Just like the denominations we did before, yet another one, let's hope it's the last one. Just that this time we don't divide with 10, 100 or 1000000000 (yup, that happened too), this time we divide with 13000000, because that's the eyeballed rate of the last inflationary diner against one Avram's dinar.

The trick is the same, we know it all just like we did before. The main reason why we didn't do it right away is that new dinar was in circulation in parallel with the old one for a month and a bit, until the latter washed out of the system. This caused a cascade of other quirks in the apps - all the bank accounts remained the same, except the new dinars accounts had the first digit replaced with some other, which was once reserved for, who'd remember, Slovenia or Macedonia, so the firms had two accounts, and what went into the ledgers and how, that nobody remembers anymore, must have been a chaos.

This is the date on SECI24А.PRG (chop 24 analytics), and 4th of april on SECI24I.PRG - the first was for analytics (meaning buyers, suppliers, interest) and the other for the main ledger).

These I wrote for myselt; Sale had, of course, his own version. We differed in conception, which was okay, because he had the materials accounting as well, where care had to be taken of the materials prices and how will the consumed materials price be calculated. There were various methods, a fifo (always take the oldest acquired first), current average, monthly average, and each of the methods had its own paradoxes.

Mine was the ledger (with only two amount fields) and the merchandise warehousing, where the exit price was arbitrary, and the differences were simply added, the so-called nivelation (leveling) would be added to the value, done. I had it easier.
