Slide 4

Slide notes: When we set up a new Company in a Business Datamart, we will always set up this record properly, and we will do so well before we ever allow any Transaction posting, because this Control Record must indicate certain Ledger Accounts that the system must rely on in certain circumstances. If we do not have any Chart of Accounts in place yet, then of course we cannot set up this Record, because we need the Ledger Accounts that we will list here, to already exist.

Slide 5

Slide notes: However, if necessary, we can just open these specific Accounts that we need and then generate the rest of the Chart of Accounts later.

Slide 6

Slide notes: Whichever sequence we will use, we need to indicate here a primary Discount Allowed and Discount Received Account. These Accounts are not used for Retail Sales, but rather for Journals. It is recommended to check the Help on each of the prompts for a clear indication of what is required.

Slide 7

Slide notes: The P&L Account is a 1st phase P&L Account that is used by the system for posting closing Journals from P&L Ledger Accounts at Year End. From this Account, one may then transfer the balance to a Retained Profit or other Account, as the case may be.

Slide 8

Slide notes: The Inventory Suspense and Transfer Accounts are rather similar in the way that the system will use them as double entry Accounts for distinct circumstances, and the Help will reveal more.

Slide notes: The Number of Annual Depreciation Periods is usually 12, whether or not we use a 13th Period for Accounting purposes.

Slide 23

Slide notes: The Average Cost Type is usually set to '2' to indicate the use of Goods Received and Goods Invoiced in the calculation of Average Cost on Stock Items.
