Enter the account code of the customer you have invoiced. If you do not know the code, use the Finder button to create a new code or to display a list of existing customers and then select the one you want.
If you know what a customerÆs code starts with, for example the letter æGÆ, enter G and choose the Finder button. The Finder automatically highlights for you the first account code beginning with the letter (or letters) you entered.
When you have entered a valid code, the screen displays the name of the account in the box at the top of the screen and also enters for you default answers for the nominal account code posting and VAT rate to be applied.
If you enter a code that is not recognised by the program, or part of a code, this invokes the Finder, which displays a list of accounts for you to select another account, or you can create a new one by choosing the New button. (If you use the New function, the program displays a box for entry of the accountÆs details.)

The current system date is entered for you automatically, change this to the invoice date if it is different. Use the Calendar button to select a date if necessary.
If you have lots of invoices to enter, all with the same date, use the Change Program Date option to set the system date to the date you require.

If you want, you can enter a reference or number to help you to trace the invoice easily. This is the reference that appears on your reports.

Enter an additional reference here if required.

This box is used to identify the nominal ledger account code to which the sales value (net) of this invoice entry is to be posted. The customerÆs default nominal code will be entered automatically for you. Change this if necessary, by entering the code directly, or use the Finder to search and select the code you need.
If you enter a code that is not recognised by the program, the Finder is invoked and you can either select another account or create a new one by choosing the New button.
You can use the Criteria button on the Finder to show only income accounts on this Finder List.

Enter a department code if you want to assign this transaction to a specific department. The department code that you entered as this customerÆs default will be entered for you automatically.

You can enter any text of up to 60 characters to identify the invoice entry.

In this box you will normally enter the net amount of the invoice up to 99,999,999.
Alternatively, you can enter the gross amount (including VAT) and then click Calc Net. The system then splits this value and places the net amount here and the VAT amount in the Tax box automatically. The VAT is calculated using the tax code in the Tc (Tax Code) box.
Note: You can access the euro calculator from this text box by pressing F5.

The default tax code for this customer is entered for you automatically. If you wish you can enter any of the other tax codes defined in your VAT rate table.

This box displays the amount of VAT calculated, by applying the tax code entered (Tc) to the net amount shown in the Net box. You can change the amount shown at this point, if necessary.
