Autosoft System Setup Check

The purpose of this guide is to explain the Autsoft System Installation and how you can check it yourself and make any changes necessary to make sure you are ready to use it as of your 'Go - Live' date. This guide can also be used for existing customers wanting to check/edit or set up all of the main features in Autosoft. 

Your Autosoft system is Live and ready to go!

 The main things to note are;

1. The login now gives you the option of 2 databases Autosoft5 or Training5 so PICK WISELY as the AUTOSOFT5 is your ACTUAL LIVE database.

2.  Any new data entered in your old system between today and the day you have chosen to completely go live will not be transferred so take note of it to enter it in Autosoft if necessary.

3. All your Creditors/Debtor an GL accounts will not have a balance in Autosoft so you will need to enter them in the initial Entry program. The guide on how to do this is here; http://service.autosoft.com.au/entries/21506700-How-to-Do-Initial-Entry-Opening-and-Closing-Balances-Opening-General-Ledgers-
