  • Easy to access data from any previous year.
  • The system is quick with inputs of information, no lag.
  • It really makes tracking of expenses much easier with PO module.
  • Payroll input is quick as easy.
  • With the payroll process, if there is an error in sending the stubs through email, there is no option to resend without a restore. That really needs to change.
  • Being able to void encumbrance at the same time as a PO would be an incredible time saver.
  • When processing W2 the system deletes info.

  • Cost allocation. Allows great flexibility in the setup of cost pools and receipient centers.
  • Multiple dimension coding structure. Allows complex accounting setups for multi-faceted organizations.
  • Reporting. Allows many different report configurations.
  • Exporting. Ease of exporting reports to PDF and Excel formats.
  • Importing. We now import payroll files from a payroll provider.
  • Bank reconciliation. Exceptionally outdated and inefficient process for clearing checks.
  • Accounts payable. New vendor setup process could be so much easier, especially for vendors who are already employees.
  • Credit card puchases. Badly needs improved functionality in the posting of transactions to actual vendors.
  • The import process needs to be made more intuitive.

  • The flexibility to build and run reports to pull information over many different time periods for detailed Grant and contract expenditure tracking
  • Accounts payable set up and data entry very easy to use which makes it simple to train new employees
  • MIP customer service during the initial set up and over time has been very patient and helpful with the changes that we have had to incorporate.
  • I have many reports that I built in unposted general Ledger transactions that I want to copy into posted general ledger transactions. I would like there to be a easy way for me to do that without having to rebuild the reports.
  • I would like to be able to download reports to Excel that have formulas in them.

  • Search queries for accounting/financial data to any specificity
  • Simplify data from three different software programs into one palatable system
  • Navigation all naturally makes sense
  • Could be more streamlined
  • Could have a more basic version (it is a step up in complexity from quickbooks)
  • When trying to go back to a previous page/task (the 'done' or 'back' buttons) sometimes do go back too far, but sometimes they do. More consistency of how those buttons work would help.

  • Allows for different funding sources to be set and managed
  • Easy to use general ledger and components
  • Report capability access by fund
  • Difficult to find help on your own in the help section. Easy of use in the help section.
  • Automatic session numbers generated by the system. This would provide more consistence in the ledgers along with easier lookup capability.

  • Compared to QuickBooks MIP gives much more detailed options for coding.
  • The ability to code a transaction in details gives an opportunity to run different reports with detailed criteria.
  • I absolutely like service where I can enter my question online on the website and someone will contact me shortly.
  • Most problems resolve quickly over the phone and sometimes with the MIP professional going though the problem on the employee's computer.
  • I like reports that can be run in order to see the data entered in MIP.
  • Any info that looks like hidden could be found by running report with specific criteria, which is extremely valuable.
  • I specifically like a criterion where I can enter a word or two for the transaction description and find info I am looking for.
  • I would improve the look of the customer statement. For instance in QuickBooks there was number on the invoice and the number of the payment/check made that applied to the invoice and then the balance was shown after each payment made. With MIP, the invoice and payment is shown under the same invoice number with no balance after each payment, but with the balance at the end of the statement.
  • I would make the font bigger not only on the screen where I can click on ctrl+ to make it bigger, but also inside the session.
  • When printing checks, it shows the check number, then how many checks are going to be printed. If you are already on this screen and would like to change something, you can't. There should be an option to cancel printing checks.
  • If I enter a manual receivable invoice, it doesn't look like a receivable invoice in the group, it can only be printed as an un-posted or posted session report. Manual invoices are not included into historical invoices to be printed again.

  • Versatile and flexible reporting
  • Ability to track and report by segment
  • AP integrates well with GL
  • It's not clear to a new user the sequence of AP (reports to be run) We created an internal checklist.
  • We have recently had issues with allocation calculations picking up prior month transactions that have already been processed, causing inaccurate calculation.
  • For voided checks, I would like to see an option to void and not reissue. (due to wrong vendor or entry error) We don't do this very often, but the only way I've found to eliminate the void is with an AP credit.
