General Overview
aACE is a complete accounting, contact management and enterprise resource management system that can manage your entire business. The system is intuitive and easy to learn, so users spend less time in training.
The modules are grouped by function in the Main Menu and related records are linked throughout the interfaces, so users can easily find their way around. For more information on general system conventions, refer to the topics in Getting Started with aACE.
Main Menu
The Main Menu is used to navigate the system. The modules are grouped into sections identified by the folders at the top level. Clicking a selection opens the folder to the modules inside.
The top part of the menu contains quick access buttons to the Notices and Dashboard modules. Notices are messages generated by the system or a user and linked to relevant records. The Dashboard gives management a graphic overview of the financial statements and a snapshot of current and aging receivables and payables.
The bottom part of the menu contains quick access buttons to the Tasks, Co-Workers, Timeclock, Calendar, and Zoom Preferences modules. It also contains links to the New Call Entry and Offices modules.
