SETUP
This module is used to set up and modify the structure of the accounts and
categories in PHASAR's register file. It is also used to perform various
maintenance functions.
SETUP ACCOUNTS: This function allows you to define new accounts,
delete old accounts, edit and renumber accounts, and change the total number of
accounts. To specify a new account you will need to give it a name (10 or fewer
characters), the latest confirmed balance, and the date of that balance. You
will then need to enter all unconfirmed transactions so that the program can
compute the current balance. To re-arrange accounts type the desired number of
an account over its current number. This will cause the two accounts to switch
positions. Blank slots can be opened or deleted by using the <Insert> and
<Delete> keys, allowing you to group accounts into meaningful groups.
SETUP INCOME/EXPENSE CATEGORIES: These functions work just like
the SETUP ACCOUNTS function.
SET UP CHECK PRINTING: PHASAR has the ability to print checks in a format
which you specify. The format may be different for each of the accounts. You
establish the location of each of the items (e.g. payee, numeric amount,
lexical amount, date) by specifying a line and column for the beginning of the
item's print field. Requesting a "test pattern" will print out a grid which
will help you determine where each item needs to be printed. Any item with a
row and column location of 0 (zero) will not be printed. If the row and column
location for the payee are both 0 (zero), no checks are printed for that
account.
NEW YEAR CARRY OVER: This function sets up a new data disk at the
beginning of a new year. All of the unconfirmed transactions from the previous
year are carried over to make the first reconciliation of the new year as
smooth as possible. MAKE A COPY OF THE OLD YEAR DATA DISK AND USE THAT COPY.
DO NOT USE THE ORIGINAL. Otherwise you will lose all of the records for the
old year.
CREATE NEW REGISTER FILE: This function establishes a skeleton structure
for the PHASAR register file. You will then define accounts and categories as
appropriate to your needs. USING THIS FUNCTION WILL DESTROY ANY TRANSACTIONS
ON THE DISK.
