Accountant Module Version 2.1:
Integrated into the Calendar function of the GEN7 DeskTop
environment is the Accounting module. This module is designed
to handle up to 4 separate accounts and handles the following
transaction types:
1) Automatic Credit (posts auto deposit checks).
2) Automatic Debt (posts auto debts).
3) Manual Credit for other types of payments and
deposits.
4) Manual Debt for personal or business checks.
The manual debts and credits allow a check number. All
transactions have a memo, recepient and amount fields.
A grace period before and after the transaction may be
specified for the calendar function to begin and stop
alerting the user of the transaction's specified post
date. A music or bell type alarm may be designated to
accompany the transaction when it is displayed on entry
to GEN7. An option is provided so the Accountant may be
started from an AUTOEXEC file to check the accounts in
the GEN7.CAL file generated by GEN7, and remind the user
every time the computer starts. A selection off of the
main menu allows account balances to be updated (Desktop
F6, then Calendar/Music, then Reconcile Acount). When
a debt or credit is shown, the color of the words: Manual
or Auto and Credit or Debt indicates the active status of
the transaction. A red color indicates the transaction
has not been posted yet. A green color indicates that
the transaction has been posted. A cyan color means
that the transaction has been posted, and this record is
a repeating template for the transaction (repeating
transactions are stored once, the posted transactions
are copied at post time). One memo file is generated
for each month scanned through in GEN7. The file names
are made of the month and year (GEN7MMYY.CAL). One
repeating transaction file is made (GEN7REPT.CAL) that
contains all repeating records and the account balances.
Take caution in specifying grace periods. Grace periods
that overlap from one repeating date to another may show
transactions as posted, that have not been. Up to 30
transactions are allowed per month unless the /cxx option
is specified at runtime. The xx is the maximum number of
memos to allow. The modify feature can change a non
repeating transaction into a repeating transaction, if the
switch Monthly or BiWeekly or Weekly are set before
modification. All fields must be modified in this mode,
the speaker beeps until it is so. Note that to minimize
the amount of internal bookkeeping, a transaction that was
not posted within the grace period will show as inactive
(Black color) out of the grace period (not Pending or Red
color). Posted transactions will show always green on the
day they were due, but if they are repeating transactions,
the repeating template will show also. To tell whether an
old repeatingtransaction has been posted, check to see if
two transactions show up on the needed post date (one the
repeating template, and one the green posted transaction).
The repeating templates show up as Repeating posted (Cyan
color), in all months, even though it may not have been
posted in that month. This reflects the status of the
transaction closest to the current date. An old
non-repeating transaction will either be inactive (Black
color) or Posted (Green color). Please be aware that
any transaction out of the grace period ('x' number of
days before and after the due date), will not alarm
at startup, and the status will be inactive (Black
color). In other words, a bill you did not post will
not nag you constantly until posted.
These modules may be integrated into one after registration (one
copy of GEN7 can be used to use either the tutors or the accounting).
To run the Desktop and Accountant, type:
G7
Songs and some data were generated with PC-HyperText Architect.
Have fun and enjoy this software!
