PERSONAL FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING SYSTEM PRINTDOC.BAT Type "PRINTDOC" at Dos prompt to print full documentation. PERSONAL FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING SYSTEM version 1.9 is a small business/personal checkbook manager designed to make bank reconciliation absolutely painless. PERSONAL FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING SYSTEM provides the necessary information to get through any bank reconciliation statement. It can handle up to 1000 transactions in one account file for the full year. You can have as many as 20 working account data files in each hard drive subdirectory or floppy disk. An outstanding feature lets you define up to TEN different customized charts to properly categorize all your transactions. This is very much like a chart of accounts in a general ledger program. Each transaction can then be included in a neatly detailed expenditure report according to the nature of the expenditure for any date specified fiscal period within the year. This is a strong plus at tax time and for budget purposes. You also have the full ability to edit, insert new or delete current transactions and sort your transactions by Date, Check#/Deposit, Issued To and even by $Amount. The current balances are posted at the top of the screen to let you know how any transaction has affected your bottom line at anytime, any place in the file. File Pg. 1 The program can search out transactions by date, check number, or by the nature of the expenditure by its "issued to" contents. If you search out by "issued to", it will list on the screen and/or printer all like transactions and sum the amounts at the bottom of screen again within any specified fiscal period within the year. This is useful if you would like an "on the spot" glance of a category expenditure without printing the expenditure report. P.F.A.S. offers just enough, clear instructions to get any beginner user off the ground quickly in computing. The program has enough structure in it to guide any newcomer in computing through the program without confusion or puzzlement but not "boging" down the experienced end user. The screens look very similiar to many DBASE programs in their style of screen prompting which are the least ambiguous of any screens used. The screens switch to monochrome or color automatically when using Hercules, MDA, mono adapters or CGA, EGA or VGA color adapters. PERSONAL FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING SYSTEM can issue date specified report to screen and/or printer: - expediture report by user defined categories for budget and tax purposes. PERSONAL FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING SYSTEM can search and list transactions to screen only or printer too: - by any whole or partial "issued to" name and add dollar amounts at bottom of screen of those items searched. Search may also be contained in a fiscal period within the calendar year in the file. - by date - by check number PERSONAL FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING SYSTEM can list transactions to screen only or printer too: - transaction to transaction number - date to date - total transactions File Pg. 2
