General Ledger Detail |
| DHA General Ledger maintains the General Ledger and the
Income Statement files. Subsidiary journals are closed into the ledger to make most of the
ledger posting automatic. Journal entries are used for transactions that are not processed
in other modules of the DHA General Accounting Series. Journal entries are automatically
self balancing. |
| Accounting training not required. Full double entry
accounting system with no debits or credits. |
| Plenty of on-line context sensitive help screens. |
| Integrates with other programs in the DHA Business
Solution Software Series, Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, Cash
Management.. |
| Multi-user support for all standard networks. |
| Data files easily exported to ASCII. |
| Customer list is an easy to use DHA MAIL file
so you can
print labels and letters any time. |
| Produces income statements and balance sheets
using input
from the Cash Management, Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable systems.
|
| Any number of banks or other accounts can be combined or
split to produce almost any kind of consolidation or departmental breakdown. |
| Automatic posting of recurring journal entries. |
| Most transactions are entered automatically from other
modules of the General Accounting Series, so accuracy is assured. |
| Journal entries offset automatically as they are entered.
Being out of balance is nearly impossible. |
| Simple automatic closing
even for multiple banks. |
| Extensive transaction guide covers most unusual
transactions that are likely to give trouble. |
| Up to 13 periods may be maintained in the income
statement. |
| Statements may be prepared monthly, quarterly, yearly or
as required. |
Everything is automatic |
| Transactions from the bank, payables, and receivables
are condensed to sub-totals and maintained in the ledger as a single entry for all the
transactions for each period. You can let these entries accumulate for the entire year or
you can run a balance forward to eliminate the detail, making a single entry for the
balance at the time the balance forward was run. |
| Using the suggested chart of accounts, codes are
assigned to each expense account and ledger account. Two letters are used to identify the
account. A third letter may be used to departmentalize expenses or to subdivide ledger
accounts. This unique feature of the DHA Ledger allows ledger codes you can remember, like
ADM for Advertising Direct - Mail. Numerical codes are also available, with 4 digits and a
2 digit sub-account (9999.99). |
Format your own statements |
| Income statements and balance sheets may be customized
to your own personal needs simply by modifying the control file template. |
| The system avoids the use of debits/credits because they
are confusing for non-accountants. All account balances are kept as positive balances. To
increase the account balance, a plus(+) sign is used. To decrease the balance, a minus(-)
sign is used. You can, however, cause liabilities to be printed as normally negative
amounts if desired. |
| Most of the system entries are posted automatically from
cash, receivables, and payables. Both the main entry and the offsets are taken care of
automatically. |
| Changes in format to the balance sheet and income
statement are easily made permitting several statement formats for different purposes. For
example, one report might have all the detail, another only subtotals. |
