(1-4 of 4)MIP in the Open
- 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 Exceptionally outdated and inefficient process for clearing checks.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.
- We believe MIP Fund Accounting is a fairly efficient product.
- MIP Fund Accounting is slow to innovate and implement enhancement requests.

Abila MIP meets my needs!
- Running Reports, it is simple and easy to run historic documents.
- Fixed Assets, the module is very easy to use and keep track of assets.
- Composition, all modules being in one place is a great feature.
- Integrating with 3rd party applications
- Being able to highlight, copy, and paste straight out of MIP. Not being able to do this is frustrating.
- HR being in a different module, should be all together in my opinion.
- Importing function could be a little quicker.
- Modern UI functionality could be improved
- Saved time and effort.
- Allows for better segregation of funding sources.
- Allows for better cash management.

Honest opinion of MIP
- Cost allocation. It's easy to set up distribution codes to easily allocate costs.
- The Budget module is easy to use. It's easy to distribute the budget across all 12 months.
- Ability to save general ledger entries. Saves time when entering monthly recurring transactions.
- Reporting. If you select the wrong option in the drop down box, you need to go back to the start. Still no change in this.
- Credits in A/P. If I need to use a distribution code for a credit, I need to enter the invoice total as a positive number and then change it to negative after the allocation.
- I would like to be able to pay vendors without creating a vendor record, e.g., one-time vendors. We often have vendors that we pay one time and they have to have a record created for them.
- I cannot think of an impact MIP has had on our business. It is the only computer based system the agency has used and has been using it for 18 years. There have been no instances that have not had a solution using the software.
- Ability to track multiple projects
- Run the necessary reports for funders
- Track the issuance of 1099s.
- I do not know of any innovative or unexpected ways we use the software other than the purpose it was intended for.
- I do not know of any additional ways MIP will be used in the future.
- Price
- Product Features
- Don't know
- I am unaware how implementation went as I was not employed by the agency at the time.
- Self-taught
- General ledger entries are easy to enter. Very straight forward entry.
- Accounts Payable is also easy to work with.
- Budgets. It would be helpful to be able to take the prior year budget and edit and save as the new year budget. That would make things much easier.
- It isn't straight forward on how to print the budget once you have the entry ready.
MIP Fund Accounting has worked very well for me. It has been ten years that I have been working with the software and have never had an issue with it crashing or losing information. I would definitely recommend this software to other users based on the experience I have had.
- None
- No
- File import/export
- I cannot recall what the most recent upgrades were for.
- I hope to see better reporting as far as ease of navigating within the report area of the software.
