Automatic document production – fast and accurate invoices, credit notes, purchase orders, printing statements and payroll documents are all done automatically.

Accuracy – there is less room for errors as only one accounting entry is needed for each transaction rather than two (or three) for a manual system.

Availability of information – the data is instantly available and can be made available to different users in different locations at the same time.

Management information – reports can be produced which will help management monitor and control the business, for example the aged debtors analysis will show which customer accounts are overdue, trial balance, trading and profit and loss account and balance sheet.

Legibility ­– the onscreen and printed data should always be legible and so will avoid errors caused by poor figures.

Efficiency – better use is made of resources and time; cash flow should improve through better debt collection and inventory control.
