This help topic describes the options in the form. If you require other introductory information, please refer to:

• How to...

Specify the date of the transaction.

Tip: Tap and hold to set the date to the current date.

This is displayed if Make Recurring has been selected from the  menu. Specify the interval between recurring transactions.

Choose an account to link the transaction to. For product sales, choose an appropriate bank account or customer account.

The transaction type defines whether money moves in or out of the account. The text displayed depends on the account selected in the first account.

Specify a description, such as the invoice number.

EasyBooks can automatically generate invoice numbers, and can automatically increase the number for each new transaction. If, for example, you enter INV-123-S, EasyBooks determines the next available number (e.g. INV-124-S) and inserts it into Invoice Number.

Do not use digits in Invoice Number if you prefer this feature not to be used.

Choose a product.

Set the quantity of product being sold.

For sales the price each is filled in automatically using information contained in the product details. Volume discount pricing can be applied by setting a range of prices for different quantities. Setting the Quantity field will recalculate Price Each but you can override this amount if you need to.

For purchases of stock, set the cost per item or the total cost in the Amount field. EasyBooks keeps track of the average cost per unit and uses this amount to devalue the stock when you later enter sales.

Enter the value of the transaction.

Tip: Tap and hold to choose whether the value is inclusive or exclusive of VAT (alternatively tap   , followed by Show Excl-VAT or Show Incl-VAT).

Specify the VAT rate. The field to the right displays the VAT content and the percentage rate. It is possible to enter the value of the VAT directly into the field, and EasyBooks will show you the percentage rate.

This is available only if the business is registered for VAT, as specified in the Business Settings screen.

Tip: Tap and hold to set the standard VAT rate.

Optionally, you can enter details of the transaction. The details will appear as a line item on any PDF you generate.

Adds a new line item (for example, to create separate line items on any PDF you generate from the transaction).

Note: You can delete a line item by setting Amount to zero, or by swiping from right to left and tapping Remove split.

Creates a new transaction by duplicating the transaction that you have opened. This provides a fast method to create a new transaction if it is similar to an existing one.

Allows you to set up a recurring transaction. Tap Repeat to specify the period between transactions (such as every month). Each transaction generated will be a clone of the first (except the date).

Sets whether the Amount is inclusive or exclusive of VAT.

The default setting is determined by Amount Entry in the Settings screen.
