Reference Manual
SPC-ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
(Version 1.2)
This accounts receivable program offers the following
attributes:
Data integrity of (c)BTRIEVE
Virtually unlimited accounts and records
Menu driven and very easy to use
Uses standard size paper to print statements
Generous sized descriptions for statements
Businesses whose statements also act as their invoices will
appreciate the generous description allowed (see example below).
Many service type businesses will really appreciate this feature.
The program must be started with the enclosed SPCAR.BAT file
by entering SPCAR at the prompt to load BTRIEVE and the program.
NOTE: use of accellerated file handlers such as ram disks, etc. will
defeat the security features of BTRIEVE. You should always make
backups of all your important data files on a periodic basis. While
the BTRIEVE file handler offers exceptional data integrity, no
software can be completely safe from problems such as system or
hardware failures.
You must have a proper CONFIG.SYS file in your root directory
to use this program. If you have problems running the program,
please see instructions near the end of this document file.
For those wishing to use the program for cash sales as well,
this is also provided for. By assigning a low account number for
a cash sales account, it can be easily maintained. When printing
statements and certain reports, the lowest account number will be
displayed as the starting number to print. You can change this
number and thus eliminate lower numbered accounts. You may find
this feature useful not only to keep up with sales but with sales
taxes also.
If you like the program, send 35.00 to become a registered
owner. You will then be sent the owner of record version. It
has the added option of choosing a drive for your data files. It
also provides for printing a single statement of an account as
needed. Remember, only owners of record can be notified and sent
updates.
Please feel free to make copies of this version for anyone
who may have use of the program.
Your support is appreciated.

=====================================================================
DISCLAIMER
USER ASSUMES ALL RESPONSIBILITIES IN THE USE OF THIS PROGRAM.
MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND THE PROGRAM FULLY BEFORE USING IT.
=====================================================================
Following are instructions by menu options. Function key
options are displayed on the bottom of data entry screens. Use of
the various standard keyboard keys (cursor keys, PgUp, PgDn, etc.)
are allowed in the data entry screens. The F10 function key will
usually save the data at any time you wish and the ESC key will
cancel the data entry. You can press the number of the menu option
or use the arrow keys for your selections.
MAIN MENU
Option 1 Charges Menu
Brings up Charges Menu
2 Payments Menu
Brings up Payments Menu
3 Accounts Menu
Brings up Accounts Menu
4 Period to Date Menu
Brings up Period to Date Menu
5 Company Name
Use this option to enter company name, address and
phone number. You are also allowed one line of
information to be placed in your statement headings
and one line to be placed at the bottom of the
statements. The top line could be used for a logo
and the bottom line for terms of payment.
The program will center the above lines on your
statements. If you wish to use pre-printed letter
head statements, leave the second line of the
address blank. The program will then leave blank
all lines above the customer names. You may also
want to experiment with the compressed mode of your
printer for this option.
6 EXIT
Closes files, removes the BTRIEVE file handler
and exits the program. You should always exit
programs properly when finished with them. The
ESC key will also exit all menus.
CHARGES MENU
Option 1 Entries
Use this option to enter charges on your accounts.
Accounts must exist or the program will not accept
charges. Use the Accounts Menu to establish your
customer accounts.
The program will first prompt you for the account
number. If it exists, you will then be prompted
for the charges to appear on the statement. The
data screen will display the customer name, current
balances and the comment line of the account.
You can enter sales, taxes and other charges as
needed. Although the program will only print the
total on the statement, it will retain these
different charges for your uses later. They will
appear on various selected reports.
The data information line is identical to the line
that will be printed on your statement. You can
enter the date, reference (invoice number, etc.)
and description of charges. The program will let
you enter blanks if you so choose. This can be very
useful for itemized charges (see example under
print statements). Program will save the data when
description is entered. You can also use F10 to
save the data at any time you wish. The program
will retain the date and description as defaults
for the next charges, the use of the F10 function
key can be very useful then.
Adjustments or credits can be entered using the
minus sign in front of the amount to be credited.
These credits will be retained for the current
