The General Accounting and Budgeting :
System primarily handles various accounting entries and generates all accounting reports, including journals, ledgers, assistant professors' records, and general budget reports, as well as final accounting results. To perform these tasks, the system includes a diverse set of functions.
Firstly: System Objectives
1. Definition of the accounting directory used by the system.
2. Input of the budget plan.
3. Input of various accounting entries and ensuring their balance before saving them to storage media.
4. Temporary saving of unbalanced accounting entries until they are balanced by the user.
5. Ability to modify saved accounting entries on storage media.
6. Issuance of all system journals and audit balances as follows:
- General daily monthly journal
- Assistant daily journal
- Assistant professor daily journal
- General monthly professor
- Monthly sub-audit balance
- Monthly general audit balance
7. Extraction of all reports related to budgeting and planning.
It is noted that this system is characterized by several important features:
- Ability to define the accounting directory for the user, thus allowing the addition of any sub-directory for any new resource, client, or source.
- Classification of accounts into general and analytical, enabling numerous accounts with close correlation between analytical accounts and their general and personal accounts.
- Ability to retain information about personal accounts such as invoice numbers, checks, or other sources.
- The system offers multiple investigation capabilities at the entry level and comparison of totals.
- Ability to verify the balance of entries and temporarily retain unbalanced entries, saving time by re-entering their data again.
Secondly: Functional Description of the System
The input phase of the system includes:
1. Fixed inputs such as the accounting directory and the budget plan.
2. Variable inputs which are the daily entries.

Documents required for the system:
- Accounting directory for accounts and contents of budget reports.
- Contents of the budget plan.
- Manual accounting entries that have been input.
Thirdly: Relational Description of Data Content
