A general ledger that posts from the deal you wrote

Most dealership software stops at the deal and hands the rest to a bookkeeper. AutoEdge posts the sale, the commission and the money into a real double-entry ledger, so the statements are built from the deals rather than re-typed from them.

The books

  • A chart of accounts and a double-entry journal, with every entry balanced before it exists.
  • An entry is never edited — a correction is a reversing entry, so the history stays readable.
  • Monthly periods that close, and a closed period refuses a posting dated inside it.
  • Manual journal entries for the adjustments that need a person, each with a reason.

Money in and money out

  • Receivables derived from the ledger, aged from when the charge happened rather than the last activity.
  • Vendor bills coded to expense accounts, paid in part or in full, with credits and voids as reversals.
  • Bank statement import and reconciliation — it ties, or it names exactly what does not.
  • Commissions posted as a payable and paid from a statement per rep per period.

The reports a dealer actually reads

  • Profit and loss by period with front, back and other as their own subtotals.
  • Balance sheet as of a date, cash flow, sales journal and a trial balance.
  • An inventory schedule with the floorplan against each unit.
  • Vehicle profitability from what was frozen at the sale, and tax liability by period.
