QL Integrated Accounts

QL Integrated Accounts was released for the Sinclair QL by SageSoft and in many ways has a similar look and feel to the slightly earlier QL Cash Trader - which is no surprise according to a former employee of Accounting Software Limited

The program was written in C and you have to enter commands such as

CRUN 'mdv1_post'

to run the software following the initial Boot program.

This is a full blown accounting package, based by Sage Software's existing accounting packages for IBM PCs and ACT Apricot computers at the time, with sales and purchase ledgers, general and nominal ledgers.

This includes features which are missing from QL Cash Trader - mainly the ability to retain customer and supplier information, as well as the ability to enter invoices and purchase orders. The audit trail report also reports invoice or payment details alongside each transaction making it easier to audit the accounts.

Unfortunately QL Integrated Accounts fails to cope with years post 1st January 2000. It is also not possible to change the amount of VAT, this had to be done at SageSoft with a special program to patch the code.
