What are Register window?
What are register
window? Well a register is
A window that both:
shows the transactions that are listed and recorded in the account in (the
chart of accounts).
A window that allows you
to record transactions directly into that account. It was made to
look like the old register books from the days of bookkeeping before the
computer.
You can see every
transaction listed and you can edit or add a transaction right there
in the same window and if you do that then you will be able to see
the change in the balance of the account immediately.
Using Register Window
So you
would
Open each one of them
from the chart of accounts. Window that we learned about earlier in the
minimum bookkeeping.
You can edit any
transaction you see just by clicking on it.
The data fields in each
line of the register are the same as in the windows that we
originally used to record these transactions.
the advantage to using
the register window instead of what we used before like the: deposit
window, the check window, the expense window and credit
card charges window so on, You see the advantage is that the running
balance as you record and enter each transaction in this window.
So let's take
a look you should click the cog
wheel and you go all the way across to where it
says chart of accounts. Now you can view the register for most of the accounts in the chart of
accounts. Any account that is simply income and expense you
can only run a report but
the other accounts of the different types you can open in a register window for example look at
cash in chase bank. We can click
view register close this
little hint and you can see here let's stretch this a bit and
you can see that starting from January 1 there are two lines in the register window, for each
of the transactions that we have recorded into this account. The account
called cash in chase bank remember back on January 1 we had
the first deposit from Allen. Remember back on January 5th we wrote
our first check. Notice how the running balance changes.
Find Balance in Register Window
So if somebody asks you
what is the balance on a specific date you can look in the date column and go
across to the balance and you will know the balance
on that specific date. Also you
notice that there's two lines for every one transaction and if you click
anywhere in the two lines. You will be able to edit any of
the fields of data that are in this transaction. Remember in the
original payment window that we recorded this payment to need’s taxi we
had a field to put in the name the expense account
the transaction number date and money amount.
So these are all
the same fields that were in that original window except they're squashed
into these two little lines. If you go up and click any of the
transactions in any of the registers. Once you change the money
amount the running balance will change immediately and all of the other
balances going forward will change because the running balance depends on
previous balances. That’s the way the old register style books
used to look like in the days before the computer.
You should also know
that you can go back. Well there's a quick way you can open up from
this pull down any other account in the chart of accounts that has
available a register window. For example if we wanted to look at the American
express credit card that's one way of opening it up.
We could have clicked cog wheel chart of accounts and gone
down to the american express credit card and clicked view
register to open it up. so now we're looking at all of our credit
card charges credits and payments all in one window but again the
two advantages here is that you can see the running balance
after each transaction.
You can look at it and
change it at the moment that you're looking at the entire account and the
running balance.
Why Learn to Register Window?
Now you may well ask why
we learn to register Window. In a minimum of bookkeeping.
The reason is that there are
two types of transactions that need to be recorded in the register window
of the account called owner's investment one of them is when the owner
pays a business expense from his or her non-business
personal account.
The second is when an
owner brings a personal non-business asset from home into the
business to be used for business purposes.
Owner’s Investment business expenses from non-business
account
So let's consider the
example let's imagine
On January 19th, 2022,
Wanda paid Ronda’s repair shop $500 dollars for a business
related repair expenses her personal check #1785
So what will be the
result? Well repair expense will increase by 500 dollars.
Because we just paid for more repair expenses and it will become
1700 dollars and that money came from the owner's pocket from
their personal account into the business expenses that 500 dollars
increases the owner's investment to 700 dollars. This
is what the trial balance should look like after we record this
transaction.
The top right we
click the cog wheel and we go over and click chart
of accounts we scroll down to
the account that says owners investment and go across to the right then click view register. Now notice the
only transaction in this register is the one we made in the prior article
for 200 dollars. So we click add journal entry. Add journal
entry and we have to put in the check number as the document number for
this transaction the date will be January 19th of 2022 and the person
whom we paid was Ronda’s repair shop and the reason we paid was for
repair expense.
Let’s just go up here repair
expense now is owner's investment increasing or
decreasing. Well the account we are in is increasing so we put
the $500 in the increase column, because we have both more owner investment
from personal to business expenses and we also have more company
repair expense for the business repair. That Ronda just did. When
we click save you notice the balance does increase to the $700 we
predicted. The best place to look at these reports and then go to the
trial balance. You can see the numbers are exactly as what we
predicted the owner's investment balance is now a total of $700 and
repair expense has increased to one thousand seven hundred
dollars.
Owner’s Non Cash Assets into the Register
Window
On January 20th, 2022
vonder brought to the office a piece of video equipment to be used
only for business from this point forward the fair market value of
the equipment on January 20 is 1000 dollars.
Owner’s Investing Non
Cash Assets in to the Register Window. You can add a new account on the chart
of account that means that you can add a list item like a chart of
account Owner’s Non Cash Assets accounts or a vendor name at the moment
that you make the transaction.
What will be the
result? well Owner’s Non Cash Assets or equipment the new account
will show up for the first time as a 1000 dollars because that was the
value of the equipment at the moment that vonder brought it to the office.
It came from the owner personal to the business owners investment will
also increase by a $1000 and become one thousand seven hundred
dollars.
We click the cog wheel go to chart of accounts scroll down
to the owner investment account and click view register. Now you could click okay. So you click in the register and
you could add a transfer instead of a journal entry. If you're
bringing a fixed Owner’s Non Cash Assets so click transfer and now you
have a new fresh open field to record this transaction.
Now the date of the
transfer was January 20 of 2022 and there is no payee in this case but the account that represents the reason why
you're making this transaction or increasing the owner's investment
is not yet on the list. so you scroll to the top and click add new and we're
right back in the ad account to the chart of accounts window. That we
learned about in the beginning of the minimum bookkeeping. The type is
fixed asset and the detail type can be some kind of Owner’s Non Cash
Assets or equipment and if it doesn't say equipment it doesn't matter what
you choose. I would choose OWNER’S NON CASH ASSETS and change
the name to all caps because the detail type in this case is not relevant
we click save and close.
Now we know
that the owner's investment is changing because there's a change in
the company account Owner’s Non Cash Assets or equipment is the account we are
in increasing or decreasing. We are in the owner's investment
account and the owner's investment account is
increasing because more is being invested into the company a thousand dollars’
worth of equipment.
we can click
reports trial balance and you can see the numbers are exactly as
what we expected, owner's investment increased to one
thousand seven hundred dollars and Owner’s Non Cash Assets or
equipment showed up for the first time as a thousand dollars.
