Hi,

We just purchased Quik Check Plus 6.1B for Windows and need to know how cutting QCWIN checks can properly reflect in the Accpac Plus GL 6.1A for DOS where we have multiple companies set up, each with its own general ledger account. Thank you.

Hello SPA,

QCW handles multiple companies the same way that your Quik Check for DOS did.

When you create a new check you choose the GL account for each distribution on it.

But we have three GL accounts in Accpac Plus for DOS, each with (for example) its own GL acct number 1111 - How can we tell the check to pull from GL account 1111 from the *correct* company's GL ?

Dear SPA

Under normal circumstances "Multi-company" databases are setup individually by creating a unique dataset for each company, they may have the same GL account structure, but they do not share the same database. This would be shown in the WSM Start list as 3 separate GL entries. If this is what you are referring to, you would simply start QCWIN & instead of clicking on the "Open" button, you would "point" it to the correct dataset by clicking on the "Data path" field and typing in the correct path/data extension for that company OR using the Browse buttons directly to the right of this field. In this way, you would thus be creating an individual QCWIN database for each of these companies.

If, however you mean you have several "Companies" setup within ONE ACCPAC Plus G/L database, but each "Company" is differentiated by an individual G/L DEPARTMENT within this GL - (eg AP GL Acct is 3000, but there are 3 different 'companies' (departments), so you would have 3000-1, 3000-2 and 3000-3 as the G/L account codes for Company 1, 2 and 3 respectively.)

If this is the scenario, simply enter the check information, then under Acct/Dept, either type in the GL Account (3000), or use the finder, then select the appropriate account, then use the tab key, or move your mouse cursor to the Dept field & press your down arrow to select the correct dept (company). Then continue with filling in the other fields. You can simplify this by creating some new "Distribution codes" for the different companies within QCWIN, tagging each new distribution code with the appropriate GL account & department for each of these companies.

If both of the above scenarios is not what you are speaking of, please send more information and please be specific and detailed in your description, so we can more fully understand your situation. Please try to use proper terminology, as this may be part of the translation problem.
