Control of 9999 transit account during preparation for accounts

In the Preparation for accounts file Options (accessible via the Action>Options command), a transit account is specified, generally 9999 by default.

When preparing the accounts, a check will be made to ensure that the total of the debit and credit entry lines in this transit account is indeed zero, otherwise a message will tell you which salary slips are not balanced.

To do this, select the relevant salary record(s), search for the linked salary types (Action>Linked records>Salary types command) and see which salary type needs to be completed on the Link to accounting tab with the Accounting export check box and the Account number and Counterpart.

Generally, the gross total will be credited to account 9999, the deductions will be debited, along with the salary paid, so that the transit account is set to zero.

The aim of this control in OM Staff is to avoid exporting non-balanced entry lines and ending up in OM Finance with a difference in the 9999 transit account.
