*Basic Blue Skies Accounting® System  $3175 (includes General Ledger, Cost Accounting 2, and Payroll & Check Rec free)

Provides a fully integrated, double-entry General Ledger; generates detailed transaction registers and Financial Reports for cash flow management, budgeting, and tax preparation. Automatically records checks and deposits on the correct side of the ledger. Corrects errors easily, at any time throughout the year, and prints updated reports. Does not require monthly closings. Saves data automatically, guarding against power failures. Includes computer check writing for cash basis clients. 

Supplements General Ledger to provide reports for each enterprise cost center. Defines enterprises to match each grower's selection of ranch, field, crop, variety, herd, or management contract option. Generates specific P&L statements for each enterprise as a subset of the company as a whole. Crop years may overlap and carry forward through calendar or fiscal accounting years. Labor costs are integrated automatically if the optional Payroll module is installed. Also includes Operation Costs (e.g. Harvest Costs) and Equipment Costing.

Calculates all withholdings and prints payroll checks. Handles multiple piecework and hourly rate combinations. Automatically compares piecework gross to minimum wage. Operator can enter timecards daily or all at once. Program stores paycheck details and prints quarterly, annual W2s, state, and federal payroll reports. Gathers grower, field, crop, job, and equipment information for use in the optional integrated General Ledger and Cost Accounting modules.

The General Ledger already includes your check and deposit details. This program lets you quickly and easily mark outstanding entries and print a report that reconciles your books to your bank statement.

Optional Modules:

Enter payables into the system for payment at a later date. Cash requirements report lists aged payables either by due date, or sorted and subtotaled by due date within each vendor account. Pending payables are grouped or marked individually into either ready or hold status. Books may be kept on either cash or accrual basis. At fiscal year-end, accrual bookkeeping may be reversed for cash basis reporting, and outstanding payables carried forward.

For growers and small agribusiness firms. Prints invoices, statements, and detailed registers by vendors. View customer billing histories on-screen, or print, listing all transactions or just those remaining unpaid. The Deposits feature automatically resolves matching charges or auto-split payments. Reprints lost invoices. At fiscal year-end, accrual bookkeeping can be reversed for cash basis reporting, and outstanding receivables carried forward automatically.

Creates a new year's budget, for each enterprise cost center, from the grower's database of enterprise income and expense. Changes in acreage or percentage are factored automatically. Monthly enterprise "budget-to-actual" reports generate variances and remaining balances. Enterprise budgets are totaled to create the overall bank budget. The Windows version builds Excel spreadsheets with complete equations to do "what-if" analysis.

Supplements General Ledger to provide production cost analysis and evaluation reports for Enterprise cost centers only (without Operation and Equipment costing). Designed for businesses other than farms and construction companies.

Federal law requires that farm labor contractors give reports to their farm customers that identify farm workers and list worker pay and deductions. These reports demonstrate that the labor contractor has paid workers properly and has made accurate payroll deductions. May be purchased as an add-on to the Payroll program.

Employers with 250 or more employees, must submit W2s on media instead of paper to avoid penalty. This module allows employers to comply with IRS magnetic media reporting requirements.  This is not a 'Stand-Alone' module; must be purchased with the Payroll module.

Exports selected General Ledger or Payroll timecard data to spreadsheets, databases, graphics, or custom programs in standard ASCII format; accepts ASCII data generated from another program for automated import into AgData. Compatible in most bar-code or field data collection systems.

Multiple-user support for most standard networks. Features simultaneous General Ledger/Payroll data entry.  Your AgData software license entitles you to use the program on one computer. If you wish to use them on more computers, either for Networking or stand-alone, you may purchase a Secondary Use License for each additional computer. 

Additional client numbers may be purchased in groups of five.
