Change a Column’s GST Tax Type:

Cashflow Manager has a uniquely simple system to help you calculate your GST. You simply allocate a GST ‘Tax Type’ that matches the boxes on the Business Activity Statement to your columns.
When entering Money In you record the gross amount (including GST) into the appropriate column and the GST will be automatically calculated from the GST ‘Tax Type’ allocated to the column.

The GST ‘types’ for Money Out are:
GST: All business payments subject to the GST (other than Capital Purchases)
Capital Purchases: Purchases of plant & equipment, property or other assets. There are separate GST ‘types’ for Capital Purchase that are taxable, those where you are not charged GST (GST-free) and those related to Input Taxed Income.
GST-free: Payments to non-registered entities, or where you have not been charged GST.
Input Taxed: Payments that you have made in respect of input taxed income.
Non-GST: Payments that are not to be reported on your GST calculation sheet, e.g. salaries & wages, owners’ drawings, or other acquisitions that are not for use in your business.
The GST ‘Tax Type’ of each column determines the GST calculation and reporting of any amounts entered into the column.

1. Click on the Customise Columns icon and select the section (Money In or Money Out) that the column is in.
2. Click on the Tax Type for the column you wish to change. A drop-down button will appear. Click on the button and select the type you require.
3. Click on [Save] when you have finished and then [Cancel] if you wish to exit.

Cashflow Manager can communicate with your Accountant's General Ledger program, which uses numbers instead of column headings for processing your data.
1. Select your Accountant’s General Ledger program by clicking on the [Options] icon and then Accountant’s General Ledger Format. You can then edit the Accountant’s Code for individual columns as follows.
2. Click on the [Customise Columns] icon and select the section (Money In or Money Out) that the column is in. Click on the Accountant's Code for the column you wish to change.
3. Type in the new code
4. Click on [Save] when you have finished and then [Cancel] if you wish to exit.

The Profit/Loss indicator determines whether the column totals are reported in the Profit and Loss Report or the Balance Sheet (Movement) Report.

1. If the Profit/Loss Field is ticked then that column is designated as a Profit/Loss column. This means that this column will be included in the Profit and Loss Report. If the column is not designated as a Profit and Loss column then it will be included in the Balance Sheet (Movement) Report.
2. Click on [Save] when you have finished and then [Cancel] if you wish to exit.

5. Click on [Save] when you have finished and then [Cancel] if you wish to exit.
 

Change a Column's Width:

This function is carried out from within the Money In or Money Out sections. Columns have a maximum width on the screen.
