System Structure

WorkBook is a multi-company, multi-currency system. It is structured in a way that allows for a record to sit in multiple hierarchies and have relationships to many different attributes, which provides the flexibility to report at different levels on the same set of data. The golden record that ties many attributes together Is the Job. We will take a look at the main structures below, and for each structure, provide further information.

Highlights of company-based structures and functionality:

• WorkBook companies are subject to ‘cross-company user permissions’, which allow you to share resources and information across your different companies, and still keep data private where required.

• Each operating company has its own set of accounts, balance sheet, creditors, and debtors ledger

• Whilst there is much configuration that lives at a database level or client level, and some settings, such as approval workflowsthere are also a number of company level configurations that allow a company to incorporate different structures and rules than the overall database. Such as:

  • Approval workflows

  • Financial posting rules

  • Business rules, such as default working hours or scheduling principles

  • Integrations, such as document storage and automated invoicing uploads

• A consolidation company is used for reporting and has its own set of accounts. All companies linked to the consolidation company must have the accounts mapped into the consolidation company accounts.

Master Data Structures

Master data is the key data that lives across your organization. We will explore some of the main concepts of the most used and most important master data structures in WorkBook.

Employees each also have their own (linked) creditor record for the purpose of expense and mileage reimbursement.

Dimensions

Dimensions are powerful and customizable attributes that can be enabled on various records across the system. They can default onto certain records based on specific business rules. Some dimensions can also have workflows attached; such as revenue recognition rules, approval workflows, or the automatic application of job templates.

Dimensions can be reported all the way through to the P&L and Balance Sheet and so offer a scalable and dynamic alternative to traditional hierarchies such as accounts. This means you can run a P&L by client, division, industry, contract type, or revenue stream, amongst others.
