Data backup
The management of the “Security Copies” (from the main menu select “Settings” + “Particulars”), create a data backup in the folder \ArproW\Condivisa\Temp, on the pc server: several files are generated, one for each database of the program, with the extension (.bak).
All of these files must be copied to an external device to safeguard your data. The backup operation is recommended daily and in different devices, which must also be protected for reasons of privacy.

How to start
The preliminaries of the use of the program, after being enabled, are the following:

  • configuration of accounting parameters (from main menu select “Accounting” + “Defining Accounting Constraints”, … + “Tax Registers”, … + “Accounts Plan”, … + “Accounting Causals”) (*);
  • Keep in mind. These procedures are necessary only if you manage company accounts, which are normally managed by the CPA;
  • insertion of master data of customers, suppliers, types of payments, …;
  • configuration of bank parameters (from the main menu select “Bank” + “Bank Configuration”), it is however optional;
  • insertion of warehouse items, and inventory quantities, if managed by the company;
    set up the print forms to be used (sale invoices, etc.).

Once these initial phases are completed, you can start using @/Arpro®, exploiting all the peculiarities of the application.

(*) @/Arpro® foresees the presence of at least two accounting years: the current and the previous one. This is also very important for automatic accounting calculations: some taxes are calculated based on the corresponding values of the previous year. Therefore, it is the duty of the user, in the initial phase only, to manually enter the accounting values of the previous year.

The configuration of accounting and all these aspects are only necessary if the accounting management is not managed by the accountant.
