A clean start decides how trustworthy every report will be later. This module takes you from a blank organisation to a company file that is ready for transactions.

• Adding, editing and deactivating accounts so the chart suits your business
• Entering opening balances correctly and understanding how they affect the opening balance equity position

Contacts and items are the master data behind every invoice and bill, so we set them up carefully before posting any transaction.

• Entering customer and vendor opening balances and checking that they agree with the control accounts

Many small-business books go wrong in the non-sales entries. This module shows how to record them properly and keep expense accounts meaningful.

• Repair and maintenance entries versus capital expenditure
• Recording day-to-day expenses and choosing the right expense account
• Using manual journals for adjustments and reading the effect on the trial balance

The sales cycle is where most users spend their day. You practise every step, from first order to final collection, including the awkward cases.

• Cash sales and credit sales with correct receivable and income postings
• Receiving customer advances and keeping them separate from income

• Adjusting an advance against an invoice so the customer balance is right
• Recording payments received, partial payments and customer statements

• Raising purchase orders and converting them into bills
• Recording payments made and partial settlements
• Purchase returns through vendor credits

• Editing invoice templates with your logo, layout and terms
• Working with multiple companies and branches
• Setting reorder levels so stock does not run out
• Using item groups and price lists for different customer types

The final module covers the topics that separate a basic user from someone who can manage a complete set of books.
