There are two main methods of entering sales. You can link the sale to a customer account or to your bank account.

  • You need to send your customer an invoice.
  • Your customer will pay you at a later date.

To enter a new sale using a customer account, refer to How to...(Customers).

  3. Set Transaction Type to In (Received), set Account 2 to the appropriate income account and complete all other details.

Enter a new payment

There are two main methods of entering purchases. You can link the purchase to a supplier account or to your bank account. Using supplier accounts requires you to enter two transactions, one for the purchase invoice and one for the payment to your supplier. You may need to use supplier accounts if you receive an invoice from your supplier that you pay at a later date.

To enter a new purchase using a supplier account, refer to How to...(Suppliers).

To enter a single transaction for the purchase:

  1. In the Accounts screen, tap the account you are paying money from (normally your credit card, bank account or petty cash account).
