Transfer
If you are entering details of a transfer between bank accounts enter here the code for the account
into
which funds have been transferred. To see a list of bank accounts either press the
F7
key when you are at
this box or point-and-click on the
Transfer
icon. Highlight the appropriate account then
Select
it and move
on.
A/C Code
If the payment made is a Ledger Cheque enter the
Supplier Code
here. Otherwise leave this box blank. A
ledger cheque (the term can include payments made by direct debit, standing order etc.) is a payment to a
Supplier for whom you maintain an account in the Purchase Ledger. A non-Ledger Payment is one made to
someone with whom you do not run an account, (e.g. for VAT and tax returns, employees in the case of
wages, transfers between bank accounts etc.) You may be more familiar with the terms Creditors Payments
for ledger cheques and Ledger Card for Purchase Ledger Account.
To see a list of Suppliers either point-and-click at the icon, or (provided the cursor is in the box) press
F7
. At
the screen entitled
Lookup - Suppliers
you can use any of the conventional means of scrolling through a
list. However, the system places the cursor in the box entitled
-Search-
which is towards the bottom
right-hand corner of the display. By now typing one or more letters of a Supplier’s Name you can
quickly
identify the correct account and the more letters you use the closer you will get to your target. Having
identified the correct A/C Code,
Select
it (double click has the same effect) and move on.
Note:
Lookup - Suppliers
is displayed in either
Name
or
Code
order. To change the order
point-and-click at the button marked
Sort,
then select the order required.
When a Supplier Code is entered the outstanding balance for that supplier is displayed in ‘Ledger Balance’.
Payee
You can type up to 40 characters of text to describe the transaction you are entering, e.g. employees names
in the case of wages. If the transaction is either a Regular Payment or is to a Purchase Ledger A/C then the
relevant name or details will automatically display in this box. When ready, move on.
Note: The Abbreviations feature can be used to save typing and to standardise the input of text, e.g.
employees names (for wages), Revenue Commissioners or Collector General (for tax payments) etc.
Detail
This box, which you may skip if you do not wish to use it, allows you to further describe the transaction you
are entering and you may type in whatever you choose (maximum 40 characters). The drop-down list of
Abbreviations is the same one that appears with the Payee box above.
Total
Enter the total amount of the payment. For non-Purchase Ledger payments the total of all the amounts
entered in the Analysis Categories (see below) must equal this figure.
Discount
Enter the amount of any discount you are receiving from the Supplier you are paying. Otherwise ignore it
and move on. This box only applies to Purchase Ledger payments.
Ledger
When the payment being made is to a Supplier’s A/C then the amount you entered as Total will be copied
into this box
automatically
. Once the transaction has been Saved, this figure will be used to update the
Purchase Ledger A/C for that Supplier.
Ledger Balance
When creating a Cheques Journal Entry, when an Account Code is entered on the outstanding balance for
that supplier is displayed in Ledger Balance. This is for information only so that you can see what is owed.
