ATG 383, Susan Walsh Assignments

Spring, 2002

These chapters will introduce you to other features of Peachtree. Some of these have not yet been covered in class. You must follow the instructions in the text carefully since you will complete many of these exercises on your own.

Also, the text asks you to print many reports. This is not necessary. You only need to turn-in the reports listed below.

IMPORTANT: Pay careful attention to instructions that tell you to change accounting periods.

REMEMBER: You must turn-in a back-up of your work as of Dec. 31 before you complete the year-end closing process. 

RESTORING YOUR WORK once you leave class. Peachtree requires that you first open a company before you restore it. However, since "Susan Walsh" will not be found on a new computer, you should quickly go through the new company set-up process. On the company information screen, just enter your name. Then, once this new company is running, restore your backed up files. You will then be at the same place where you left off.

Chapter 9

  • Remember that when setting up the company (see text, page 249), the name Susan Walsh should be changed to your name.
