Add tables

With Banana Accounting Plus, you can create simple tables to enter additional information directly into the accounting file, without using external documents and without complicating the main structure.

These are empty and fully customizable tables, ideal for organizing and collecting data according to your needs. They do not have built-in accounting functions but serve as a practical tool for organizing and collecting data related to business management.

You can add one or more simple tables to your file and, if necessary, link them either to one of the predefined tables in Banana Accounting Plus or to each other.

Possible uses of a simple table

Simple tables can be used to create lists and manage data that supports accounting, such as:

• Employment records
• Information, notes, appointments with customers and suppliers
• Services provided to clients
• Insurance policy deadlines
• Property key management
• Internal management notes and comments
• References to contracts, projects, or ongoing cases
• Task lists related to accounting

Advantages

• Flexibility: you can freely decide the content and structure
• Everything in a single file: your information remains always linked to the accounting
• Simplicity: just add rows and columns, with no accounting knowledge required
• Immediacy: once confirmed with OK, the table is immediately available in the file

How to add a simple table to the file

• Open your accounting file
• From the menu Tools > Add/Remove Functionalities > Add Simple Table

The program adds a new table to the existing file with the name you chose, including the following predefined columns:

• RowId → used to uniquely identify each item.
• Description → description of the item.
• Notes → additional notes or information.

For more information on tables you can add to your file, see the page:

• Simple Table
  This page explains how to customize the table, show other predefined columns or add your own.

Examples of simple tables

To give you an idea of the possibilities, here are some examples:

• Internal Notes Table
  In accounting, it’s often necessary to add notes about deadlines or messages for colleagues and managers. These notes are sometimes stored in Excel or Word files, risking they get lost or forgotten. By creating a simple table in the same accounting file, notes remain always available and easy to consult.
   
• Volunteers/Events Table
  Useful for recording names, availability, and roles for events or association activities.
   
• Sales Agents Table
  Allows you to collect information about agents, monitor areas of responsibility, and track client relationships.

In this way, simple tables become a real support tool for accounting, adaptable to the specific needs of your business.
