OVERVIEW
The Maintentance/Accessories/Miscellaneous Log is used to track ex-
penses that are not specifically tracked by other logs. Payments
are included in the Cost Per Mile report and can be entered out of
sequence.
ADD
Press the A key to add a record. Enter the date, odometer or hours,
description, amount, paid code, maintenance code, loan code, and
vendor and comments (if used). The screen will shift to show the
other fields. Records are indexed (sorted) by the date field. You
can enter records in any order.
Valid paid and maintenance codes are the letters A-O or a blank
(SPACE). If you are using the Tax field, the Total amount will be
calculated for you.
There is another field, in addition to the Comments field, that
can be used for tracking the vendor, part numbers or anything else
that you may want to track. In the Example Vehicle, we have opted
to use it for part numbers. Vendor names are put in the description
field with a maintenance code of O. That way a list of all vendors
can be created by selecting just the O maintenance code.
NOTE: You can choose to log tax payments separately or to include
them in the amount field by selecting either Y or N in the
TAX heading in the Set Defaults program. The description
field will be 35 characters long if you do not use the TAX
field and it will be 25 characters long if you do use it.
* You can press PgDn to add a record when you are at the *
* Loan field even though PgDn does not show on the screen *
* provided that you do not see the cursor. *
CHANGE
Use this option to make corrections or to add items that were not
included when the record was added. Position to the field you want
to change, press Enter and make the change.
DELETE
Use this to remove a record. Deleted records will not be included
in reports. You can not recall (undelete) a record that has been
deleted. Deleted records are 'hidden' but remain in the file until
it is reindexed. You should not need to delete records unless you
added them to the wrong vehicle.
REPORTS
Maint/Access/Misc Log reports can be created for any time period.
You can include or exclude comments (and Vendor) and also double-
space between records having different dates.
Any blank or unmatched codes will total in the UNMATCHED category.
(If you are only using codes A and B and accidentally enter a
record with a paid code of C through O, then that record will be
totaled into the UNMATCHED category).
If you are not selecting all codes, then only blank codes will be
totaled into the UNMATCHED categories. Selecting only certain codes
is useful mainly in getting a listing of records with just those
certain codes. For example, if paid code A = Cash and maint code G
= Parts, then you can list just the parts that were paid for by
cash by selecting just A and G.
The default values assume that you want to list all payments, all
Paid Codes and all Maintenance Codes for the selected vehicle. If
you want a report that shows only Paid Code A, then blank out
(enter a Space) all other paid codes. The FROM and TO dates default
to the first and last payment dates.
NOTE: Ctrl-End takes you to the last entry, Ctrl-Home takes you to
the first.
Printing to a file will place this report into a file named MNT.TXT
which will be created in the Program Directory (VRS90). This option
will allow you to import this report into a word processing or a
spreadsheet program if those programs support ASCII files.
EXAMPLE: You want to create a report showing all payments for 1989.
To do this, change FROM to 01/01/1989 & TO to 12/31/1989.
Press the PgDn key.
TOTAL
Pressing the T key gives you an accumulative total for payments.
FORM
Press the F key to print a 1 page log form. You can keep this form
in your vehicle and then, periodically, transfer the information to
the Maint/Access/Misc Log. Enter the Vendor and Comments on the
bottom of the line.
