SunSystems Analysis and Chart of Accounts Structure

SunSystems offers a distinctive chart of accounts and a flexible analysis structure that enables you to capture essential data for informed decision-making.

Whether you’re evaluating the profitability of a specific project, department, or individual employee or conducting detailed budget expense analysis, SunSystems equips you with insights to drive growth and profitability.

A key strength of SunSystems lies in its adaptable analysis capabilities, allowing it to meet the complex and diverse needs of businesses across multiple sectors.

Instead of relying on a traditional segmented chart of accounts (where, for example, “1000010” might represent both a nominal and a cost centre), SunSystems records your organisation’s required analysis directly at the transaction level.

This approach avoids the need for complex, segmented codes, resulting in a simpler, streamlined structure.

This flat account structure offers significant benefits: adding and maintaining analysis is faster and easier.

For instance, incorporating a new department or operational team for analysis can be done within seconds. Expanding analysis dimensions, such as tracking income and expenditure across new business streams or at the project and employee level, is also straightforward and can be seamlessly integrated into your reporting.

SunSystems further enhances data accuracy and validity with robust business rules.

These rules can validate combinations, ensuring, for example, that an employee aligns with a specific team or project when analysed at an individual level. Business rules can also automate data entry by defaulting fields where relationships exist.

If an employee consistently belongs to a particular department, for example, this can be automatically populated once the employee is selected.
