Bar-Stat Chambers Administration

Developed in 1999, Bar-Stat is a Microsoft Access based package designed to solve the particular problems associated with preparing Chambers accounts. It combines information from a number of sources, does calculations on it, and then produces monthly statements for individual members.

Bar-Stat works in conjunction with Sage Line 50. It uses ODBC to seamlessly gather together billing information directly from Sage.

The key advantage of the package is that it is based on the principle that any transaction should only need to be entered once - in Sage. Traditionally, chambers that have used Sage have needed to double enter many transactions.

Bar-Stat takes care of:

* Charging rent/rates etc to members - using floorspace occupied or fixed desk rents
* Charging chambers expenses - as percentages of fee income
* Recharging any individual expenditure
* Making any necessary adjustments
* Producing printed statements
* Posting invoice values back to a Sage customer account for each member
