Notes 
ƒ  For CBS CheckWriter clients, Accountant’s Assistant transfers 
vendor data to CBS based on options specified on the 
CheckWriter tab of the Setup / Miscellaneous Information 
dialog.  
ƒ  Accountant’s Assistant automatically generates custom lists for 
ZIP codes, cities, and state and local entities. 
ƒ  After the initial setup, you may occasionally need to transfer 
selective information to update the client’s files. Accountant’s 
Assistant will always generate the following items: 
ƒ  State and local custom lists 
ƒ  Employee templates 
ƒ  Payroll items 
ƒ  Chart of Accounts (if generating financial statement data) 
ƒ  CheckWriter Miscellaneous information (if generating 
financial statement data)

Other than those items, only the items you select to include will 
be affected; all of the client’s other CBS data remain unchanged. 
ƒ  If you generate the transfer file to a floppy disk, you should label 
the disk “accountant’s transfer file” and include the date and the 
client’s ID. Note that the process of creating a transfer file to 
update the client’s CBS configuration is identical to the process 
of creating the accountant’s transfer file for the initial setup.
