SMATO Books

Books Software

Commercial documents in Books — payments in Accounts

SMATO Books helps businesses run sale orders, invoices, credit notes, POs, bills, debit notes, third parties, procurement, and GST e-Invoice sandbox in one micro-app, with settlement clearly owned by Accounts.

Overview

What SMATO Books is — and who it is for

SMATO Books is commercial document software under entitlement app.books that helps businesses manage sale orders, invoices, credit notes, purchase orders, bills, debit notes, third parties, procurement addon flows, GST e-Invoice sandbox, and a Books dashboard — while payments settle in Accounts (app.accounts).

It is for Finance Managers, AR/AP clerks, procurement managers, and commercial operations teams that need document chains connected to CRM masters and Accounts settlement.

Teams create SO→Invoice→CN and PO→Bill→DN chains, optional PR→RFQ→PQ→ASN→PO procurement under app.books.procurement, and GST e-Invoice/e-Way in sandbox. Document Payment tabs query Accounts APIs; outstanding amounts update from Accounts posting helpers. GL recognition posts from Books documents in the GL module.
