Purpose

This manual provides instructions for using both the Initial Setup phase and the Recovery Processing phases of the General Ledger application. Chapters 2 and 3 provide instructions on transferring records from your present accounting system to APPX General Ledger. Use these chapters as a guide for setting up your General Ledger application. If you follow each step in the order described, you should have a successful installation.

Chapter 4 provides instructions for using the Recovery Processing phase of APPX General Ledger. Access to the Recovery Processing functions and this manual should be strictly limited. With these programs, users can make changes to system parameters, Transaction Control records and other system-maintained data that is normally not accessible during Live Operations.

Use these functions to recover from problem situations. For example, a power surge can damage records which are maintained by the system and which must be accurate and complete for the system to function properly. You can only obtain access to system-maintained files through Recovery Processing. (Under normal conditions, most data entry errors can be corrected by using File Maintenance Change mode or the Transaction Processing functions while still in the Live Operations phase.)

If you use Recovery Processing, the system creates a modification log for any changes. Remember that any changes you make to Recovery Processing may affect the integrity of the audit trail.

The features described in this manual are included in the standard General Ledger application. Any modification to the software or documentation is the responsibility of the software consultant who makes the modification.
