Download new (Set of Books)
"starter" databases can be used to start a new "set of books".
Several starter files are shipped with NewViews.
Those database files can be found in the default NewViews installation sub directory starter_setups.
The default installation directory is c:/nv/starter_setups.
Below we have additional sample "starter" databases available for download.
All starter books contain generic financial reports, a trial balance, sample customer, vendor and sales accounts.
These books are targeted to accrual vs. cash basis accounting.
However if you prefer cash accounting simply hide the Accounts payable and receivable and don't post your invoices
to the vendor and customer accounts.
