FAQ's System Accounting Module
1. How are Income and Expenses entered in the Accounting module?
There is no direct entry for Income and Expenses in the Accounting module. The Accounting Module allows you to view and print Income and Expense reports. All values in Accounting are updated automatically from values entered in Listings, Sales, Agent Referral and the Other Income and Expenses tabs in My Record. Income and Expenses are entered in the record where the Income or Expense was generated. You can navigate directly to where the Income or Expense was entered from the Accounting module using grid navigation.
2. I entered income and expenses in the Listings and Sales modules but they do not show up in the Accounting module when I print the Income report.
In the header of the Income and Expenses tabs are two fields, From Date and Thru Date. Make sure the dates in these fields covers the dates for the income or expenses entered. Use the Date tool to enter the desired from and thru dates then select the Update button to update the accounting reports. In addition, make sure you enter the correct date in the Accounting print dialog window. Once the dates are changes they will maintain the last dates entered the next time you view the accounting module. You must change the From or Thru date before the Update button becomes enabled.
