Are account names global for the entire company? How do I use the GL Store number to identify our different stores?
Account names in Bravo will be global for your entire company, however you can still identify transactions from one store to the next. For example, the Account Number in Bravo for the Layaway Holding account can be renamed "Layaway-*STORE*", and the GL Store Numbers for stores A and B can be "StoreA" and "StoreB". When posted, layaway numbers relevant to Store A will be placed in the record for account "Layaway-StoreA", and numbers relevant to Store B will be placed in the record for account "Layaway-StoreB". Numbers or letters can be used in both the Account Number and the GL Store Number.
Generally speaking all of our stores are setup the same, but due to some internal structuring issues some of our accounts are named differently to the extent that simply using the *store* wild card would not suffice. Would we be able to apply completely different names for a few of the stores?
Unfortunately, this is not possible under one company in Bravo.
I can't find my posting? I closed my store last night, what happened to it?
Post to Accounting is triggered by the store opening for business the next day. Opening your store will lock all of the previous days transactions. Prior to opening your store, you can still void the closing and make corrections as needed. Once the store is opened, this is no longer possible.
Is classing supported?
Our current Quickbooks .iif export simply places the Account Number in Bravo in the area where the Account Name in Quickbooks (ACCNT) would appear. There is not currently a way to configure class in Bravo.
How are “misc cash transactions” setup?
If you are referring to cash paid out of a till for a store need, we refer to these as cash disbursements. Depending on the disbursement Type, or reason, the amount will post to a specific general ledger account. We have 17 disbursement types, which can be renamed. When renamed in the general ledger, the Cash Disbursement option will be renamed as well.
Do transactions come through individually or as a sum of the account type? Can this option be configured to how we like it?
The .iif file generated by Bravo produces sums of the values associated with specific Account Numbers. Even if you have multiple accounts in Bravo that post to the same Account Number, you will see one sum for that Account Number. If you wish to see which transactions contribute to the sum, you can run a Detail By Transaction report on the day to see each transaction and all of the accounts it individually affected. This Detail By Transaction report is not exportable to .iif directly from Bravo.
Are fees and interest split? For example, I do see a “Loan Ticket Fees” entry, and a “Loan Interest” account.
Yes. "Loan Interest" is for loan interest, "Loan Ticket Fees" is for standard fees, and "Loan Ticket Misc Charges" is for fees charged as a result of an exception, like a lost ticket fee or a notice fee.
Is there any way I can see an actual iif file that includes transactions?
You can convert an .iif file to a .csv file by changing the file extension. You can see an example below.
