Creating an Invoice:

 
Selecting Customer
 
When inserting a new invoice, before you can start adding line items, you'll first need to select the desired customer - this can be done by entering the Debtor Code or by using the handy Debtor Lookup Button
 
Once a customer is selected, all general information regarding the debtor, such as debtor code & postal/delivery address will automatically populate the window
 
You'll also have the option here to enter/modify the Document Number, Date and Reference, as well as the Delivery Code, Default Salesman, Order and Delivery Date and Order Number
 
Here you can also set the Settlement Discount Terms for the invoice, as well as any Notes pertaining to the document
Adding a Line Item
 
If your Win Acc Debtors Control and Stock Control modules are integrated, easily select the relevant Store, Stock Category & Stock Item
All necessary information (including pricing information) will automatically populate based on the information added in the Stock Control Module
 
If you're not integrating with the Stock Control Module, easily add the relevant Line Item Description and Pricing Information
Add a unit of sale, the product quantity & selling price and whether it's VAT Inclusive or Exclusive, and let the software automatically Calculate the Line Total
 
While the Default Salesman is set in the previous "Selecting Customer" window, and the Default VAT Rate set in the module's System Parameters, both these options, along with the Product Analysis Code are flexible and can be modified on-the-fly
 
Set the line item's Discount Type and Amount easily
 
Adding a Line Item
Extra Fields Tab
 
While Cost Price information will be automatically populated if integrating with the Stock Control Module, this amount is flexible and can be easily modified on the "Extra Fields" tab when Adding a Line Item
 
Besides Cost Price, this section also provides a space to add any additional Item References or Notes regarding the specific Line Item
 
Reviewing Line Items and
Adding Ad Hoc Payments
 
Review the Line Items and Document Totals quickly and easily for the selected Invoice
 
If any ad hoc or partial payments are made for a selected invoice, Payment Details can easily be captured here
If partial payments are entered, the outstanding balance will remain on account when posted
 
When the Invoice is complete, you can choose to export and print a Delivery Note, Proforma Invoice or Print & Post the selected invoice to the customer
Unposted Batch List:
 
Using Batch Invoicing
 
Batches are flexible, meaning that once a batch is posted, the invoice documents are captured, but the batch remains in your "unposted batches" list, should you wish to add additional invoices (or until the batch is manually closed)
 
This helps speed things up, as you won't have to re-create a new Batch Entry after each batch is posted
Highlight a batch within the batch list to easily identify whether the batch is Integrating with Stock, which Store it is integrated with, as well as whether or not to Update the Stock Ledger
 
Inserting a New Batch:
 
When Inserting New Batches, relevant information, such as User ID, Date and Batch Number will automatically be populated
This information is flexible, and can be modified on-the-fly if required
 
Enter a relevant Batch Description and choose whether you wish to Integrate with Stock and Update the Stock Ledger
When Integrating with Stock, you'll be required to select the relevant Store Code
(Store Codes & Details are managed within the Win Accounting Stock Control Module)
 
Invoice Document History Report
 
The Invoice Document History Report consolidates all posted Invoices, across your Accounts Receivable, allowing you to easily view and keep track of invoices:
 
 
This report provides valuable and concise data regarding posted invoices, including the relevant Debtor Code & Name, Invoice Date & Number, Order Date & Number, as well as the Document Reference and relevant Accounting Information
