Explanation
page. If you want to know about ShopMate Business Accounting
Database System in depth, you are in the right spot, just follow the individual
Module Description below.
ShopMate Database System Software is made up of 8 system modules:
- Sales
- Purchases
- Inventory
- Files
- Accounts
- Payroll
- Administration
- System
Each module is accessible from the ShopMate Main Module bar or from the main
menu. Each of the modules represents and looks after a part of your business. Many
of our customers use all of the modules in their business and many generally use
only some parts of ShopMate, not all. Some of them, you have to use (sales, files...)
and some of them you do not (payroll...).
It is usually Sales and invoicing part they use and not the Purchases and ordering
or payroll. You do not have to use all of the modules, you can use only what you
need. In the table below you will find information on all of the ShopMate Modules.
Note that when you are running ShopMate and you are not sure of something, press
F1 key on your keyboard to get to the ShopMate context sensitive help system for
more information than you get here.

create an invoice in just two mouse clicks, three if you have to select a new customer
or vehicle, from ShopMate home page. It is that simple. You can select any customer
by either their Company Name or their Full Name. The vehicles in the grid reflect the customer you select, only the currently selected customer's vehicles (if any) will be displayed here. The automotive software program part can be hidden if you are not in the automotive business and if you turn the feature off, the grid will show the selected customer's history invoices instead. In the first task tab, a two months calendar display is used to select a date for your new invoices. If the date's font is bold it contains one or more open invoices for that date. The second task tab contains closed or open invoices for the selected day only and the third task tab contains all the existing open invoices. |
