Creditors

Creditor Receivals


Important

We have implemented a new receival look and feel.  It is been in selected stores for testing and has now been implemented at all sites.

New Features

  • Ability to sort grid by clicking on the headings
  • Ability to receive against multiple purchase orders and/or electronic invoices
  • Product image
  • Purchase Unit quantity column will only appear if a product on this receival has a purchase unit setup on it (like a like of shadecloth).  This make it less confusing for new users
  • Ability to edit the GST Amount if the value is not quite matching the paper invoice
  • Ability to park a recieval which is great for large receivals.  Giving you the ability to continue the next day if needed
  • Easier searching for a product

Please review this document for more information.


User Interface

  • If the Qty received doesnt match the Purchase Order Qty, set the font to RED so the user can see this quickly
  • A "Difference" column has been added which is the diff between the Qty On External Invoice and the actual quantity receipted

Park a receival

Use the new Receival Parking facility when you are loading in a large receival and may not have the time to finish in one day.  Just park what you have got up to, then the next day retrieve this document and continue from where you were.

To park a receival, just click on SHIFT + F11 - Park Receival

To retrieve a parked receival, select Load Parked Receival from the menu when you start up the receival window.

Receival Discrepancy Report

If doing an Electronic Receival (NOT against a Purchase Order), the report now shows the discrepancies against the Electronic Invoice 



Change Invoice or Credit Values

Can now alter a Creditor Invoice or Credit easily after the transaction has been done.  This is handy for those small amounts that may not match the Suppliers statement exactly.  

This is only to be used for small amounts

This process can be done by loading up the transaction in Creditor maintenance (F8 - Transactions, Invoices or Credits)

Press F10 - Update details, then the amount can be edited if required.




Creditor Batch Payment

Can alter Payment Type by double clicking on the Payment Type in grid, then select the required payment type.

This will be saved against the creditor so next time it will use this payment type.


Searching for a batch payment

You can easily find a batch payment in the creditor maintenance window by clicking on F8 - Transactions, B - Batch Payments.




Searching for Purchase Order in Creditor Maintenance

The system will now search for a purchase order by the Supplier, which makes it easier to search for "Chargeback" invoices. 

So now you can load up a Creditor in creditor maintenance, press F8 - Search, O - Orders

It will find all purchase orders whether this supplier was a Direct, Chargeback or Warehouse origin.



General Ledger

Xero Integration

Can now load journals into Xero.  Please contact us if you would like to get this facility implemented at your store.
