Big Red Book Accounts v5
Company Name, Address, Phone
etc.
Type in the name of the company whose accounts will be maintained in this slot. If you will be using the
Big
Red Book
®
to print invoices and statements to be sent to your Customers, then your Company’s Name and
Address as entered here can appear on them.
Financial Year
It is
very important
that the correct Financial Year be setup before you enter any transactions or balance
data. You must enter a Financial Year to proceed. You must select a Start Month at this point, if you are
unsure consult your accountant. If you have entered the incorrect start of the Financial Year it can be
changed in Setup/Company Details/Financial Year
before
transactions or balances are entered
.
Start Month
and
Start Year
are the start of your Financial Year. For example if your Financial Year runs
from March to February and you are starting to use Big Red Book in August for 2010 you will select March
as your start month and enter 2010 as your start year.
If your Financial Year ran from November and you are starting to use Big Red Book in August 2010 you
would select November and 2009 as your Start Month and Start Year.
Start Month
is deliberately blank - a month must be selected before you can create the new company.
First Month (First month of transaction entry)
displays the current calendar month. If necessary, change
it to the first month in which entries will be made. If you start to use the system in the middle of your
Financial Year but do not wish to enter transactions for all months since the beginning of that year i.e.
opening balances are for the current period rather than the start of the Financial Year, your First Month will
be different from your Start Month.
Note:
Later on in the process of setting up a company you will be asked to enter Opening Balances for
Bank Accounts, Suppliers, Customers etc. When entering these balances they relate to the
First Month of
entry
rather than to the Start Month of your Financial Year, if the two are different.
Credit Note/Journal Ageing
When not using Allocations there are two options to age Credit Notes and Journals for the Aged Debtors
and Creditors Reports.
