Accounting Options

Show pennies

These items control the number display of the Running total column in Ledgers, and the total column in Logbooks.

Put a check after any type of worksheet where you would like pennies to be displayed (costs will be shown like this: 3,241.06). Make this choice if you have a large monitor, and want to see the extra accuracy.

Leave unchecked any type of worksheet that you would like showing whole dollars only (costs will be shown like this: 3,240). The actual cost will be calculated as entered, but the display will round the actual cost to the nearest dollar. Make this choice if you don't have room to display the extra columns, or if you don't need to see costs to the nearest penny.

NOTE-- Goldenseal construction accounting software replaced MacNail in 2000. It's an integrated program that includes general accounting, job costing, payroll and project billing, plus estimating and other features. Goldenseal includes many options for number and date formatting.

Either choice will only affect new rows added to the accounting worksheets in the MacNail construction accounting software.
