Information: Top

In Macola when posting, you have the option to post from
a fixed length ASCII file, into Progression General Ledger.
You can create this ASCII file with the GL Journal ASCII
Import Excel Spreadsheet. Why spend hours entering a journal
entry line by line each month, when you can create all your
Journal entries in an excel spreadsheet and then just import
them into Macola. Furthermore, you can set up templates
to use each month which makes it even simpler.
Once you have entered all the values for your Journal entry
into excel, then just push the 'Create ASCII File' button
and the ASCII file will be created in the proper Macola
Directory and is ready to post.(Only one person can use
this at a time) Before creating the ASCII file, the spreadsheet
will ensure that all dates are actual dates, all fields
are the correct length, the journal is balanced or not,
and that dollar amounts are numeric. If there are problems,
the spreadsheet will identify them with a yellow background
and a cell note describing the problem. Just correct the
problems and try to create the ASCII file again.
That's it. its quick and easy, and with the time you will
save, it will pay for itself in only a few months.
