3.0 Posting Entries
-------------------
3.1 Overview
------------
Entering finanacial transactions into an entry data file may
be accomplished by any one of three ways by selecting the
appropriate option from the Post Entry Activity Menu.
1. Posting Paycheck Entries
Automatic posting of pre-defined paycheck budget amounts
to various categories and accounts.
2. Posting Pre-Defined Entries
Posting of pre-defined common repetitive entries (auto or
house payments, etc.).
3. Posting Entries
Posting individual transactions one at a time (groceries,
gift purchase, interest deposit, etc.).
The maximum number of entries per data file is 9990 which
requires approximate 650 K of disk space. An expected number of
entries for an average household would range between 1500-2500
entries per year (140 K). If desired, entries for more than one
year may be posted to the same data file (see 7.4 Beginning
Next Year's File). Disk space required may be computed as
follows:
Data file size = (160 + No. of Entries) x .064 K
Entries once posted can not be deleted. But, the last entry
number may be changed so that the most recent entries may be re-
entered (see 6.8 Change Entry Limits). Should any entry become
void, edit all entry items to zero. It is suggested that entry
numbers be recorded on receipts, check books and other documents
to assist in locating transactions should the need arise.
Chronological posting of entries is not required but would
enhance entry listings and printouts since entries are processed
in the order posted. It is suggested that blank entries be
posted from time to time to allow room for late and unknown
transactions. This will help keep entries grouped by day and
month. When the first entry of a month is posted, the program
automatically posts five blank entries.

3.1 Overview (continued)
------------
Entries that specify a credit refund transaction have a special
effect on category and monthly totals. Refund transactions do
not increase category or monthly credit totals but decrease
debit totals so that credit totals do not include double amount
postings. Credit refund entries do, however, increase the
specified account credit total.
Example: A $50 gift purchase which is then returned
Entries Posted Gift Category Totals

3.3 Post Paycheck Entries
-------------------------
Paychecks and other sources of income may be posted as lump sums
or portions thereof may be distributed to different categories
and accounts (see 6.1 Category Information and 7.3 Posting
Paychecks).
To post a paycheck to various categories, select <1> or <2> from
the Post Entry Activity Menu. The items specified in posting the
last paycheck are displayed. The first six items, Date through
Accounts, are required to post a paycheck.

Next one will post with the First Transaction
Last and First Account. Next Category through
Last Category will post with the Last
Transaction and Last Account. Categories
that have budget amounts of zero are
ignored. There must be at least one
non-zero budget amount between First and
Last Categories for Posting Activity to
begin.
4 Transaction: First First and Last Transaction correspond to
Last the two category ranges above. Transaction
selection is limited to credit types 2,3,
4,6,7 and 8. To handle paycheck deductions
that do not contribute to net worth, the
second Category range is posted twice:
Once with the Last Transaction to post a
credit and then with the Last Transaction
plus 8 to post a debit. The Category
amounts and Last Account are used for both
credit and debit entries.
5 Amount The paycheck gross amount.
Budget The budget amount is the total of the
budget amounts assigned to the First
through Last Categories inclusive. Amount
of paycheck must equal budget total for
the posting activity to begin.
