Herbst Insight

Nominal Ledger

Unless you are an accountant, mere mentioning of accounts, nominal ledgers or journal entries probably makes you switch off immediately. You just feel totally out of your depth and don't want to get involved. However, with Herbst Insight 2 this is all set to change as we have designed Herbst Insight specifically with you in mind.

As well as taking input from qualified accountants in order to ensure technical robustness of the Nominal Ledger, the module has also been tried and tested by non qualified accountants in order to ensure a user friendly design, interface and clarity of information for those unfamiliar with accounting. The result of which is an excellent business and management information system satisfying the demands of both accountants and non-accountants. The accounts are fully integrated with day-to-day transactions such as sales invoices, credit notes, purchase invoices, cash receipts, payments and internal transfers etc. as the account entries are generated seamlessly off the back of these transactions.

Herbst Insight comprises a default set of accounts, which you can accept or modify by expanding or decreasing to match your business requirements.

Accounts tree & Accounts List

According to your preference and requirements you can view your accounts either by a tree structure or by a list.

Journal Entries

Don't worry, Herbst Insight guides you through manually creating a journal entry in an easy and instructive manner and also permits reverse journal entries. This journal entry facility also greatly simplifies transactions such as accruals and depreciation etc.
