Company Settings Form
To open the Company Settings Form go to the Setup menu and then to the
Company option.
The name of the company as it will appear on reports.
The next financial year end for the company. This field is in dd/mm/yyyy format.
If assets are acquired during the year, you can choose to either depreciate them
for a "whole year" in that year, or only depreciate it on a pro-rata basis based
on the length of time the asset has been owned. If you wish to depreciate on a
pro-rata basis then set this to No.
Usually you will set this to be the same as the item above it, however if the
requirements of your Tax collector are different then you are free to set a
different value here.
Most companies depreciate assets to zero. However you may have a different
default residual value. If so you can enter it here. This will be used as the
default when adding assets, however it can be changed for each asset.
Usually you will set this to be the same as the item above it, however if the
requirements of your Tax collector are different then you are free to set a
different value here.
If you sell, or scrap, an asset during a month then depreciation may, or may
not, be calculated for that month. If you set this to End of Month then the
asset will be depreciated for the full month in which it is sold. If it is set
to Beginning of Month then it will not be depreciated in the month in which it
is sold.
One of the fields which you can capture for each asset is the Reference field.
If you would like this field to have a different name then you can enter that
name here.
This rate is used by the deferred tax report. Set this number to be your current
company tax rate. If you are a non-profit organization, and exempt from tax,
then set this to 0.
