Drill down
The ability to move down through data summaries to the transactions that create those summaries. The feature that was pioneered in PC based systems by Iris Exchequer Software and which other developers have sought to emulate ever since. The Iris Exchequer system has driven this concept even further in its use of Object DrillÔ

Object DrillÔ
Whilst using Drill-down one can move vertically within a system Object DrillÔ allows the user to review the impact of a transaction line on all those parts of the system on which that transaction has an impact.

ObjectStock EnquiryÔ
This gives an instant stock check on the last stock record accessed by Iris Exchequer.

ObjectCredit ControllerÔ
This gives an instant credit check on the last account accessed by Iris Exchequer. It is also possible to manually type in the code of an account required to be checked, or as any daybook is scanned the display is automatically updated to reflect the account currently being scanned.

ObjectFindÔ
This utility enables you to find any record stored within the Iris Exchequer accounting system; the records you can search for are Customers, Suppliers, Transactions (Document), Stock and Serial/Batch numbers and Jobs.

ObjectCloneÔ
This facility is an advanced management tool which takes full advantage of Iris Exchequer's object-oriented design. Selecting the ObjectCloneÔ option causes a ''clone'' (a second copy) General Ledger Tree to be displayed on the screen at the same time. You can then change the period, year or currency of the ''clone'' general ledger and compare the figures to the first general ledger tree.
