CUSTOM SUITE DESIGN ALLOWS for rapid customization of the system to meet the changing needs of a growing business. Much of the power is in simplicity. The data entry and processing screens are kept simple for easy of use. Supplementary data is only displayed when needed. The entry fields are color coded to make it easy for the operator to see which fields are being edited and which will require input. While a Custom Suite screen has the usual control buttons on the screen to pop up selection lists where appropriate, it has the unique power of Appgen's cross-reference lookup feature. If, for example, you wanted to enter a customer number and did not want to scroll down a selection list of several thousand customers, you would enter one or two partial words from the customer name. The cross-reference search would return a short selection list showing only those customers that had those words in their name. This lookup works anyplace in Custom Suite where information may be selected from a list and greatly speeds data entry and information retrieval.

Information Retrieval
Information retrieval is the key to making an accounting system useful and Appgen accounting excels at information retrieval. With a few clicks and keystrokes the power of these applications to make any information available is apparent. An inquiry on the status of a customer account can find any questioned invoice or payment and bring up the original document for viewing and even reprinting almost instantly. Even looking up detail on General Ledger accounts can bring up original checks, invoices and other transactions without leaving the General Ledger screen.

Multi-Platform
Custom Suite is truly multi-platform. Whatever desktop is used an any workstation, Windows, Linux or Macintosh, Custom Suite presents the same, consistent, graphical look and feel to the user. If a particular workstation is in a location inhospitable to PC type workstations Custom Suite will also work on a character terminal.

Modules
Applications of Custom Suite include the basic accounting, General Ledger, Receivables, Payables, Payroll and Bank Reconciliation, as well as the normal sales related modules, Order Entry, Inventory and Purchase Order entry. There is also a Billing module for service oriented business, a Job Cost Tracking module and a multi-level Bill of Materials. All of the applications in Custom Suite may be installed together or added individually as needed. Whether installed together or added one at a time they are always completely integrated so that data in one module is available to all the others. While there is a full complement of built-in reports, with the addition of ODBC connectivity the data in the Custom Suite applications is available to other applications such as spreadsheets and report writers for individually customized reporting.

Customization
The design of the Appgen accounting system provides the developers, such as Venegas Littman and Associates with the ability to rapidly develop customizations and expansions of the system to meet the needs of your growing business while maintaining a reasonable “IT” budget. Custom Suite may be customized from simple changes in form and report layouts to expansion with entire new modules while retaining the power, complete integration, and consistent look and feel of all applications.

Custom Suite is fast, functional, feature-rich, expandable and gives you the power to make your data work for you. business.
