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!

Christmas

I am definitely a shopper and Christmas is my favorite time of year to give fun thoughtful gifts. I have a few go-to web sites I thought I would share in case you find yourself in need of a great gift for that special someone...

For girls:
stilacosmetics.com The Stila Color Wheel eye-shadow is my favorite. The color wands for $10 are a good choice too.

bestbuy.com Check out the Cotton-Candy maker. A little boy "spilled the beans" and told me I was getting one of these this year! WOOT!

anthropologie.com The monogrammed coin purses are perfect for that girl who has EVERYTHING. And at $24 each... you can buy one for yourself too!

paper-source.com There is a "gift" section on this site. I would recommend everything and everything here! I love Lucia soap, it smells amazing and doesn't dry out your skin.

For guys:
batterupcookiedough.com home-baked cookie dough delivered right to your door. What more could a guy ask for?

thinkgeek.com Anything on this site would be perfect for the nerd in your life. I recommend the Electronic Drum Kit shirt.

qvc.com The EyeClops Night Vision Infrared Stelth binoculars are a bit creepy yet cool.

nuttyguys.com They have the best gift boxes and baskets... you choose your combination of nuts, chocolate & dried fruit. They even have a cinnamon bear gift pack that includes chocolate cinnamon bears, and yogurt cinnamon bears! YUMMY!

restorationhardware.com I'm probably going to be buying Survival Kits in a Sardine Can for all 3 of my brothers this year. Creative yet useful?

If you are sporty:
gift.water.org The camelback water bottle is awesome!

llbean.com A personal organizer is great for the girl or guy on the go. Holds everything you need for a night away from home.

A Shortcut for Keying Listings...

When you are adding or editing a listing, have you ever noticed that BookMan will occasionally recommend a different address to you in red?

To use the address in red, there is a shortcut you can do so you don't have to re-key the address information. The f5 (function) key will copy the information in red onto the address line.

If you've never used this shortcut, save yourself some time and try it out!

We Are Closed

BookMan will be closed Thursday November 25th and Friday November 26th!!!

Override Duplicate Check Number

Do you ever run into a problem when you cannot apply a check because it is a duplicate check number? There is a permission that can be given so that an individual user can override the duplicate check number alert. First you will want to have an admin go into "Users":

You will then want to choose the user you want to give this permission to and go into their permissions:
From here you will choose "Accounting" and "Set Close Date", and click "Allow". This will give them permission to override the duplicate check number alert.
Lastly, from here you will just need to click "Save" and "Save" once more.
