Expense Master for Auto/Mate

Do you miss your Vendor/Base Expense report from your old R+R or ADP system? Expense Master from Sandi Jerome Computer Consulting imports a special report we create for you in OfficeMate* that links to Expense Master and then enables you to see all the expenses for a certain vendor for the month – or see the combine expenses for a certain account number.  It uses vendor and base account analysis. You can then print all or a portion of the report.  Created in Excel, you can run and refresh monthly, then save as a monthly file; ExpensesJuly2010.  By analyzing and saving your expenses, you are starting the first step to Sandi’s method of Item Expense Detail and reducing expenses (see Super Controller II Guide – Expenses.) * OfficeMate has a limit of 60,000 lines, so you might have to run the report twice to get all your data for one month if you’re a bigger dealership.

“The owners think it’s a great report! I have saved the expense report as a .pdf and printed it for the owners and managers.  We don’t show the managers all the payroll detail so I really like the way I can collapse the base accounts and show only the total line for whatever accounts I choose before saving their copies as a pdf.  I believe this report will be much quicker to put together each month than the one I had on R+R.” Tom Greenberg, Controller, Polar Chevrolet Mazda
