          Continue importing new records, too.

  Or the software can recalculate everything in a consistent manner from the original date.

Import - How our clients use this feature:
  1) Most converted their spreadsheet records and now utilize the Editing screen.
  2) Some maintain all records in a spreadsheet and always import their entire file.
  3) Other clients converted, now use the Editing screen but also import new records:
        Files created at branch sites.
        Sent from their Accounts Payable (A/P) department.

Export, too.
  Copy any report and paste to a worksheet.
       Includes Book Value, Accumulated, Remaining Term
       Other calculated values "as of" any month.

 Allocate monthly amortization
Generally, monthly amortization is posted directly to a general ledger expense account.

If need be, the software can create posting transactions for a single record to multiple:
     Branch, department, RC, cost center accounts.

Allocate using one or more Methods defined by you, such as:
     - Same percentage to each cost center (evenly).
     - A specific fixed percentage.
     - Varying percentage, based on:
           Workstation count, employee count, department square feet, revenue stream, asset dollars, more.
     - Which centers are to participate in an allocation Method.
     - Virtually any number of different Methods for any purpose that can be expressed numerically.

Allocating is easy:
     - Merely substitute the cost center portion of a general ledger account number with a Method.
          Cost center identifiers can be of any length.
          They can be located at the beginning, middle or end of an account number.
     - A Method can even be shared among records having different base account numbers.

Audit trail:
     The system creates a report showing how each amount was allocated.
