Hi Stan,

  I really like MBA, and the profit and loss report was a big help when I filled my taxes. The totals I needed were right there. I  still don't understand the sales summary report. It has an amount for the total sales to customers that is usually alot less than  the total on my sales order. I understand that if I use it it will be a big help in the accounting worksheet. I guess I don't understand how  MBA arrived at the figures on the sheet, and what is  Discretionary price discounts? I know that it's the total of all discounts I give customers, but if I add those up myself I don't come up with the same figure as  the sales summary. So what am I doing wrong? Thank you for your help, and the help of anyone else that replies to this.

I have some of the same problems. With this type of "fill in the blanks" type of accounting the data that you get out is only as good as the data you put in. I'm not sure I'm putting the right numbers in the right blanks all the time.

I'm hoping with version 3 of MBA it will fill in a lot of the blanks automatically from data that is already in the MBA program's database and keep me from inputing the wrong data in the wrong place. I'm relatively new to Avon accounting. I'm sure that, with a little time and help from old hands at doing Avon accounting, Stan will give us a program that takes the guess work out of accounting in MBA when it comes to filling in the blanks.

I'm looking forward to the new version 3 of MBA.

Thanks for your input Kotty. I'm very disappointed Stan is to busy to answer this. I'm not comfortable inputting figures on my accounting worksheet  when  I can't explain how they were reached. If for some reason someone would ask me I want to beable to tell them. Espacially when you add the customer sales on the invoice, and come up with a completely different figure.

I know your a very busy man Stan, but I'm lost here.

Just so you are aware, I've experienced a problem in these reports. The sales detail report seems to be always wrong, and can't be used for the accounting purposes. If you have ever added an item, or changed a price, the sales detail report will not catch that, and will put it in at a different price. That is how I first noticed these accounting errors. I'm assuming that will go away in the new version.

The sales & statistics report seems to be accurate all of the time, and that is the report I use for my accounting. It's not really a fill in the blank accounting, but it does give you the nubmers you need to figure it out.
