Throughout the process, Slingshot gives you multiple views into your underlying asset infrastructure, allowing you to generate and analyze accurate data.
Slingshotýs Fixed Asset application allows you to associate property coverage (e.g. fire and theft) by policy to an asset, detailing carrier, policy start date, end date, coverage amount and policy limitations. Slingshotýs exposure reporting highlights inadequate or excessive coverage by asset. Slingshot also allows you to track non-depreciable assets (rented or leased) and incorporate them in expense and capital forecasts.
Slingshot’s Fixed Asset Management offers numerous depreciation methods build in including, Straight-Line, Modified Straight-Line, Units of Use, Sum-of-the-Years-Digits and Double Declining Balance. Depreciation schedules can also be user defined providing the utmost flexibility and control.
Slingshot allows you to revalue assets or asset groups to account for inflation, deflation, asset improvement or impairment. Financial transactions account for the change in value automatically. You can also add a cost to an asset at a later date, such as freight, installation costs or sales tax. Accumulated and future depreciation amounts are updated automatically.
Slingshotýs Capital Budgeting facility accurately predicts future capital needs.

Slingshot’s General Ledger (GL) software speeds the process of preparing and presenting accurate financial information. The foundation is a flexible multi-dimensional general ledger account. Your account number can be any length and can be divided into multiple parts called elements (e.g. company, division, natural account). The account itself stores balances by period and type of information called dimensions (e.g. financial, adjustment, budget, revised budget, statistical). There is no limit to the number of dimensions or the years of history.
A hierarchy of account elements can be defined for inquiry and reporting purposes. This hierarchy is called a Summary Structure. For example, cash in bank and accounts receivable elements could be summarized as current assets. Furthermore current assets could itself by rolled up into total assets. Multiple Summary Structures can be defined (e.g. tax versus book).
Account summary structures ensure that summary totals are always correct. They also allow you to add new elements and connect them to reporting structures without changing reports. Slingshot’s General Ledger management allows you to inquire on summary account balances. Click on the summary balance and drill down to individual account balances. Click on a balance and drill back to the journal entries and the source documents in any Slingshot application.
Slingshotýs Financial Report writer empowers financial managers to create their own financial reports without being skilled in the Crystal Reports tool. Just define the rows and columns, and then combine them to produce a report. Any number of accounts (or range of accounts) from the GL can be included in column or row definitions making the reporting capabilities almost infinitely flexible.
Financial transactions originating in other Slingshot applications are posted to the GL when the source document is posted. These journal entries can be posted in detail or summarized by account or account and sign (debit or credit). This option can vary by type of journal. The summary option will greatly reduce the transactions in your general ledger.
