Hints & Tips

• In the above tutorial you defined the financial formula range for motor vehicle expenses as starting from 20260-1 and ending at 20260-3. A more flexible ending range could have been entered as, say, 20260-999. CAPITAL would then automatically place any account codes that fell between 20260-1 and 20260-999 into the report sub-total without users having to do anything special to the financial formula table or the financial report.

• Always be careful that you don't leave the opportunity for "holes" in your groups. If you define new financial groups and these groups leave gaps between them, there is always the possibility that operators will inadvertently place new account codes in-between financial formulas. This will result in errors in your financial statements!

• In the above tutorial the words "net profit" now appear twice on the financial report. To remove the first appearance of this wording, re-edit the report as described in the tutorial. Move the cursor keys to highlight the first occurrence of the wording net profit that you wish to remove. Using the delete key delete the words net profit. You will then need to insert (with the spacebar) blank spaces equal to the same number of times you deleted to keep the lines correct. Save the report.
