Understanding File Maintenance

Think of each Profi'C module (such as Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable) as separate books. Each of these books has several chapters (Inquiry, Data Entry, Reporting, etc.) and in each chapter are pages (such as Cash Receipts Entry, Daily Cash Receipt Journal, and Accounts Receivable Invoice Posting).

A lot of work is involved when information is entered manually into Books by hand and the information is put on several different pages in several different chapters - which is just what Profi'C will eliminate. Instead, you are going to enter all your current business information (such as customer names, addresses, vendor names, company branches, etc.), JUST ONCE ... IN ONE LOCATION, here in this File Maintenance module. Once entered into this File Maintenance module, this information will automatically link to all your other modules. So, once you enter information in this File Maintenance module, you don't have to repeat the entry elsewhere in the Profi'C System.

NOTE: Many of the Profi'C modules contain their own File Maintenance files which you must enter in addition to these Master Files before you can run that particular module.
