Getting Started

Difficulties encountered during the use of eTEK™ Accounting are almost always traced back to improper setup.  Following the procedures in this section can prevent many problems.  
Complete the procedures covered in this section before entering any transactions into the application.  The eTEK™ Accounting system will not allow you to enter your own information into the database without completing these steps. Some steps on the System Setup screen are marked REQUIRED and must be completed before the system can be used. Other steps that are marked optional can either be completed during the initial setup or performed at a later date. Once a setup step has been completed, the status on that action will become COMPLETE.
The eTEK™ Accounting system will display default debit and the credit accounts during accounting transactions by the way you setup your general ledger chart of accounts and selected your defaults in the Company Profile Records.  Verify these are correct and complete before setting up other modules.  Also keep in mind people who are unfamiliar with accounting may be entering information, so make your account descriptions simple and understandable to non-accountants whenever possible.
