HELP SYSTEM
INTRODUCTION TO THE HELP SYSTEM
  
TurboCASH includes a comprehensive help system which allows you to access help on any screen in TurboCASH. It also includes many solutions on transactions a business may encounter. Some examples are , sales, purchases, petty cash, receipts, payments, depreciation, bad debts (calculating provision for bad debts, recording and processing transactions to create, increase and decrease provision for bad debts), recovery of bad debts, payroll transactions (salaries and wages) etc. In the case of transactions, we have also included the T-Account view (the way most of the text books on Accounting explains accounting to us) of the transactions for your convenience.

In addition to these comprehensive help topics, you may also order the Plug-ins CD info@pinksoft.co.za on which we have included a range of movie clips (209 movie clips) which allows you to view the help topics in the Camtasia Player.
