Setting up your cashbook file - Part 2
Setting up money, income and expense accounts.
Setting
Up Money Accounts
In order to spend money and receive money, you have to tell the
program where you keep your money, such as a bank account or petty cash
tin. This is done in the Money Accounts window, which you can
access by clicking the Accounts navigation button (1),
and then the Money Accounts (2)
button as shown below.

During
the Setup Wizard, you were able to choose a starter set of accounts,
in other words a set of Money, Income and Expense accounts. This is
meant to give you a jump start on customising the program to your
business. From the Money Accounts window, you can change
these starter accounts to match where your business stores its
money. This could mean changing the names and numbers of the starter
money accounts, deleting any which do not apply, or adding any new
accounts which you need. For information on how to set up the
accounts, click here.
Setting
Up Income and Expense Accounts
In order to spend money and receive money, you have to tell the
program where the money comes from and goes to. This is done through
Income Accounts and Expense Accounts. Both windows are
accessed through the Accounts window shown above. For information on how to set up
income accounts, click here and for information on how to set up
expense accounts, click here.
