Reading Time: 2 minutes

Building something great requires the right tools. Your accounting toolbox must be agile, equipped, and ready to tackle any challenge as you work on your mission.     

If your organization is looking to automate workflows, hundreds of MIP Accounting users have opened the success toolbox, turning to Microix’s modules to build on MIP’s core accounting functionalities. Microix^TM Workflow Solutions adds features like multilevel approval for budgets, procurement processes, and reimbursements, as well as timesheet and inventory management.   

The Benefits of Automated Workflows 

Automated workflows manage repetitive tasks and processes in a user-defined order. From reducing manual entry to automating multi-level approval processes, these workflows optimize your organization and increase efficiency. In the 2024 Nonprofit Trends report, 43% of organizations used seven or more tools daily, limiting employee efficiency. 

If you want to increase productivity, the right tool for the job is MicroixTM Workflow Solutions. For example, when you use MIP’s Requisition module with Microix, you complete your approval workflow and generate a purchase order. Microix offers additional capabilities like vendor punchout and an HTML approval loop to allow mobile approvals. The core functions stay the same, and the extra features make your team’s job more efficient and streamlined.     

With Microix, you can set system alerts for elements like:    

• If documents aren’t approved promptly   

• If someone exceeds their budgeted limit  

• And many others

Along with Requisitions, Microix Workflow Modules enhances MIP with additional modules, including:  

• Budget: Enter budgets electronically 
  
  • Microix’s budget module allows you to create budget worksheets for any period. Microix automates the process by building worksheets on any program, fund, grant, department, cost center, or other designation.  
  • The module integrates with MIP and enables you to pre-load worksheets with data from both current and prior year general ledger entries.   
  • Once you finalize your budget, you can submit it through a multilevel approval process.    
  • Once approved, Microix transfers the budget to MIP seamlessly.    

• Time Sheet: Automate timesheet management 
  
  • Microix’s timesheet module lets employees electronically record timesheet entries and automatically routes them through a multilevel approval process.    
  • Once you approve the timesheet, Microix will adjust an employee’s payroll distribution code to match it and generate a regular timesheet within MIP’s payroll module.    

• Inventory: Manage inventory efficiently 
  • Microix’s inventory module makes managing your inventory simple.  
  • It works with Microix’s requisition module to create a workflow approval process that integrates into MIP.
