Omnis Mus System Components (Click to Expand)
- Junior problems use only the general journal and general ledger.
- Senior problems display the five-journal system. Senior problems use the Periodic method of determining the cost of goods sold.
- Advanced Problems also display the five-journal system, but use the Perpetual method of determining the cost of goods sold. The inventory file is displayed and is updated by both the orders form and the purchase form. Advanced problems also display the SQL form, which allows one to process SQL statements against the database.
The General Journal and General Ledger are used in all problems.
