Looking at my profit and loss report I noticed that the carriage account was only showing £12.60 looking further, all my purchases with a carriage charge that had correctly been categorised to the 5100 carriage account had for some reason changed to “General Purchase”?
I have now been through all my purchases and changed these back to the correct category, strange why this would do this? maybe something you should take a look at.
Looking at invoice #QF00083 you have several lines with one marked as “Carriage”, I see this is one you’ve recently corrected.
I had a look at the log and that line was originally saved as “General Purchase”. It’s possible you had the focus on the category dropdown and scrolled down the page, but instead changed the select option.
I’ve recreated new purchases similar to yours (i.e. one carriage line) without any problems.
When you’re keying in your invoice, at what point are you selecting the supplier? One thing that springs to mind here is when you select a supplier it will change the drop-down category selection to whatever that supplier default is set to.
If you select the supplier before keying in the lines you’ll be fine, but if you select the supplier last it will update the categories on the page to match the supplier default.
I just saved the following invoice and it came out as expected and in the order specified.
I have just entered a purchase and saved successfully with the carriage on the bottom line, when I then go back into purchases and view the invoice I have just created the carriage category has changed to General purchases!
Once I go back into it and change it back, re-save, it appears to save it correctly.
We’ve not changed the purchase entry screen for quite some time and I haven’t seen any other reports of this, which I would expect to if it was just defaulting everything to “General Purchases”.
I doubt it’s anything specific to the code 5100. I did notice you’re using IE 11 and I’ve been trying to replicate in Chrome. Let me test again in IE.
EDIT:
Tried in IE11 but couldn’t replicate. Here’s how I’m entering the invoice:
