------------------------------------------------
This is the first of 4 menus that the program set uses. Doing a
particular job is as easy as choosing a menu number and following
the instuctions, and answering the questions that appear on the
screen.
The first thing you must do is to INITIALIZE MASTER COMPANY
INFORMATION (MAIN MENU item 3). This will create a file called
MASTCOMP.DAT that will contain the name of your company, its
address, and the rate of sales tax in your area. Entrance into
this area is password protected, to keep casual users out of this
area. The password is LEN.
The next thing you may want to do is INITIALIZE INVOICE NUMBER
SEED. This will set up a file called SEQUENCE.NUM that will tell
the invoicing program the number of the next invoice. MAIN MENU
item 4 allows you to change this number. It is password
protected and the password is LEN.
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
To set up your Accounts Receivable choose MAIN MENU item 1 and
the program AR152HD.EXE will load. After loading, the following
prompt will appear:
ENTER ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE FILE NAME:
You must assign names to your Accounts Receivable files. Each
file you name can have up to 50 customers in it. File names can
contain no more than 8 letters. The program will automatically
add the suffix .ARF to any file name you create. You can create
as many Accounts Receivable files as will fit on a disk.
After choosing an Accounts Receivable name, a menu will appear.
To enter your customers into the Accounts Receivable choose menu
item 3.
INVOICING
The Invoicing portion of the program uses ACCPAC type 9" X 11"
Invoices. It may take some trial and error to get the invoices
to line up properly. The first line of print is the 6th line
from the top of the page.
The first prompt in both the SALE OF GOODS and WORKORDER PRINTOUT
menu items asks for customer account number. If your customer is
paying cash, type CASH at this prompt.
After this it is just a matter of answering the questions that
appear on the screen. When prompted IS ITEM FROM INVENTORY,
Answer YES only if the part number has been previously entered in
the Inventory program. When prompted to ENTER FILE NUMBER TO
TAKE STOCK FROM enter only file numbers that appear in the second
column from the right at the top of the screen. If no file
numbers appear enter a zero.
Menu item 2 (CUSTOMER ACCOUNT INFORMATION) allows you to look
into each customer record by entering the account number when
prompted. To return to the menu press the enter key at this
prompt.
INVENTORY
The Inventory program, INV152HD.EXE, is loaded by choosing MAIN
MENU item 9. The program will store inventory data in 2 data
files called STOCK.LGN and STOCK.DAT.
To add new part numbers to inventory choose INVENTORY MENU item
8. The program does not sort your inventory. If you want your
data stored in a particular order, enter it in that order.
INVENTORY MENU item 9 is for updating your inventory. However,
keep in mind that inventory sold through the Accounts Receivable
system is automatically taken out of stock.
The password to continue in menu item 10 is LEN.
MONTH END
At the end of each month, you must do the following things IN
THIS ORDER.
1. Prepare monthly statements. Choose PRINTOUT MENU item 3. Do
this for all Accounts Receivable files.
2. Prepare A/R Analysis Report. Choose PRINTOUT MENU item 5.
Do this for each Accounts Receivable file. You may print this
report at any time without affecting any data.
3. Close out accounts. Choose PRINTOUT MENU item 4. Do this
for each Accounts Receivable file. Do this ONLY once per month.
The password is LEN.
4. Close out Cheques/Credits posting report. Choose MAIN MENU
item 7. Do this only once.
5. Close out Cash report. Choose MAIN MENU item 8. Do this
only once.
This will age your Accounts Receivable 30 days and store posting
information in separate history files.
YEAR END
In addition to the normal month end procedures you may wish to
erase your inventory sales data and start fresh for the new year.
If you do, choose INVENTORY MENU item 10, sub-menu item 5. The
password is LEN.
APPENDIX 1
If you have been using a version of this program that is version
1.41 or previous you must convert your inventory data files to
run under version 1.52. Included on the program disk is a
program called CONVERT.EXE. At the A> prompt type CONVERT <cr>
and the program will convert your old data to the new file
stucture without destroying your previous data. Before doing
this make a backup copy of your data files in case something goes
wrong. All other data files from previous versions (including
CP/M versions) are compatible with version 1.52.
