By now most of you will have experienced the highs and the lows of using the Internet as a reference tool. It's great using a search engine that finds the information you are looking for in seconds, but equally infuriating to search through endless sites only to be confronted with garbage. While there is a wealth of information and resources available, there is just as much, if not more, useless or misleading information as well. Using a search engine may return results from thousands of different websites so it is quite easy to lose track of the sites that contain relevant material as you browse through the multitude of options.
Once you find a useful site the trick is to remember it for future use. All Internet browsers have the facility to bookmark favorite websites or web pages so that you can return easily in the future. For example, if you use Internet Explorer as your browser you can bookmark websites by following these instructions:
 |
Go to FAVORITES>ADD TO FAVORITES
| |
|
The NAME field will show the name that has automatically been assigned to this site. If you would like to change this name simply overtype the details in this field.
| |
|
Click OK
|
|
|
A link to this website will now be included in your Favorites menu
| |
You can also organise these into logical folders to separate personal interest sites from work related sites, or even create a separate folder for a particular research project. By building up a list of reference sites you'll make surfing the web a more accurate and enjoyable exercise.
Here are some great sites to get you started:

How do I clear General Ledger Transfer figures?
Under normal circumstances you do not need to manually clear the GL transfer figures. These clear automatically when you carry out a transfer of payroll information as follows:
|
Go to FILE>GL TRANSFER
| |
|
Click on CREATE to transfer payroll information to a General Journal in SAS2000. Alternatively, you can use this process to import payroll information as a text file into another General Ledger package.
| |
However, you may on occasion need to manually clear the GL transfer figures in cases where you do not want the information to be transferred.
A case in point may be where you process a payroll in the morning and complete the transfer to your General Ledger. Some time later the computer that contained the Pay2k database fails resulting in you restoring your Pay2k data from the previous night's backup.
You now need to reprocess the last pay, but transferring to General Ledger again will cause a duplication as General Ledger was unaffected by the computer failure. After updating the payroll run you would manually clear the General Ledger transfer figures instead of transferring them using the following option:
|
Go to END PERIOD>CLEAR GL TRANSFER FIGURES
| |
