Harness the Power of Integration

The core applications of the suite, including General Ledger, Accounts Payable, Fixed Assets and Procurement, operate from a single Microsoft® SQL ServerTM database. The applications are seamlessly integrated, allowing you to automate workflows and drill down between them for immediate research and record retrieval.

Attach files such as documents, spreadsheets or pictures to any record within the database, putting the information you need only a mouse-click away.

Features such as transaction copy, instant correction and automatic journal entry reversals eliminate rework. Real-time posting to the general ledger keeps you from having to run batches, imports or separate posting runs for every session.

Labor-intensive month- and year-end closing processes for your general ledger, accounts payable and fixed asset processing are a thing of the past. With Prologue Financials, previous periods can remain open even while you begin entering transactions for the new period. Any given period is accessible until you decide to lock it.
