Budgets can cover monthly, quarterly or yearly periods, with spreadsheet import and export workflows. Transaction features include invoice entry, automatic check numbering, check printing and reprinting, spending alerts and rules. Users can associate documents with transactions, vendors, income sources, fixed assets and employees. Dozens of predefined reports are available, and Easy Reports lets users design reports or choose fields to print or export. PDS Ledger can extract contribution totals from PDS Church Office or Formation Office and integrates with PDS Ledger/Payroll.
