Big Red Book Accounts v5
Changing Setup Info
You have now set up the
Big Red Book
®
for your company and are ready to enter data. Most of the
information you have just entered can be changed at any time by selecting the relevant section from the
Setup menu.
However, there are a number of important exceptions to this:
The Start Month of your accounting year, the Year itself and the First Month of transaction entry
should
not
be changed once any entry has been made into any of the books. The Start Month itself
cannot be changed once it has been set up initially.
If you wish to delete an Analysis Category, or change its heading, you should do so with great care.
Amounts entered/analysed into a column will
not
automatically be moved if the position of a column
is changed. However, new headings can be added into any unused lines/boxes at the bottom of
each list of 14 Analysis Categories. These same principles apply to the changing/deletion of User
Defined Fields.
You should also be very careful about making any changes to any of the VAT Rates set up if you
have entered transactions. New rates should only be entered into the spare (blank) rate boxes.
When Allocations are not set on changes to Analysis Categories and VAT Rates can usually be made
safely
after
you have run the Financial Year End Procedure (described later) and
before
you have entered
any transactions for the new year. This is possible because there will not be any transactions in the system
at that point. However, this will not be true if you have entered transactions in Months 13/14/15 which
become Months 1, 2 and 3 in the new year.
If you are in any doubt about the consequences of making a change, consult the Software Support Service
before proceeding.
