Getting Started is used to enter your beginning balances in the Accounting System.
   To get to this module, click on 8.System Parameters, then  Enter GETTING STARTED
   Data(located on the main menu). To use this, follow these steps:

 

A. Enter a System Startup Date.

 

  This is the most important step in the Startup process.  As explained in the program, this
    date should be the month beginning date that you start using the system.

 

example: If 05/01/1997 is the startup date, all startup entries must be dated

                 4/30/1997 or before.

              note: As for entering the rest of your information, the order of doing so does not matter and

                         you may exit , then return at a later time.

 

B. Enter Payroll History
 

 1. When inputting Payroll History for the first time, a Define OTHER columns box will pup-up.

        It is here that you enter deductions taken out each week.  Things that affect the W-2, such as

       401k plans.

 

  2. Now enter an Employee Code and his/her Tax State.  If Employees need to be created, go to

        the Windows menu(located at the top of the screen) and click on Employees to add Employees.

        After an Employee code and Tax State is added, fill in all the fields that appear in the Grid below

        the Employee code and Tax State.  Information to add is all totaled in Employee Totals at the

        the bottom of the screen.

 

  3.  After all information is entered, ensure that the Employee Totals are correct as of your startup date.

        After verification of the totals, Click on Update Employee and follow the same procedures for the

        next employee.
