- JAY'S A/R - Accounts receivable system for dBase III PLUS
-
- This runs best off a hard disk. You will need to modify the MENU.PRG
- to set the default drive. It will support credits to an invoice or to an
- unapplied credit for the customer. It unfortunately does not support partial
- payments from the payment to invoice option. You must edit invoices if
- partial payments are received. You should NOT get the error message "Too
- many files are open",if you do,then set your config.sys to files=20 and
- buffers=25. The only place you can expect this program to be buggy is the
- option that prints statements for ALL customers. It will not print the first
- customer,it will start on the second one. It will then print all customers
- statements(unless they have a 0 balance),but will go to an EOF dBase error
- message. Just answer No and it will drop you to the dot prompt.
- This program includes 4 binary files which are called and run from within
- the program. The assembly language version is included also.

- ~~~~~~~~~~
-
- Important...If the main menu appears scrambled,there is a simple way to fix it.
- If you do not have graphics installed in your computer,the main menu will
- not display correctly. To use this program you should get dBase up to the
- dot prompt then enter the command DO B:FIXTXT this will remove the 4 ASCII
- text files,and replace them with alternates.
-
-
- Sample data in files:
-
- There are 9 sample customers and 25 invoices for them in this program. To
- delete a customer choose option 6-(Edit account),to delete an invoice
- choose option 2-(Edit invoice). With the cursor on the record you want to
- delete,press Ctrl and U keys at the same time. Then run the option that
- removes the paid invoices,and both of your databases will have all of the
- records you have marked for deletion totally removed.
-
- If you want to clear the sample databases,enter the following commands:
-
- USE CUST
- ZAP
- USE INV
- ZAP
-
- Then enter your own customer names.
- !! Be CAREFUL of the ZAP command-it empties a database.

- End of month notes:
-
- Before running bulk statements you should remove the paid invoices from the
- invoice file.If you don't,it will run slower,and paid invoices are not
- shown on the statement anyway. Use option F8 of the sub-menu to do this.
- These paid invoices are saved in a database called PAID.DBF if you should
- ever need to check on them.
-
- Before running bulk statements for all customers,be sure to update balance
- for all customers,then sort the invoice file by using option F4 of the
- sub-menu.
-
-
- Regarding the order of the customer labels print:
-
- Our account numbers are really character fields in order to allow for
- accounts such as 181A,181B,181C etc.
- Because of this when you enter an account with a small number,it will still
- be at the bottom of the file.
- You can access the file CUST.DBF, and will find a field named NUMBER.
- Rearrange your customers in the order you want them to appear by changing
- the number field,then sort the file on the NUMBER field to TEMP. Then
- copy TEMP to CUST,re-index the whole thing on the account field.
- The proper syntax for this command is as follows:
-
- USE CUST
- BROWSE FIELDS ACCT,NAME,NUMBER (when done press Ctrl W or Ctrl End to save)
- SORT ON NUMBER TO TEMP
- USE TEMP
- COPY TO CUST
- USE CUST
- INDEX ON ACCT TO ACCT
-
- Access to DBASE:
- a)From a dot prompt you can always access the "ASSIST" mode of DBASE with
- the F2 key,this gives you total access to the database files
- b)The F1 key is a complete on-line tutorial for DBASE
- c)All of the rest of the function keys are reassigned by the menu.
