Note 1: The financial series
includes the general ledger, accounts payable, bank reconciliation and
FRx Reporting modules.
Note 2:
Does not include applicable sales tax and fees for installation and
consulting. Great Plains is a powerful accounting system.
One drawback of the power is that it is too complex to install yourself.
You will incur significant fees for installation and consulting.
As a general rule of thumb, the installation and consulting fees can run
about as much as the software licensing fees.
