VT Transactions+
Permalink Closed


Good afternoon all.

I am thinking of changing my software to VT transaction+ and and very impressed so far.

Its taking me a while to get to grips with it , and have found some very useful videos on You Tube.

I have not yet been able to transfer the data to final accounts yet....... but I am sure its just me have an "off day."

However, I have listed a payment to a Supplier Account of £45.00

This was cleared by the bank.

The supplier then had to refund this as the item was out of stock.

Would it be correct to record the credit as -£45 in the same account?

I am thinking this will assist with the bank reconciliation, and not inflate the turnover.

Many thanks

 

Jay

Hi Jay

An easy way to reverse a transaction in VT is to right click on the transaction (I am assuming it is PAY or CHQ type). 

From the drop down box there is the option to reverse the transaction. This will bring up a dialog box, and allow you to add a note if you want.

This will then appear back the bank account to reconcile.

You can do the same thing manually, as you suggest but I find it quicker (less typing :) ) this way

Hi Jay,

just clarify that I've got this right.

Order item which supplier does not have.

Money leaves bank but is fully refunded by supplier.

Ok, bank can be matched off against each other easily enough eradicating that.

Unfullfilled Purchase order exists so should you not raise a credit note against it (type PCR rather than PIN) which will effectively wipe it out.

All that you do to raise the credit note is click on the purchase invoice to be annulled, bottom left of the screen there's the raise credit note link, click on that, ensure that the dates correct and press enter. Sorted. Not even any amounts to input and the comments are taken care of for you.

Back to the other issue.

Whats causing you grief with the final accounts?

How far have you got with it?

Talk me through what your doing and I'll tell you where your going wrong.

... As a quickie, just to get the obvious one out of the way, you do realise that you can't be editing the file in VT Transaction+ when you attempt to do the import into Excel don't you?

Talk in a bit,

Shaun.

Hi Bill,

we crossed in the post.

After reading your reply I've realised that I'm not answering the question asked but thinking about a somewhat different scenario and in the case described using reversals one would need to reverse both the Payment and the Purchase Invoice.

Doh, I'm really having an off day today!

Well thanks to both Bill and Shamus,

Many thanks for the responses.

I am very impressed with VT so far and all difficulties seem to have been of my own making.

I have imported a CSV file from transaction+ into Accounts Production but no figure work flowed though. As this was past midnight last night I am fairly sure the problem is with me.

I then used the manual method and all was well and accounts were produced as I would expect.

I will try the import method again and post the results tomorrow for assistance ( or applause ?) if necessary.

Many thanks


Jay

CSV file????

try this way :

Go to Add Ins

Click VT Final Accounts dropdown

File

New Accounts Workbook

Pick the type of business and click the stored in VT Transaction+ button

Click Ok

If it doesn't come up immediately click the properties toolbar icon (white box with a P just outside the upper left corner... Its the second icon along).

Enter the basic details (company name, number, tax district, start of period (other three fields completed automatically on tab))

Click OK

Click the button marked with VT in the bottom right corner with a red arrow pointig to a document icon (its the 8th icon along).

That should have the get balances from an existing workbook option selected.

Click continue

You will be asked to save the document before continuing

Once saved a pop up will ask you what workbook that you want to associate the accounts with, click the appropriate .VTR file and press OK

Make sure that update comparatives is ticked

Click OK

You have your full set of properly formatted accounts directly from VT Transaction+ without any manual intervention.

HTH,

Shaun.

p.s. edited just for spelling so bad that even I could spot it!

What can I say other then a big thank you.

I must admit to being very old school in that i still do manual accounts and then use software to check / file etc.
My excuse is that there were no software or desktop PCs when i trained.....
I was one of the first when training to buy a calculator with a roll of thermal paper

I have just finished my first accounts using VT transactions.

My original few problems were my own doing ( as usual ) in getting confused with my previous software procedures.

It is a very impressive package, that has now replaced my previous software.
Just wish I had tried it earlier.


Jay
