The operator can post to a work file to proof all entries then can post them to a monthly file for reporting of financial statements. This file can contain up to one year of postings before the periods opened must be closed.

Classifications include: manufacturer, size, color, material, grade, etc. Multiple units of measure are available along with four costing methods including standard, FIFO, last, and average.

The employees may be grouped together, for example: executive, union, part time, commission, etc. for entry, processing and reporting. Posting may be made manually, automatically from a setup, through time clocks, by job if needed, etc. Payrolls can be calculated and reversed if there is a problem either in part or in whole. Checks or direct deposits can be handled. The operator can print varying info on a pay stub including notes on checks as required. The operator may print hundreds of reports using the variable options available on each reporting screen. Some of the reports include payroll register, deduction, earnings, withholdings, check register, company summary, taxes, general ledger, job, task, user defined history, seniority, etc. The direct deposit info is electronically transferred to the defined bank using employee setup bank account numbers.

An arrears capability for deductions is available. 401K and cafeteria plan processing is available including employer matching programs.

Production Control

This module allows a bill of material to be setup for items which are manufactured. The operator may setup processes (operation or routings), labor (direct and indirect) costs, and overhead cost tables. These are all assigned the items to be manufactured with the raw materials quantities and instruction used in the production process. Items can be finished goods or sub assemblies used in the production process. Work orders are created from these items. The work orders can be for the finished goods or the sub assemblies or both, all created from the single highest level bill of material. As each sub assembly or work order is completed the finished product will write to Inventory and pull down the used material. All costs including labor, material and overhead will be used to write a new cost to Inventory. A history of all processing is kept for reporting. Materials may be pulled down before the completion of any item as required. The yield and efficiency of each production process is stored and reported.

An optional planning section is available which can read OP for customer requirements, PU for raw material receipts, and PC for work orders. Also, a planning function allows the creation of forecasts of customer orders, production and material receipts. All of this is used to project material requirements, which also looks to Inventory to produce a plan for product. If there is going to be a shortage of materials it can be reported by period of time. A look to equipment required allows the operator to see if there is adequate machine access available for the actual or forecasted work orders.

Purchasing

The module allows an operator to setup vendors, buyers, GL interface, and buying classifications to help process purchase orders. Vendors can be setup in Purchasing and be copied to AP or read into Purchasing from AP. The operator may use an optional requisition systems to allow users to make their requests, allow a department head to approve it or not, and allow the buyer to approve, deny, or change the requisition. RFQ’s may be sent, quotes posted and used to auto cost items from vendors and a substitution capability is available. Purchase orders may be directly entered and printed if requisitions are not used. Buyers can be limited to only certain classes of vendors or dollar amounts. Orders can be changed, deleted or received against. The receiver option allows an entire, or only selected items, to be accepted along with quantities. Items not even in the original order can be received. Both Inventory and non Inventory items can be processed. Inventory items will be posted with costs to Inventory. The GL interface allows posting to Inventory and Inventory accrual accounts.

Multiple delivery dates may be used for the same item on a PO. Online queries are available by order, vendor, and item along with lookup tables to search item and vendor numbers by a wild card description.

Security

With each of the modules listed above is a security system which controls who can access the system and which commands in any module they can use. Access can be allowed or denied. If allowed it can be read only or both read and write. The master operator builds and maintains this system. Also, the user setup is given a password that they must use to access any module. And the user is given an id that will be automatically written to posting made in the various modules to track and audit entries.

User Reviews of Genesis Total Solution

We made the decision to move forward with Genesis for our fixed asset needs. The main reason was the simplicity of the program; not overly complicating the process. We had reviewed several options prior to Genesis that were simply overkill. The pricing was also in line with our expectations. Many of the other optins we reviewed (CCH, Thomson Reuters) we found to be very expensive.

Genesis Total Solutions is a 30 year old program that is showing its age. The demonstration showed it was NOT user-friendly as, in order to use it efficiently, one has to memorize a bunch of codes. The reports generated showed no thought to an ease of understanding. From the BRIEF look we were awarded, they appeared, for lack of a better word, ugly. And since price was one of the considerations I mentioned in our needs I was very disappointed to find Genesis was almost twice the price we are paying now for Quickbooks Enterprise.

We have been working with Genesis Total Solution for 2 years. They have great support - we have had great support everytime we’ve needed it. The software is not in the cloud. So far we are fine with it. It is very economical, which is one reason why we chose them.

It is a little antiquated but you know, it isn’t a bad software. I’m getting used to it now though. Genesis has been running pretty smooth for us. We’re using it strictly for checkwriting. We don’t have any general ledger or anything. Genesis Total Solutions has been pretty good for us.

I was a 20 plus year user on Quickbooks but with no on premise option availble for my current version, I had to look at alternative solutions. Genesis was an overall good program but in the end I wasn’t fully confident in their bank reconcilliation features and I preferred a little nicer interface.

We’re working on implementation right now. The software I had was compliant other than W2s for 2022 so we’re trying to get everything setup for the switchover. Very happy with support. Being a small shop, obviously the cost stood out to us.

The hard thing is after having used software for almost 30 years, its been a little bit challenging in the fact that it feeds opposite of what my software does. One feeds from the bottom up and one feeds from the top to the bottom. And so, it’s been completely opposite to what I’m used to for 30 years. That’s been the only challenge.

They’ve been good to work with on that and we’re getting through everything so its setup right.

My accounting needs are very limited but I can see that the program is a versatile platform than can accommodate a wide range of applications

The Good…

The fact that it allows the user to implement the program without being constrained by a “user friendly” interface. Bill provided excellent and immediate customer support.

The Bad…

I suspect that the reason I liked it may be a disadvantage to some users. A basic knowledge of accounting (mine is very basic) is probably necessary to quickly understand the program

Still trying to get used to it. It’s very helpful for inventory which is mostly what we use it for. Our restaurant manager and kitchen manager use it mostly for inventory.
