To Display a daybook:
From the Autoline master menu select the Nominal Ledger option and the company you require.
Select the Reports & enquiries option.
Select the Daybook enquiries option.
Select the Display daybooks option.
The Display Daybooks form is displayed.
Enter a specific date and daybook number to interrogate the
Nominal Ledger daily transaction file for a given date and the
specific daybook. As this is
standard report generator, there is no search option at this point, apart from the button to select on the date. The daybook number must be entered and daybook item field can be left blank unless the user specifically wants to narrow down the search even further.
Despite this report requiring a specific date [for accessing a particular daily file], there is a facility for Report Generator and Nominal Ledger overlay programs that allows you to write Rep Gens which will access multiple daily files for a range of daybook numbers. Both for printing and display purposes. Examples of how the reports should be written would be discussed in advanced training courses, hence are not discussed in detail here.
By clicking OK the report will be run.
This option displays, for each daybook selected, all of the transactions, detailing the daybook number and item number within daybook, the sequence number, the cost centre and expense code, the suffix and Sales or Purchase Ledger account where appropriate, the source module and journal type, the document number and value (in base currency), and the VAT code.
Once the report has been displayed, the user can click Close to be returned to the selection form.
There is also the opportunity to Cancel or access online Help at this point.
