- AN INTRODUCTION TO FREEWAY SOFTWARE
-
-
-
- Welcome to FREEWAY Software - a new concept introducing you to
- a whole range of software for the business user.
-
- This software, now available to you and your colleagues,has been
- in daily use in many and varied businesses for the last six
- years. The enhancements made over this period are all included
- in your version.
-
- The enclosed disks contain FREEWAY programs for Sales Ledger,
- Purchase Ledger, Invoice Production and Payroll.
-
- FREEWAY SOFTWARE is available for you to use freely and there are
- no limitations to its use other than those imposed by disk size.
- (Unlike many other software companies we actively encourage you
- to take copies of FREEWAY programs for other users - no licence
- fee is involved.)
-
- This introductory leaflet will provide adequate information for
- you to use the system in its entirety. We feel sure that you will
- find the programs invaluable in the administration of your
- business.
-
- Should you require a full and detailed manual to enable you to
- use the programs to full advantage telephone FREEWAY for a copy
- at minimal cost.

-
- GETTING STARTED
-

-
- Enter the date in the following format (DDMMYY) e.g.

-
- Select S for Sales Ledger
- P for Purchase Ledger
-
- SYSTEM CONVENTIONS
-
- The use of the system is largely self-explanatory.
-
- The following rules generally apply to all modules:
-
-
- C (Enter) will CANCEL an entry part way through- where
- appropriate.
-
- E (Enter) will END what you are doing.
- (Usually inserted in the date or account number field.)
-
- In certain circumstances you will CANCEL what you are doing and
- then E to END.
-
-
- Having selected Sales or Purchases print out a Sales or Purchase
- Daybook Summary and note the "Nominal Analysis Headings"
-
- These should be amended to be appropriate for your own business.
-
- NOTE THAT THE FIRST HEADING OF EITHER SALES OR PURCHASES SHOULD
- BE SET UP FOR THE MOST PREDOMINANT TYPE OF SALE OR PURCHASE.
-
- In default of an alternative number being entered this number
- will be adopted. This speeds entry up considerably.

- entering a batch of invoices.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- VAT STATISTICS accumulate values from both sales and purchase
- ledgers. They should be printed and cleared at intervals to co-
- incide with your VAT periods.
-
- The Vat Code numbers are used when entering invoices to allow for
- correct allocation to the Vat Statistics file and for charging
- VAT at the correct rate during Invoice Production.
-
-

- invoices in order of entry. In addition invoices may be placed on
- HOLD if in dispute and there is a facility to note JOURNAL
