  • GST Guide form shows how to fill in your GST Return (New Zealand) or BAS (in Australia).

Smart forms

Unlike other accounting systems, customisation is not limited to changing the layout and font—MoneyWorks forms can have built-in intelligence.

 

Example 1

An invoice form could be set up to automatically include an overdue warning if the invoice is reprinted after it's due date.

 

Example 2

A product price label could be set up to automatically print as many copies of a price label as there are units of that product in stock.

 

Easy Labels

Speaking of labels, they are very easy to lay out using the MoneyWorks forms designer.

In the form layout dialog box, you can use the mouse to set the size and spacing of the labels, or you can type in the measurements in centimetres or inches.

When printing labels on sheets you can start part-way through a partly-used sheet. No more wasted labels—MoneyWorks will skip the ones that have already been used
