The Fixed Assets

When purchasing an asset in foreign currency, you need not convert manually into a home currency value before recording it into the MoneyWorks accounting software. The currency type of the Bank, Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable account can be in foreign currency. Therefore, when you record a purchase invoice with a supplier that has a foreign currency set as a transaction currency, MoneyWorks will convert to a home currency value based on the exchange rate set. For ex

Show full names in MoneyWorks report

The analysis reports such as "Customer by Item" and "Customer Sales by Month" allow the user to print with "full name". For example, if prints the Customer by Item report with full name, it shows the customer and product name next to the code. With full name, it is easier for a user to read as there might be hundreds of items or names in a report. It will be extremely helpful to the management as the management may not understand the name code used in the accounting software.

Cancel Transaction or Write Off

Both "Cancel Transaction" and "Write Off" of an invoice generates a Credit Note to knock off an amount owing. So, what's the different between the two? When a mistake made in a sales invoice or a return of goods and services you can use a cancel transaction (under the Command menu > Adjustments). MoneyWorks creates a reverse transaction to adjust the income, tax, receivable, and the quantity sold. When an invoice has turned into bad debts, write off is used. A write-off entry

By default, MoneyWorks does not show the tax column in transactions windows such as Sales Invoice and Purchase Invoice. When recording a transaction, you just need to select the tax code and let MoneyWorks do the tax calculation automatically. However, due to rounding differences, the GST amount on the bill you received may be different from your entry. To adjust the GST amount, you need to turn on the "Show Tax Column" from the Document Preferences, then amend the tax amount
