The Financials Console gives the user access to the Chameleon accounting system. The console window separated into several distinct areas. The window has the usual window control buttons on the left edge. The console has two views.
The General Ledger View
The console opens in the General Ledger View. In this view, the account number, name, debit amount, credit amount, account balance, and parent account information. There are buttons to run a Balance Sheet or Income Statement.
In the top right of the window is a cluster of buttons that run various processes, the daily general journal, sales, journal, general journal maintenance, and sales journal maintenance. The middle portion of the screen below the white line contains an edit area for chart of accounts records. The area contains boxes for the entry of information and drop-down selection boxes that fill boxes automatically. There are data control buttons to scroll through the chart of accounts table. To the right of the data entry area is a "Financial Reports" button. It runs the financial reports menu process.
Underneath the data entry area is large, multi-function text object labeled "Composition." The box has buttons for loading data from a file into the box, saving the box contents to a file, running the SQL query in the box, and executing the box contents as though it were a batch file.
Beneath the Composition box is a data grid displaying all the current (not posted) journal entries for the particular account. To the right of the data grid is a data tree displaying documentation choices for the accounting system. The data tree has buttons that operate the data tree to clear, reset, and load the tree. There is a button to the left of the tree that switches the tree to text box similar to the composition box labeled, "Results." The only operational difference between the 2 boxes is that SQL query output from the Composition box is inserted into the Results box. Query output from the Result box is appended to the Results box.
The Chart of Accounts Edit View
In the General Ledger View under the account number is the "Select edit chart of accounts" button. clicking this button changes the console to the Chart of Accounts Edit View. In this view the screen changes slightly. Where there were buttons to run a Balance Sheet or Income Statement, there are now buttons to run a straight chart of accounts report or a chart of accounts report by type.
Was going to include buttons to clear and post journals but decided that we didn't know enough to make sure it was right so its up to you, it's your money. All you have to do is check out the XQL queries in the ".\qrys" folder, look at the affected process files and change them the way you want.
