But ManagePLUS is more than just a reporting tool:
ü It lets you manage classes as cost centers and profit centers, for advanced management information and analysis (ManagePLUS Gold version).
ü It gives you easy ways to allocate income and expense (overhead expenses, etc.) to cost centers and profit centers, providing practical, useful cost accounting capabilities (activity-based costing) with even simple cash basis or accrual QuickBooks records (ManagePLUS Gold version).
ü The transactions which allocate revenue and expenses among cost center and profit center classes can be exported to QuickBooks with a single click, or viewed in specialized cost center and profit center analysis reports available in ManagePLUS Gold,
ü ManagePLUS supports advanced quantity handling features, such as automatic quantity statistics (price per unit, etc.) on reports, entering transaction quantities as mathematical formulas which remain a part of the QuickBooks transaction whenever desired, and even recording two quantities in each transaction if you want. This dual-quantities feature is extremely valuable in businesses which buy and sell things by weight and count, such as farming and ranching. Wherever dual quantities are used, ManagePLUSreports automatically provide additional per-unit cost information and statistics per count and per weight unit—average weight per pallet, average selling price per each and per pound, etc.).
ü ManagePLUS has powerful “visual” features for quickly getting customized reports and analysis of your records. By just dragging column headings around in the Transactions window and making a few mouse clicks you can have a customized analysis of revenue and expenses tailored to your information needs—grouped, sorted, and filtered as you want, and with automatic quantity and financial subtotals and statistics.
ü ManagePLUS builds reports in its own internal spreadsheet. That lets you immediately and directly edit information right there in the report to do a “what-if” analysis on your live accounting data. And you can export reports to Microsoft Excel if you want to do even more.
ManagePLUS benefits a wide range of businesses types: manufacturing, farming and ranching, medical offices, professional services businesses, trucking/transportation/delivery, and many others—any business that wants more detailed management information, and especially any business that makes use of QuickBooks classes.
