Paprika is the leading job costing, billing, workflow management and accounting system for creative agencies.
Our fully integrated system helps drive efficiencies, streamline processes, increase profitability and enable agency growth.
The paprika team have been working very closely at picking 10 specific aspects of Paprika that you may not have picked up on and we thought we would absolutely share this with you for everyone to benefit!
Do you currently have your Accrued and Deferred Income posting to the same nominal on the Balance Sheet? If you are using Paprika 8.0.3 or higher you can now specify separate Accrued and Deferred nominal codes, please call our Help Desk on 01732 811602 to arrange a time to discuss making the change.
Do you buy or sell goods or services with companies overseas? Would you like Paprika to post the exchange difference automatically when an invoice is paid, and post a journal for the unrecognised exchange difference at month end? Paprika 8.1 has these features built in. Not already on Paprika 8.1 please email upgrades@paprika-software.com to book a date for an upgrade.If you are currently using Paprika 8.1 or higher please call our Help Desk on 01732 811602 to arrange a time to discuss turning on the new features.
Are you using our Forecasting module in Paprika to forecast Income or Billing. Did you know we have a Forecasting Toolkit that can automate some of the process? Our Forecasting toolkit can update your forecast with the actual amount you have billed leaving the remaining amount correct for next month, or if you are forecasting income it can recognise the income you want to accrue automatically based on the amount you have forecast.
