Cbal Utility

This help topic is applicable to the following TireMaster applications:

TireMaster Point of Sale	TireMaster Plus	TireMaster Corporate

Entering customer beginning balances with the Cbal utility automatically debits the general ledger’s AR account and credits the offset balances directly to the Startup AR account. Cbal entries also post to the selected customer’s ledger.

Note: The Cbal utility is only to be used during the going-online process to enter outstanding customer balances from your previous system.
