Payment Term Sales A/C

A Sales Account will be credited whenever you sell an Item, allowing you to record the levels of sales of different types of Items in the Nominal Ledger.

When you sell an Item (i.e. whenever you specify an Item in a row in an Invoice, Order, Quotation or other sales transaction), one option available is to have the Sales Account determined by the Payment Term that you use in the transaction. If you need to use this option, use this setting to specify exactly when the Payment Term will supply Sales Accounts.

To work with this setting, first ensure you are in the Sales Ledger and then click the [Settings] button in the Navigation Centre or use the Ctrl-S/⌘-S keyboard shortcut. Double-click 'Payment Term Sales A/C' in the resulting list. The 'Payment Term Sales A/C: Inspect' window opens:

Select an option to specify when the Sales Account will be taken from the Payment Term in a sales transaction, as follows:
  1. If you select the Use always option in this setting, the Sales Account will be taken from the Payment Term.

  2. If the Customer has a Price List and there is a record in the Price register for the Item/Price List/Customer combination or in the Quantity Dependent Prices setting for the Item/Price List combination (depending on the Type of the Price List), the Sales Account will be taken from that Price or Quantity Dependent Price record.

  3. If you have specified a Sales Account for the Location in the Location Accounts setting in the Stock module, that Sales Account will be used.

  4. The Sales Account will be taken from the Item record itself.

  5. If you select the Use if no Account on Item option in this setting, the Sales Account will be taken from the Payment Term.

  6. The Sales Account will be taken from the Item Group to which the Item belongs.

  7. The Sales Account on the 'Sales' card of the Account Usage S/L setting will be used.
If you choose the Don't use option, Sales Accounts will never be taken from Payment Terms.

When finished, click the [Save] button in the Button Bar to save the changes. To close the window without saving changes, click the close box.
