...
Down To Earth Irrigation and Utility
District applications include more than the single method of

Utilities processing to create the complete package.

| Water-Utility Software
Accounting Applications Highlights: |
| The
accounting applications center around the General Ledger, the financial statements,
and position of the utility for board members. The different DTE applications feed data
into the General Ledger or you can enter journal entries from a subsidiary system - your
choice. (Optional applications can be added at any time.) |
 |
The Down To
Earth General Ledger application provides the flexibility for financial reporting and budget
considerations without modification from standard. Interface with each application, reconcile
bank statements, export budget information for manipulation, then import again for reporting
comparisons. |
| |
Accounts Payable (Optional) records the vendor
invoices and payments, interfaced to the General Ledger for financial reporting of expenses.
Transactions carry the specific division and department distribution through the check posting and for
the layout of the laser check. MICR coding on blank check stock is
available.
Note: This application also
requires Name/Address. |
| |
Payroll (Optional)
features include specific formats for direct deposit
and DRS retirement options and reporting. Automatic time
entry transactions are generated for salaried employees with a single
step. Calculation, tracking, and reporting of overtime,
double time, sick, and vacation time for both salaried and hourly employees are standard
processing features. |
| |
The Cost
Center (optional)
application can be added at any time. Cost
Center breaks out the costs associated with doing business within the A/P application, recorded
into General Ledger, then transferred into Cost Center for additional reporting. and the
Contact with your customer base. |
| |
Contact Management (optional) enables you to build a database of questions and answers from your
customer base and prospective business partners. Group the subjects in 'Folders' to record
multiple lines of contact information. Setup a tickler system for future contact. Report on
calls scheduled to make for any given day. All wrapped together for easy
access. |

Billing Application Highlights: |
| Owners
(Customers), Mortgagee, and Vendors are only defined once and used throughout Down To Earth.
The Water Billing module denotes the Parcel and it's relationship to the person being
billed. The accounts receivable provide historical invoice history. (The
Billing suite are all required applications.) |
| |
Name
/Address application
contains both Vendors (for Accounts Payable) and Owner/Customer and Mortgagee records (for
Accounts Receivable) in a single application. This allows for complete manipulation of both types
of records at one time while keeping it simple should a vendor be a customer,
too. |
| |
Accounts
Receivable provides the
means to manage any outstanding balances from either Water Billing or billable Work Order
invoices from the central location. Reporting, follow-up statements, and dunning letters, etc are
available for help with delinquent accounts. |
| |
The Water
Billing application controls Land master records, identified by the Parcel ID and include
the legal (short) description (Range, Township, Section and Quarter section), Block, Lot, and Plat
numbers. In addition, the 2,400 character legal (long) description defines the exact parcel.
A given Land master may be associated with multiple owners, tenants or as a condominium
unit. Water Right and Class codes are defined and associated with each Land master Water
Rights Turnout and Gate combination.

| Water-Utility Operation
Application Highlights: |
|
The repair,
service, and installation end of the water or utility district business is often forgotten.
The time and inventory product utilized by the Field offices and warehouses should be managed well
to help control costs. It is worth the effort to manage this end of the business,
too.
|
| |
The Work Order application tracks repairs and optionally creates invoices for service calls. Standard
data stored in the Name/Address, Water Billing, and Inventory masters are automatically retrieved into
the work order when created for such things as the Land ID, Turnout/Gate, property alerts, item
availability, and costs. |
| |
The technical labor, the equipment usage, and any physical inventory costs are tracked
from the Inventory application. Managing the inventory physical counts by scanning the items stored and
multiple locations makes taking a physical inventory very
efficient. |
| |
Optionally the Purchase Order
application can supply the means to manage the
inventory being ordered and stocked in the various locations. Take advantage of Vendor terms and
verify PO data when entering a vendor invoice in Accounts Payable. All part of the circle of the
software management. |
