Why do businesses need a Financial Accounting System?

1000's of sales bills and 100's of purchase bills will be recorded per month in a medium-sized retail business like supermarket, F&V / a restaurant/ FMCG or pharmacy distributors. Out of these most of them would occur on a credit basis which needs to be recorded, adjusted and paid later. Every transaction made in the ERP software will atleast involve one taxation. Hence, to record and track these high volume cash flow and the taxes involved, every such industry should opt for an accounting software. Also, businesses would need online accounting software to perform accounting, approve transactions, and take decisions on the go, anywhere at any time. The freedom that online accounting POS software provides to a decision-maker is infinity.

Voucher management

  • Payment and receipt voucher

  • Expense voucher

  • Post dated cheque

  • Journal voucher

  • Purchase/ sell without inventory

Make vouchers based on scenarios with ease

Multiple recurring transactions like rent payables and receivables, salary payments, and daily expenses can be templated. These templates can be loaded and converted to voucher entries in one click. In the template, either the transaction amount can be added directly or can be set as a variable. Values can be given to the variables during the one-shot voucher creation

Accountants/ auditors might be comfortable with accounting in Tally. To ease the accounting practices followed, mrakaf has Tally integration where purchase and sales bills can be imported to Tally software in XML format directly

Give transparency to payments and make them more meaningful in reports with split-ups. Create multiple elements called cost categories like salesperson, department and add cost centres like the salesperson names, the department names under these categories. While making monthly employee expenses, we can record the amount given to each sales member and department wise expenses can also be recorded

Collections are made by the sales representative from the debtors and commission is given based on that. Map the right rep to every collection entry that is made. The commission percentage can be added while creating the sales representative. Exclusive accounting reports will fetch you the collection rep wise

Transactions that might or might not occur in the future can be prepared in advance as a memo. Once the transaction happens in future, it can be converted to a voucher. The transaction amount can be fed while making the memo and can be altered while converting it to a voucher

Never miss out on a payment, schedule them: In the accounting POS software, every payment against a ledger, from supplier payments to monthly rent expense can be scheduled and its a one-time effort. On the day of payment, vouchers will be created upon our approval. However, how do they get to the approval stage? Payments can be scheduled with the amount to be paid as "last transaction amount", "net balance amount", "purchase/ sales bills". If we choose, last transaction amount as the amount to be paid in case of rent, then on the day of rent payment, the last transacted amount will wait for our approval. Scheduling is applicable not just for payments but for all voucher types

Banking management

Feed bank account details

Feed the details of cheque book like bank name, starting cheque leaf number, number of leaves into the financial accounting POS software so that they get automatically added while making payment vouchers


Almost every bank name across the world is already available in the bank master. However, remote bank if any, can be added and loaded during receipt entries

Add bank beneficiary details (bank account number, IFSC, account holder name, bank account type) of parties to auto load while making vouchers. These details of multiple parties can be uploaded in one shot too

Every recurring narration can be pre-loaded in the accounting POS software making it easy to select narrations from the master list during voucher creation

Record banking activities

Instead of manually writing cheques, get the cheque details printed on the leaf directly

Maintain the front page of a cheque book in the accounting software which has details of cheque number and payee details

Whenever a cheque gets bounced, record it in the software along with cheque bounce charges. A debit note will automatically be created against the party in case of a cheque receivable. The bounced cheque when submitted again can be marked as represented

At one place, track the status of each cheque issued/ received, whether they are in-transit/ cleared/ bounced/ deposited

Record the bank and cash (contra) transactions like cash transfer, cash deposit, cash withdraw and bank transfer using the contra. Multiple transactions of this kind can be done one by one as well as in one single shot

Have a track of even 1 rupee spent/ received by reconciling the bank e-statements (BRS) in the software. Achieve 100% accuracy by making sure that the balance as per book is reconciled with the balance as per the bank statement

Obtain accurate BRS effortless by uploading the e-statement directly to the software in the right format. Cleared date/ realized date will automatically update if the cheque numbers are added correctly while voucher creation

To avoid manipulation in entries, freeze the accounts till the last reconciliation date so that the reconciled BRS remains intact

Certain banks like the ICICI Bank, print the cheques with a digital signature and send them to the bank account owner. These cheques can be given directly to the payees. To get the cheques printed, the bank account owner has to share the details to be filed in the cheque in .xls/ .csv format. Once the cheques payable vouchers are made in the financial accounting software, they can be exported in the required format reducing hours of manual effort and errors

Most of the urban banks initiate online transactions for their customers, provided, the customer shares the payee details along with the amount in the required format. Once the online payable vouchers are recorded in AccountsEasy, they can be exported in the required format from the bank payment advice and can be uploaded to the net banking portal. Entering OTP for every online transaction gets skipped in this process, thereby reducing hours of manual effort and errors

Banking inside mrakaf ERP with ICICI connected banking

100 payments in one shot: ICICI bank customers can initiate multiple online transactions from the accounting software at one shot, reducing up to 95% effort

Live current balance and payment status: Stay updated on the status of payments for better decision-making by checking the status of payments initiated and by downloading e-statement for any period in the software

Sometimes, electricity for a period might be high or low in specific months of a year so. Budgets can be set specifically for each month/ quarter. Limits can be set for all ledgers in the financial accounting system with 4 enforce types which are,

  • Approval needed: When the transaction amount goes above the budget set, the voucher will be sent for approval. Only upon approval from the management, it will be reflected in the ledger books
  • Do not allow: When the transaction amount goes above the budget set, the particular voucher cannot be created

Monthly MIS reports can always be matched with the underlying transactions by effective month-end processing

Perform a year-end process to transfer the ledger balances from one financial year to another financial year or else every payment/ receipt entry made will become an on-account/ advance entry.
