I’ve created a sales invoice with eight items totalling £310 and allocated it to a sales account (4908) .
In my P&L its has been allocated £245 to account 4908 and £65 to account 4000 General Sales.
What is interesting is (1) the Client Profile has be modified to 4908 and (2) there is not a line item on the invoice for £65. The whole £310 should have been posted to 4908.
This is the second time this has happened, first time i thought i may have made and error, definitely didn’t the second.
I know I can Journal from 400 to 4098, the whole point of creating the new code was to avoid secondary transactions.
Thanks @FaradayKeynes , that may solve the binning to correct account , but, however does not explain how/why its happened. Maybe @QFMathhew can assist?
I would suspect it could be down to what @FaradayKeynes mentioned - the inventory items being set to 4000.
As long as the invoice isn’t locked however, you can edit it from the invoice itself. The nominal code set against the client is just the default, and can be overridden on the invoice itself.
It was indeed, and thanks to the prompt from Faraday Keynes I have been able to streamline my invoicing. I hadn’t looked at the Sales inventory feature before. You just keep learning!
Most grateful to you both for replying at the weekend.
