Double-entry bookkeeping
Kiu BMP automatically creates all the behind-the-scenes journal entries for each of your accounting transactions: customer invoices, point of sale order, expenses, inventory moves, etc.
Kiu BMP uses the rules of double-entry bookkeeping system: all journal entries are automatically balanced (sum of debits = sum of credits).
Accrual and Cash Basis Methods
Kiu BMP supports both accrual and cash basis reporting. This allows you to report income/ expense at the time transactions occur (i.e., accrual basis), or when payment is made or received (i.e., cash basis).
Multi-currencies
Every transaction is recorded in the default currency of the company. For transactions occurring in another currency, Kiu BMP stores both the value in the currency of the company and the value in the currency of the transaction. Kiu BMP can generate currencies gains and losses after the reconciliation of the journal items.
