3. <strong>Accounting</strong> Wizard<br />
<strong>Accounting</strong> Wizard Overview<br />
The <strong>Accounting</strong> Wizard is designed to help you enter your company's<br />
accounting information into the <strong>Magaya</strong> system. This is an easy way to enter the<br />
beginning balances for accounts, customers, and vendors as of the date you start<br />
using the <strong>Magaya</strong> system.<br />
Setting up this information is usually done when <strong>Magaya</strong> software is first<br />
installed. If this wizard was not used then, it can be used now or at any time. It<br />
is recommended that you use this accounting wizard and the Startup Wizard. It<br />
is especially important if you will be working in more than one currency that<br />
you select the home currency to match the currency of your country in the<br />
Startup Wizard; home currency will affect tax transactions. The Startup Wizard<br />
is explained in the <strong>Magaya</strong> Cargo System Operations <strong>Manual</strong>.<br />
The <strong>Accounting</strong> Wizard helps you set up your:<br />
• Chart of Accounts (also called the general ledger)<br />
• Items and Services<br />
• Opening balances of your customers and vendors<br />
Each screen in the wizard contains instructions to help you work through the<br />
wizard. You can go forward and back in the screens to change information.<br />
When you finish the wizard, all the information is saved in your <strong>Magaya</strong> system.<br />
Additional setup of accounting related options can be done in the Maintenance<br />
> Configuration menu. See Chapter 10 of the <strong>Magaya</strong> <strong>Software</strong> <strong>Accounting</strong><br />
<strong>Manual</strong>.<br />
