What is AccountEdge Mobile

About AccountEdge Mobile
AccountEdge Mobile is intended to be a mobile tool for our customers who want to enter their most often recorded transactions while away from the office. AccountEdge Mobile is not a "mobile" version of AccountEdge. AccountEdge comprises over 20 years of development, improvements and enhancements. Cramming all of AccountEdge’s technical capabilities into an iPhone or iPad is unrealistic and probably overkill. That said, if you have a favorite feature you'd like to see added to AccountEdge Mobile, you can always let us know by posting on our Discussion Forum (http://support.accountedge.com/discussions).

Invoicing in AccountEdge Mobile
AccountEdge Mobile currently does not store or track inventory levels. As such, Item Sales can only be created as Orders or Quotes but not Invoices. Once synced to AccountEdge, you can change the Order or Quote to an Invoice at which time the AccountEdge will determine if you have a sufficient quantity on hand. Service and Time Billing sales can be created as either Quotes, Orders or Invoices through AccountEdge Mobile.

Inventory Items on Time Billing Invoices
Entering Inventory Items on Time Billing transactions is not available in the initial release of AccountEdge Mobile. We hope to include this capability in a future 1.x release.

Activity Slips
Payroll Activity Slips were not part of the initial scope of AccountEdge Mobile development. If you need to track time for employees or subcontractors in Payroll Categories, have a look at Time Tracker, our new web based time billing service.

AccountEdge Mobile Costs
AccountEdge Mobile is Free. Although we reserve the right to change our minds at some future point, we have no plans to charge for AccountEdge Mobile.

AccountEdge Mobile Compatibility
AccountEdge Mobile supports AccountEdge 2011 in the USA. We do plan to release this functionality in most (if not all) of our international releases in 2011.

Reports in AccountEdge Mobile
There are no reports in AccountEdge Mobile. All the reports are in AccountEdge. AccountEdge Mobile is meant to help you view lists and enter transactions.

Adding Items, Accounts and Jobs
The ability to add new Items, Accounts or Jobs is not available in the initial release of AccountEdge Mobile. The Cards list is the only list that can be appended. Of cource the ability to add new transactions is also possible. This is not to say that we won't add this functionality in future updates.

Multiple Currencies
AccountEdge Mobile currently does not support multiple currencies. All transactions created in AccountEdge Mobile will be set to your local currency. Cards: Customer, Vendor, etc., that have a foreign currency associated with them will not be synced to your mobile device.

Carriage Returns in Notes/Description Fields
Although you can enter carriage returns in Notes and Description fields in AccountEdge Mobile, you will receive an error or warning when you perform a sync in AccountEdge. Carriage returns will be stripped out upon syncing with AccountEdge. You will also receive a warning message about an invalid character. The carriage returns will be replaced by spaces upon import.

This issue will be addressed in an update to AccountEdge.
