7. Manual Accounting
Two Ways to Keep Accounting
The LCC allows the user to keep track of film in two different ways: manual and automatic accounting
The total footage for each roll can be entered into the LCC at the end of the day. The LCC will subtract the used footage from the Available Raw Stcok log and post the correct amounts in the Exposed Film log. This is called Manual Accounting. Alternatively, the LCC can be connected to a camera and record camera reports automatically. This is called Automatic Accounting.

Manual Accounting
Received film is entered into the Received Raw Stock log. At the end of the day the good, no good and waste footages from the paper camera reports are entered into the Add Roll dialog. This will create a camera roll for each paper camera report, subtract the used footage from the Available Raw Stcok log and post them in the Exposed Film log.
With this method the LCC can accurately keep track of all raw stock, exposed film and short ends. It also allows the user to see how much film is left for each stock, and to print out Daily Film Reports, listing all the footage used in a concise form.
