Step 1 > 2 > 3 > 4 > 5


If you haven't already read the Purchases Overview, see Completing the purchase for more information.

The actual fields that appear at the bottom of the Purchases window differ, depending upon the purchase layout you've selected. Some of the fields may be filled in automatically if you selected default entries in the supplier's card file. All the following fields are optional; complete only those that apply to the purchase you're entering:

    • Comment

    • Deliver Via

    • Promised Date

    • Carriage

    • Journal Memo

    • Paid Today

    • Already Printed or Sent

To add, edit or delete menu options in the Select From Lists for the Comments or Deliver Via fields, see To add or edit Purchases Information or To delete Purchases Information.

To changeVAT amounts

  1. Click the zoom arrow next to the VAT field to open the VAT Information window.
  2. Enter the new VAT amounts in the VAT column.
  3. Click OK. The total VAT amount displayed in the VAT field will change to reflect the change you made.

Warning: Tax amounts change automatically

The amount in the VAT field will change whenever you change an amount in the line item area or the Carriage field, regardless of whether you've changed the VAT amount manually. If you change a transaction's information after manually changing its VAT amount, be sure to review the amount in the VAT field again to ensure that the amount is still the amount you want.

If, at a later time, you realise the original VAT amount was correct, open the VAT Information window again and click the Recalculate button. The VAT amount will be restored to an amount that's based on theVAT codes assigned to the transaction.
