Purchase Invoice

From AutoCount Resource Center

Purchase Invoice

This is to create, edit or print Purchase Invoice.

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

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

Purchase Invoice will be posted to A/P Invoice Entry (and its related G/L accounts) immediately upon Save.
