When should I use the housekeeping function? - with QuickVid

The housekeeping function removes unused sections from the accounts.

Use the function when:

• A section not found error message occurs in the accounts
• A rounding difference banner displays at the top of the accounts, but there is no rounding difference 
• If a remove and replace is ineffective. Click here for guidance on when to use the remove and replace function.

Note: It is advisable to take a backup of the Caseware file prior to running the housekeeping function.

1. The Housekeeping function is located beneath the Tools tab in the toolbar. 

2. A list of unused sections will display in a dialog similar to the one below. Tick the sections you wish to remove and select OK.

3. If you are using the housekeeping function after running a remove and replace, you will first need to switch off the note/statement in the Accounts Preparation Table.

4. Run the housekeeping function and tick the relevant note/statement to remove it.

5. Once complete, switch the note/statement back on in the Accounts Preparation Table.

6. Return to the accounts and check for updates by clicking on the KL Update icon beneath the Tools tab.

7. Accept the update for the removed note/financial statement and this will rebuild into the accounts.
