Using Corporate Organizer


Article summary

The Corporate Organizer add-on allows child care organizations with multiple locations to compare center performance (with an Operations Report) and generate export files for time card hours and AP/GL activity that may be imported to third party payroll and accounting systems. Requires MS Excel 2013 or better.

Overview

Use the corporate organizer to:

  • Create an Operations Report: Generate a spreadsheet (.xls format) with data from multiple locations. This report gives you information to audit and compare center performance, revenue flow and enrollment.
  • Export Payroll Hours: Export employee time card hours from the Procare Employee Data module for importing into a third party payroll program, such as ADP®, Paychex®, etc. You’ll work with the Procare Development Team to customize the export file to the unique requirements of your payroll system.
  • Export General Ledger: Export accounts payable / general ledger data from the Procare Expenses & Ledger module for importing to a third party financial system, such as Sage MAS 500®, Great Plains, etc. You’ll work with the Procare Development Team to customize the export file to the unique requirements of your financial system.

You can save multiple configurations long as they are different in some way. For example, some users might want separate files for “Weekly” and “Monthly”.

To save the configuration, select the Configuration menu at the top left of the opening screen.
