Your Challenge without the Add-On for Cost and Performance Accounting

You need additional controlling functionalities, more booking features, and dimensions in Dynamics 365 Business Central? Do you want to perform advanced analyses like budget-to-actual comparisons, which are not possible in Dynamics 365 Business Central Standard?

In Dynamics 365 Business Central Standard, standard functionalities for finance and controlling are depicted for medium-sized companies.

In summary:

  • Missing features (e.g., flexible billing rates, balance sheet accounts/income statement as cost types, booking of services)
  • Limited reports (e.g., evaluations at transaction level, individual evaluation of cost centers/cost carriers)
  • Different billing systems cannot be represented (e.g., standard costing)

Discover CKL's Solution: Cost and Performance Accounting

CKL offers an intuitive cost and performance accounting software for cost control for intra-company evaluation and analysis based on it. The add-on for Dynamics 365 Business Central/Dynamics NAV provides you with quick and clear information about the revenues and costs of your company. This way, you always keep an overview and control of your finances.

The main modules of the cost and performance accounting software are the cost center accounting and the cost carrier accounting:

  • With cost center accounting, a continuous subdivision into fixed and variable costs is possible. This can be supported by a fixed allocation of amounts or percentage shares for the respective cost types.
  • If required, the cost carrier accounting module can be added, for example, if intra-company performance billing and the calculation of individual cost carriers are to be carried out.

Manufacturer’s note: CKL Software GmbH is the manufacturer of the add-on and collaborates with distribution partners like us, who introduce and support the add-on in companies.
