OVERVIEW
The Travel Log is used to track the number of miles or hours a ve-
hicle is used by certain people (up to 15), the number of miles it
is used for business or personal use or for other purposes you may
think of. In addition, each entry can be tracked by area or loca-
tion. Up to 64 2-character location codes (states, counties, prov-
inces, etc.) can be defined by you.
There are no costs associated with the Travel Log, so if you choose
not to use it, it will not effect the Cost Per Mile report.
ADD
Press the A key to add a record. Enter the date, time and odometer
(or hours) left, time and odometer arrived, purpose, travel code,
location code (if used) and comments. 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 location codes are the letters A-O or a blank (SPACE). Total
miles (or hours) will be calculated for you.
NOTE: You can split the entries into 2 or more lines if the trip is
in more than 1 area or if the date changes when you are trav-
eling at night. See the Example Vehicle for examples of some
different log entries.
* You can press PgDn to add a record when you are at the *
* Loc field even though PgDn does not show on the screen *
* provided the 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
Travel Log reports can be created for any time period. You can in-
clude or exclude comments 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 travel 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 travel code A = Business and travel
code G = Personal, then you can list just the business trips by se-
lecting just A.
Location totals will print after travel code totals. If you do not
want to track by location, then you should blank out all location
codes (Set Defaults) to suppress printing location totals.
The default values assume that you want to list all entries and all
Travel Codes for the selected vehicle. If you want a report that
shows only Travel Code A, then blank out (enter a Space) all other
travel codes. The FROM and TO dates default to the first and last
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 TRV.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 entries 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 miles (or
hours).
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 Travel Log. Enter any Comments on the bottom of the line.
EXPENSE
Press the E key to go to the Travel Expense Log. You can use this
area to keep detailed records of travel expenses. This is useful
for justifying business tax deductions or for ensuring that you are
reimbursed for expenses by your employer.
