The General Ledger Module is the core module of AgManager®.  This module is used to define the accounts, vendors, products and commodities appropraite for your business.  It provides transaction entry, and basic basis reporting.  Informaiton in this module is organized by twelve month fiscal cycles. 

This module adds an additional level of detail to breakdown the Operations portion of the General Ledger (Business Income, Business Cost of Goods, and Business Expenses) by center. Each transaction to accounts in those areas is coded with additional information that identifies the production cycle and center the revenue or expense applies to.  Profit centers and cost centers are used to accumulate totals for activities within the business. 

AgManager's Financial Forecast Module is subdivided into four distinct activities: 

1. Entity Forecast - The Entity Forecast is designed to build a projected budget for the Operations area of the business at the entity level (no centers). 

2. Managerial Forecast - The Managerial Forecast helps in assembling a projected budget of Operations by Center and by Production Cycle. 

3. Capital Forecast - The Capital Forecast Module provides a tool to budget the capital activity of Assets, Liabilities, and Equity.  Each budget prepared with this module can be used by one or more Entity and/or Managerial Budgets. 

4. Forecast Reports - This combines either one Entity Budget or one Managerial Budget with a Capital Budget for reporting purposes.  And, if needed, you can define several reporting combinations that match one Entity or Managerial Budget with different Capital Budgets.  This flexibility reduces the time and effort involved with "What If" scenarios.

AgManager® has raised inventory functions:

2. Manager Standards Level - This contains two specific raised inventory functions: 1. WIP (Work in Process) Inventory screen is used to record the inventory flow for livestock.  That information enables Standards accounting to automatically cost raised inventory on a per unit basis both at the cost center level and on the profit center as sales are made.  2.
