Accounting in a multi-company ERP

Double-entry postings, a group chart of accounts, trial balance and month-end close — generated automatically from the sales, purchase and stock documents you already raise in 4softerp, across every company you run.

Accounting in 4softerp is not a separate application you feed by hand — it is the financial layer that receives entries from sales, purchasing, inventory, manufacturing and payroll as they happen. Every order, goods receipt and delivery produces its own journal entry through the posting engine, so nothing is keyed twice. You work in double-entry under OMFP 1802/2014, on a group chart of accounts that carries RAS and IFRS side by side. You close the month on each company and consolidate the group in the same platform. Trial balance, profit and loss and cash flow are recalculated as you post, per company or aggregated across the group.

  • Double-entry bookkeeping under OMFP 1802/2014 — a group chart of accounts, configurable per entity profile (micro, standard, NGO).
  • Journal entries generated automatically from operational documents — sales, purchases, inventory movements, fixed assets — through an idempotent posting engine.
  • Parallel RAS and IFRS reporting on the same group chart of accounts, for entities that report under both.
  • Trial balance recalculated in real time; month-end and year-end close per company, with period locking.
  • Statutory registers — Journal, Inventory Register, General Ledger — produced from the ERP on demand.
  • Profit and loss account and cash flow statement in the dashboard, per company or consolidated across the group, exportable to Excel and PDF.
  • Built-in bank reconciliation: CSV / MT940 import and automatic matching of receipts against customer invoices.
  • Data stored in the EU under GDPR; ten-year electronic archive for accounting documents.

How the accounting module works

Going live takes one to two weeks: you set up your companies, the group chart of accounts (micro / standard / NGO, plus the IFRS mappings), document numbering series and the posting rules. From then on every operational document — a sales invoice, a supplier goods receipt, a production consumption note, a depreciation run — writes its own journal entry. Primary accounting (sales, purchase, bank and cash journals) feeds itself from the sales, purchasing and treasury modules. You review, adjust manually where judgement is needed, and close the month. It is self-service throughout: you send documents to nobody, you work directly in the platform.

Who the accounting module fits

The module is sized for limited companies and groups handling anywhere from a few dozen to tens of thousands of documents a month. Micro-companies on turnover tax (1% or 3%) and companies on the 16% profit tax use the same chart of accounts configured differently. In a group, each entity keeps its own books and consolidation happens in the same platform, with intra-group transactions eliminated. Associations, foundations and NGOs get a separate chart of accounts and their own statutory reports. Because it is a cloud subscription, there are no per-module licences and no infrastructure for you to run.

Native links to sales, purchasing, inventory and your bank

Accounting in 4softerp is fed by the rest of the ERP. A sales order becomes an invoice, the delivery relieves stock at moving average cost, and the posting engine simultaneously records the revenue, the output VAT and the cost of goods sold — all under one document number. Purchases and goods receipts create the supplier liability and the stock entry together. Bank reconciliation imports statements (CSV / MT940) and matches receipts to invoices automatically. ANAF e-Factura is wired in natively through SPV, so invoices issued and received land in the journals without exporting and re-importing between applications.

Reports for decisions, not only for ANAF

Beyond the trial balance and the statutory filings (D300, D394, D390, D406 SAF-T, annual financial statements), the reporting module gives you management figures: turnover by cost centre, gross margin per product or business line, customer profitability, budget against actual, a 90-day cash flow projection and consolidated group KPIs. Everything is recalculated from the ledger as you post — you do not wait for month-end close to see where you stand.

Frequently asked questions

What does the accounting module cost?

Accounting is part of the 4softerp cloud subscription; there are no per-module licences. The price depends on the plan and the number of companies you run, not on how many documents you hand to somebody else. The full plan list is on /pricing.

Can I bring the trial balance across from my previous system?

Yes. At implementation you import the opening trial balance (opening balances by account) together with the analytical balances for customers, suppliers and stock, through a structured import. After the import you work directly in 4softerp — nobody external needs to be involved.

Do I have to key in every document by hand?

No. Journal entries are generated from the operational documents: a sales invoice, a supplier goods receipt or a delivery each write their own entry. Incoming e-Factura documents arrive automatically through ANAF SPV, mandatory for B2B in Romania since 2024. You only key in operations that have no source document in the system.

How does the ERP help during an ANAF tax audit?

Every supporting document and journal entry is archived electronically for ten years and traceable back to its source document. You can export SAF-T (D406), the journals and the trial balances in the format inspectors ask for, directly from the platform. The ERP produces the evidence; you are not waiting on a file somebody else holds.

Can I see the company position in real time?

Yes. The dashboard shows current turnover against the prior period, the balance available across reconciled bank accounts, receivables due and overdue, and a 30/60/90-day cash flow projection. The figures recalculate as soon as you post a transaction in the ERP.

Can I move from micro-company to profit tax inside the ERP?

Yes. You change the entity tax regime in 4softerp and the chart of accounts and tax computation adjust from 1 January of the following year, or from the point the threshold is exceeded. Comparative reports in the ERP help you weigh the 1%/3% scenario against 16% before you commit.
