Accounts Payable (AP) allows you to enter supplier invoices for purchases that you make, then create payments for the invoices
you want to pay. The system can generate payments for all invoices due, those for a particular supplier, or only for specific
invoices. If a supplier calls you to discuss an invoice, you will have complete information at your fingertips and that history can
be kept indefinitely.

are regularly re-issued, against which recurring deliveries
are made. Contract line items can be assigned to purchase
orders. These line items automate delivery schedules, with
delivery dates, prices, and corresponding quantities.
Requirements determined by Generate PO Suggestions
are calculated and realized into delivery schedules. The
schedules can be adjusted manually in order to conform
to supplier requirements, inventory control, production
efficiency, and business expediency.
Receiving
Receiving provides a central application within Epicor to
monitor incoming items. All activity relating to receipts can
be performed and tracked. Online transaction processing
promotes efficiency and ease of use, while online editing

appropriate bank personnel. Access through a web interface
allows flexibility to all authorized personnel.
Employee Expense Processing and Settlement
Automatic creation of employee liabilities from approved
expense claims. Cash advances and employee expense
reimbursements are initiated and forwarded for processing
to the bank’s core banking system. All employee expenses/
payments information is tracked through the employee
payable account, same as all other vendors.
FIXED ASSET MANAGEMENT
BUDGET CONTROL & REPORTING
The Budget Control & Reporting allows:
• To define the control amounts for each budget Dimension
(Account, Branch, Project etc) or their combination.
• To determine the transactions that will participate in the
Budget control. Such transactions are
»» Purchase Order
»» Requisition
»» Request for Quotation
»» Accounts Payable Invoice
• To determine the special Work-flow for approvals overruns.
The application controls the transactions and prevents
possible overruns now or in the future.
• To determine the control level at month level, Year-To-Date
or Year.
• To send warning / alert emails for budget overruns
• To check price differences between different purchasing
stages (e.g. Purchase Order & Invoice)
• To obtain information through specially designed Executive
Dashboards
• Save Time
• Classify your assets for reporting and analysis into an
unlimited number of asset classes and groups. These
defaults streamline initial setup and facilitate execution of
mass changes to multiple assets.
• Simplicity
• Manage asset depreciation with multiple depreciation
methods for a single asset by using multiple books.
Recalculate and project depreciation. Maintain accurate
tracking and depreciation of company assets.
• Easily Manage Mid-Year Changes
• Control under- and over-charges by choosing how
additions or changes to an asset’s depreciation charge are
treated-even when the change occurs partway through a
fiscal year.
• Flexible Charging
• Decide how to charge the opening book value of an asset
when it is less than the annual depreciation charge. Charge
it on a periodic basis until the book value equals zero, or
spread the reduced annual charge across all periods in
your fiscal year.
• Comprehensive Asset Definition
• Quickly answer detailed questions regarding the location,
source, and maintenance of your assets.
• Location: Identify the location of your assets.
• History: Document asset source, original purchase order
and invoice number, manufacturer and serial and/or model
number.
• Insurance: Capture and reference insurance information
including insurer, asset policy number, monthly premium
information, and renewal date.
• Lease: If the asset is leased, document lease information
like monthly lease cost, mileage, and lease end date.
• Fixed Assets Inventory
• Fixed Asset Inventory is a specific process that allows
the reconciliation of the asset’s physical location with its
location record in the system so that all fixed assets in
the system contain accurate location information. This can
also be assisted by integrating the FOS solution with third
party bar code reading systems for facilitating the actual
inventory process.

GLOBAL ENGINES
“FOS-OpEx/CapEx Management” is using the unique Global Engines that Epicor Supply Chain Management is built around,
which in turn support the global nature of business today, enabling effective operations in existing and new markets as necessary.
As your business is extended through a combination of organic growth and mergers and acquisitions, it can become challenged
by complex and demanding global financial and regulatory burdens - demands that you must adapt too instantaneously.
General Ledger Engine
General Ledger (GL) is the heart “FOS-OpEx/CapEx
Management”, processing and posting all accounting
transactions created throughout the other “FOS-OpEx/
CapEx Management” modules, as well as entries made
directly within the ledger.
Providing that the Bank’s Financial Department is already
using a third party legacy system, including General Ledger,
ATC’s “FOS-OpEx/CapEx Management” General Ledger
Basic functionality engine, is required to allow:
1. The uninterrupted standard “FOS-OpEx/CapEx
Management” functionality and
2. To facilitate the “FOS-OpEx/CapEx Management”
system integration with the existing third party legacy
system of the Bank.
The “FOS-FRP for Banking” provides the accounting controls
and system security necessary to help ensure the integrity of
your company’s financial data and could be complimentary.
Posting Engine
The rules-based global posting engine is central to the way
Epicor applications work, and in particular, how “FOS-OpEx/
CapEx Management” handles system transactions. Powerful
enough to support the most complex global enterprise, with a
need to configure comprehensive rules for how transactions
from sub-ledgers are managed and posted to the general
ledger, yet easy enough to support straightforward or out-of-the-
box standards.
Legal Numbering Engine
“FOS-OpEx/CapEx Management” contains a global legal
numbering engine to manage legal numbering, if and when
required, of all the transactions that need to have such a
number.
Multi-Currency Engine
“FOS-OpEx/CapEx Management” offers a global multi-currency
engine that can support an unlimited number of
currencies and exchange rate combinations. Sophisticated
currency management provides the ability to process
transactions in any number of currencies and gives your
organization the global competitive edge. Any currency can
be used as the base currency for all financial records and
accounting books, with default currencies applied at the
general ledger account, user, and supplier levels. Currencies
may also be selected and changed at the transaction level
as well. The Multi-Currency Engine is integrated with the
Multi-Currency Management module, providing: Revaluation
Options, multiple Currency Tables, Exchange Rates support,
and Reporting applied to all the “FOS-OpEx/CapEx
Management” modules available.
Multi-Company Engine
Epicor understands that managing disparate business units
offers unique challenges and opportunities with respect to
consolidation for tighter control and reduced operational
cost, enterprise-wide visibility, inter-company supply chain
management, and financial consolidation.
Epicor Multi-Company Engine along with Multi-Company
Management module capabilities can assist your organization
in consolidating operations such as procurement and
accounts payable as well as offer enhanced tools to
improve operational visibility across affiliate organizations /
subsidiaries.
The “FOS-OpEx/CapEx Management” Multi-Company
suite is a complete technology framework to support global
enterprises that is scalable, offers choice in deployment, and
includes a set of productivity enhancing tools designed for
global business operations, such as:
• Global Parts/Items and Suppliers
Defining global records that can be transferred between
organizations and maintained either globally or locally
based on a set of user-defined rules and mappings
automatically ensure that new and changed records are
sent to all affiliates / subsidiaries within your organization.
• Consolidated Purchasing
As organizations strive to gain market share and remain
competitive, it becomes increasingly important to
control procurement costs. Having the ability to combine
requirements across locations not only gives organizations
the leverage to negotiate better pricing with suppliers but
also consolidates purchasing resources.
• Financial Consolidation
Set up multi-company consolidations between affiliates/
subsidiaries within or outside the Epicor database.
Financial consolidations can even be done with
organizations on other external financial systems.

7. • Global Supplier Price Agreements
Send agreements to companies by setting up global
price agreements for purchased items to ensure they are
purchased from the correct supplier at the appropriate
global price.
• Inter-Company Eliminations
Map accounts between organizations for smooth inter-company
eliminations. With frequent mergers and
acquisitions, the general ledger account structure for
corporate and subsidiary companies may not be the same.
• Scalable Deployment
Deploy your different affiliates / subsidiaries on a single
server/single database, or on multiple databases and
multiple servers around the world.
Rounding Engine
“FOS-OpEx/CapEx Management” also supports creation of
currency rounding rules through a global rounding engine that
is subscribed to by other application modules. Highly flexible
and configurable, rounding rules may be created for specific
countries, currencies, and in support of local business or
legal practices. The rounding engine supports up to three
decimal places of currency precision.
Multilingual Data Management
Corporate growth and expansion inevitably leads to
new markets and new geographies. Epicor Multilingual
Management, alongside Epicor Global Configurable Engines
facilitates this growth, with resources that can manage your
business wherever you take it, or it takes you, with support
for country-specific requirements around tax, currency and
languages.
Epicor GRC provides comprehensive user and group security
to restrict data and application accessibility as needed.
Security can be granted at user and group levels for all
security objects including forms, fields, reports, menus, and
method calls. Data tier security is also available for both
tables and columns. There is also an option to use Windows®
Authentication to support a Windows single sign-on and
password policy.
Product Security
Product security includes protection to ensure that the
application only allows use of modules and product variations
that have been purchased and licensed.
Application Security
Application security ensures that the business logic protects
the database from corruption by always ensuring that an
update is valid, regardless of the source of the transaction.
This is necessary in a service-based architecture since
the business logic can be called from many environments
including a smart client, external Web services, browser-based
clients, and other smart devices.
Access Security
Access security verifies that whomever (or whatever) is
attempting to access the application server is permitted
to do so. This includes login security to the menu system
either by entry of user ID and password, or via Windows
Authentication, session security (same as login security)
for application components that are run directly from the
desktop or other non-menu areas, and services security
through Epicor service-oriented architecture (SOA) to ensure
that an external system may access the business logic when
allowed.
Business Security
Business security includes ensuring that individual users and
groups of users have access to the business functions and
data that they attempt to view or update.
Change Logs
Automated change logs capture changes as they happen,
helping companies better manage the accuracy of data. This
includes monitoring all changes to records (before and after
values), who made those changes, and when those changes
were made. Users are also prompted for audit notes of
why changes have been made. You are also able to create
notifications from change log events using Epicor Business
Activity Management (BAM).
Audit Logs
A permanent audit trail of access and changes is the only
way to validate what is actually happening and to monitor
the preventive controls and processes intended to ensure
transactional validity. The combination of preventive controls
with continuous monitoring gives executives and auditors
the confidence to attest to financial results and associated
IT controls. Data audit logs support compliance with other
regulations such as FDA Title 21 CFR Part 11, HIPAA, and
Basel II to name a few of the more common regulatory
requirements that companies face.
Data Level Security
Secure which data users are allowed to access. This can be
done at a dataset (e.g., all sales order information), data table
(e.g., sales order header information) or field level (e.g., sales
order due date).
DBAudit
Steadfast and trustworthy corporate governance requires
truthful leadership and attention to detail. In many parts of
the world governments are enacting legislation such as the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act in the United States that mandates
compliance to strict controls and business practices.
Working directly with Microsoft SQL Server, DBAudit delivers
an easy-to-use, secure way to track changes to sensitive data
within your business applications. Administrators can select
the information they want to monitor and DBAudit logs every
change to that data, whether the change is made through an
application or by direct table updates. DBAudit is a tactical
monitoring system that provides a record that serves as an
audit trail and deterrent to aberrant practices, making it an
ideal tool to incorporate into your internal control processes.

EPICOR PORTAL
It is essential to have current enterprise data at your fingertips to make the decisions that drive your organization to success.
But sometimes important business decisions need to be put on hold because you have to wait for someone else to get you the
data you need to make those important decisions. Epicor Portal can help by providing the framework and tools that allow you to
gather and share enterprise data without having to depend on others. With Epicor Portal, you can get the information you need
from your enterprise system when you need it, without having to wait in line.
EPICOR SERVICE CONNECT
Reduced IT Burden, Secure Data Access
Epicor Portal moves the function of gathering and publishing
data out of the hands of IT and into the organization for easier
collaboration and knowledge sharing. Epicor Portal provides
a management console where roles and security settings are
maintained. You determine exactly what your portal users
can do by creating specific security settings for every Epicor
Portal content consumer or group.
Improve Collaboration and Increase Productivity
Epicor Portal allows you to build specific content within a
portal and make that content available for use throughout
your organization. The ability to provide this level of
information access will boost productivity and improve
collaboration between your people, departments, and
divisions. Additionally, Epicor Portal can provide secured
enterprise data access to outside entities such as partners,
suppliers, and customers for added visibility and business
opportunities.
Take Action Immediately
Epicor Portal allows you to do much more than simply view
your business data; it allows you to take action. With Epicor
Epicor Service Connect is a powerful business integration platform, functioning as a central integration point for secure workflow
orchestrations within Epicor applications as well as external connectivity to Epicor and non-Epicor applications.
Promote Lean Principles
Users can automate tasks and processes within the application
to promote lean principles, continuous performance initiatives
and Six Sigma quality within the organization. Service
Connect lets employees focus on value added activities
and management by exception instead of repetitive data (re)
entry tasks. Built to support collaborative processes, Service
Connect links different business entities, applications or
users using open, industry wide standards and technology
that enables businesses to deploy solutions—confident that
their investment will remain intact for the future.
Much More Than a Programming Interface - Workflows
Epicor Service Connect is more than a tool for integration; it
is a platform for rapidly incorporating workflow and system
orchestration through visual designers with little to no
programming effort. Integrations can be easily built by using
the Service Connect Visual Data Mapping tool to link and
transform XML documents to map to different systems along
multiple communication channels and protocols to support a
wide range of integration scenarios.
Epicor Service Connect logs workflow processing for both

9. INVENTORY MANAGEMENT
Inventory Management provides the key functions necessary
to update and maintain inventory items/parts quantities and
costs. Such items/parts can be printed forms, computer
consumables, etc.
Issued inventory reduces quantities on hand, which can be
replenished through the processing of purchase orders, as
described above.
Severable sub-modules are available within the Inventory
Management, the most important of which are briefly
mentioned here:
SUPPLIER RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT
SOURCING & PROCUREMENT
• Cycle Counting and Physical Inventory
• Online Part Tracker (View parts, purchase orders)
• Part Cross Referencing, Part Master Price Breaks, Serial
Number Tracker
• Time-Phased Material Inquiry/Report
• Unit of Measure
Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) provides tools for buyers, procurement staff and purchasing agents, or those providing
quotes, to request quotes for different items or subcontract services from one or multiple suppliers. Request for quotations
(RFQs) are generated with one or more lines, each line having the ability to request pricing from one or more suppliers. Supplier
RFQ responses automatically build or add to existing part/item price-break tables, with current affectivity dates to be used in
other Epicor applications.
Buyer’s Workbench
Manage all associated purchasing transactions including

Strategic sourcing is the most important, value-added activity
that procurement professionals perform for their company.
Doing it well requires a wide range of skills and subject matter
expertise.
Sourcing by “old school” methods requires an inordinate
amount of time gathering and comparing offerings from
multiple suppliers. Automating those tasks with Epicor
Sourcing not only allows the purchasing professional to focus
more time and energy on strategic activities, it also provides
for online collaboration and fosters competition that amplifies
the value of their work.
Most frequently the Bank’s Procurement Department is
already using successfully a Procurement Management
system with which “FOS-OpEx/CapEx Management” solution
could be integrated.
Alternatively the Epicor Supply Chain Management suite
could be extended with the functionality already incorporated
in the Epicor 9 offerings as:
• Configurable Sourcing
• Automated Electronic Requests
• Weighted Attributes
• Side-by-side Comparison
• Graphical Bid Analysis
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
The key functionality of the Accounts Receivable module in every Banking environment has been replaced by the “Core Banking”
System. However several banking organizations are additionally selling other than banking products and services and thus an
Accounts Receivable (AR) module is required. The AR module provides a comprehensive set of tools to manage your invoicing,
credit, cash management, and customer management needs. Because you can specify the creation of invoices through the order
release process, you can reduce billing for a different quantity than was actually provided/shipped.
With Accounts Receivable you know who is buying what, and
who is paying their bills on time. It includes:
• Invoice Entry,
• Cash Receipts,
• Debit Notes,
• Interest Invoices,
• Adjustments
• Future-Dated Payments
• Consolidated Invoicing
• Invoice Logging
• Credit Holds
• Aging Information and Customer Reminder
• Finance Charges
• Bill-To Customer
• Manual Selection of Invoices
• Credit Manager Workbench
• National Accounts (HQ Accounts)
• Taxes
• Tax Regimes
• Sales Tax Register
• Invoice/Statement Forms
• Sales Commissions
• Sales Analysis
• Credit Card Management and Authorization
• Settlement Currencies
• Settlement Discounts

Most companies and Banks today use MS Excel for
budgeting. Simplicity has its virtues, but for organizations
with complex budgeting processes that is usually not
enough. The “FOS-Budget Management & Control” System
is a tool for Budgeting, Forecasting and Reporting featuring:
• Changing the timeline of the budget/forecast cannot be
easier - all the dates are relative and the actual base data
changes automatically.
• Different parts and levels of the budget can be structured
so all organizations are able to do vertical consolidation
upwards and downwards providing detailed data and
consolidated reports at the same time
• Any organization is able to use custom measures in
different parts of its budget - workforce, product groups,
machinery etc.
• Create templates that connect hundreds of plan
sheets sharing the same structure to facilitate changes
distribution
• Executives are able to obtain all the necessary information
through reporting and data analyses
The “FOS-Budget Management & Control” System expands
the list of Business Benefits with:
