- CHECK REGISTER SYSTEM
-
-
-
- The check register system is broken down into several modules.
-
- The Main Menu offers a selection of :
-
- 1) Check Register Reports
- From here, you may select from one of seven (7) choices.
-
- Selection (1) offers a register in Date Order. This will
- display or print all items from the register between the
- dates you request. They will be printed in Date Order and
- will provide you with a running balance and a reconciliation
- of your book balance and the bank's balance.
-
- Selection (2) offers the same reporting features as does
- selection (1) above, except that the items will be listed in
- Check Number Order.
-
- Selection (3) will display or print a listing of your
- transaction in Alphabetical Order, sorted by the name of the
- Payee. If there is more than one entry for a particular
- payee, those transactions will be further sorted by Date,
- and then by Reference Number within that date. No running
- balance will be shown as it would be fairly meaningless.
-
- Selection (4) offers the same reporting feature as selection
- (3) above, but transaction will be reported in Alphabetical
- Order, sorted by the information in the Memo field. If
- there is more than one entry with matching memos, they will
- be further sorted by Date, then by Reference Number and then
- by Payee. Again, no running balances will be shown.

- Selection (5) will report an Extract for a specified Payee.
- You will be prompted for the name of the Payee you are
- interested in. Respond with all or part of the Payee's
- name. Requesting a Payee with his full name may cause some
- of the transactions you are interested in to be overlooked,
- if when you entered the transaction you abbreviated his
- name. On the other hand, if you request an extract using
- too few letters, you may produce a report that includes some
- unintended transactions (for example, if you are looking for
- all transactions relating to NEW YORK TELEPHONE and you
- request "NEW YORK" you will get a listing of payments which
- EXcludes "N.Y. TELEPHONE" and you will see listed "NEW YORK
- STATE ..." etc. Make your selection carefully and be aware
- of this as you enter new transactions to your check
- register.
-
- Selection (6) will report an EXTRACT for a specified
- Category as entered in the Memo field. All the rules
- pertaining to item (5) above apply to this selection as
- well. Make your selection with care.
-
- Selection (7) will return you to the Main Menu.
-
-
- (2) Check Register Maintenance
- This selection provides a means of adjusting items in the
- register. Generally, the only changes required will be to
- mark previously outstanding items as having cleared. Curser
- controls will be shown on the top of the screen. When the
- curser is positioned on the item to be changed, make the
- change and then press enter, or simply move the highlight to
- the next record to be changed. Be sure that after a change
- has been made, you move the highlight off of the item that
- has been changed. Failing to do so will result in the
- change to that transaction not being affected. Exit from
- the maintenance routine by pressing Escape.
-
- (3) Add New Transactions
- When this selection is made, the system will automatically
- check the number of transactions added since the last back-
- up was performed. If 10 or more records have been added,
- the system will suggest that you allow it to automatically
- proceed with backing up your transaction file. Upon
- completion of the back-up, you will be able to start adding
- new transactions to the register.
- You will simply fill out the form shown on the screen. Some
- fields will offer a suggested response (Date & Reference
- Number) which you may accept by pressing the carriage
- return. If the suggested response is not appropriate, enter
- the correct response and then press the carriage return.

- (4) Exit to Dbase III
- This is the default selection as shown at the bottom of that
- screen. A carriage return at this point will cause you to
- exit from the check register system and drop you into Dbase
- III showing you nothing but a dot. If you do this by
- mistake, you can re-enter the check register system by
- typing "DO CHKMAIN" followed by a carriage return.
- (5) Exit to System
- When you are finished with the check register system, this
- will be the choice you want to make. This will take you out
- of Dbase III completely, and return you to wherever you were
- when you started (this could be the DOS prompt or a master
- menu system.
-
- Note:
-
- When the system is loaded, the Caps Lock and the Numbers Lock are
- activated automatically. This should make data entry easier. These
- settings will remain in effect until they are changed by the user or
- Main Selection (2) - Check Register Maintenance is selected. Check
- register maintenance requires using the arrow keys to navigate up and
- down through the transactions and therefore the Numbers Lock has been
- switched to activate the cursor controls automatically. If desired,
- they can, of course, be switched back.
