Epicor Prophet 21 Finance & Accounting FAQ
Does Prophet 21 automate collections?
Yes. Cash Collections automates the collections workflow, prioritizing accounts and sending customer billing reminders rather than relying on manual follow-up lists.
Can Prophet 21 report financials by dimensions other than the chart of accounts?
Yes. Dimensional Accounting lets financial reporting be sliced by dimensions such as sales rep, order class, or project without expanding the chart of accounts itself.
Does Prophet 21 handle sales tax automatically?
Yes. Tax Management calculates sales tax, manages exemption certificates, and automates tax return filing through an AvaTax integration rather than requiring manual tax calculation.
Does Prophet 21 support multi-entity financial management?
Yes. Financial Management provides general ledger, accounts receivable, and accounts payable functions with multi-entity support, alongside budgeting and forecasting through Financial Planning and Analysis.
Is Prophet 21's finance module strong enough to run without a separate accounting system?
Prophet 21 ships a complete general ledger, AP, and AR, so it doesn't require a separate accounting package. That said, its financial management is rated moderate rather than a core strength — the platform's real differentiation is distribution-specific inventory, pricing, and warehouse functionality.
