Edit Company Profile Record


The Add/Edit Company Profile Records is used to enter information specific to your own company (i.e., name, address, and phone numbers). It also establishes the general ledger account numbers that will be used as default general ledger numbers for primary accounts (i.e., bank accounts, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrual accounts).
The defaults entered in the company profile are important to the processing of the eTEK™ Accounting  system, especially Current and Retained Earnings. When you first enter the Company Profile the defaults are set to the first account that was entered when the chart of accounts was set up (generally a cash account). If the defaults are not changed in the Company Profile form, everything will continue to default to the cash account. In some cases, such as with Current Earnings, there is no chance to override the general ledger number before it gets updated so you need to make sure you have the correct account selected in the company profile.
