Program Operation:

This program allows editing of the chart of accounts descriptions.

The fields are used as follows:

- Typical balance. "D" for debit; "C" for credit. These accounts will be flagged when the amount is not typical.

- Section sub-total. A sub-total will print on the Trial balance and worksheet

- Counter balance account. If an account number is entered here, you can automatically have an entry for this amount when a journal entry is made. (For example: Depreciation/Depr. expense)

- G/L Auto-distribution code. When a transaction is made to this account, you have the option of distributing this amount to the accounts set up in the Auto-distribution file.

- Y-T-D file compression. When the year-end program is run, directs the system how to take care of the previous year's transactions: "N" - no compression; "P" - Compress all transaction for each period; "Y" - Compress all transactions for the year.

- Discontinued on. If an account is no longer used, it should be discontinued until the year-end, so the current transaction have an account.
