Quick Tip: Accents Marks in BookMan

Keying accents marks in BookMan is super easy!

To key an accent on the letter ó, hold down option + e. Release both keys and type the letter o. You can use this same shortcut for any vowel (option+e, vowel).

Refund & Cancel Marked Contracts

This is a new batch function for users on 2.8.1 and above and it does exactly what the name states. You mark the contracts and BookMan goes through them refunding each payment made on the contract and then changes the status to Cancelled. Even if you don't have numerous contracts to cancel at once it's nice for even one contract that may have multiple payments... saves you from having to manually refund each payment.

This batch will also save an export for you to review after the batch has been run, that way you can compare and also keep for your records.

Once these contracts are cancelled you can then use the Make Adjustments to Marked Contracts batch. This batch allows you to write off money on an account and gives you options to decide how much needs to be adjusted, you can also select the reason for the adjustment, the default adjustment types will appear but if you need more you can set that up in your BookMan Prefs under the Lists tab.

These two batches take care of 3 manual and sometimes tedious tasks.

Update to the latest OS X for $29

Apple is now offering their latest OS X update for just $29...

We recently sent out an announcement on the minimum version requirements for the latest BookMan version 2.8.4, Ad-Man & SalesMan and since 10.5 is a bit hard to come by these days we thought we would let everyone know that with this pricing you might as well update to the latest and greatest for just $29. For those of you currently using 10.5... this isn't a bad price for an upgrade!
