Running Accounts Controller
===========================

After you have unzipped acv1 type acc.bat 
The first time used the program will request a company
name/address this can be changed at any time but it
insists there is a company name.

From the main menu you can use all accounts options.

We have entered a default set of nominal accounts 
change these if required but be careful not change the 
control accounts (VAT etc)

This shareware version has a stopper built in after 1000
nominal postings. Remember its a double entry system so 
they run out quickly please E-mail paul@pjccc.freeserv.co.uk 
if you think the 1000 postings should be increased.

As in all accounts there are procedures that have to be 
followed, this package is no different. 

Suggestions to get you going
============================

Enter customers (sales ledger)
Enter suppliers (purchase ledger)
Enter stock (stock control)
Add or change any nominal numbers (nominal ledger)

(EXAMPLE OF DIRECT INVOICE)

Step 2. Go into maintain customer and enter a customer to 
      	the system

Step 3. Press ESC from maintain customer then from sales 
	ledger go to invoicing option

Step 4. Go into Invoice printout then type in the customer	
	code and press return

Step 5  Using the return key fill in input boxes 

Step 6. When you get down to a stock code press return stock 
	description press return

Step 7. In freehand field type in your service description 	
	you have up to 90 lines, 25 lines per invoice paper

Step 8. Type in the net amount for the invoice line

Step 9. Use the default nominal code or type in another code

Step 10.If you do not know the net amount then press return 
	until you can enter the gross amount, then type in 
	the amouunt including VAT and it will back track the net

Step 11.When you have done press ESC and select process this 
	will print the invoice and ask if OK then post to all
	the ledgers

(the outputs to printer is designed for dot matrix. We supply 
NCR paper for invoices etc for office copy and customer copy)
