just some reflections today (:

supposed to do proj tdy, but in the end we didnt. found out that something is wrong with our database and the computer.

called for the technician and it took up almost the whole lesson to try to get it fixed. and i went to lab9 after 5 pm to see how's the progress. the technician managed to get it fixed. :)

but after all these things i learnt that we must delete the projco and projdb in the data folder before copying our database over, if not our database is not purely our work. i think thats why recently we keep having this problem of not getting the right database with batches completed and processed that we never touched and attempted before.

also learnt that we should not leave things to do at the last minute especially for projects, if not we will rush and we will not produce quality work. also, at the last minute, it is so much harder to complete the project(especially this), as there are so many things to do.

lastly, we can check and see if there is something wrong with the database if the database size suddenly become very big, and if there are so many projco and projdb folders.

days spent on project

forgot to blog about the days we did cas project so here's a detailed blogpost on our proj mtgs.

thursday, 18 june
met up for our first project meeting. jonathan joined us later in the lab. we managed to create the accounts, the segment codes, key in opening balances and setting up the bank and tax services. i think its quite a good start with us not being very skilled at accpac.

i forgot whatever things that i learnt when we did the tutorials last time. had to refer quite a lot on the accpac manual. i helped create the segment codes and i slowly manage to recap quite a bit abt accpac :) i also typed the opening balances into the gl system.

photos! :DD


friday,19 june
still managed to get quite some things done. cos the batch list in gl system keep showing there is the recurring entries, ar and ap batch and we havent did up to the stage. in the end, we managed to get our database. siti left and me and jonathan continued the project by setting up the ap and ar system :) we managed to set up acc sets, billing cycles, acc terms and adding in the acc receivables. took over from where jonathan left when he typed and type the rest of the data into the system and he just read it out for me to type.

i learnt that it is easier to continue the project for my groupmates to be around so that one can read out and the other can just type these things into the system. the rest can check and see if there is any input errors and when my teammate is tired from typing, the rest can just take over from what he/she is doing. in this way, the proj can continue more efficiently. we can also ask each other if we have any doubts of the proj.

monday, 22 june
went to meet for cas proj again, but its later, at 3 pm :) finally. tried 8 computers in lab8 to find the correct database and none worked. we managed to get the correct one, and we did the recurring entries today. altogether we managed to do 7 recurring entries, although there is still some more havent completed yet.

wednesday, 24 june
we redoed the recurring entries.

today, 25 june
today i managed to enter the sales transactions of mechanical, equipment and electrical product into the ar systems. followed the accpac manual and entered into the system the sales returns of the product and the receipts from ar.

learnt how to create a receipts batch list and key in the receipts from ar. i also learnt that for sales returns, we create a batch in ar in ar invoice entry but the document type must change to credit notes.
