Inventory (Available in AnyBook Level II and III) *

AnyBook (Level II and II) keeps track of your inventory so you know how many books are available at any given time.  It tracks returns, damages, and promotional copies.  It gives you the cost of beginning and ending inventories, average discount on copies sold, and gross profit for each book.  It also tracks all consignment activity, a particularly valuable function if you work with consignment wholesalers and distributors. 

 

            * Note that Levels IV, V and VI include more advanced inventory tracking features

One important aspect of owning a business is sending out monthly billing statements.  A billing statement itemizes all of the customer's invoices and payments and calculates their balance due.  AnyBook provides a number of different functions dealing with billing statements.  At any given time, you can prepare a statement and determine how much one or more of your customers owe.  One of the nice features built into AnyBook, not available with other programs, is that all unpaid invoices are marked with an asterisk.  It makes it very easy for you and your customer to track payments.

Keeping Track of Payments (All Levels)

.

The "Mark Paid" Feature in AnyBook is one of the functions built into the program which sets it apart from other publishing and general accounting programs. It is designed to duplicate how people work in a real world situation.  While such a method might not be important for large businesses with teams of accountants, small businesses want to keep track of individual invoices--and whether or not they are paid.  A time-tested method of keeping track of invoices is to write (or stamp)  "paid" on top of the invoice.  Most computer software programs, however, don't use this system, rather relying on a separate payment register which is detached from invoices. The Mark Paid feature, however, keeps things simple by printing "PAID" in the Payment Box on the Invoice Screen and keeping invoices and payments together.  You find it intuitive, easy to use, and a wonderfully simple way of recording and tracking payments.
