Account Usage S/L
You should use the Account Usage S/L setting to choose the default Accounts and VAT Codes that will be used as defaults in your Sales Ledger transactions (i.e. Invoices and Receipts). These defaults will be used in the absence of Accounts or VAT Codes being specified elsewhere (for example, for the Items, Item Groups, Customers or Customer Categories used in the transactions). Please click for complete descriptions of how Accounts and VAT Codes will be selected in
Invoices and
Receipts. The Accounts that you use here must exist in the
Account register, otherwise Standard ERP will not be able to create transactions.
If you have imported the sample Chart of Accounts supplied with Standard ERP, you will find that most of the fields in the Account Usage S/L setting contain suggested values. If you have modified this Chart of Accounts or have used your own, you must ensure that you replace these values with the correct Accounts.
! | The Accounts that you use in this setting must also exist in the Chart of Accounts. Otherwise, Standard ERP will not be able to create Transactions. You must either add the Accounts to the Chart of Accounts (i.e. to the Account register in the Nominal Ledger and System module), or use Accounts that already exist in the Chart of Accounts. |
