I m probably missing someting simple but when a customer places a new Po with us (a small engineering company), how do I record the credit sale?
Currently I make out an invoice and keep it in draft form but even this doesnt get the credit sale recorded in the sales ledger. of course, once i mark the invoice as send the sales and VAT are correctly recorded in the sales, control debtor and VAT accounts respectively.
my problem is with a long term project a Po may come in from a customer but it may be 2 months until we have supplied the parts and be in a position to invoice for them. as such, i need to get this credit sale into the sales ledger without raising and marking as sent an Invoice… is it possible to do this somehow ?
Thanks
Gary
