Books is a newly released accounting program from DealPOS, designed to replace the previous system, accounting.dealpos.app. While its core function is similar to the old Accounting app, Books focuses on providing a simpler approach to bookkeeping.

One of the key advantages of Books is its seamless integration with the DealPOS system. This allows users to easily connect their POS with the accounting module, making financial management more efficient and reducing the need for manual adjustments.

In this article, we’ll walk you through some of the basic menus and features to help you get started with Books, so you can begin managing your bookkeeping quickly and effectively. So lets get started:

III. Chart of Accounts (COA)

  • Accounts: The Chart of Accounts (COA) is basically a list of all financial accounts in your company’s general ledger. Think of it as a map that helps you organize and understand your company’s finances in a simple way. From here, you can also create or add new COAs whenever you need.

IV. Journal

  • Manual Journal

    The General Journal, also known as the Manual Journal, is the first book where a company records its daily financial transactions, including those automatically generated from the POS. It is often called the book of original entries because all transactions are recorded here before being posted to other ledgers.
