Organisation of work

ERETES is an expert system: It guides the user as he compiles his accounts and offers assistance at each stage of the work.
For this it calls on four tools:

Distribution of tasks

Using the classifications the user has set up, ERETES compiles a list of tasks to be completed to compile the accounts: a supply/use balance for each product, a production account and generation of income account for each industry, a who-to-whom matrix for each transaction, a loading for each source.
The database administrator will then divide all these tasks between the members of the accounting team: everyone knows what he has to do:

Log (or checklist)

The slicing of the work is displayed on the "Log" in the chronological order of its completion. Each basic task is included, showing the name of the accountant responsible for it and its state of progress: i.e. initial, started, checked.

Each time a task is completed, the accountant is invited to update the corresponding element of the Log (or checklist). (see screen copy)

Hypertext help

If an accountant encounters difficulties with his work, he can call Hypertext help. He will be asked to identify the particular point on which he needs information: the table on which he is working, the transaction or valuation method of the cell where he is located, the sector concerned, etc.

Notepad

If the accountant wishes to keep a note justifying his reconciliations, he can use the Notepad. This will propose a space for anything he wishes to note, and will record it in the base. The context in which the note is created (product, industry, transaction, sector, etc.) is also recorded. A search tool then permits easy recovery of all the notes relating to a given criterion.
