When deciding which option to use keep in mind the following

  • Any transaction created in Action is the same transaction you will see in Accounting and it will always be attached to an Action.
  • Transactions created from Accounting do not necessarily have a tag back to the action (unless it is entered).
  • Some of the menu information is different (no need to show the Action if you are in the action).

The difference between Billing and Expenses

These are also known as  Receivables (Debtors) & Payables (Creditors)

  • To view transactions relating to your Debtors Transactions you would use your "Sales" menu bar.
  • To view transactions relating to your Payables Transactions you would use your "Purchases" menu bar.
  • Reporting (and Statement) Functions are available in Accounting > Reports > Sales or Purchase.

The Main Transaction screen

When creating a transaction through Sales and Purchase, you are brought to a screen which is common through each transaction (with subtle differences). 

We will refer to this as an "Invoice" but covers Sale and Purchase - Quote,Order,Invoice, Credit, Template

 

Once you have worked through your wizard whether within an Action or in Accounting, you will find yourself in this screen.
