Forget Those Post-Its -- Schedule Tasks to Run Automatically

Eliminate those post-it notes stuck on your computer screen with reminders of programs you need to run on a certain day or at a certain time. Let the PowerShift Job Scheduler (JOBS) handle it for you!

Many processes can be scheduled to run automatically, including:

Registers Registers that are not set up to update general ledger when transactions are entered are great candidates for scheduling. In -- inventory to GL registers (like IMI adjustments and receiving registers)
Print Queues You may want to to run your invoices to a print queue instead of directly to a printer or fax/email device. Print queues allow you to additional sorts on the copies and enable you to group emails/faxes to a given address. Use the job scheduler to process the invoice print queue after the close of business: printer & fax devices are more likely to be available during off hours and invoices are "in hand" at the start of the next day.
GL Journals Use JOBS to schedule the processing of GL allocation and recurring journals on a monthly (or other periodic) basis.
AP Invoices Schedule fixed expense processing to automatically create invoices each month (or any required interval) -- ou no longer have to remember to run the Fixed Expense Processing (NFP) program.
Past Due Notices Notices of past due invoices can be automatically sent out to customers on a regular basis.
PowerShift Reports All PowerShift reports can be saved with different sets of options -- and you can schedule reports with selected options on a regular basis. For example, you could print the AR Aged Trial Balance (RT) at the end of each week, with a summary by customer name and backward aging, and email it to a group every Friday.
Report Generator & *QICLOOK reports Schedule custom reports to perform checking and notification: a report that checks inventory and sends an email to the planner with a list of item's with low inventory levels, a report of sales orders that were due to ship that day but did not, a report of items that have been in inspection more than x number of days, etc.
Spooler Maintenance Keep spoolers clean by scheduling *SPOOL command files to erase spoolers or delete older or unwanted jobs on a nightly basis.
