WebXpress Accounts- Salient Features
WebXpress has an Integrated Online Financial Accounts System compliant with Indian GAAP

data entry by over 80%
WebXpress Accounts helps customers to track P&L, TB and BS of every location individually

location
WebXpress Accounts follows a SINGLE and UNIFORM Chart of Account (CoA) across locations.
The CoA is controlled centrally and no location can add/ edit any accounts groups or ledgers
The sub-ledgers in CoA are created from Masters thus there is no need to create separate sub-
ledgers for every location
As a centralized CoA, there is no need to consolidate accounts of various locations. Accounts are
entered into a SINGLE CoA but referenced by locations
Understanding WebXpress Accounts Features
CENTRALISED & ONLINE ACCOUNTS
This means that locations can not change
accounts rules
Provides high integrity of accounts structure
As entries are entered across India, central
accounts can see the effects immediately
No need to get accounts data from across
locations and consolidate
AUTOMATIC & INTEGRATED
As operation transactions happen, relevant
account entries are automatically posted
No need to take transaction data to
accounting system and post manually
Saves data entry by over 70% as more than
80% of accounts transaction originate in
operations
For example, when a bill is generated, Billed
Debtor ledger is Dr. and Income Cr.. When bill
is collected Bill Debtor is Cr. and Cash/bank
Dr.

Automatic Posting Treatment Chart
All operational transactions are integrated with accounts as per pre-set accounting rules
These rules define instance of accounting, location and entry
The rules are set in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards as set by ICAI and in line with
Accounting policies of customer
For example, following rule sheet defines accounts treatment when bill is generated
Understanding WebXpress Accounts Features
EVERY LOCATION AS PROFIT CENTER
All accounting entries are posted in
WebXpress along with reference of location
Thus it is possible to view every ledger
filtered by a every location
This helps to check P&L, TB and BS of every
location individually
The location can be grouped by area or
region to get area wise or region wise P&L
analysis
REAL TIME CASH & BANK STATUS
All Dr and Cr entries are posted as
transactions are carried out
Cash/ bank is Dr./ Cr. as a result of these
entries
All transactions can be viewed in form of a
Cash & Bank statement
It is possible to view cash & bank statement
of ANY location from anywhere subject to
rights
Thus, management has an ONLINE & REAL
TIME idea of cash/ bank position of entire
business
Chart of Account
CoA features
Chart of accounts is specified in WebXpress
by company’s accounts department
CoA remains SAME for all locations and can
not be altered by locations
CoA is managed centrally and modifications
care carried out with approval from Account
Head/ CFO
WebXpress provides its own internal account
code to each account group and ledger
It is possible to also define company’s
internal accounts code against each account
or group
It is possible to add new account heads or
inactivate existing account heads
System accounts
Some of the account heads are also used to
post automatic accounting entries for
transactions
These accounts are embedded into
transactions
These accounts CAN NOT BE removed from
CoA, but names can be changed
Example accounts:
• Billed Debtors
• Sundry Creditors
• Cash in hand
Sub-ledgers from Masters
WebXpress removes need for creating sub-
ledgers for customer, vendors, vehicles,
drivers etc.
Accounting transactions are posted with
reference of relevant code
For example when Bill Debtor is Dr, system
also records customer code against that
transaction
Thus, ledger can then be viewed with
reference to a particular customer or vendor
as the case may be
This avoids need to maintain masters and
sub-ledgers separately and still provides view
of every sub-ledger
