Cash Purchase

From AutoCount Resource Center

Cash Purchase

This is to create, edit or print cash purchase.

Cash Purchase if freshly added (did not transfer from other document), OR transferred from Purchase Order or Request Quotation, will affect inventory movement (increase stock level).

Cash Purchase if transferred from Goods Received Note will NOT affect inventory movement, because the stock level was increased when that Goods Received Note is saved.

Cash Purchase will be posted to A/P Invoice Entry (look at the outstanding amount to indicate if it is fully paid), A/P Payment and G/L Cash Book Entry (for the amount paid), and its related G/L accounts immediately upon Save.
