=================================================================
GETTING STARTED
=================================================================
Requirements:
To run the system it is recommended that you have a hard disk.
The system can be run on two floppies with limited disk space.
Dos Version 3.0 or higher is also recommended. Ram Memory should
be 512k or more.
You MUST have a CONFIG.SYS file on your startup disk. If you
have a hard disk then this file must be in your root directory
i.e. "C:\". If you are using floppies then this file must be on
your DOS diskette. The file must contain the following
statements:
FILES=30
BUFFERS=30
The system will not run unless these commands are added to your
CONFIG.SYS file. Once you have added them you must reboot your
system. This can be accomplished by CTRL-ALT-DEL sequence or
turning off the computer and turning it back on.
If you do not have an existing CONFIG.SYS file on your computer
then copy the one supplied on the program disk to either your
root directory (if using a hard disk) or to your DOS diskette (if
using two floppies).
Examples:
Hard Disk: Copy A:CONFIG.SYS C:\ (Program Disk in drive A:)
Floppy Disk: Copy B:CONFIG.SYS A: (Program Disk in drive B:)
=================================================================
INSTALLATION
=================================================================
To install the system on your computer simply follow the sequence
below:
Hard Disk: Place Accounting Diskette in Drive A: or B:
Type INSTALLH <enter>
Follow Instructions on the Screen
Load the program by typing: MAS <enter>
Floppy Disk: Place Accounting Diskette in Drive A:
Type INSTALLF <enter>
Follow Instructions on the Screen.
Load the Program by type A:MAS <enter>
*Note: You will be on Drive B: B>
=================================================================
MAS-FIX Program
=================================================================
The program MAS-FIX.EXE is a utility program that will build your
data files if they do not exist and Re-Index all Index Files.
This program MUST be run when installing the system for the first
time. It will create all necessary data files. To run the
program simply type:
Hard Disk: MAS-FIX <enter>
Floppy Disk: A:MAS-FIX (Program Disk in Drive A:)
(Data Disk in Drive B:)
This program can be run at any time after installation to Re-
Index all files. If you are having trouble finding an Account
Number and you are positive that it has been entered then you may
have a bad Index File. Simply exit the Accounting System and run
this program.
=================================================================
SYSTEM SETUP
=================================================================
Once the program is installed and loaded then you are ready to
set it up for use. Follow the steps below to accomplish this.
EDIT NAME:
1. Go to "Setup" from the Main Menu
2. Select "Edit Name"
3. Fill in all Spaces
*Note:
If you have a monochrome monitor that emulates color then
you may wish to place an "M" in the Monitor field to specify
that the program always comes up in Monochrome Mode.
4. If this is a registered version then enter your serial
number.
5. When you have entered the last field then the program will
save the system parameters.
CREATE HEADING RECORDS
Now we must create heading records to define our accounts. Go to
the menu item "CREATE HEADINGS". This is located on the "SETUP"
menu.
See the Appendix for an example of Headings.
Accounts are defined as follows:
'A' = Assets
'B' = Liabilities
'C' = Capital/Equity/Fund balance
'D' = Income
'E' = Expense
The first letter of the account tells the computer what section
the account number belongs in. The next (2) digits tell the
computer what Sub Group (Headings) the account belongs in.
Examples: A01 = Checking Accounts Assets
A10 = Fixed Assets Assets
A21 = Current Assets Assets
B10 = Notes Payable Liability
B24 = Accounts Payable Liability
C22 = Retained Earnings Capital/Equity/Fund
C24 = Fund Balance Capital/Equity/Fund
D05 = Income From Operations Income
D10 = Misc Income Income
E10 = Direct Expenses Expense
E11 = Salaries Expense
E34 = Utilities Expense
Create all your Headings First. Print them out before assigning
Account Numbers. This list will come in handy.
CREATE ACCOUNT NUMBERS
Once the Headings have been created we are now ready to create
the actual account numbers. Account Numbers must fall under a
predefined Heading.
Go to the section "CREATE ACCOUNT" on the "SETUP" menu.
Now create your Account Numbers for the Headings you have set up
previously.
Examples: Heading Account
A01 = Checking A01100 = General Checking
A01200 = MIA Checking
A10 = Fixed Assets A10010 = Building
A10020 = Land
D05 = Income From Op. D05100 = Sales
D05200 = Programs
E10 = Direct Expenses E10005 = Advertising
E10100 = Paper
E10200 = Postage
The "Bank Account (Y/N)" tells the computer if this is an account
to which deposits will be made or checks written. If it is place
a "Y" in this field.
=================================================================
BUDGET MODULE
=================================================================
EDIT SECTION
If you are going to use the budget module then select the
"BUDGET" option from the main. Go to "EDIT BUDGET ACCOUNTS".
Here you may enter a twelve month budget value for each account.
After you have entered the first dollar amount you can press the
"F5" key to spread the previous value into the rest of the
fields. The can be done from any month at any time.
PRINT SECTION
This option will allow you to print your budget on the printer.
You can print a single month or the totals for the year. When
the date menu appears simply select the month you want and press
enter.
VIEW SECTION
This option will print the budget to a disk file and allow you to
view the file on the screen. The disk file is called
"ACCOUNT.PRN". After selecting this option you transport this
file to another software package if you so desire.
=================================================================
POST MODULE
=================================================================
This module is used to enter Bank Deposits, Bank Checks, and
Journal Entries. This is the only place in the program where you
can enter data into the ledger.
*Note: When entering any type of transaction the date entered
must be in the current period you will receive an error.
You can always look at the bottom of the Main Menu and see the
current period in which you are working.
ENTER CHECKS
Use this option to enter checks written from a bank account.
When you select this option a list of all your bank accounts will
appear on the screen. Select the account you are working with
and press enter.
*Note: If a bank account did not show up then you will need to
go to the Setup Menu, Edit Account section, find the account
number and place a "Y" in the "Bank Account" field.
When the checking screen appears you will be prompted for Date,
Reference Number (or check number), Amount, and Description (Who
you wrote the check to).
After you have entered this information you can enter up to seven
debit accounts for this check. Only one is required. The
balance off all entries is shown in the bottom right corner of
your screen. This number must be zero before the computer will
accept the check.
If you need to look up an Account Number press the "F1" key. A
list of all Account Numbers will appear on the screen. Select
the one you want and press enter. The Number will be placed in
the field and the description will appear next to it.
Next enter a short description for this transaction and the
amount of the transaction. In most cases the Transaction amount
is the same as the check amount.
After you have entered all information you must press the
PAGEDOWN key to record this transaction.
DO NOT PRESS THE ESCAPE KEY UNLESS YOU WISH TO ABORT THIS CHECK.
ENTER DEPOSITS
Use this option to enter Bank Deposits made to Checking or Saving
Accounts. When you select this option a list of all your bank
accounts will appear on the screen. Select the account you are
working with and press enter.
*Note: If a bank account did not show up then you will need to
go to the Setup Menu, Edit Account section, find the account
number and place a "Y" in the "Bank Account" field.
When the deposit screen appears you will be prompted for Date,
Reference Number (or deposit number), Amount, and Description
(Where the Money came from).
After you have entered this information you can enter up to seven
credit accounts for this deposit. Only one is required. The
balance off all entries is shown in the bottom right corner of
your screen. This number must be zero before the computer will
accept the deposit.
If you need to look up an Account Number press the "F1" key. A
list of all Account Numbers will appear on the screen. Select
the one you want and press enter. The Number will be placed in
the field and the description will appear next to it.
Next enter a short description for this transaction and the
amount of the transaction. In most cases the Transaction amount
is the same as the check amount.
After you have entered all information you must press the
PAGEDOWN key to record this transaction.
DO NOT PRESS THE ESCAPE KEY UNLESS YOU WISH TO ABORT THIS
DEPOSIT.
JOURNAL ENTRIES
The journal entry program is used to make entries to the ledger
that does not effect a bank account (Check or Deposit). Many
entries will be posted to a Bank Account but not in the form of a
check or deposit.
This program was written in the form of a single entry ledger.
HOWEVER, the balance of the entry you are making must equal zero
when you are finished or you will not be able to finalize your
entries.
The program will ask you for several fields of information.
Date, Account Number, Debit or Credit (D/C), Description, and
Amount. Enter all this information and press enter. The balance
of the Journal Entry will be displayed in the lower right corner
of your screen.
You can stop at any time, exit the journal entry screen, and
return later to complete the entry. However, if you do this the
Journal Balance in the lower right screen will reset to zero.
This does not mean that you entry does not balance. When you
print the edit report you will find out if you balance or not.
You can also press the "F1" key to locate an Account Number.
EDIT REPORT
This option is used to print an Edit Report of all entries posted
so far. This is the report that tells you if the Posting File is
in Balance. You should print this report periodically while
posting to verify that you are in balance.
FINALIZE
After you have entered your checks, deposits, and journal entries
you should print an edit report. If the report is in balance you
MUST Finalize.
The Finalize program will take all the entries that have been
posted so far and move them to the permanent ledger.
=================================================================
REPORTS MODULE
=================================================================
The Reports Section has several reports and can be run for one
month or the entire year. Please note that in some cases when
you select Year-To-Date the computer will look at the current
period and print the report from the beginning of the year to the
current period (not December unless the current period is
December).
To print a report simply select the desired report from the menu
and press enter. You will be prompted with a date screen. The
menu bar will automatically be positioned on the current period.
If this is the month you wish just press enter. If you want
another month then place the menu bar over that month and press
enter.
A message will appear requesting that you start your printer.
Verify that your printer is ready and press enter.
The reports are:
- Income Statement
- Balance Sheet
- Trial Balance
- General Ledger
- Account Analysis (One Account)
- Account Analysis (Multiple Accounts)
- Expense Statement
- Check Book Statement (Or Savings)
- Current Income Statement versus Budget
- Current Income Statement versus Last Month
*Note: If you feel that other reports need to be added please
write down what you are looking for and mail to me.
=================================================================
VIEW MODULE
=================================================================
I will not take up much time here. This section does the exact
same thing as the reports section except it prints the report to
a file called "VIEW.PRN" and allows you to view this file on the
screen. You can always View or Print the last file generated by
selecting the option "VIEW GENERATED" or "PRINT GENERATED".
If so desired you can exit the program and copy the file
"VIEW.PRN" to another computer or send it across the phone line
to someone else. The file always contains the last Report
Viewed.
=================================================================
CLOSE MODULE
=================================================================
This module allows you to change the current period or close the
year.
CURRENT PERIOD
To change the current period simply select this option and enter
the desired month. The computer will change the period to that
month. All entries posted will now go into this period.
CLOSE YEAR
The "Close End of Year" does more than change the period. This
option adds up all the months and places this number into the
beginning balance for the next year. It also places zeroes in
all the months. The entire Income/Expense section will be
blanked out to start the next year.
ERRORS:
If you have not Finalized the entries made on the "Posting" menu
then you cannot close the Year.
If you have not made an entry to move Net Income to the Balance
Sheet you cannot close the year.
