1. Fog vs. Software Files
The fog is a provisional list of entries, often used to verify before validation. In Sage or Odoo, this step also exists, but it is integrated directly into the system: the entries are entered, visible in provisional state, then validated to pass into final accounting. The major difference is that in software the fog is automated and linked to accounting journals, while in Excel it remains a manual construction.
2. Excel vs accounting software
The article highlights the advantages of Excel: flexibility, filters, annotations. Sage and Odoo also offer sorting and search functions, but within a standardized and secure framework. Excel is ideal for spot checks or personalized analyses, but it does not provide traceability or automatic controls (VAT consistency, debit/credit balance) that accounting software guarantees. In summary, Excel is flexible but not prescriptive, Sage/Odoo are rigid but reliable.
3. Coloring vs Automated Controls
Coloring amounts in Excel is a visual and intuitive method for spotting anomalies. In Sage or Odoo, this logic is replaced by alerts, error reports or reconciliation reports. The software does not color the numbers, but it automatically blocks or flags inconsistencies (for example, an unbalanced log). The approach is therefore more systematic and less dependent on the human eye.
