I'M NO ACCOUNTANT (TM)
Multiple Business Journal Template
Copyright 1991 Willis E. Howard, III

INSTRUCTIONS FOR JOUR10.WK1
Because the Single Business Journal Template JOUR1.WK1 is easier
and faster to use, it is recommended that you start with that
template. The manual JOUR1.DOC gives detailed instructions on the
operation of the single journal template. Registered users will
receive the manual in printed form.
However, if you operate several businesses from one checking
account, the Multiple Business Journal Template JOUR10.WK1 is the
appropriate template to use. For example, you may wish to keep the
income and expenses for various rental properties separate while
having only one checking account.
The I'M NO ACCOUNTANT template JOUR10.WK1 allows you to operate up
to 10 different businesses from one checking account. This is done
by introducing a new classification, the BUSINESS NUMBER, which can
have values from 0 through 9.
The BUSINESS NUMBER appears in the journal, ledgers, and on the
printouts. It is requested on data entry screens, and included in
the help screens.
Before using template JOUR10.WK1, first issue the command JOURNAL
CLEAR to set up the overall business name, starting date, and
initial checking balance. This is the same way that JOUR1.WK1 is
started.
Then, for each business, issue the JOURNAL MODIFY BUSINESS command
to associate a business number with a business name. Keep a list
of these numbers handy so that you can enter them on the Payment,
Deposit, and Salary screens.
If you give a BUSINESS NUMBER on the EXTRACT INPUT screen, only
journal entries for the specified business will be extracted.
Otherwise, all business numbers will be selected.
If you examine where the information is stored in the spreadsheet,
you will notice that the ledgers require many more columns in
template JOUR10.WK1. When the journal is balanced, and
transactions are transferred to the ledgers, there is much more
work to do. This also takes more time, making JOUR10 slower than
JOUR1.
Unless you need to operate multiple businesses out of one checking
account, it is faster and easier to use JOUR1.WK1. If you need the
advanced BUSINESS NUMBER feature, it will be to your advantage to
use JOUR10.WK1.
