Transaction Analyser - BS008
« on: December 04, 2006, 12:11:59 PM »
Ive made a number of changes to this program. Can be downloaded as normal.

1) Theres 2 new options in the Display Order pop-up
a) Expense Code (Detailed)
b) Expense Code (Summarised)

2) The display now shows both Cheque Date and Bank Date
Since the Net Worth program is calculated using the Bank Date, its important that these dates are "sensible" if not exact.
This new display allows you to scan down the list and see any glaring discrepancies.
Are you aware that you can edit transactions in BS008?
Just double click on a line, and you can make any changes you like to transactions which are in unreconciled statements.
You cant change amount in reconciled statements.
The most important thing in BS008 is to have correct dates and Expense Codes for your transactions.
You can edit these in all cases.

3) Theres a new Radio button - 1) Cheque Dates and 2) Bank Dates
Heres the Help you'll find under this control:
These buttons relate to the To and From dates
Best explained by example
You have a cheque, written on 31st Dec 2005 (This is the Cheque date)
In your Bank Statement, the cheque showed up as 2nd Jan 2006 (This is the Bank Date)
If you
a) key in a From date= 1st Jan 2006 and a To Date= 5th Jan 2006
and
b) click the "Cheque dates" radio button:
Result: The above cheque will NOT show up in the listing.

If you
a) keep the dates at the same settings
and
b) click the "Bank dates" radio button:
Result: The above cheque WILL show up in the listing.

Thus, you will get a different total when you change the radio button settings.
The Net worth program uses Bank Dates in its calculations. If you use that program, it is important to keep your Bank Dates accurate.
The layout in this display now shows both Cheque Date and Bank date to help you do that.
You can double click on transactions and make corrections in this program, making it quite easy to correct any date errors, and to make corrections to expense codes.
