Utilities Menu

1) Administration This option is used to change the default year and change any of the names associated with maintaining the budget. Same as Admin button. 2) Change FPLO NOTE: All files EXCEPT the ACCOUNTS file will allow you to change any of the fields that are displayed. The ACCOUNTS file is special...if you wish to change any part of the ACCOUNT number, you MUST use the UTILITIES-CHANGE FPLO option that is available from the top MENU BAR at the Splash Screen. The reason for this is that each ACCOUNT may have 1 or more TRANSACTIONS already posted. Therefore, if you change any part of the ACCOUNT number, the program must also change all of the TRANSACTIONS that had the previous ACCOUNT number. So the only place to change any part of an ACCOUNT number is from the MENU BAR - UTILITIES - CHANGE FPLO option (see APPENDIX D for a screen example of the CHANGE FPLO Input Layout). Choosing this option will display a box to fill in. Enter the relevant information and all necessary steps will be performed by the program to change an Account from 1 number to another. 3) Copy New Year This option is used create a new set of Accounts to be used in a new year. For example, one may currently be working in Budget Year 93-94...as this year draws to a close, it will become necessary to create a budget for Year 94-95. This can be done very simply by choosing Copy New Year option. You will be prompted for the year to copy and the new year to create. 2 other options also exist. 1) ZERO ORIGINAL APPROPRIATIONS: You may keep the appropropriation $ from the previous year or you may change them all to 0.00 in the new year. This will NOT affect any other years appropriations. 2) BLANK COMMENTS: You may blank out all the comments that are associated with each account. This will not affect any comments from any previous year.
