Sales invoices
Issue and void invoices. Each branch keeps its own statutory numbers, and the print copy is frozen at issue.

Ledger and reports
Every document posts to one general ledger, so the reports agree with the invoices, bills and payslips behind them. Post the period, check the trial balance, then read the balance sheet.
- General ledger: every posted line, by account, branch and dimension.
- Trial balance and balance sheet for the period you choose.
- Opening balances for each branch, and a year-end close.
- Recurring journals repeat your standard entries, and manual journals wait for approval.
Bank and cash
Reconcile each bank account against its ledger account, one statement at a time. The bridge between the book and bank balances is shown, and open items carry forward to the next period.
- Import the statement from a CSV file, with the columns you set.
- Match each statement line to its ledger entry. Groups of lines can match a group of entries.
- Post bank charges and interest as adjustments, so the books match the bank.
- Finalize the period. Open items carry forward, and the difference shows zero when the bridge ties.
Example
A bank fee of 15 appears on the statement but not in the ledger. Post it as an adjustment, and the book and bank balances agree.
Sales and purchases
Quote, invoice and collect on the sales side. Order, receive and pay on the purchase side. Each document carries its tax code and posts to the ledger.
Credit and debit notes
Correct an invoice with a credit note, raise a debit note, and record refunds.
Terms and instalments
Set payment terms for each customer, split a balance into instalments, and give early-payment discounts.
Aging and statements
See what each customer owes by age, and the statement for any period.
Bills and payments
Record supplier bills, allocate each payment to the bills it settles, and run batch payments to several suppliers at once.
Quotations and purchase orders
Quote before the sale, and record the customer's purchase order before the goods leave.
Tax
Tax is set line by line, so one invoice can carry more than one rate. The codes follow the company's VAT registration, and each country has its own tax pack.
- Tax codes on every sales invoice, supplier bill and order.
- A registration gate, so the codes match the company's VAT status.
- Jordan and UAE tax packs, and withholding tax.
- The UAE VAT return, reconciled to the ledger.
Example
An invoice has a consulting line at the UAE standard rate of 5% and an export line at 0%. Each line is taxed on its own, and the VAT total follows the lines.
Fixed assets
Register each asset once. A depreciation run works out the charge for each period, and you check the run as a draft before you execute it.
- An asset register with classes, and each class mapped to its accounts.
- Depreciation runs by period: draft first, then execute, with one voucher per branch.
- Four methods: straight-line, declining balance, units of production and manual.
- Capitalise bill purchases, and track construction in progress until it is settled.
- Disposals and corrections, with a reconciliation to the asset accounts.
Costs and dimensions
Tag each line with the branch, department, project or machine it belongs to. The profit and loss and the budgets read the tags, so one ledger answers many questions.
Dimension tags
Tag journal lines with a branch, department, project or machine.
Profit and loss by dimension
Read the profit and loss by any tag, not only by account.
Roll-up in four levels
Group tags under parents, such as a region over its branches, up to four levels deep.
Splits across projects and machines
Split an invoice or bill line across projects, machines or departments, and split one salary across machines.
Controls
Decide who can see and change what, and keep a record of every change.
Roles and permissions
Each role sees and changes only the modules you allow.
Audit log
Every change is recorded in the audit log.
Sign-in with an authenticator app
Sign in with one-time codes from an authenticator app (TOTP).
Branches with their own numbers
Each branch keeps its own invoice numbers, payroll and asset postings.

Questions about accounting in BYTE
Do all documents post to one general ledger?
Yes. Sales, purchases, payroll, assets and bank entries post to the same ledger, with branch and dimension tags where you need them.
Does BYTE match the bank statement?
Yes. Import the statement from a CSV file, match each line to the ledger, post the bank charges and finalize the period. Bank reconciliation is built.
Does BYTE handle VAT?
Yes. Tax codes sit on every document and are set line by line. The UAE VAT return is reconciled to the ledger.
Can I track fixed assets and depreciation?
Yes. Depreciation runs by period, as a draft and then executed, with four methods and one voucher per branch.
Can I see profit by branch or project?
Yes. Tag journal lines with a branch, department, project or machine, and the profit and loss shows each dimension.
