At the heart of any ERP system are the Financial Ledgers, Epicor iScala is no exception and provides a fully integrated set of ledgers comprising;

• General Ledger
• Sales Ledger
• Purchase Ledger

These ledgers are the key components in building a real time enterprise providing an integrated transaction management system that systematically ensures the integrity of all data flowing into the prime accounting ledgers. However, when it comes to your central accounting functions it is not only the system integrity that is important. It is also vital to ensure that the system supports the monitoring processes around that data flow, as it is these processes that will ultimately provide you with assurance of the timeliness and accuracy of the data within the system, and therefore directly influence the accuracy and credibility of the information you extract.

At the core of Epicor iScala is the integrated ledger infrastructure to capture the detailed multidimensional financial transactions created “behind the scenes” by one of the many collaborative Epicor iScala processes. The transaction could be the result of Epicor iScala collaborating with people in your organization, machinery on your production line or other applications handing over processes for Epicor iScala to complete. For example, a maintenance engineer entering information on a PDA about how he serviced a machine, or the machine itself triggering an instruction to your service center to send that engineer. Processes from 3rd party systems with which Epicor iScala is collaborating may be as simple as a Bar Code reader triggering a stock withdrawal, or as sophisticated as a complete supply chain integration (For a more detailed overview of specific Epicor iScala and the Scala Connectivity Solutions please see the relevant factsheet.)

Regardless of how the transaction was triggered, you can be sure that Epicor iScala understood the business event and translated it into the accounting terminology you need, removing the burden on your staff to laboriously key in that data. Epicor iScala provides you with the processes to monitor, control and reconcile transactions without sacrificing the speed at which information flows into your General Ledger, supporting your real-time enterprise.
