General accounting & DMI

The Accounting module automatically transforms your business activity (sales, purchases, payments received, payments, payroll) into double-entry accounting entries, with no duplicate data entry. You get a complete chart of accounts, journals, fiscal years, the general ledger and the trial balance, as well as a monthly return (DMI) tool.

Accounting is an add-on module of your subscription, just like Sales management or the Swifto AI assistant. As long as it is not subscribed to, nothing changes in your application: no entry is generated and the Accounting menu remains hidden.

The first time you open the Chart of accounts, Swifto automatically initializes your accounting foundation: a chart of accounts, the journals, the current fiscal year and its periods.

From the business document to the return, Swifto chains together the following steps:

When a document is validated, Swifto generates the corresponding accounting entry — balanced and posted immediately. If you edit or delete the document, the entry is automatically reversed and then regenerated.

The module adds its own permission group. Every accounting screen is protected by the 7 standard permissions (View, Create, Edit…) assigned via privilege profiles.
