How do I…

A client never asks for a screen. They ask for an outcome: "how do I take an advance from a customer?", "how do I close the month?". Each area below lists its tasks as those questions. Every area also has a What posts page (where it posts to the accounts) and a Questions and messages page (short answers, then every refusal message with its cause and fix).
