CashBook


CashBook
HedgehogsAlthough this version of CashBook is designed to run under DOS, we do also have a Windows version (with an upgrade and data conversion option for existing users) available. Check out the Signet Accounting web site for details about this version.

HedgehogsCashBook is a stand-alone or integrated program designed to record, report, and graphically present data on your bank account transactions.

HedgehogsMultiple Bank Accounts can be maintained (limited only by your available disk space).

HedgehogsIn order to facilitate detailed analysis of your transactions, CashBook allows you to allocate each transaction to an Analysis Code.

HedgehogsThe analysis code is 10 characters long, allowing extreme flexibility in analysing where you are earning and spending your money.

HedgehogsA full reconciliation feature is incorporated to allow accurate comparison to your bank statement.

HedgehogsDebit orders can be entered into CashBook, and are thereafter posted automatically each month.

HedgehogsTransaction Details Stored
  • Type (Cheque / Deposit / Adjustment / Sundry Payment / Sundry Receipt / Debit Order).
  • Date of transaction.
  • Reference Number. (e.g. Cheque No).
  • Description.
  • Amount.
  • Cleared from Bank (Yes/No).
  • Clearance Date.

HedgehogsReconciliation is done on screen, directly from the bank statement. This same screen also allows you to calculate the balance after ANY transaction.

HedgehogsIn addition, the transactions can be viewed on screen in any of the following sequences:
  • Clearance Date (for reconciliation)
  • Reference Number (for finding particular transactions by reference number)
  • Description (for finding all transaction pertaining to a particular concept e.g. Telkom)
  • Transaction Date (to see transactions in chronological order)

Analysis

HedgehogsEach transaction can optionally be allocated to an analysis code.

HedgehogsCashBook allows you to perform split postings (i.e. the amount of the transaction could be split to several analysis codes).

HedgehogsUp to 200 separate analysis codes can be entered per transaction.

HedgehogsThe ten character analysis code comprises:
  • 2 characters for the bank / company
  • 2 characters for the branch / division
  • 4 characters for the account
  • 2 characters for the sub-account.
