Note: Checks dated in a prior payroll year will be treated as if dated
within the current CSA payroll period.
If you selected the Create Payroll Journal Entry option on the
PayCheck tab of the Setup / Miscellaneous Information dialog in
Accountant’s Assistant or on the File / Client Properties / Payroll tab
in CSA, the program creates an automatic payroll journal entry
before transferring transactions from Accountant’s Assistant to CSA.
Updating client files When first setting up the client, you created an accountant’s transfer file
to initialize the client’s CBS company database with the data already
present in your CSA program. Unlike other checkwriting programs, this
program is designed so you can update your client’s data files at any time
— even after the client has already started entering transactions.
Generating a transfer file to update the client’s database is virtually
identical to the process you went through to prepare the client’s initial
accountant’s transfer file. Subsequent to the initial setup, you need to
update only the file(s) in which you have changed or added information.
Use the Tasks / Generate dialog within Accountant’s Assistant to
generate an updated transfer file for the client.
During the entire time you are processing the client’s exported data, the
client is free to enter new transactions and to print checks. If you need to
update any setup information, the client may import a new transfer file at
any time throughout the period. The updated information will apply to all
new transactions subsequently created.
