Both editions work with your QuickBooks Desktop company file and keep it as the master. Advanced 2.0 adds the tools that stock-heavy and growing companies use every day: landed cost, expiry, reorder planning, quotations, approvals and modern payroll.
The real cost of every item, including freight and duty. Lots that expire soon go out first, and the bad ones are kept aside. Count a part of the store every week instead of closing for a full count.
Staff ask, managers approve by amount, purchasing compares vendors side by side and orders in one step. Bills are checked against what was ordered and received before anyone pays.
Allowances and deductions on every payslip, leave balances, attendance that counts the days worked, and loans paid back from salary automatically.
