Where you could simplify
Some tools are different ways to do the same job. Others sound similar but answer different questions. These are suggestions for reviewing your tool list.
Best place to start
Two ways to print a customer statement
Customer-only shortcutPrint one customer's statement
Broader optionPrint customer or supplier statements
Both can prepare a customer's statement PDF. The broader option also handles suppliers and reports for all accounts.
Suggested simplification: make the broader option the main choice, while keeping the older shortcut working until users have moved over.
Another strong candidate
One dashboard with three views
The dashboard already opens a business overview, a period comparison or payment follow-up priorities. Each also has its own separate tool.
Suggested simplification: offer one dashboard choice with clearly named views. Keep the calculations and detailed results underneath it.
Similar names, different jobs
These should stay easy to tell apart
StockStock on a past date versus current stock and reorder levels
SalesShop-counter sales versus invoice-ledger sales
PricesConfigured selling prices versus prices charged before
PurchasingPreview a purchase plan versus save real purchase requests
Combining the names without keeping these differences clear could lead to the wrong report or an unintended record change.
What about the advanced reports?
Many advanced reports overlap with simpler business tools, but some reports and special filters are available only through the advanced option. Keep those available for administrators while guiding everyday users to the simpler choice.
