What is Sunsystems?

Infor Sunsystems is a robust ERP accounting and business financials software created by Infor – a multinational multibillion enterprise software company, situated in the United States of America. Infor creates software for industry niches while ensuring user-friendly software design. Sunsystems is used by over 200,000 companies in over 190 countries. With a modern, conversational user experience, SunSystems is intelligent, and intuitive, and delivers great value for all its users.

Traditional financial management systems often lock you into rules, structures, and business models that can’t evolve to meet changing needs. It doesn’t have to be that way. Infor SunSystems has the agility to work the way you want, empowering you to meet change with confidence and easily manage business growth. SunSystems Accounting does this with “smart transactions,” which capture detailed data directly at the source and allow you to see performance up close by breaking transactions down to their individual details. Whether the needs of the business change or processes are being revised, new data can be captured whenever it’s needed, and analysis can be performed on that data immediately because analytics are built directly into smart transactions.

Rather than maintain separate sub-ledgers (like traditional financial systems), SunSystems uses a unified ledger to hold all financial transactions in a single, integrated transaction set. Fast, easy access to information ensures you’ll never be out of balance. The general ledger, receivables, and payables are all combined. And you can easily report across all transactions without requiring reconciliation – all transactions are posted to the same data set simultaneously.

SunSystems includes all the functionality needed to effectively manage international growth—enabling organizations to launch into new markets quickly and efficiently. SunSystems is the only financial management solution with this level of comprehensive functionality built-in.

Sunsystems functionality includes:

Sunsystem Multicompany – independent locales functionality

Multi-company support is standard for most business accounting systems, but SunSystems takes this further with support for configurations of each business as separate locales within one deployment. Each configuration can have its own base currency, chart of accounts, and business rules to meet local requirements. Each configuration can have its own independent setup or multiple companies can be supported within a single business entity. So whether you have a local business or multinational business with operations in Kenya, Uganda, or anywhere else, you can rely on SunSystems’ multi-company capabilities for proper operations.

Sunsystems Multi-calendar functionality

While only one accounting period can be specified on a transaction, different accounting periods can be created for reporting. As data is retained at the transaction level, it can be reaggregated to different periods as required.

Sunsystems Multi-language functionality

SunSystems can be run as a single system, running simultaneously in multiple languages, and with different users accessing the system in the language of their choice. The 16 core languages are English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Russian, Arabic, Korean, Thai, Polish, Czech, Turkish, Chinese Simplified, Chinese Traditional, Japanese, and Brazilian-Portuguese.

Sunsystems 4D multicurrency functionality

SunSystems supports four currency dimensions for each transaction: transaction currency (variable), base currency (fixed per business unit), reporting currency (fixed per business unit), and fourth currency (variable). “Variable” means the fourth currency code may vary line by line with the ability to address sophisticated requirements, such as branch accounting in different currencies, tracking values by a charity’s donor, or other payment currency (which is distinct from the transaction currency, or the local or corporate accounting currencies).

Sunsystems Multi-tax (withholding, VAT, GST, QST) functionality

SunSystems’ tax calculation capability is simple but flexible. While it doesn’t support some complex calculations out of the box, SunSystems can integrate with common taxation platforms and provide automated maintenance of rules and rates. Our Ugandan, Kenyan, Tanzanian, and Rwandan clients have heavily benefited from SunSystems which seamlessly integrates with local tax requirements. It is such functionality (and more) that makes Sun Systems the best accounting software in Kenya, Uganda, and the entire region.

Sunsystems Parallel charts of accounts functionality

Organizations can have various charts of account structures for different entities. This supports the requirement of some countries to code financial data to a statutory chart of accounts structure. Acquired entities may continue to operate a historic coding structure, and different lines of business can utilize other structures that are more appropriate. Multiple charts of accounts can be maintained for each company, making it easy to apply different reporting perspectives to the same financial transactions.

Sunsystems Parallel books for different accounting treatments functionality

In addition to the actual accounting transactions, another 10 books (transaction sets) are available for each company. These books share the same accounting structure and setup but hold separate transactions—allowing the capture of budgets and commitment transactions, as well as enabling
adjustments to be recorded for alternative treatments (such as local GAAP, US GAAP, IFRS, or tax adjustments).

Sunsystems offers Smart transactions for localized reporting

SunSystems allows you to define additional data to be captured and stored on all source transactions—as well as refine what data is required for different accounts or types of transactions. For example, for a travel-related expense posting, you may choose to capture the employee code or the
destination. You can change the data capture requirements and add new dimensions. Smart transactions allow you to manage additional data requirements that arise from local accounting practices—even when the requirements change.

Sunsystems Global access and integrations functionality

SunSystems can be run in the cloud or on-premise (depending upon specific requirements to facilitate global access). By utilizing Infor OS as the underlying technology platform, SunSystems users get a unified modern experience and the ability to create configurable workflows and alerts to help optimize business processes. Integration with additional systems is achieved via Infor ION®, a component of Infor OS that enables SunSystems to connect with both Infor and non-Infor applications, services, and data sources. SunSystems users also get access to another component of Infor OS, Infor Document Management (IDM), which allows organizations to store and retrieve in-context information to enhance the user experience. Many of our Kenyan and Ugandan customers have adopted the cloud SunSystems because they can work on the go and keep their business wheels running whenever, wherever.

Get the information you need when you need it with Sunsystems

SunSystems’ unified ledger provides fast and easy access to smart transactions that deliver data and detailed contextual information. Whether it’s from a general ledger, sales and purchase ledger, or even a user-defined ledger, all the ledger data is combined in one place without having to wait for batch updates or reconciliations. You’ll be able to close your books faster, resulting in lower costs and greater efficiencies.
