The VSS QM Books programs are designed around the basic accounting outline of the VFW organization. This type of accounting is known as fund accounting. It ensures that required financial reports are generated in the format set forth by your organization and can be quickly generated.

Understanding fund accounting, stated simply, is that all money received and or disbursed is designated for a specific purpose. i.e., sales made in the canteen are designated to the Post Canteen fund. Admission fees are designated to the Admission/Application fund and so forth. Generally speaking, all monies received and or disbursed, which are not specifically earmarked otherwise, would be credited or debited to the Post General fund. (A general operating fund for day-to-day operations).

All monies received by the organization can be deposited to one general bank account or held in several separate bank accounts. However, all monies owned by the organization must be designated a specific Fund regardless of the physical bank account they are held in.

It is not necessary to maintain numerous bank accounts in order to separate your monies into each separate fund. This separation can be done easily on paper to show the amounts maintained in each separate fund, while all monies are held in a single account. Transactions made can then be credited or debited to the appropriate fund when monies are moved to or from your bank account.

In addition to maintaining fund and bank balances, QM Pro software will also print numerous reports and worksheets along with maintaining your membership rosters. Click for User Guides and information on program installation & set up

If your VSS program expired, here is what you need to do:

1. Those of you who have been using the Disk version of the VSS program must go and download Revision 3 to correct the renewal notice that you will get and change the web address. Your old program will try to take you to the old website that Tom designed for renewals. You must come to the www.vfwmi.org/vssoftware.htm page to renew your software.

2.  Contact Rob Weiss at 517 485 9456, email vfwmi@vfwmi.org or the webmaster at vfwmi@att.org and let us know of your interest in renewing your software and the version of your computer operating system (i.e., Windows XP, Vista or Windows7).
