- [ARCHIVE]
-
- The ARCHIVE feature allows for the closing of the
- SALE database on a periodical basis. With most
- companies, this period will be yearly. Caution
- must be observed when using this feature since
- it can not be reversed.
-
- The CLOSE YEAR function can be found under the
- ARCHIVE selection located on the VIEW menu at
- the top of the screen. The user will be prompted
- to enter a file name to store the sale database
- file. No extension should be put on the filename
- and it is recommended that the filename be a
- simple year entry. i.e. 2001 or 2002
-
- Storing the closed database file in the default
- Swift POS program folder ensures that the files
- will be backed up when the backup program is run.
- When the new sale database is opened, invoice
- numbers will be reset and the first invoice will
- be number one for the new period.
-
- Once the sale year is closed, it can be accessed
- for the purposes of aquiring information or applying
- payments to accounts receivable. No new
- transactions will be allowed. The archived sale
- database files can be opened by using the PRIOR
- YEAR function found under the ARCHIVE menu
- located on the VIEW menu at the top of the screen.
-
- When the program is launched, the current year will
- always be the sale database initially opened. When
- accessing prior year files, the user can change back
- to the current sale database file by using the
- CURRENT YEAR function under the ARCHIVE menu
- found on the VIEW item at the top of the screen.
