If you are wanting more from your PcMars, check out the PcMars Plus.  This enhancement will add complete inventory tracking, enterprise allocation, field production tracking, and livestock production data.

A simple explanation of the PcMars Plus enhancement is it allows you to automatically increase/decrease inventory items (ie: corn, beans, hogs) when entering your cash transactions.  You then will be able to quickly assign your inventory a FMV and generate a net worth for any month.

 

PcMars Plus Additional Report Features

Enterprise Report Enhancements:  The PcMars Plus provides a simple tool to override “general” enterprise transaction allocations to corn, beans, hogs, etc. and easily generate cash enterprise reports.

Enterprise Analysis Report:  This report will show an accrued enterprise net by combining cash and inventory transactions.

 

Additional Comments

PcMars Plus is only for the cash version and simply tracks inventory for the net worth.  Your tax reports are still cash basis.

PcMars Plus is an enhancement to PcMars, so you can access all past PcMars data.  The additional features in PcMars Plus will simply be “grayed out” because they are not available in your prior PcMars data.  Additionally, PcMars Plus can convert your data from PcMars to PcMars Plus.
