CAPEX Rule Setup

This is a new feature in pcFinancials r1.2.

The CAPEX business rule will assist in automating budgeting of Capital Expenditures by automatically calculating and updating Income Statement and Balance Sheet based on the rule setup.

  • This can in the next step be used to create automated Cash Flow calculations based on Income Statement and Balance Sheet please refer to Cash Flow rule setup.
  • An overview of Automation and Business Rule options can be found in Business Rule Automation Overview.
  • This Business rule can utilize Statistical Accounts (which may only exist in this system) and where data is entered through Microsoft Excel, pcMobile or systems integration. This which gives unprecedented flexibility to configure and automate business processes.
