1)To move EasyForYou to a new computer (Top)
1) On the old computer, go to menu Tools->Update software
2) Download and install the trial version of EasyForYou on the new PC. Then encode and print a fictitious invoice (if required click button CD-KEY to receive your activation number).
3) Restart the new PC, but not to start the trial version!
4) Delete the temporary files from your navigator. (very important)
5) Copy all the files from the folder EasyForYou (in general in c:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\EasyNet\Easy For You (To locate the folder, see the menu Help->Folder)) of the old PC and paste and replace on the new PC in the folder EasyForYou (in general in c:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\EasyNet\Easy For You (To locate the folder, see the menu Help->Folder))
!!! never install EasyForYou in the "C:\Program Files (x86)" folder or in "C:\Program Files"
(These folders are too restrictive and some features of EasyForYou are blocked)
6) On the new PC, please update EasyForYou again (Utilities menu->Update)
!!! -> Windows 10,8,7, Vista, XP
- 2) To add or modify the products quantities in your inventory (Top)
(Necessary modules: EFYSTOCK)
To add or modify the products quantities in your inventory, To modify the products quantities in your inventory, create a supplier Invoice or inventory document:
1) Click the button "Purchase" in the toolbar.
2) Click the tab "Purchase" or "Inventory".
3) Top left, type "REG" like supplier (REG = supplier Code for the inventory).
4) Click the button "+" in the toolbar to add a new document.
5) If the product exist already, in the body of the document, simply select the product with the search button and update the quantity to be returned in stock (Use negative quantities to reduce the stock).
6) If the product does not exist, type the new Code in the body of the document, then type "Enter" and allow to "add the new record". In the document input the quantity to be entered in stock.
Note 1: Outgoing stock automatically accounted for by either the sales invoices, receipt, picking ticket or cash-register. Note 2: Inventory and products valuation can be accessed from the menu List->Products (check inventory) then press button "OK".
- 3) To create a backup (Top)
(Backup on Dropbox,OneDrive or Google drive -> FAQ 39)
Preferably DO NOT use the C:\Temp folder for backups (see menu File->Users).
All the data from your software are in the file c:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\EasyNet\Easy For You (To locate the folder, see the menu Help->Folder)\easywin.mdb
To create a backup
"Easyforyou" automatically generates a daily backup in the specified folder in File>Users->Folder for your backup.
By default, the software generates your backup in the folder C:\Temp, but it is preferable to choose a shared folder on another computer as your destination folder.
The backup cycle is one week under the format easywin_X.mdb, X being the day of the week (1=Saturday). A backup is generated as well in the same place when updates of the version of your software Are executed in a file of this kind easywin_5update121719.mdb for the data and a file of this kind for the software: easywin030881142100.exe.
It is suggested that you make a copy on CDROM of the complete folder where you installed your “Easy For You” software from time to time.
To make a free backup on a remote server (in the clouds), you can use https://drive.google.com (15 Gb of free space).
Then in Easyforyou in the menu File->Users->Folder for your backup, you give the path of your local GoogleDrive (eg C:\googleDrive\Easyforyou).
This is the best way to make a backup.
Restoring a backup
If you would like to restore a backup, rename the file (generally in c:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\EasyNet\Easy For You (To locate the folder, see the menu Help->Folder)) easywin.mbd to easywinOLD.mbd
Then recopy the most recent backup in C:\Temp\easywin_X.mdb (X= # from 1 to 7 for the day of the week) into the program file (usually c:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\EasyNet\Easy For You (To locate the folder, see the menu Help->Folder)) and rename it easywin.mdb
If the restored backup is not the same level as your latest version of the software, go to the downloading page of our Website and generate an update of the software.
If in doubt or in the event of a problem, take out a maintenance contract (see EFYHELPDESK) and contact our maintenance service or Online help. EFYHELPDESK
!!! -> Windows 8, 7, Vista
- 4)Is it possible to correct or erase a document that is closed? (Top)
(Necessary modules: EFYSTOCK,EFYPAIMENT)

If you would like to reuse the document number, archive one document at a time and click onto YES to the question :Automatically recuperate the document number? (Note: This operation will erase the document and the products will NOT be added back into your stock) (See price list->module: EYFARC) NOTE: This operation is irreversible!
3) Edit and correct directly in the EasyWin.MDB database with the Program Access (See Price List->module: EFYMDBACCESS)
- 5)How do you begin an Invoice with #X?
I have saved and sent out invoices and I would like to start with an Invoice number that follows in sequence with the last Invoice. (Top)
(Necessary modules: EFYDATA)
Easy For You bases itself on your PC's internal clock to generate the first document of the new year.
For example, December 31st, 2014, your last invoice is FT120140003453. On January 1st, 2015, Easy For You will generate the invoice FT120150000001.
(Necessary module:EFYDATA)
After generating the first invoice, if you find that the new number is not convenient, you may change it with a right click on the document number
If you would like to create invoices from the preceding year during the new year, you can insert these documents and right click on the document number to change the year and number. See also: Tools Menu> Insert document-> Delete all the lines
- 6)In terms of the functionality's currently present, which ones will disappear within a month (depending on the frequency of use)? (Top)

- 8)Create your setup CD-ROM (Top)
Download easyforyou.exe and copy it to a CD-ROM
- 9)How do you install the software in a network ? (Top)
(Necessary modules: EFYNET2, 5...)
The installation of the software in network can be done via the classical method of simple sharing of a folder for several users (also possible on a Nas)
In this case, see here, below, point 1)
BUT! If you have Windows 10 (or higher) and some computer skills, we strongly recommend that you use the multi-session remote desktop method (without interrupting existing sessions).
It is with this system that you will get the best performance for working simultaneously with multiple people from multiple locations in EasyforYou.
And this is also how you will have the best level of security because you will not have any data that passes on the Internet and your database remains on your main computer.
Make a BACKUP and see the video and patch below for setting Windows in multi-session mode (this procedure is not our responsibility).
Following the installation of Windows multi-session video ...
How to install EasyForYou for the other user(s)
(Assuming your software is already installed in your main session, for example with the user "ADMIN" on your desktop computer)
a) In the Windows session of your main computer (that of your office), connected with the main user "ADMIN", add a new (or several) user with password (for example "Shop1, Shop2, etc ..." )
b) Give read and write permissions for new users "Shop1, 2, 3 ... etc) at the parent folder (EasyNet) where EasyWin.exe is located.
(Usually EasyForYou is in this default folder: C:\Users\ADMIN\AppData\Roaming\EasyNet\Easy For You) (see the exact path in the properties of your EasyForYou shortcuts)
c) On another PC, connect to the main office (desktop) remotely as a "Shop1" user, then download and install a demo version of EasyForYou in the "Shop1" session.
d) Always, on the other PC, following the installation of the demo, simply change the shortcut on the desktop:
Change the path of the shortcut :
C:\Users\Shop1\AppData\Roaming\EasyNet\Easy For You
And replace with:
C:\Users\ADMIN\AppData\Roaming\EasyNet\Easy For You
(ADMIN or the main user name of the desktop computer)
e) As soon as EasyForYou works and you are sure to see your invoices, sales orders and data of the pc of your main office, for security, delete the whole folder: C:\Users\Shop1\AppData\Roaming\EasyNet\Easy For You
f) Repeat as many times as necessary for Shop2, Shop3 etc ...

- 12)DECREASING PRICE SCALE for automatic calculation of product sales prices
(Top)
(Necessary modules: EFYCATEGORY,EFYPRICEPQ)
*Specification of decreasing price scale by quantities:
Create a Category in Category Management
Select your category in product management under the WEB tab (bottom right)
Mark the box “decreasing price scale” under the WEB tab
(In the price encoding area of the products file)
Fill in the 5 decreasing price scales by using the 1st price as the highest one.
Fill in the 4 “By quantity” fields, (in the price encoding area on the right).
For a value, give a QUANTITY of products from which the price should decrease from price 1 to price 2 and so forth
*Specifications of the decreasing price scale in terms of the CATEGORY! (NOTE: priority of quantity over price):
In the management of categories, create a category, choose the type “Price”, and add a price for a quantity of products from … to…
Add as many brackets of prices or margins (choose the “Type” price or profit margin in comparison to price 1) for quantities of…to… as you like.
In products management, select your category under the WEB tab (bottom right).
Note: The type “Category Margin” or “Category Discount” allow you to calculate the profit margin or discount on price 1 of the products depending on the customer category.
For example:
In customer management for customer ACBTEST in the category zone (bottom right) enter a category code of your choice; for example X.
In the management of categories, create a new category, for example CARS and choose the type “Category discount”, fill in the description and save. Click the + button to add a category of customers for this category of products “CARS”.
In the category, type X (your customer category) and 30 for the discount.
In product management, create a new product, for example “CHEVROLET” and in the file WEB, fill in its category with “CAR”.
From now on, in document management, when you make an offer or invoice for the product “CHEVROLET” for Mr ABCTEST, he belongs to the customer category X who have the right to a 30% discount, therefore the calculated sales price is price 1 in the products file, less the 30% discount.
- 13)Product management by serial numbers (Top)
(Necessary modules: EFYSERIAL,EFYADVSEARCH)
Encoding serial numbers:
Serial numbers may be encoded in sales or purchases.
To encode a product serial number, click on the body of the document to enter the edit mode in the document management (purchases and/or sales), then point the cursor of the mouse on the product Code, then click the right button.
In the popup menu, choose “serial number” to open the serial number encoding window.
These serial numbers can be encoded with the help of a bar code scanner that interfaces with the keyboard (parameterise a CR-LF for automatic entry) or manually.
When encoding manually, the second field allows for the entry of a “series” of serial numbers that follow each other.
Document search (sale or purchase) by serial number:
To conduct a search via a serial number, type manually (or with the help of a bar code scanner) the serial number you wish to find in the document management in the search field “customers-suppliers” at the top left WITHOUT hitting the enter or tab key. Click on the RIGHT on the search button (binoculars) of the field. A popup menu will appear. Choose “serial number3
If a document with this serial number exists, it will automatically appear and a popup will indicate the product Code for the serial number.
Automatic encoding via serial numbers (ONLY FOR SALES):
In the documents grid, double-click on the existing document number in which you would like to directly add products via their serial numbers (for this to function, the serial number sought must have already been entered in one of the “PURCHASE” documents.)
In the “Serial Number” field (to be found in the toolbar, second field on the right of the “send by e-mail” button) enter or scan the serial number. If this serial number exists in the purchases, the product Code will be found and a line will automatically be added at the end of the current document (the serial number is also saved for this sale and may thereafter be found via a search (see above)
IMPORTANT: when you copy a document towards another document, the serial numbers automatically follow onto the new document.
For coding serial numbers, you can choose which field the cursor should stop.
Add a line with the variable in ALL.INI file:
SerialEnterIndex = 0
Possible values:
0 = After ENTER, move the cursor to the input of the next serial number.
1 = The cursor moves to the next serial number after press ENTER after the "Number" field.
2 = The cursor moves to the next serial number after press ENTER after the "Packed" field.
3 = The cursor moves to the next serial number after press ENTER after the "Expiration" field.
- 14)Encoding hourly fees (Top)
(Necessary modules: EFYDATA)
To encode hourly fees:
In product management, create a product for the invoicing of fees:
Example:
Code: FEES
Description: hourly fees
When encoding the description in the body of the document, use the following syntax:
FEES hourly fees 14h45->18h30 + eventual description
It is important to follow this hourly format: 14h45->18h30, always 2 numbers followed by a letter then followed by 2 numbers the minus sign and the greater sign, then once again 2 numbers followed by a letter followed by 2 numbers
XXhXX->XXhXX
In this case, when the description is validated, the software will calculate the time elapsed between the two times given:
Example: 14h45->18h30 = 3 hours 45 minutes which calculates automatically 3, 75 units
- 15)Export and import the products file (MDB) (Top)
(Necessary modules: EFYPRODIMPEXP)
Export the products in a database:
In EasyForYou, go to menu Tools->Export products.
EasyForYou will generates a file with MsAccess format (C:\Temp\ArtEFY.mdb) which contains the whole of the products present in EasyForYou.Importation of a new database:

For this, create a C:\.....\Easy for you\import\shift-f2.txt empty file.
(This file is automatically deleted each time the import is done)
- If you need the products information for a external e-commerce in TXT or CSV format. Call the ExportCSV.exe from the Windows sheduller to export automatically the Products.csv or products.txt
(Use the products.ini generated at the first start from ExportCSV.exe to specify the fields you want to export and the file extension you want - CSV or TXT)
- You can create customers.SQL or customers.SQU files if you want to import or update more than one customer in one single file.
- You can call the the easyforyouftp.exe as a shedulled task from a batch to upload your products informations or download automatically your order and new customers files from you external e-commerce.
- 31)Windows Vista (Top)
So that Windows functions work correctly:
To circumvent the many BUG of “Copy-Paste” of Windows, erase beforehand the temporary files of the Internet Explorer (In the Internet Options).
And especially, decontaminate the function UAC (User Account Control).
Warning: make a backup from all your files BEFORE decontaminating UAC
Open up Control Panel, and type in user account into the search box..
You'll see the link for "Turn User Account Control (UAC) on or off". Click it.
Uncheck the box "Use User Account (UAC) to help..." , and reboot your computer.
You should be done with obnoxious prompts!
Note: Disabling UAC will lead to a less secure system, so be warned.

- 40) Rounding management for printing amounts including VAT
(Top)
(Necessary modules: EFYCURRENCIES)
Some are VAT inclusive, are difficult to obtain (magical prizes) in the documents.
For instance:
100.00 EUR including VAT (21%) = 82.64 EUR excluding VAT
(but 82.64 excluding VAT + 21% VAT = 99.99 EUR including VAT)
To solve this problem, click the Files->Currencies menu and change:
Number of decimals for unit prices: 4
Number of decimals for totals: 4
(leave 2 decimals for printing)
Example with 4 decimals (displays 2 decimals when printing documents):
100.00 EUR including VAT (21%) = 82.6462 EUR excluding VAT
(So 82,6462 excluding VAT + 21% VAT = 100.00 EUR VAT included)
