VTT+ Modification

Is anyone able to tailor the package?

- as I need an additional department or cost centre colums for income and expenditure.

So that I can not only analyse the income and expenditure into departments as follows:

1st dept (already in VTT+) = Type of Courses provided e.g Accountancy, Business Studies, Graduate Degree Level etc.,

2nd dept = Sub Level courses e.g under Accountany = CAT Introductory, CAT Intermediate, CAT Final, ACCA papers F!-F3 etc.,

3rd dept = Tutor or Staff Names for tracking their costs.

Reporting within VTT+ would be useful but not necessary as I will export the data to Excel and run a pivot table.

Thanks - by the way is there is any other accounting package which can do this?

By calling each of the cost centres "Projects"; really easy to set up and use. You could also allocate people to them very easily because it's linked to a CRM system as standard.

I'm afraid I have no idea if VTT+ can be tailored this way or not.

Yes, other accounting packages can do this .....

My background is Farm Secretarial and I know that this siituation can be dealt with on the Key Accounting program produced by Landmark Systems.

I worked with a business that ran three different farms, with several different enterprises on each estate.

So there were many variations taking into consideration;

1. Income/Expense

2. Enterprise - which of the 9 different enterprises the activity happened on (3 farms, each with Estate/Shoot/Woodland)

3. Crop or running cost (ie Tractor or farm/let property)

You could do brilliant analysis reports, investigating what each property/tractor/crop cost, analyse the revenue and expense involved for each of the three shoots and it could also cope with all the budgeting/reporting too.
