TASBooks - To create or add a new company

When you first install TASBooks, you must create your company or companies, depending on your licence. If you're already using TASBooks, you can create your companies using backups of your existing information. For example, if you receive a backup from your accountant, or if you're transferring your TASBooks software to a new computer.

Tip: If you want to, you can merge the data of two or more of your existing companies to create a consolidated company. Once you've done this, you can print management reports representing the group of companies as a whole. For more information about how to set up a consolidation company, please refer to article 34254.
