SECTION 2.2 - CREDITOR ENQUIRIES
USAGE: To enquire on the Creditor balances and static
information such as the name, balances and notes. To enquire on the
transactions pertaining to a Creditor. In both cases, information can be
displayed on the screen or printed. Information cannot be changed by this
option.
DISCUSSION: When you start the enquiry program, the computer
will initially ask for a Creditor code. Enter the code and press <Enter>.
To search for an account, press <F9>. For further details on searches, see SECTION 1.2.
Having entered a valid code, the computer will
display the current information pertaining to that Creditor. The information is
on several pages. The first page appears as follows:
You will have several options available via the
function keys:
<F1> or <CsrLeft> This
will cause HiFinance attempt to read the previous record. If there is one, it
will be displayed.
<F2> or <CsrRight> This
will cause HiFinance attempt to read the next record. If there is one, it will
be displayed.
<F3> will print the information currently on the screen.
Before printing the computer will ask, START
REPORT? To
start the report, answer Y. If you do not wish to
print, answer N. More information is
printed on this report than appears on the screen.
<F4> This overlays a window that displays the note
attached to this Creditor. If there is no note, the function key is not active.
<F5> will allow you to display transactions for this
account. The screen will highlight the current balance. See SECTION 1.2 for a
full description of this function. If there are Purchases or Returns on file
for this Creditor, there are also likely to be Inventory transactions
available. If this is the case, when you have chosen a period to display, you
will then be given the choice of displaying Creditor transactions or Inventory
transactions. This is determined by you pressing <F4>
or <F6>, respectively. If you choose
<F6>, only Inventory
transactions pertaining to the current Creditor will be displayed. This is a
quick way of finding out what a supplier has supplied in the past and is often
more efficient than using the INVENTORY
TRANSACTION REPORTS function (see SECTION 3.4.9).
<F8> will allow you to display purchase orders for this
account. The functionality of this option is similar to displaying transactions
<F5>.
<ESC> will return to Creditor code entry routine. From
there, another <ESC> will exit the program and
return you to the CREDITOR enquiry MENU.
