March 28, 1990 Dear Shareware User, RE: POWER-FLEX Here's a little present that should save you some time. It's a Professional Billing System for accounting firms. The program comes in 2 disks, which you can install into a hard disk by typing [A:INSTALL] If you ended up with 2 files (rather than the disks) then all you have to do is put them in any sub-directory, type [PKUNZIP *.ZIP] to un-pack the files. Please try it out. After you learn about it, you can re-install (anytime) to get a fresh, empty set of files. The files contain a dummy customer [ZZTEST] which you can play with. Feel free to create more customers on your own. Note: This program is designed to accomodate an entire professional practice, with many "time-keepers." After you first go in, add some [staff], including yourself. Only "staff" can enter time-sheets. What will it do for you? ------------------------ It will do billing, receivables, journals, credit control, statements, etc. For one thing, the "Time Sheet" screen will give you a very visual diary of how you (and your staff) spent their time on any given day. The Time Sheets can be edited, reviewed, changed, except for "invoiced entries." This program will produce invoices. If the layout is not to your professional liking, simply re-type it on your letterhead. Alternatively, it can be custom-modified. To configure: ------------- After going in, go under (M)aintenance, (O)ther to edit the company configuration. A ficticious name has been entered, as an start. Multi-user, network version: ---------------------------- There is a multi-user version, which is sorely needed by larger accounting firms. The words "Multi-user" will appear on the opening screen on this version. The multi-user version has added security and password provisions. On-line Tutorial included: -------------------------- The Main Menu has a selection called (H)elpful info. This is a video-like training program. Please run this program to learn about how the package works. Time-Sheet Billing Explanations: -------------------------------- The "ITMCDE" field is an optional field where you could enter an inventory item (MISC has been created for you) or simply leave blank. There are 4 description lines allowed. This program add "taxes" during invoicing, automatically. This is necessary for some states, as well as Canada, which will have a GST in 1991. Please let us know how you like this program. Enjoy it and save yourself some time!
