SIMMS Setup Menu
Even if you work with the GL only, it is necessary to go through the SIMMS Setup menu.
After you created your items in item inventory screen, you can go ahead and enter the quantities you will start your activity
with. In that case, you have to enter quantities on hand in the Tools>Stock Information window that opens.
The window that opens is used for adjusting inventory on hand, but for this time only, we can use it to enter the quantities
you have on hand at the beginning of your activity.
After you choose a location, click Adjust, enter the initial quantity on hand, click Save, then keep entering the quantities
for your entire inventory. At the end, go to Inventory>Inventory Valuation Report and confirm that all your quantities and
prices are correct. The total value of inventory, from all your locations should equal the total value of inventory that you
entered in the Beginning Balance screen.
Units of Measure, Shipping Methods, Global Settings, Pricing and Discounts and Tax Codes/Schedules should already
be set up during your initial company setup procedure.
General Ledger
For any type of business, regardless of its size, most concerns are related to the accounting for Sales, Purchases and
Inventory.
The General Ledger consists of several menus: Setup, menu, main menu, end of fiscal year menu and financial reports
menu. Set-up menu includes Current Accounting Period, Chart of Accounts, Default Information and GL segments.
First Steps
In order to create your own company using SIMMS-GL, start from Administration>Company Manager, then, click New.
A screen should show up prompting you to introduce the company name, in our case GL Demo. The company name can
contain up to 20 characters.
If this is your first company, close the window asking for imports. If not, check mark your options, click Import, then
follow the steps outlined in the Setup step-by-step screen. To move from screen to screen, click Next.
Go to Modules>General Ledger>General Ledger again, and you will get to SIMMS General Ledger Setup Wizard.
From now on, please proceed with care, because these steps are crucial for the accuracy of the accounting
information that you will obtain.
Click Next, and you will be asked to choose the Chart of Accounts that better matches your needs. For demo purposes,
we will be using the Service Company Simplified Chart of Accounts.
Again, click Next, and you will be taken to another screen where you can see the Chart of Accounts you will be working
with.
Please note the blue underlined section at the bottom of the page. By double clicking it, you can define accounts segments
now, or , if this sounds a little too complicated for the moment, go forward and come back later to this task, through
Accounts Segments menu.
Defining Account Segments
If you wish to establish segments for your accounts, please double click the blue underlined text now. Otherwise, you will
be able to access the segments only after you define all your default accounts.
How the Define Accounts Segments screen works:
For every account, or just for some of them, you might realize that you need some subaccounts.
Example:
For instance, if you are a toy retailer, you may have divided your store into more sections, depending on the children’s’
ages: toys for Babies, toys for Toddlers, toys for Kids, 4-5 year-olds, etc.
For each of these sections, you might have subsections: educational toys, exotic animal toys, summer fun toys, and travel
time toys. For each of these subsections, you have toys from different brands. It will be useful if you could know the
revenue that each of these toy categories generates, and inside of each category, which brand you sell more of.
The Accounts Segments screen allows you to do just that.
Each account number can have up to 30 numerical characters. Here is a possible structure of your income accounts:
In order to do that, you need 4 segments, each 5, 5, 3, and 3 characters long.
The GL is not yet open, but it will be as soon as we complete the information in the Default Accounts screen. Before that
though, an important (but optional) step is to define Accounts Segments.
To define account segments means that you have the possibility to break down a 30 characters long account number into
as many subaccounts as you wish.
From the drop down segments menu, choose 4. The length of the segments will show by default, but after you write the
description, you can also change the segment length, according to your needs.
Account type Category Subcategory Brands
Sales income Toys for kids 4 to 5 years old Educational Toys Binary Arts
Creativity for Kids
Educational Insight
Felt Kids
Leap Frog
40000 10000 100 100
200
300
400
After you override the length and enter the description for each segment, the segment screen should show as follows:
Save your work by clicking the small disk icon, and preview the work you have done. If everything is fine, click the Save
button. It will take a little time, so be patient until the saving process is done, than you can click the Exit button.
Going back to the Chart of Accounts screen, you will be able to enter the Account ID that you need.
Type in a description, then click Save.
After you have finished defining your accounts’ segments, click Next, and you will see another screen asking you about
the accounting period structure that you would like to use.
Unless you have specific needs, monthly accounting periods are the most frequently used. Please make the selection you
wish and then click Next.
The next screen will require the start date of your fiscal year and the first accounting period you will be entering data for.
Please choose carefully, following the examples below.
If you make a mistake, you will not be able to return to this screen unless you create your company again. If you made a
mistake, go in into the Company Manager menu, choose delete, and then create a new company.
The start date of your fiscal year can be the beginning of the year, or the beginning of the month of previous year,
depending on your needs.
If January 1 is the beginning of your current fiscal year, then choose 1 as first accounting period if the first month you wish
to enter data for is January. If you would like to enter data for the month of May, choose accounting period 5.
If your fiscal year starts in the previous year, October 1 for instance, choose beginning fiscal year October 1, 20__, and as
first accounting period choose number 10, if October is the first month you wish to enter data for. If beginning fiscal year is
October 1, 20__, and you wish to enter data beginning with February, choose accounting period 2, and so on.
New default information has
been added for Customers
and Sales, as well as for
Vendors and Purchases
From now on in GL, you can access only the Chart of Accounts by double-clicking any blue underlined account. If you
access any other menu in GL, you will see the empty screen below. If you try to close it, a message warns that you have
to complete all the information required in order to access the GL.
The Finance Charges section has been added to allow them to be applied in Accounts Receivable (and/or given in
Accounts Payable).

Chart of Accounts
The Chart of Accounts is the starting point of any accounting application, so please double-click any blue underlined
account in the above screen and you will be taken there.
The Chart of Accounts screen allows you to create new accounts, edit the existing ones, delete the accounts you do not
need, and save the changes made. You also can print the Chart of Accounts and when you have finished your work,
simply close the screen.
Creating New Accounts
In order to create new accounts, click New.
You will have to choose an account ID, account description, and an account type.
Choosing an Account ID
From the drop down menu, choose an account type, then choose a number within the range, according to the following
chart:
Account Type Range
Assets 10000-19999
Enter the description of the account and make sure the account is active.
The only time you would want an account be inactive is when you no longer want to use that account anymore, and
choose another one that reflects better than the previous one your needs. At that time, you will make the old account
inactive, and create a new one that will be active.
NOTE: After you enter the data, the accounts and the data they contain cannot be deleted.
Editing an Account
If during the process of creating or adjusting the Chart of Accounts you noticed that you made a mistake, you can correct it
anytime, by using the Edit function. Make sure you save your work.
Please note: It is always a good idea to print the Chart of Accounts before you start entering data. That way, an accidental
Liabilities 20000-29999
Equity 30000-39999
Income (Revenue) 40000-49999
Cost of Sales 50000-59999
Operating expenses 60000-69999
Other income and expenses 90000-99999
little error can be easily corrected, without the tedious work of discovering an error in the middle of your work.
Establishing the Default Accounts
The Default Accounts are a vital part of SIMMS General Ledger. You have to establish them very carefully, because the accuracy of the information you will get depends on how accurately these accounts have been established.
In order to enter the accounts in the Default Accounts screen, you have to double-click, one-by-one, each account in the
screen above. You will be taken to the Chart of Accounts screen. When you find the left account, double-click it, and it will
automatically show in the Default Screen.
For the inventory section of your Default Accounts, you will have to establish to which account your revenue from sales will
go, your inventory account, a cost of sales account and a freight account. The inventory section in the Default Accounts is
connected with the Inventory menu of your GL program.
For the RMA section, you have to establish an inventory RMA account and three accounts of Cost of Sales type: Cost of
Sales – Scrap, Cost of Sales – Operation, Cost of Sales –RMA. The RMA section is specific to SIMMS-GL program, and
stands for Return Merchandise Authorization.
NOTE: Even if your business is not a manufacturing one, you still have to introduce the information required;
otherwise you will not be able to open the GL. These accounts have already been established in your Chart of
Accounts — you only have to double-click on them in order to have them in the default screen.
The Customers and Sales section is connected with the Sales menu of your GL accounting program. You have to enter
again the account where your sales revenue will go, an account where you will collect money on account (accounts
receivable type), an account where you will collect cash from your sales, and an account that will collect the sales
discounts you will be giving to your customers.
The Vendors and Purchases section is connected with the Purchasing menu of the GL program. For this section, you will
have to enter an inventory account, an account from which you will write checks for payments for your purchases
(accounts payable type), and an account from which you’ll make cash payments. Also a Purchases Discounts account is
required for collecting the purchase discounts that you will receive.
The General Ledger section requires only a rounding account. This account is used to collect the corrections that the
accountant might have to make in case some errors appear in the financial statements. Retained Earnings, an account of
equity type, is commonly used in such cases.
After you have entered all these accounts in the Default Accounts screen, click Save. Now you can access all the GL
menus.
Changing the Accounting Period
Even if you chose the Accounting Period 1, and then decided to start doing accounting from the month of May, as long as
you stay in the same fiscal year, you can change your accounting period by going to General Ledger>Change Accounting
Period. While you are in that screen, select the current accounting period and then exit. You can now start entering
transactions for the current month.
NOTE: If you change the accounting periods, your beginning balances still have to reflect the previous accounting period’s
ending balances.
Working with the GL Program
All beginning balances should be done after inventory items, customers and vendors are entered. Aging for A/R
and A/p will be lost. The aging will become accurate after the system has been used for a period of time. It would
also be advisable to do a backup before all beginning balances are entered.
Beginning Balances Screen
To access the Beginning Balances screen, go to Modules>General Ledger>Chart of Accounts.
Please notice the Beginning Balances arrow in the left corner. Click on the arrow and you will be taken to this screen.
Accounts Receivable Beginning Balances - should be done at the same time as all G/L beginning balances.
1) Go to Item Manager Select Misc charge and set up item called BEGINNING BALANCES ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE.
On Advanced tab ensure that item is "not taxable". Sales account should be set to your Accounts Receivable General
Ledger Account Number. Cost of sales should be set to your suspense account number e.g. 24900.
Accomplished as sale so on Main screen highlight SALES then select Invoice.
Header Tab
Select date of beginning balance. Then select Customer.
Details Tab
Select Miscellaneous Charge. Then go to drop down menu to the right of "Show stock" and select "Beginning Balance
Accounts Receivable" Select U/M "Each". Quantity "1.00".
Go down to price and enter the dollar amount of the Customers account. Then select "Insert". Ensure that there are no tax
charges for this entry.
The balance should appear on the lower portion of the screen. Go to Total tab and ensure that the only amount in the total
is the amount of the beginning balance. Ensure freight or extra discount is set at 0.00.
Save document.
For credit balances repeat the above process only use negative amounts in the price and continue in the same
manner as you did above.
After saving document go to daily transaction register and display the date of the beginning balance. There should be an
entry to A/R and suspense that will require that you reverse by way of a general journal entry to ensure that there is no
effect on the General Ledger Accounts Receivable balance.
Assets and Expenses column should be interpreted as Debit.
Liabilities, Income and Equity should be interpreted as Credit.
You should save each entry you make. At the end, total amounts on the left side should equal total amounts on the left
side, or, in other words, Debit should equal Credit. While you work in this screen, you can correct any amounts, any time,
but you should go to the next step only if you have debit amounts and credit amounts equal.
NOTE: It is always a good idea to print your Beginning Balances report.
As you can see, we entered the inventory as a total value. In order to enter detailed information about inventory, you need
to go to Setup menu>Categories (please see SIMMS Setup).
Accounts Payable Beginning Balances
(Should be done at the same time as all G/L beginning balances)
Accomplished as a receipt of goods.
1) Go to Item Manager Select Misc charge and set up item called BEGINNING BALANCES ACCOUNTS PAYABLE. On
Advanced tab ensure that item is "not taxable". Sales account should be set to your Accounts Payable General Ledger
Account Number. Cost of sales should be set to your suspense account number e.g. 24900
To process beginning balance, go to Main screen, select purchasing then select Receipt of Goods.
In the Header tab Transaction date select date of beginning balance. Select the vendor from the drop down list that you
wish to insert the beginning balance.
In the Details tab - Item type select Miscellaneous charge from drop down list then select BEGINNING BALANCE from the
next drop down list. Quantity is 1.00. beginning balance in the box next to markup then select Insert.
Check Totals tab to ensure opening balance appears in the total boxes all other boxes should be 0.00. If you are satisfied
that everything is correct select Save.
Once all balances are entered go to file folder and select receipt.
You will now be viewing the Find transaction screen. Select the appropriate unmatched receipt, tick unmatched box then
"Proceed".
Screen comes up and asks if you want to invoice, edit receipt or cancel. Select invoice.
Repeat until all unmatched receipts have been invoiced.
Now check your Vendor Aged Summary for the beginning balance date to ensure that beginning balance is correct. Then
check your Daily Transaction Register for the day that beginning balances were entered. An entry will be required to
reverse the impact on the General Ledger balances. This can be accomplished by a debit to Accounts Payable and a
credit to suspense as a General Journal Entry.
Now the Vendor Aged Summary and the General Ledger balance will agree.
Accounts payable debit balances entered as above only use negative in price when entering on Receipt screen.
Inventory Opening Balances
This should be done at the same time as all G/L beginning balances. This is accomplished as a Manual Stock Adjustment.
Go to Item Manager select item with an opening balance.
Once item is selected go to Advance tab and set inventory and cost of sale account to your inventory G/L account number.
Select "tools" and then to stock adjustment. Quantity On Hand Screen will appear.
Pick item (assumes items have been set up in item manager) Pick location (assumes locations have been set up).
Select Adjust.
Input number of items that make up your beginning balance and select Save.
Date screen will appear. Select date of your beginning balance. Once date set select save. The Date screen will disappear
then select close on the Quantity on Hand screen.
After entering, check the Daily Transaction Register for the above adjustment. It should appear as a debit and credit to the
General Ledger Inventory account so it has no impact on the inventory value in the General Ledger.
You should also go to Inventory/Operational Reports and select Inventory Valuation Report. Display using the period in
which you created your beginning balances to check the quantity and amount in the Inventory module. Once all beginning
balances are entered for your inventory, your Inventory Valuation Report balance should agree with your General Ledger
balance.
All items should be balanced before any daily transactions are input. Once beginning balances are balanced please
ensure that the Cost of Sales account number is set back to the appropriate account for the sale account in the Advanced
tab for the item in question. This will ensure that future transactions will impact the General Ledger accounts properly.
Sales Screen
The Sales screen gathers all the information from your invoices in the Sales Journal and information about your cash sales
in the Cash Receipts Journal. From this menu, you also have access to General Ledger, helping you to easily monitor the
changes in your accounts. The Default accounts in this screen are the same that you chose in the main Default Accounts
screen.
How Invoices Are Reflected in Your Sales Journal
Anytime you invoice one of your customers, the transaction goes automatically through the Sales Journal, debiting
Accounts Receivable for that specific customer, and crediting Inventory, Sales Taxes, (e.g. GST & PST), and Freight
Expenses.
If your customer pays on the spot, you can use the Quick Payment screen to receive the money. A cash transaction is
automatically created for your Cash Receipts Journal. If the customer pays later, you can receive the payment through
Accounts Receivable screen. Once the payment is made, the accounting entry is also created for your Cash Journal.
Below is an example of an invoice for ABC School and the payment received for that invoice within the discount period:
Reversing an Invoice (CREDIT MEMO)
In conformity with accounting standards and procedures, an invoice cannot be deleted; it only can be reversed.
An invoice is reversed for two main reasons: either to correct a mistake or, more frequently, to give credit to a customer for
returning all or some of the items s/he bought.
An invoice is easily reversed. If after you clicking Save, you realize you do not need the invoice, just click Return and you
can receive back one or more of the items. Click Save once you are finished. Please see the screen below:
The return is subsequently reflected in the Sales Journal, as shown below (follow the transaction for ABC School):
Purchases Menu
The Purchases Menu gathers all the information from your receipt of goods in the Purchases Journal, and the information
about cash payments in the Cash Disbursements Journal. From this menu you also have access to General Ledger,
helping you to easily monitor the changes in your accounts. The Default accounts in this screen are the same that you
chose in the main Default Accounts screen.
How Receipts of Goods reflect in your Purchase Journal
Whenever you buy something from your vendors, the transaction goes automatically through the Purchases Journal,
crediting Accounts Payable for that vendor and debiting Inventory, Sales Taxes (GST & PST, for example) and Freight.
If you pay on the spot, you can use Quick Payment screen. A cash transaction is automatically created for your Cash
Disbursements Journal. If you pay later, you can do so through Accounts Payable module. Once the payment is made, the
accounting entry is also created for you in the Cash Disbursements Journal.
Purchases Journal
Cash Disbursements Journal
Reversing a Receipt of Goods (DEBIT MEMO)
In conformity with accounting standards and procedures, a receipt cannot be deleted; it only can be reversed.
A receipt is reversed for two main reasons: either to correct a mistake or, more frequently, to receive credit for the
merchandise you bought and returned.
The receipt of goods is easily reversed. If after you click Save you realize you do not want the Receipt of Goods, click
Return and you can receive back either one or more items that you bought. Then click Save.
Inventory Menu
Click Modules menu>General Ledger>Inventory, and go to the next screen.
The Inventory menu offers the possibility to work with item categories, inventory adjustments and kits, inventory items,
RMAs and RTVs, (Returned Merchandise Authorizations and Returns to Vendors), and to generate reports about these
activities.
Item Category
This tab allows you to see the categories you created in the SIMMS main set-up menu, and also integrate new categories.
As you can see, you can edit these categories in terms of sales, Inventory and Cost of Sales accounts. This gives you the
capability to have different categories of items reflected in specific Sales, Inventory and Cost of Sales accounts.
Inventory Adjustments and Kits
As the name of this screen shows, there are two screens that offer information in this window.
INVENTORY ADJUSTMENTS WINDOW provides information about the items that you adjusted the quantity for, the
adjustment date(s) and the name of the person who did the adjustment(s).
KIT BUILDING WINDOW gives information related to quantity and cost of materials required to build a kit, cost of work
necessary to assemble the kit, and the scrap value of kit (if disposed of).
Inventory Items
The Inventory Items screen offers information about the items you have in your inventory and a history of sales for a
certain item. Also the Edit feature allows you to have different items, other than main items of inventory, reflected in the
specific sales, inventory and cost of sales accounts.
RMA–RTV
RMA-RTV is a section specific to SIMMS-GL. The transactions for this section are entered through the Service / Return
module.
This screen allows you to see the transaction ID, item description, the RMA type, (please see Service / Return Manager
for a list off all transactions possible, you also can see the date, and the Client or Vendor for which the repair of service
has been performed.
If you want to see the reports created through RMA-RTV section, go to Reports then click RMA Journal. The accounting
entries work with the Inventory RMA account for the Assets side, and Cost of Sales accounts for the cost reworking, scrap,
and operations.
Budgeting
You can assign budgeted spending limits to accounts configured in the G/L, helping you control spending.
The following limits exist:
o When you create P/Os, the funds will be reserved from the allotted budgeted amount for the affected G/L accounts
utilized for items of course the item order cost will not exceed the pre-defined budgeted amount set for the G/L account.
o Once you receive a P/O Invoice, the amounts are then removed from the allowed budgeted amount (reducing the
amount of budgeted funds available for the effected G/L accounts). The reserved amounts for the related P/O get released
and the amounts show as spent in the Spent column of the related GL budget.
o There is a grid available in budgeting to show what the available funds are at any given time for a specified GL account.
o There is a way to transfer left-over budget amounts set for one G/L account to another G/L account, decreasing the
amount available from one and increasing it in the other.
o If P/Os are voided (deleted) without being received, the amount reserved in the budget for the related P/O is reversed.
o If a P/O is edited then the amount reserved in the budget for the related P/O is reversed and then re-established with the
new amounts saved with the adjusted P/O.
o If a receipt of goods is completed along with a receipt of invoice without importing from a P/O, the amount on the receipt
of invoice shows on the spent column of the budget related to the G/L accounts affected.
Financial Reports
The program provides the user with a wide variety of useful and detailed reports. Click the General Ledger>Financial
Reports and you will see the selection bellow. Each of these reports can be printed for a specific day, month, or a specific

End of the Month Procedure
Any time you change the accounting period (you close one month and you are ready to start the new month), the revenues
and expenses accounts will have their balance changed to zero, in order to be ready to accept the data for the new month,
while the balance sheet accounts will be cumulative. The program does it automatically, so you only have to be careful
when you change the accounting period from one month to another.
End of Fiscal Year
In order to close your fiscal year, please follow the five listed steps (seen below). Also, consider very carefully the warning
message. Print all your necessary documents, then click the Done button.
