- Accountant Module Version 1.4:
-
- Integrated into the Calendar function of the GEN7 DeskTop
- environment is the Accounting module. This module is designed
- to handle up to 4 separate accounts and handles the following
- transaction types:
-
- 1) Automatic Credit (posts auto deposit checks).
- 2) Automatic Debt (posts auto debts).
- 3) Manual Credit for other types of payments and
- deposits.
- 4) Manual Debt for personal or business checks.
-
- The manual debts and credits allow a check number. All
- transactions have a memo, recepient and amount fields.
- A grace period before and after the transaction may be
- specified for the calendar function to begin and stop
- alerting the user of the transaction's specified post
- date. A music or bell type alarm may be designated to
- accompany the transaction when it is displayed on entry
- to GEN7. After registration, an option is provided so
- the Accountant may be started from an AUTOEXEC file to check
- the accounts in the GEN7.CAL file generated by GEN7, and
- remind the user every time the computer starts. A selection
- off of the main menu allows account balances to
- be updated (Desktop F6, then Calendar/Music, then Reconcile
- Acount). When a debt or credit is shown, the color of the
- words: Manual or Auto and Credit or Debt indicates the
- active status of the transaction. A red color indicates
- the transaction has not been posted yet. A green color
- indicates that the transaction has been posted. A cyan
- color means that the transaction has been posted, and
- this record is a repeating template for the transaction
- (repeating transactions are stored once, the posted
- transactions are copied at post time). One memo file
- is generated for each month scanned through in GEN7.
- The file names are made of the month and year
- (GEN7MMYY.CAL). One repeating transaction file is
- made (GEN7REPT.CAL) that contains all repeating records
- and the account balances. Take caution in specifying
- grace periods. Grace periods that overlap from one
- repeating date to another may show transactions as
- posted, that have not been. Up to 30 transactions are
- allowed per month unless the /cxx option is specified
- at runtime. The xx is the maximum number of memos to
- allow. The modify feature can change a non repeating
- transaction into a repeating transaction, if the
- switch Monthly or BiWeekly or Weekly are set before
- modification. All fields must be modified in this mode,
- the speaker beeps until it is so. Note that to minimize
- the amount of internal bookkeeping, a transaction that was
- not posted within the grace period will show as inactive
- (Black color) out of the grace period (not Pending or Red
- color). Posted transactions will show always green on the
- day they were due, but if they are repeating transactions,
- the repeating template will show also. To tell whether an
- old repeatingtransaction has been posted, check to see if
- two transactions show up on the needed post date (one the
- repeating template, and one the green posted transaction).
- The repeating templates show up as Repeating posted (Cyan
- color), in all months, even though it may not have been
- posted in that month. This reflects the status of the
- transaction closest to the current date. An old
- non-repeating transaction will either be inactive (Black
- color) or Posted (Green color). Please be aware that
- any transaction out of the grace period ('x' number of
- days before and after the due date), will not alarm
- at startup, and the status will be inactive (Black
- color). In other words, a bill you did not post will
- not nag you constantly until posted.
-
- These modules may be integrated into one after registration (one
- copy of GEN7 can be used to use either the tutors or the accounting).
