He didn't ask about accounting programs. He asked about how to determine who is late.

WISPmon, Sonar, and a host of others. They are NOT accounting programs. They are billing, scheduling, provisioning, etc, but not accounting. You end up making a dozen or so general journal entries into your accounting program to run P&L's and the like. I think that question is debated once every 4 months or so on this list.

I assume you figured out the common SW thing so you don't have to wonder who is late. We had no less than 6 bank accounts for similar reasons at one point. With all the online access it is pretty easy to keep up with. <blockquote> On Fri, Mar 17, 2017 at 12:27 PM CBB - Jay Fuller < [email protected] > wrote: </blockquote> <blockquote> <blockquote> When you have more than one office scattered hours apart how do you handle check payments at each office? how do you handle cash payments? do you locate a bank with a presence in each location?

In the town we've just acquired assets and geeks of a wisp they also have their local bank - but none of our local banks. it is about an hour away. do you: 1) have regular meetings where supplies are exchanged for cash/check payments? (we have had a large coverage area for a while but we usually drop ship equipment) 2) open a bank account at the local bank at the new town and have the office deposit payments there, then weekly run a report and write a check on that account to your main company bank account? We have discussed shutting down the office but the local folks have won - it is a small rural town, they like the people (and we have kept some of them) - they like to do business face to face and largely in cash! ahhh - rural america. gotta love it! thanks! </blockquote> </blockquote> </blockquote>
