About 40% of the respondents required the package to forecast cash flows. Manufacturing firms, which formed 30% of our sample, found monitoring inventory level to be an especially important function. These manufacturing firms also wanted accounting software that maintains a fixed asset schedule. Almost all respondents wanted a software that could age accounts receivable as well as monitor the company's level of accounts payable. Some respondents came up with additional features besides those listed in the questionnaire. They are budgeting and payroll accounting functions.
