C/BOOKS® can be easily customized to meet a company's special needs. Since C/Books was built using C/BASE™4GL application generation system, you too can use C/Base to change C/Books modules -- chaning file structure, report formats / layouts, and data input screens. Also, new applications can be created with C/BASE 4GL, and linked to our existing modules. For the advanced developer we even provide C and ActiveX libraries.

This task is easy because the program does so much of the work for you. You can find the information you need quickly and efficiently. On line "query" of any account, screen, or data field can be made using closest match, partial, or wild card searches. And because records are updated in real time, vital financial management information is always current.
No limits.
There are no artificial limits within the software. The number of accounts, customers, vendors, or transactions are limited only by the hardware and operating sytem. Each module has flexible account number formats of up to fifteen characters using any combination of letters and numbers. Any account, transaction, customer, vendor, or inventory item can be added or updated at any time.

The core modules (General Ledger, Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable) are provided as a set and are required by all businesses. As businesses grow and change over time, their accounting systems often need to be changed to better reflect their operations. By using C/BASE 4GL, owners can appropriately modify their C/BOOKS® modules to meet changing accounting and reporting requirements.
