An ERP system for export, import, foreign currency transactions, and project-by-project profitability management(Accounting, sales, purchasing, and logistics management modules)

Plaza-i is an ERP system that supports multi-currency in quotations, sales, purchases, receivables/payables, and general accounting. Export and import-related functions are provided as standard, such as export-related document creation, export/import arrangement, import charges, and foreign-currency denominated receivables and payables. Plaza-i has a Forward Exchange Contract Management module in the product lineup. Even the general accounting module supports profitability management for each project (project management).

The ERP package (accounting, sales, purchasing, and logistics management modules) is best suited for the following businesses wanting to streamline the processing of foreign currency transactions and export/import operations: international trading companies, export companies handling large overseas projects, companies wanting to integrate export/import operations into one system, companies wanting to manage forward exchange contracts efficiently and effectively, and companies involved in tripartite trades.

An ERP package for foreign currency transactions and exchange contracts(Accounting, sales, purchasing, and logistics management modules)

Plaza-i is an ERP package system that supports multi-currency and has no limit on the number of currencies that you can use. One of the Plaza-i product lineup is a Forward Exchange Contract Management module that associates not only with the receivables and payables modules but also with advances received of sales orders and advance payments of purchase orders; therefore, forward exchange contracts can be allocated even at the stage of sales order and purchase order entries.

Mission-critical export documents

Because of associating with the partial delivery process of sales order voucher, export invoice data can automatically be created and multiple invoices can be combined into one invoice (or another export-related document can be created). Since Plaza-i has its forte in supporting businesses engaging in both exports and imports, you can complete necessary processes without implementing a separate system to handle only exports.

Import business (from foreign currency, English PO, partial delivery, arrangement, and cost allocation to tripartite trade)

For imports, receiving schedule records are generated for partial deliveries from a purchase order voucher (supporting multi-currency and PO issued in English). They can be put together (by invoice number through import arrangement) to create a receiving schedule list and to allocate import charges. Since the purchasing module seamlessly works with the logistic module, implementing a special system is not necessary to calculate import costs. As for tripartite trade, just like domestic direct delivery, exports (sales) can automatically be recognized at the same time with imports (purchases) being recorded.

Multi-currency profitability management for overseas projects

Multi-currency profitability management for overseas projects

If you are in global trading business, engaging in large-scale exports, to purchase goods from multiple vendors in several currencies and sell them in different currencies, you need not only to manage actual profitability but also to forecast it by utilizing forward exchange contracts (FEC).

As an ERP package system, Plaza-i provides a function that we call Sales Project which enables profitability management for each project by associating multi-currency advance payment/receipt transactions to FECs with internal interest allocation even considered while credit reviews are conducted.
This is the best choice for large-scale export and import operations.
