Accounting Concepts
Find out what sets ALERE Accounting apart from its contemporaries.
Single-Point Entry
ALERE allows you to enter information into it, then never have to enter the same information again. Turn a credit memos into a payables with a click of the button, offset a receivable against a payable, suppliers can also be customers, and single structures for customers and suppliers with multiple locations.
ALERE’s architecture reduces the grunt work involved with transforming documents and enables better reporting by creating transparent relationships in the system.

Chart of Accounts
Graphically create, organize, and manage your Chart of Accounts on one screen! Major segments are numerical while minor segments are alphanumeric to permit easy identification. Drill down directly from the COA all the way to a specific general ledger transaction! As an example a PDF of an actual bill can be found in four easy clicks! A tremendous tool to use for auditing purposes.
Sales Order Configurator
Speed up and increase the accuracy of your sales order desk with a sales order configurator. It will allow a generic part number to start the process, and a finished good part number and price to be assigned automatically when all the options are chosen! Design kits to select the parts and quantities to match the job! Use only one part number for any item requiring a variable number, length, weight, etc.!
Multiple Lines
One document may perform what has traditionally required separate expensive and time consuming functions! As an example the lines on a sales order can place items on order, accept returns, and credit a customer’s account. This allows you to condense the number of documents into one for faster and more efficient processing! Complete traceability is retained with all processing handled by ALERE!
Physical Inventory
Keep inventory accurate using real-time ALERE data acquisition! The tedious requirement of freezing inventory for manual counting, while bringing your business to a halt, is no longer necessary. Scanning an item will instantly capture the counted quantity and its current inventory balance. The result is only the DIFFERENCE between those numbers is posted which is not affected by issues or receipts. The result is faster physical inventory, that supports spot counting, and does not interrupt shipping and receiving!
