To post to P&L in the MacNail construction accounting
software:
1. Choose *Post Profit and Loss from the DATA menu.
2. You will be asked which files to use as a source. Choose This File if you want to use the file
that is active (in front). Choose Main File to use just the main file (see page 168). Choose All Open Files
to use
all Ledgers and Logbooks that are currently open. Choose All Files in Folder to use all of the files in the
Current Accounts folder.
3. Unless you chose This File, another dialog box will be displayed. Put a check beside each of the items
that you would like to post in this session.
WARNING: You will receive a warning of items that will be posted from the Ledgers. If you want any information
to be posted from any of the Logs instead, click *Job Cost Options from the OPTIONS menu, and choose which
logs should be used.
4. The different Ledgers and Logbooks will each be opened in turn. All items will be scanned, and then posted
to the appropriate P&L Report.
NOTE-- Goldenseal construction
accounting software replaced MacNail in 2000. It's an integrated
program that includes general accounting, job
costing, payroll and project billing, plus estimating
and other features. Goldenseal has several P&L reports that don't
require any special steps, to use.
