There is now a built in routine to do this. Go to File -> Copy
Data. You will be asked for the name for this duplicate business, Fill it in and
click Start. The business is now added to the end of your available
businesses.
These sections allow you to enter the first two months transactions of the next
financial year before closing the last month of the current year.
They become available as part of the normal three open months as numbers 13 and 14 at
the end of the year. You should use them as normal month 1 and 2 of the new year entering
Opening Creditors and Debtors to code 102.
When you close month 12 (this invokes the year end routine), month 13 and 14 become
month 1 and 2 of the new year.
Only transactions in the first open month will appear for reconciliation. If you are
trying to reconcile a month before closing the previous month, the list will only show the
unpresented cheques and undeposited receipts from the previous month. Deselect the entries
you have highlighted on the list, save and exit. Close the month and you should now be
able to see all your entries in the reconciliation list.
Each Budget Set can now have its own opening bank and petty cash balance. This is
entered in Budgets -> Budget Sets. When producing the Financial
Calculator these balances can be used by selecting the Use Budget Bank Balances option.
You can copy the figures in your existing budget to a new budget set and then make the
changes you want. Go to File -> Copy Budgets, select
the budget set you wish to copy and enter the code and name for the new budget set. Select
the sections of the budget set you wish to copy and click run.
You can now make any changes you require in this new budget set.
Because each budget set now is entirely independent with its own valuations, creditors
and debtors and Last Year Balances you have to be sure that the correct
figures are in the Last Year section of the budget set you are using. Go to Closing
-> Last Year, and select the budget set you are working with. You can
then enter the last year balances you require or edit the existing balances you want.
