About Purchase Receipts and Credits

 

Purchase Receipts are used to record the actual receipt of goods and services from your vendors.  Sometimes referred to as debit memos or bills, these receipts can be restricted to approved purchase orders if desired (see Setup Accounts Payable section).  Purchase Receipts can be entered for purchases of inventory items, or general ledger accounts (e.g. expenses).  For returns or mistakes, credits can be entered to reverse the receipt transactions.  Purchase Receipts are paid by creating Disbursement transactions, which can be done for all vendors at once, with the Pay Bills feature.

Q & A - Purchase Receipts

 

Q01.What should I do if I have already ordered items from my vendors, and have paid with a credit card, but do not want to show that I have received inventory yet?
A01.Make a purchase credit and select the Use GL Accounts option.  Then select the GL Account of your credit card and type in the amount you have paid to that vendor.  Then you have the credit on your account with that vendor in ManageMore.  Once the items arrive, you can create a purchase receipt for it, then when creating the disbursement, select both the receipt and credit, and they should zero each other out.

 

Q02.I don't see my question here.  Where else can I get information?
