Our Last Post For Mini Blogging Project May 2012 Season

           Finally this is our last post for mini blogging project 2012 season. Start from the first post until the last post there are many things that we have learned. This mini blogging project really help us in Accounting Information System. The mini blogging project also give many advantages to us.

          When the first time we are given this task to do each post every week, we do not understand what is the relation between this task and our subject but since we are students and we want to score high marks for this subject, so we perform all the task given by Sir Affendi with all of our spirit. Every week he gave us different title for our post.

          This blogging project actually really help us in improve our english writing. Since this semester we do not take any english subject, so we all did not practice our writing. This blogging project really help us in thinking what to write and what to tell. It is a good practice for us so that we do not forget how to write a good post in English.

          Besides that, the mini blogging project actually give us advantage to refer back to what we have learn in class. During do the UBS project, we have to practic back all the lesson that we learn in class but unfortunately as a student we cannot memorise all the thing that Sir Affendi thought us.So by refer back the steps learned in class that we have post in our mini blogging project, it help us to remember back what steps we need to do.

          Since this is the last post for our mini blogging project may 2012, we ROSE SYAHIRA BT ROSLI and NOORMAWATI BT OTHMAN would like to show our big appreciation and thank you to our lecturer Sir Affendy because always be there for us and always guide us with all of his heart just to make sure we and our classmates can really understand this subject because the knowledge we get from this subject is really important for us especially during practical.

Enjoy some videos from us! :)

PART 1

PART 2

Challanges Encountered When Doing UBS_MSU CSR Project For May 2012 session

       Our UBS project now in progrest. Now in mood of Raya we must manage our time to do this project as well as for study. From now we just have 3 week before final examination.  So we must do the best to finish this project.

      From the bigining we get the chalanging to get company. We try interviw some company befor we get the permiton later. From the feedback, that company not give us permition.

      After we get the permition later, we go to the one company. At first they give fid back to allow us after they get permition from the person incharge of the office. Then we wating call from them.Then the person incharge have a lot of work to do it. So, they cannot cooperat whit us.

      Alhamdulillah, the second company we chosen give us very good cooperation whish is MoreCap Sdn Bhd. Thanks a lot to Miss Hazira as the Purshasing Coordinator, also thanks a lot to Mr.Rosman Salim as the Director give us change to interview them. We get the documnt for the requaitment.

    Morover, we must translate the document to the manual transection accounting. We find that document using Eur. We must refer to the company person to get the rate for transer to RM. We get good fid back from Miss Hazira. She help us with expanation for that document and rate to calculate the transaction.

WE SETTLE OUR PROJECT

Translating document to  journal and ledger

After that, we must key in all transection to journal at microsoft word,

then ledger acc. to microsoft excel. 

           Before we want to key in in UBS Accounting we must instal first UBS Accounting Software using the cd we alredy buy from our lacture suggested. We fill very happy when sucessful install UBS in our own computer.



         When we key in all transection to UBS Accounting. The first problem in UBS is,when we key in tarnsection to wrong batch, that transection cannot change to other batch. We aply skill already teach by our lacture Mr.Noreffendy. We must V.edit first using 10x * (**********). then key in back to right batches. After that we wrong key in amount, we also must using the same skil.

        After we finish key in all transection using UBS, we must prepare the printed project paper. We follow the requarement. We have problem to print out the report using the own printer. Then we go to ciber cafe to print out our document.

       After finish print out all document form microsoft word , microsoft exal and UBS comuterise data. We send to hardcover service shop to bind using hard cover. Before we send we servay first, we go to uselly shop we go, at first that shop can doing bind using hardcover, but when we send, they say so sory because they canot have stamp logo MSU. They suggest to go to another shop have MSU logo. Alhamdulillh the another shop can do it.  


However, on the day we want to pick our report, there are some mistakes. They forget to put the company name and the title of report at the side of the hard cover book. But then, they realised that the mistakes is come from them so they edit back our report and make it right.

This is the final report that had finish.

Analyze the terms as stated below

Closing Date VS Accounting Period

Closing Date is you key in regarding  the last date accounting period. You can see when you key in closing date 31/12/2010 automaticly the Accounting Period can change to 2011.

Accounting Period is Starting Period Accounting Year to Closing Period Accountiong Year. You can adjust the month from January to December which are 1 to 12, but the date Accounting Year automaticly change when you change Clossing Date.



Add Entry VS Quick Entry

Add Entry is a single transaction entry procuder,key in double entry one by one. You may either key in debit entry and followed by credit entry or in revers sequence.

Quick Entry is double transection entry procuder. When you enter one side of double entry, the system will generate the other side of the entry automatically. You must determine what entry can be more time to key ni as Master Account. Master account can be any double entry account and it means the account's entry will be handle by the system.



Edit VS V.Edit

Edit is you may edit single trnsection only. You point first, then you just double click for example double click on the transection you want to edit then click on Edit button , then you can change what you want to change wather the a/c discription or figure in debit or figeure in credit in just one transection.


V.Edit is you may edit multiple trnsection in a batch by cliking the V.Edit button. V.Edit founction allows user to change / edit more then 1 transection in a batch at the same window. It is faster and easier for transections editing compare with the normal Edit function.


Backup VS Restore

Backup is compression of multiple data files from Sage UBS Accounting System into one compressed file and transfer the compressed file to floppy disk / UBS flash drive or hard disk.
You must Select Diskett Drive to C drive. When do backup, the system will generate a file call backup.acc . Then you must rename  backup.acc to new file name for easy to do another backup.

Restore is decompress the compressed file  from floppy disk / UBS flash drive or hard diskin order to recover back the multiple original data files which shall be stored back into the system. Before you doing restore make sure the file name is backup.acc becouse  the system just can read backup.acc file.


Deleting Individual/Business Transaction VS Deleting All Business Transaction

Deleting Individual/Business Transaction is clear only transection and batch titles will be deleted , chart of account and opening balance shall be remain. You can chose Clear only transection-chart & b/f remain at Clear Files/Generate Sample Chart in Sage UBS Accounting System , which is option no2.


Deleting All Business Transaction is all transections, account numbers and batch titles of the data folder will be deleted when you chose option no1. which is Clear both chart of accounts & transections in  Sage UBS Accounting System.

Accounting Assumption Page. What is it all about?

Lack of information or data

Based on our experience after learning UBS system, there are many cases that we will find to do a transaction. Different companies have different kind of sources of documents.Some companies have all the data or information that an accountant needed to do a transaction for financial statement and balance sheet but some of them sometimes do not have all the documents or information that we needed. As an accountant, we suppose to know how to overcomes all the problem. For an example, documents for electricity expenses is not available due to the lost of documents. Assumptions figure is used based on the interview with the owner of the company on how much usually they spend for the electricity and ask whether on that particular months the expenses are increases or decreases.

Information or data not available

The information or data not available is actually will effect the accountant during performing their job. For an example, Pizza Hut company have many employees and some of them like to do part time job to gain more income but Pizza Hut company did not record the part time expenses salaries that they give to the employees. They just record the monthly salaries paid to the employee. In this case, if the information or data of part time expenses salaries is not informed to the accountant, it will effect the financial statement. This is because there will be excessive expenses that the accountant can't find from where it comes because there are no supporting documents that record their expenses. Assumption figure is used based on the collecting all the supporting document and ask the in charge person of Pizza Hut company to record back all the expenses  of part time salaries as a prove of their expenses.


New information that need to be inform

As we know, all the companies have the same mission which is to maximize profit and minimize their cost. The different between all the business companies are whether they operate their companies by selling product or service. There are some companies such as Takaful Insurance and Am Bank sell their service but some of companies sell their product such as Giant and Tesco. Not only that, there are also a company that sell product and service at the same time such as Auto-mobile service where they sell their service and at the same time they also sell the accessories for the cars. There is some problems will arise for the accountant to record all the transaction for the Auto-mobile company because the company have two different kind of business. The problem for them is when they want to enter the batches for the company whether they should separate the sales of they should combined the sales. Assumption figure is used by enter two kind of batches which the first one is SALES- for the product sell  and SALES(SERVICE) - for the service sell. Which means that the information assist should be inform so that if the new accountant want to refer back their financial statement, they will know where the sales come from.


EIGHTH CLASS

-LESSON 3-

The new skill for this class is Entering Closing Stock Value of RM48,218.95.
Go to G6. Maintain Stock Value -> click Add->  BS a/c-> click 10x ( the amount can be appear at the box). Then OS a/c and CS a/c... do the same way.
After that, key in at This Year Opening Stock the amount of Closing Stock Value of RM48,218.95.

Mid Semester Examination Is Just Around The Corner

We are on Semester 4. There are 5 subjects we take on this semester which are Accounting Information System, Taxation 1, Advance Accounting 1, Audit 2, and cost Accounting 2. This week starts a tough week for us. We will take our Mid Semester Exam. Accounting Information System (AIS) is the first paper that we have to take. We really hope we get A for this subject and another 4 subjects.

We really do our best for all the papers. Since AIS paper is the first paper, we had make full preparation to do it. As a student, we think group study or group discussion is the best way to remember each point in each chapter so we and our other friends make a study group at MSU library and MSU square.

Besides that, we also get some past year paper from library to do it. At the library, they have given us 2 choices whether we can take the hard copy or the soft copy of question. If we choose to take the hard copy question, we can photo state it in the library but if we take the soft copy, we can save in our pen drive and print ourselves at home. So, we just save the soft copy and print ourselves.

Most of our lecturer give us so much help. They already told us if we do not understand in certain topic, we can see the but we have to make an appointment first to set the date and the time. This is because, during our mid semester examination, the lecturer also get busy with their work.

5 days before the examination starts, mentor mantee had make a programme for us. We got invitation from MSU to breakfasting with our mentor Miss Wan Rohayu and other lecturers too. Since there are many lecturers that teach us also breakfasting with us, we take this chance to ask some question to Madam Fathimatul who also teach us in subject Accounting Information System part theory. She is very kind lecturer and really help us during our preparation before we take the Mid Semester Examination.

Progress of UBS_CSR Project May 2012 Until 24th July 2012

Syukur Alhamdulillah now, we already get our potential company for the project, Morecap Sdn Bhd. Miss Hazira who is the Purchasing Coordinator at Morecap Sdn Bhd help us a lots in making appoinment and finding all the documents that we need. During the first time we went to the company, she really interested in our project and feel excited to help us. Thanks to her to giving us a chance to choose their company as our project for AIS.

Now we already get the document from Morecap company, we show to our lacture. Mr.Noreffendy take a look of our documents.

Alhamdulillah Mr Effendy accept our chosen documents and give compliment to us because we had complete our steps by steps before Mid Semester Examination. Even there are some document that we cant't find which is Cash Book.The company do not have Cash Book because all the payment made by the company are through bank in or check Now, Mr Effendy ask us to translate our documents' information into a ledger so that we can make a trasaction.

My 1st Blog Post Regarding Accounting Information System(DAC2104) Mini Blogging Project

On 12th June 2012, we started our class User Business System (UBS) Accounting Information System at Lab 408, Science Building, Management Science University.

Mr. Noreffendy Bin Mohamed is the lecturer that will teach us this subject for this semester.

On the first day,Mr. Noreffendy briefly explain to us about what we will learn on this subject and he  suggest the guide line book that we can refer is " Sage UBS Accounting Work Book 2011 Edition ".

First class.

We exposed to UBS Accounting Information System which it is different between manual accounting and computerized. UBS can helps us to convert an organization that use manual accounting system to computerize accounting system.

Since Sir Afendi already gave us UBS Accounting Information System Project in our first class, we think that we must give full commitment by always come to class and pay attention to what he explain in the class because all the information that he give are important for us to follow to make sure we are in the same track.

We are required to identify business organization that uses manual procedure in recording its business transactions until the preparation of final accounts.

Second class.

We are able to use the computerized accounting software which is UBS.  We fill so exited because this is the first time we have been exposed and learn about  UBS.

When first we used UBS, we feel very excited but Sir Afendi told us that all data can easily loss if we misclick the keyboard. So, he advice us to be careful and follow each step that he teach and try to ask him if we do not understand.

Lesson 1  

-Regarding a newly formed company, whose first month's activities involved only cash transaction. There is no opening balance, no debtor, no creditor and stock value. The starting period is 1

• Step 1 - we create new company data - key in company name then directory.
• Step 2 - at UBS interface - key in user, password then date.
• Step 3 - update new company profile - key in company name , closira  date, and accounting period.
• Step 4 - add 8 new Chart of Account ( Ledger ), for example account no: 1000/00, a/c description: Capital, Account Type :A, and don't for gate Special a/c : PA(profit a/c) for Retained earning a/c description.  
• Step 5 - Enter 7 new Batches (Journal) - for example: key in - no:1, type: credit, titles: Sales Journal-Jan08, Period:1 (1 stand for January).

Third class.

We continue learn Lesson 1 using UBS. 1st and 2nd step are same with we learn 2nd class.

• Step 3 - Clear file. go to  -> Houskipping ->click Clear file ->chose no.2 : clear only transection.
• Step 4 - Check the availability of chart"Chart of Account" and "Batches or Journals".
• Step 5 - Entering business transection using "Add Entry" . Go to Transection -> click transection file mantainance -> click Add button to use Add Entry. Eg; key in at batch no : 5 ( no.5  refer to Cash Book (Bank) journal, Period : 1 (refer to Jan), Date : 01/01/08, A/c no : 1000/000 (refer to Capital Chart) Capital will apper on top of Desp, Desp. :key in opeposite a/c desp, which is  Bnak a/c(Debit), Amount :50,000 (key in in credit side, -> click Save Button.

Regarding UBS project 

For our first step, we went to the FACULTY OF BUSINESS MANAGEMENT AND PROFESSIONAL STUDIES [FBMP] Deans Office at Level 10 to get the Student Confirmation Letter which is Ressearch Form or Project Form, the permission letter is important to help us find the data from the company that we choose. That letter had been processed for 3 days.

Our fist company we find  is Faridah Maju Enterprise

We already meet the employees of this company but they said we must make an appointment to see the Manager. Unfortunately on the day we went to the company, their manager is not around so we have to find another day to make an appointment again or wait for the company to call us. We hope they will call us and give a good story because with what Mr.Afendi told us, our senior had made a record where 22 company had reject their permission to ask for the data. We hope we are not the next record. Amin.

Fourth Class 


We still continue with lesson for the past class. This time we learned how to backup and restore our account. Sir Afendi always remind us about our project and complete our assignment which is this blog! :)
