- Late Program Changes for Simply Accounting for Windows version 1.0A
-
- This file contains information that was not included in the Simply
- Accounting for Windows manual, or that has changed since the manual
- went to press. We suggest you print out this file and note all changes
- in the manual.
-
- Converting from Simply Accounting for DOS (formerly ACCPAC Bedford
- Integrated Accounting):
-
- --In Simply Accounting for DOS, the item cost could have up to three
- decimal places. Costs were not rounded. In Simply Accounting for
- Windows, the maximum is four decimal places, and costs are
- rounded up. This may cause a difference in inventory costs when
- you convert your data to Simply Accounting for Windows.
-
- --In Simply Accounting for DOS, the default aging periods were 0 to
- 29 days, 30 to 59 days, and 60 to 90 days. In Simply Accounting
- for Windows, the default aging periods are 0 to 30, 31 to 60, and
- 61 to 90 days. If you use the default aging periods, this may
- cause differences in your Vendor Aged and Customer Aged reports.
-
- --In Simply Accounting for DOS, all paid customer invoices that you
- did not delete were automatically dropped from customer
- statements after 31 days. (The information was still available in
- the Customer Detail report until you cleared each invoice.) In
- Simply Accounting for Windows, all paid customer invoices appear
- on customer statements, until you use the Clear Paid Customer
- Invoices choice on the Setup Menu to clear the paid invoices.
-
- Maximum number of lines in journal entries:
-
- The maximum number of lines you can have in a journal entry in the
- General, Purchases, Sales, Transfers, and Adjustments Journals is
- 100.
-
- Selecting an account, inventory item, or project:
-
- To display a list of accounts, items, or projects from which you can
- select, double-click or press Enter in an account number, item, or
- project field. To select an entry, scroll through the list, then
- double-click on the entry you want, or use the Up and Down Arrow
- keys to reach the entry, then press Enter.
-
- Date definitions:
-
- On payment checks to vendors, you can enter any date up to the Using
- date. This allows you to backdate checks.
-
- Accounting for payments:
-
- When you make a journal entry to account for a payment in the
- Payments Journal, the program uses the check date as the posting date.
