SECTION 6.5.3.2 - MODIFY AN
EXISTING JOURNAL
USAGE: Modify the details of an
existing Auto-journal. This option is only used for changing the static
information such as the name. It has no effect on any transactions you that may
have already been posted. If, for instance, you had setup the journal with an
incorrect value, you will have to correct the journals already posted,
manually. New journals will be created correctly.
DISCUSSION: When you start the MODIFY
program, the computer will initially display a search screen, as follows:
To return to the GENERAL LEDGER AUTO-JOURNALS MENU, press <ESC>.
Choose a journal. For further details on searches,
see SECTION 1.2.
Having chosen a record, the computer will display the
current information pertaining to that auto-journal. You can modify any of the
fields that are surrounded by brackets. Also, you have the following options
available via the function keys:
<F1> This will cause HiFinance attempt to read the next
auto-journal record. If there is one, it will be displayed. HiFinance will move
to the next record without saving any changes you might have made.
<F4> This allows you to enter non-structured information
pertaining to this auto-journal.
<F8> This forces a search through the General Ledger
master-file. The account you choose will automatically be inserted into the
either the Debit or Credit account. You will be given the choice after
you have picked the account.
<F9> This will return you to the search screen, where
you can choose another auto-journal record. The current record will not have
been updated.
<F10> will complete your entry, after checking for any
inconsistencies and confirming your request. Your changes will be saved to
disk, over-writing any previously stored information.
<ESC> will return you to the GENERAL LEDGER AUTO-JOURNALS MENU without updating the Auto-journal
master-file. If you simply wish to chose another record, use <F9> instead.
