Profit & Loss Posting-- Wrong Year

Problem

P&L won't post for MacNail construction accounting software
#1-- because of year

Diagnosis

check the computer's current date-- if 'post to previous years' is not checked in the job cost options, MacNail construction accounting software will skip current year entries if the clock has somehow been set to a different year. It also won't post to different years (this is more often a problem in December and January).

Solution

In the Mac, you can see (and set) the date & time in the General Control Panel. On IBM, go to the 'Main' window (where the file manager is), choose Control Panel, then choose date/time.

If you're already in excel, you can see the current date by having them type =NOW(). Change the date format of the cell so it is m/d/yy, and the year will be visible.
