Pretty Good Accounting System
**CAUTION: This system will convert any numbers to be stored to zero if
they exceed 21,474,836.48
The system is incapable of sorting more than 8,000 vendors with
open accounts for the aged accounts report. However, by
categorizing vendors, it is possible to produce aged accounts
reports for each of up to 36 categories with up to 8,000 vendors
with open accounts in each category.
The system is incapable of performing an audit trail of over
3,000 transactions at once. However, number of transactions
for audit trails can be limited by both date range and other
exclusion parameters.
The trial balance in posting will only total up to 100 checks
at a time. Any additional checks posted simply will not show
on the trial balance but will be handled properly by the system.
Not over 100 temporary transaction files can be hidden at once.
Additional programming can work around most of the above
limitations if they become a significant problem.
