Build my requirements →Epicor Kinetic tax, compliance and revenue management
Beyond the standard general ledger, receivables and payables core, Epicor Kinetic includes named tools for tax automation, revenue compliance and cost distribution.
Tax Connect
A cloud-based sales tax tool built into Kinetic that calculates tax in real time, generates reports and files returns automatically, rather than relying on manually maintained rate tables.
Revenue recognition
Supports the revenue recognition rules businesses need to comply with ASC 606 and IFRS 15, which matters for multi-element contracts or subscription-based revenue.
Compliance and audit trail
Includes a built-in audit trail with full transaction visibility, supporting regulatory compliance without a bolt-on audit tool.
Advanced allocations
Distributes specific costs across departments, projects or cost centres using user-defined rules, for businesses whose overhead allocation is more complex than a flat percentage split.
Automated recurring billing
Sets up recurring invoices for subscription-style customer relationships, reducing manual billing work for repeat business.
Epicor Kinetic project and multi-entity accounting
Kinetic's finance module also covers businesses that need to track results by project or by legal entity rather than only at the company level.
Project accounting
Tracks costs and revenue on a project-by-project basis, giving financial visibility into individual jobs rather than only company-wide totals.
Intercompany and multi-company management
Businesses running more than one legal entity can manage each company's finances separately while still producing consolidated reports, with built-in support for intercompany transactions and eliminations.
Credit management
Lets finance teams set customer credit limits, monitor outstanding balances and trigger alerts as a customer approaches its limit.

Epicor Kinetic Finance & Accounting FAQ
How do you set up automatic receipt matching in Epicor?
Automatic receipt matching in Epicor Kinetic is configured within the AP module's payment and matching settings, aligning incoming supplier invoices to purchase order receipts using tolerance rules you define. It reduces manual invoice review by auto-approving matches within set price and quantity variances. Exact setup screens vary by Kinetic version, so your Epicor support portal or implementation partner is the reliable reference.
Can you run more than one group payment in Epicor?
Group payments in Epicor Kinetic batch multiple supplier invoices into a single payment run. Whether you can process more than one group payment in parallel or per period depends on your Kinetic version and AP configuration; Epicor's finance module is functional but generally rated less deep than SAP or Oracle for complex multi-batch payment workflows, so confirm this behavior with Epicor support.

Yes. Epicor Kinetic manages multiple currencies and exchange rates, which suits businesses operating internationally, and it handles the accounting for currency gains or losses on those transactions.
