The Department of Michigan Veterans of Foreign Wars is now the new owner of the VSS Software Services program.  As you all are aware of the death of the owner back in October 2007, all support for this program came to a halt and your programs began to lock down because of the expiration date in the software.

VSS Tricks

Listed below is comments that other VSS users have come up with to make things work easier or better.  If you have a suggestion please send it to us!

 

When writing checks from the Bingo Account, you use the Bingo checking account and a ledger account (audit account) with the proper title for the bank checking account. For instance, you are writing a check for bingo supplies you would set up a ledger account for bingo supplies under the bingo checking account. You then write the check from the bingo account and charge it to the bingo ledger account called supplies. That keeps your bingo checking account in balance. You do not have to put a negative in front of the check as it automatic takes it from the account.  

When you do an adjustment to an account you have to remember that the negative is used for the debt account and the positive is used for the credit account.
