A query is a question. Most accounting programs limit you to a fixed list of reporting options; in essence limiting the types of business questions you can ask. What a waste of valuable information! With these programs you must export your data to a spreadsheet, or master a complex report writer in order to get the answers you want.SIMPLE ACCOUNTING has a better system that allows you to create and save your own custom queries when running reports. Every time you print you can select from a wide variety of options to easily customize your report, including the order in which data is presented, and the types of records to be printed.

Here are some examples:

• A list of open orders, sorted and totalled by salesperson, with individual items subtotalled by vendor for only open orders which are have passed their scheduled shipped
  date, but for which no acknowledgement has been received.
• A list of paid items sold, sorted by date paid, and item category (ad specialty, stock
  tab, custom continuous forms, etc.) with a subtotal for each salesperson. This tells you
  not only how each salesperson is doing, but how he’s doing with different types of items.
• A list of all customer invoices in a particular sales territory, showing all invoices
  paid late, and displaying an average time taken to pay. Each of these reports requires
  only a few keystrokes to print any time. And you can save each report and query so that
  the next time you wish to run it you can do so with only one keystroke!
