Accounting Software Features That Can Reduce Double Entry

Sales Orders

A sales order function allows you to enter orders into the software, where they can be saved until it is time for partial or complete order fulfillment. Once it is time to fill the order or turn it into an invoice, either of those functions can be completed right from the order within the system, rather than having to re-enter the information if the order had been written up by hand.

Purchase Orders

Similar to sales orders, purchase orders gives you a place to enter and keep track of purchase orders you have on file for vendors, and then receive complete or partial shipments from them. If a purchase order has been partially filled, you can choose to close the purchase order or keep it open until the rest of it is filled. This saves you the time of having to enter and create another transaction for the remaining items on the purchase order.

Copy existing (sales orders or purchase orders)

If you have customers who place the same order each time, or you place a similar purchase order repeatedly, the ‘copy existing’ function can save you time re-entering transactions. This function simply allows you to take a sales order or purchase order you’ve already done, and copy the main information into a brand new transaction.

Recurring Invoices

If you bill for services on a regular basis, a recurring invoice function can save you from many hours of data entry, depending on your transaction volume. With recurring invoices, you set up the transaction and billing increment, and run the batch of transactions when you choose to, saving you from having to reinvent the wheel each time you want to send out invoices.
