SapphireOne Modes of Operation

First Time Mode First Time Mode is exclusively designed for organizations initiating the implementation and launch of the Sapphire One application, along with their client data file. This process is carried out in collaboration with SapphireOne’s management consultants. The purpose of First Time Mode is to assist clients in setting up all necessary data fields and structures within their data file, as detailed in the implementation guide.
Accounts Mode Accounts Mode (F1) in SapphireOne is the initial mode among eight, featuring Receivables, Payables, General Ledger, and History. Receivables, Payables, and General Ledger each provide Data Entry, Inquiry, Process, and Reporting functions. The History section allows users to access comprehensive records of past transactions within the Accounts section, ensuring a streamlined user experience.
Inventory Mode Inventory Mode (F2) in SapphireOne follows the same design philosophy as Accounts Mode, featuring distinct drop-down menus for various functions. Sales and Purchasing drop-downs offer Data Entry, Inquiry, Process, and Reports, while Inventory drop-down focuses on inventory management. The Manager drop-down handles specific functions through a single inquiry, such as Delivery Run Manifest and Importer e.t.c. Point of Sale drop-down covers all related functions, and History stores all transactional data, including Job project-based transactions. This streamlined structure enhances the user experience within SapphireOne Inventory Mode.
Job Projects Mode Job Projects Mode (F3) shares the same design philosophy as Accounts (F1) and Inventory (F2) Modes, offering various drop-down menus for efficient management. Both Costs and Resources drop-downs provide Data Entry, Inquiry, Process, and Reporting capabilities. Similarly, the Inventory and Job Projects drop-downs include Data Entry, Inquiry, Process, and Reporting functions. The History section stores a comprehensive record of all Time Sheets and Time lines that are Job Project-related transactions, allowing for a streamlined user experience within the SapphireOne application.
Assets Mode Asset mode (F4) provides the functionality that’s required for your organisation to manage everything to do with your asset register. We only have two drop-down menus with the first being Assets is primarily focused on assets which is data entry. Inquiry posting and reporting and history which provides a historical record of all Asset transactions.
Payroll/HR Mode Payroll/HR Mode (F5) in SapphireOne offers a comprehensive solution for all Payroll and Human Resources needs, featuring three distinct drop-down menus: Payroll, Administration, and History. The Payroll drop-down provides Inquiry, Process, and Report functions. The Administration drop-down offers Inquiry and Reporting options, while the History drop-down summarises Payroll, History with Inquiry, Analysis, and Report features.
