Overall Satisfaction with Financial Edge
The modules that make up Financial Edge (General Ledger, Accounts Payable, and Student Billing) are used by finance. The Student Billing module is also used by the Registrar's Office.
- Data entry - detailed, but straightforward.
- Query - very powerful and easy to use.
- Overall, the interface looks like something from the early 90s. Users tend to fight the interface until they get used to doing their particular tasks. However, once they know how to make it work in one area, the interface is very similar across the program.
- That is difficult to answer, as the organization has used Financial Edge for a very long time. I would say the ability to add a project ID to any transaction in the GL makes it much easier to report on all revenue and expenses belonging to a single project, without having to create project-specific accounts.
