Introduction
PowerAccounting is a real-time, integrated accounting system developed to meet the accounting requirements of enterprise-level organizations. The software takes advantage of the speed of client/server technology and the latest productivity enhancements of Microsoft SQL Server with superior scalability, up-time performance, and better data security.
The main features of PowerAccounting are listed below:-
Flexible Chart of Accounts
Provides the facility to define a flexible chart of accounts up to 5 levels. These account levels make the chart very modular and highly structured. Accounts are automatically grouped into major account types e.g. Assets, Liabilities, Capital and so on. PowerAC automatically copies the essential segments of the new account from the parent account definition, permitting faster creation of new accounts.
Multiple Voucher Types
In PowerAccounting user can create multiple voucher types of the base types that are Payment, Receipt and Journal.
Account Groups
Accounts can be combined into different logical groups in order to facilitate and ease the selection of accounts in reports. These groups are available in all relevant reports.
Voucher Entry
The Voucher Entry interface is very critical in any accounting package. The system provides separate input forms for creating different types of voucher i.e. Payment, Receipt or Journal. So that the user feels no problem while working on different types of transactions.
Checking and Approval
Transactions created in the system can be posted into Ledgers by using either online or batch posting methods. The batch posting method provides the facility for better control over the transactions before they take any effect in the General Ledger. Separate procedures are implemented into the system for the checking & approval of vouchers so that the organization can assign duties to responsible persons for these tasks. It also provides a better control of management on the accounting system of the organization. PowerAccounting provides flexibility to correct errors without a series of complex journal entries, simply ‘un-post’ and ‘re-post’.
Purchases
PowerAccounting also provides an excellent interface for recording all purchases of any trading or manufacturing organization. Following purchase documents can be easily created by the system.
- Purchase Requisition
- Purchase Order
- Goods Receipt Note

All these documents have approval interfaces to manage the responsibility accounting. Approved Purchase Vouchers will be automatically posted into the Ledger. Goods once purchased can also be returned to the Vendor at later on and the system with give debit to the vendor.

Customers and Vendors

All customer invoices, vendor bills or receipts will be automatically posted into the ledgers when these documents are approved.
Product Definition and Inventory
PowerAccounting keeps track of all inventory items and maintains their stock position at every Sale, purchase, and return. All products are grouped according to their nature e.g. Raw Materials, Finished Goods, Packing Materials etc.

Multi Company and Multi Users
PowerAccounting supports multiple companies and multiple users. It has built-in network support and thus allows multiple concurrent connections.
Backup and Restore
The backup and restore components of PowerAccounting allow you to create a copy of a database. This copy is stored in a location protected from the potential failures of the server running the database. If the server running the database fails or the database is somehow damaged, the backup copy can be used to re-create, or restore, the database.
Reports

The flexible selection parameters including account groups, account ranges and date ranges allow the user to generate any book or ledger, full or partial, at any time.
