It was made for all you Amiga owning people to keep track of all your spending and much more ! With Financial Accounts you can set up regular transactions (direct debits), a budget, and keep track of your investments. Financial Accounts can also be used to help run a small business by using its VAT features. Input and output VAT reports can easily be obtained. On the disk are some sample files for you to look at so you can see how its all done. The sample files are either what I've made up or what I've entered from other accounts programs to compare results, etc. 1.2 Features All of the below features are available on any amiga with 1mb or more: . Up to 1000 Transaction per month ! . Up to 100 Accounts, Markers, Transaction Types and VAT Codes . Up to 100 Investments, Regular Transaction and Budget entries . Cut/Copy/Paste transactions, investments, budgets and regular transactions . Accounts are shown month by month . A reference window to show account codes, etc. while entering data . Projects can "Autoload" when Financial Accounts is loaded . Projects can be "Autosaved" every set number of minutes . Date, time and free system memory can be display at all times . Set screen colours to however you want . Save all preferences . WB 2+ style user interface on all Amigas. . Search for transactions, investments, budgets and regular transactions . Budgets can easily be entered by using the budget calculator . Reports of the following: > Markers > Transaction Types > VAT Codes > Budget > Regular Transactions > Account Summary > Account Statement > Income & Expenditure > Budget Progress > VAT Statement > Portfolio > Networth 1.3 Limitations Financial accounts is capable of handling very large amounts of money. Unfortunately there is a limit. If a balance exceeds +/- 21474836.47 then very incorrect readings will be given. For example, if you credit a value, and the total value exceeds the limit, the result is a negative number of no meaning at all. This happens when calculating balances, budgets and investments. Unfortunately, the error appears to go unnoticed in most situations, so the final balance may be incorrect. Reports will sometimes display <overflow> instead of the actual value. Just make sure that no calculations exceed the extremely large limit, which is unlikely. 1.4 Concepts The text contained in this document file may refer to terms that unexperienced users may be unfamiliar with. Please read the following before you continue: RMB Right mouse button LMB Left mouse button Point To use the mouse to move the pointer over an object Click To press the left mouse button on an object Double Click To quickly click the left mouse button twice Enterbox A box where text & numbers are entered Tickbox Toggle this box on or off by clicking on it Select To click on an entry so it is highlighted De-Select To click on an entry so it is not highlighted Activate To click inside an enterbox so that text can be entered Menu Located at the top of the screen by holding down the RMB 2 GETTING STARTED 2.1 Starting & Installing To use Financial Accounts V1, you need an Amiga with at least 1mb of memory and a disk drive. A standard A500 runs the program with sufficient speed, and on an A1200 with a HD, the program runs like magic. Floppy Disk Users To run the program, simply slip the disk into your machine and the disk will boot into workbench. Double click on the FinAccV1 disk icon a window will open displaying the what is on the disk. Double click on FinAccV1, and the program will load. Hard Drive Users Installing the program couldn't be much easier. Simply insert the disk and double click on the FinAccV1 disk icon. Then double click on the InstallFA icon and follow on screen instructions. Further details on installing the program can be found in the "ReadMe" file contained on this disk. 2.2 Creating A New File To create a new file, select "New File" from the project menu. If there is a file already open, you will be asked if you wish to continue. A window will then appear asking you to select the start of the financial year. This is just a start point for all the balance calculations and the like. Usually you just enter the current month and year. You will then be asked if you want to use the set up from another file. If you choose to do so, the file selector will pop up asking you to select a file to load the set up from. All the data from that file will then be loaded into your new file for use, except of course the transactions. The file requester then appears asking for you to type in the filename to save the file as. Remember to locate an appropriate path. (I recommend that floppy disk users should use a blank disk for there new file instead of the program disk because of the limited disk space available). If you requested the use of the set up from another file, and that file had regular transactions in, the regular transactions will be updated to the file and the file will be re-saved. 2.3 Loading A File To load a Financial Accounts file, select "Open File" from the project menu. If there is a file already open, you'll be asked if you wish to continue. The file requester will appear asking you to select a file to load. The file should end with .FA which signifies that it is a Financial Accounts file. If the file you select had any regular transactions, they will be automatically be updated to the present day. If you don't have a battery backed clock, then the system date will have to be manually updated before the regular transactions can work properly. When the regular transactions are updated, make sure the file is saved before you have finished so that next time the file is loaded, Financial Accounts knows when they were last updated. If the file isn't saved after the regular transactions are updated, they will be re-updated next time the file is loaded, so you'll have double entries ! 2.4 Saving A File If you have a file open, at some point you'll want to save it. To do this, select "Save File" from the project menu. The file will be saved under the current project name. 2.5 Closing A File If you are finished with your file, you can close it by selecting "Close File" from the project menu. Quitting Financial Accounts, loading or creating another file closes the current file automatically. 2.6 Quitting To quit Financial Accounts, choose "Quit" from the project menu. If you have a file open, you'll be asked if your sure. Make sure the file is saved before you quit. 3 USING SCREENS AND WINDOWS 3.1 The Main Display The main display contains all the icons and menus for accessing the main functions of Financial Accounts. The screen has a screen title/menu bar which contains various menus: Project Contains various program facilities Edit Contains editing facilities for the data display window Set Up The set up window can be accessed from here Mode This determines the mode of the data display window System Contains various preferences and set up options Reports Various reports can be obtained from here Below the menu bar is a row of eight icons. The left four icons open the set up window relevant to the icon chosen. The right four icons change the mode of the data display window relevant to the icon chosen. Below this row of icons are two windows. The window on the left is the reference window, and the window on the right determined what data is shown in the reference window. The data displayed here is used for the more forgetful of us to refer to while entering data. Below the reference window is an information box. The following information is shown: Current Acc The account that is currently selected Opening Bal The opening balance of the current account Account Bal The current balance of the current account Current Month The month that is currently selected in the current account M/A Entries Entries in the current month, account and the total number of entries that you can have in an account, ie 12000. Status Shows the current program status Below the information box are another set of icons and they all refer to the data display window. Add Add an entry to the mode currently selected Edit Edit the selected entry Delete Delete the selected entry Cut Cut the selected entry Copy Copy the selected entry Paste Pastes the entry currently held in memory for that mode A Select an account to open/view/edit M Select a month to open/view/edit |< Go to first entry << Back 12 entries (1 page) < Back 1 entry > Forward 1 entry >> Forward 12 entries (1 page) >| Go to last entry Below these icons is the actual data display window. This window contains the data relevant to the currently selected mode. 3.2 The File Requester When choosing files to load, save and the like, the file requester is used as an easy alternative to typing in the device, path, and file name. The Financial Accounts file requester is fairly standard and is made up of several components: The display box Contains all the devices, directories and files Path enterbox Shows the current device and path File enterbox Shows the currently selected file The path and file can be altered manually simply by clicking in the relevant box. The file enterbox is automatically activated when the file requester is opened. There are also icons for navigating around the currently selected device: Devices Shows a list of all the available devices to select from Parent Goes to the previous directory or path Get Dir Updates the current directory listing CD Sets the current path to the path shown in the path box Sort Sorts any data in the display box into alphabetical order OK Choose this when the file has been selected Cancel This will cancel the file requester Pressing return in the path box will read the directory of the path that is contained in the that box. Pressing return in the file box is the same as clicking on OK. The same effect is achieved by double clicking on the file you want. 3.3 The Editor This window is used for entering all data into Financial Accounts. When an editor window is opened, you are presented with several enterboxes and icons. All editor windows contain the following icons: Add Add another entry Auto Add When you reach the last enterbox and press return, the data in the window will automatically clear ready for you to add another entry. Cancel Cancels the current entry and closes the edit window OK Okays the current entry and closes the edit window If the edit window was opened by selecting to "Add" an entry, then "AutoAdd" will automatically be selected. However, if the edit window was opened by selecting to "Edit" an entry, "Auto Add" will be de-selected. While you are editing, the "Auto Add" can of cause be switched on and off. You can jump around the enterboxes by using the cursor keys or clicking in the one you want with the left mouse button. 3.4 The Set Up Window The set-up window is used for adding, editing and deleting Accounts, Markers, Transaction Types and VAT Codes. It is activated by choosing one of the four icons located at the top left hand side of the screen. Description of icons: Add Open the edit window for whatever you have selected to set-up Edit Same as above but the edit window displays the selected entry data Delete This deletes any selected entries All This selects all of the entries Clear This de-selects all of the entries Done ! Use this when you have finished with the set up window To select more than one entry at a time, hold down the shift key while selecting the required entries. Please note that the set up window doesn't have to be closed and re-opened to go from setting up accounts to say, setting up markers. The window data is updated automatically when a different set up icon is clicked on. 3.5 Data Display Window The data display window displays all the entries relevant to the currently selected mode. Unlike the set up window, only one entry can be selected at a time. The data display window cannot be wide or tall enough to view all of the entry data at once, so a horizontal and vertical scroll bar have been included so that all of the data can be viewed. 3.6 Reference Window The reference window is used to give a reminder of Account codes, Marker codes, Transaction Type codes and VAT codes when entering data. 3.7 Budget Calculation Window This window can be accessed while the budget entry edit window is open. This window allows you to send certain values back to the editor according to what has been entered. Start month Where the calculation starts End month Where the calculation ends Start value This is the value that all the calculations refer to Inc/Dec value This is the value that the start value is increased or decreased by each month. Click the % tickbox if it is a percentage. Divide over months This will cause the start value to be divided over the selected range of months. Add value This will add the inc/dec value every month over the selected range of months. Subtract value This will subtract the inc/dec value every month over the selected range of months. Click OK and the values will be returned to the editor. If the numbers go negative, that value will be returned as zero because negative numbers are not allowed in the budget. 3.8 Search Window The search window allows you to search through the data in the data display window for what is specified in the search window. The search is not case sensitive, and looks IN the data, instead of doing a direct comparison. eg Search for COM Data found COMPUTER COMMUNICATOR COMPACT DISC However, when searching for a debit/credit amount or balance in transactions, the actual amount must be exactly the same. Description of icons: Find Starts the search from the start Find Next Starts the search from the previous find Find Prev Searches backwards from the previous find Done !

This means that people without battery backed clocks (well done Commodore, NOT!) then the system date will have to be updated to the present day for the regular transactions to work properly. Please note that when you load a file that has regular transactions already entered, they will all automatically be `applied' so the accounts are updated to the present day.

When you have altered any of the following preference, select "Save Config" from the "System" menu to save the changes. 7.1 Autoload Financial Accounts can be made to automatically load a file when it is first loaded. To switch auto loading on, click on the AutoLoad tickbox and enter the path and file name in the enterbox, or use the file requester by clicking on the "File" icon. 7.2 Autosave Financial Accounts can be made to automatically save the currently open file every set number of minutes.

Financial Accounts however has the option of automatically updating all your entries and changing the codes accordingly. To switch this option on, click on the "Auto Update Entries..." tickbox. 7.5 Date Format In some areas of the world, the date format differs slightly. Financial Accounts gives you two options: DD/MM/YYYY, or MM/DD/YYYY. The dates that have already been entered are automatically displayed in the selected format. 8 PRINTER SET UP The printer set up window can be opened by selecting "Printer Set Up" from the "System" menu. Remember to save any changes by selecting "Save Config" from the "System" menu. 8.1 Page Set Up For the page set up, you are given four options: Page length Sets the maximum number of lines that can be printed Page width Sets the maximum number of columns that can be printed Top margin Sets the number of lines to skip at the start of the page Bottom margin Sets the number of lines to skip at the end of the page 8.2 Paper Type You can choose from three different paper types: Single sheets This sends data one page at a time Sheet feeder If you have a sheet feeder, use this Continuous If you have continuous paper, the title of the report is skipped at the top of each page, but the page number remains. 8.3 Reset Printer Sometimes the current settings on the printer need to be reset before the options entered in the financial accounts printer set up window can work properly. Its main use is to reset the settings sent by the workbench printer prefs. Use this if you have problems, it may help. 8.4 Auto Elite Some of the reports are wider than the standard maximum of 80 columns. When this is the case, most printers can be set to elite mode, or higher, which essentially reduces the text size and therefore can have more columns. Elite mode normally gives 12 cpi, ie 96 characters. This option automatically switches elite mode on, though it may not work on some printers, so you'll have to do it manually. Read the printers instruction manual on how to do this. 9 MISCELLANEOUS 9.1 Rename A Project File This is used to properly rename a project file. Select "Rename A Project File" from the project menu. When you have selected a project name, a window will appear with the project name, excluding the .FA suffix. Rename the project as required, remember not to put .FA on the end, this will be done automatically. Then hit return, and the project will be renamed. NOTE: If you rename a project that is currently opened, make sure you reload the file you just renamed, because Financial Accounts will try to write to a now non-existent file. 9.2 Rename A DOS File To rename a dos file, select "Rename A DOS File" from the project menu. The file requester will appear asking for you to select a file to rename. When you have selected a file name, a window will appear with the original file name. Simply edit the file name and hit return and the file will be renamed. NOTE: Never use this option to rename a Financial Accounts project because these are made up of more than one file. See [9.1] 9.3 Delete A DOS File To delete a dos file, select "Delete A DOS File" from the project menu. The file requester will appear asking for you to select a file to delete. When you have selected a file, you'll be asked if you are sure, and if yes, the file will be deleted. 9.4 Password Protection As from version V1.30, a password can be added to your file to stop anyone from looking at your file. To set the password, select "Define Password" from the project menu. If there is already a password in the file, you will be asked for the password before it can be altered. The password window should now pop up, simply asking for the password and a "Case Sensitive" tickbox. When this is off, it means that any case discrepencies in the password go unnoticed, ie DOG BREATH = dOg BreATH. When a file with a password is loaded, you will only be given one chance to enter the correct password, else an "Access Denied !" message is displayed. 9.5 Account Ecryption You need not worry about people viewing your account data on a text editor, because as from V1.30, all account data is automatically encrypted ! This means the account data file will look like a load of rubbish when it is viewed on a text editor. Please note that only account data and the password is encrypted. 9.6 Shortcuts Financial Accounts has several shortcuts for its menu options. Project Menu New File Amiga + N Load File Amiga + L Save File Amiga + S Edit Menu Add Amiga + A Edit Amiga + E Delete Amiga + D Cut Amiga + C Copy Amiga + G Paste Amiga + P Search Amiga + F Set Up Menu Accounts Left Alt + A Markers Left Alt + M T.
