Left and right headers
These are the two empty cells at the top where any desired text can be inserted which will be used as a header for print-outs (left and right).
Opening date
The opening date is the date when the accounting begins. It can also be left blank. If a date prior to the opening date is inserted when entries are made, the program will give an error message.
Closing date
This is the closing date of the accounting. It can also be left blank. If a date greater than the closing date is inserted when entries are made, the program will give an error message.
Base currency
The code of the currency in which the accounting is being handled. You can enter any currency code, even the one that are not in the list. When the code of the basic currency is being changed, the program changes the column headers for the amounts in basic currency using the new code.
In the multi-currency accounting files it is mandatory to select the basic currency, which will work as the functional currency, the one used for the calculation of the Balance sheet and Profit & Loss statement.
Changing the Basic currency symbol
If you change the basic currency symbol the program will not change the existing amounts. We advise you to change your basic currency symbol only if you don't have yet entered any opening balances and any transactions.
Accounting file WITHOUT foreign currencies
You can replace the basic currency symbol with the new symbol.
Accounting file WITH foreign currencies
To change the currency code in accounting with foreign currencies refer to the following page Change the basic currency.
