- ║ ║
- ║ There are several modules that can be used to document ║
- ║ travel/entertainment expenses. ║
- ║ ║
- ║ Form 2106 is a salespersons IRS facsimile form ║
- ║ which can be kept up to date on a monthly basis. ║
- ║ ║
- ║ Since this section encompasses the spreadsheet, the input ║
- ║ will change as you enter data. That is add the new amount ║
- ║ to the last amount and your records is updated as you go. ║
- ║ ║
- ║ This form is an exact duplicate of the IRS form and so ║
- ║ what you tabulate can be transferred to the real form easily. ║
- ║ ║
- ║ You can print the record for your own hard copy file. ║
- ║ ║
- ║ One other formatted spreadsheet allows you to input expense ║
- ║ records and again print a hard copy if needed. ║
- ║ ║
- ║ The other database form allows you to put in data on a daily ║
- ║ basis and the report options menu will print out the record ║
- ║ for you. This is a handy and fast form to use. The comments ║
- ║ fields allow you to state where your expenses took place. ║
- ║ ║
- ║ The Auto Worksheet is also a spreadsheet that contains a listing ║
- ║ of possible repair items. This details precise auto repair ║
- ║ expenses and also keeps a record of service warranty. Since ║
- ║ the form exceeds 80 in column width, print the record if needed ║
- ║ in the compressed mode on your printer. ║
- ║ ║
- ║ Another database is called Entertainment and one is called ║
- ║ TODAY. These you get into from <E> ║
- ║ ║
- ║ TODAY is helpful in tracking daily mileage. ║
- ║ ║
- ║ Use any or all of these sections to provide yourself a ║
- ║ safeguard against possible IRS audits. The better your ║
- ║ entertainment/car expense records are the less hassle with ║
- ║ IRS, plus, you will find yourself detailing every single ║
- ║ business street expense. ║

- ║ TODAY ║
- ║ ║
- ║ This module was designed to help you track your Daily Mileage use ║
- ║ for IRS Tax Deductions, if you use mileage deductions. ║
- ║ ║
- ║ However, there can be another use for this module: ║
- ║ ║
- ║ There are nine lines which have fields for time and distance. ║
- ║ ║
- ║ Using your territory map: ║
- ║ ║
- ║ Locate your customers, and prospects. ║
- ║ ║
- ║ Pull up your Next Contact calls, segment the days, ║
- ║ ║
- ║ Go to TODAY, use the Calendar to select your day. ║
- ║ ║
- ║ Now, route your calls by distance and estimated time allowance ║
- ║ per customer. Use 1st col for time, 2nd for distance, the 3rd ║
- ║ column is for your call record (where you were) ║
- ║ ║
- ║ Not only will you have paced yourself for the day, but you have ║
- ║ a ready TODAY report, ready to add actual miles, actual time ║
- ║ used at the end of the day. ║
- ║ ║
- ║ You will be able to study past records to determine actual time ║
- ║ used point to point and how much time you spent with an account. ║
- ║ ║
- ║ Using this infoprmation you will be able to find additional ║
- ║ selling time to mine for new accounts. ║
- ║ ║
- ║ This plan suggests that you will know in advance how many calls you ║
- ║ will be making for the week, which accounts to service first. ║
- ║ ║
- ║ If you use this record daily, whether or not you use it to keep ║
- ║ a record on auto related expenses, you can monitor your daily ║
- ║ calls by logging time used, distance and who you called on. ║
- ║ ║
- ║ When you want to see how many times you called on Cutomer XX ║
- ║ when you were in the area, do a Search. ║
- ║ ║
- ║ Every call you made on Customer XX will be pulled up. ║
- ║ ║
- ║ The comment line can be used to date the diary note if made. ║
