We have removed the END YEAR function from the program. It was discovered that this function could cause a number of problems in accounting and other sections of the program where trip information actually spans the year ending dates. All reports in the program that are date sensitive can be run between any 2 specified dates. It is therefore not necessary to end the year and start a new year each year.
Your overall CPM and RPM will be a total of ALL DATA that is in the program. This will eliminate the mis-leading reading obtained in the beginning of a new year when you have left over revenue from the old year coming in and the miles associated with that revenue removed. If you want to see the RPM/CPM for a particular time period use the COST/MILE report.(REPORTS/ACCOUNTING/COST/MILE)
STARTING A NEW YEAR - while it is not necessary to start over each year, some users prefer to do this. In order to provide this ability we have provided a function that can be used to archive the current years data (make a copy of your current database). You can then use the Backup Special Functions, UTILITIES/BACKUP/SPECIAL FUNCTIONS, to clear your database (remove trip, mileage and accounting data) or the database functions FILE/DATASET/REPLACE DATASET) to clear all data and start over from scratch. Neither of these functions will bring BALANCES FORWARD so you will need to enter starting balances over if you use this function. To access this function click UTILTIES/BACKUP and then click SPECIAL FUNCTIONS/ARCHIVE DATE on the BACKUP screen.
FILE/DATA SETS/END YEAR will give you the same messages as given above.
