Assigning numbers to transactions

Setup > Personalizing your company >Using the Preferences window > Assigning numbers to transactions

Keeping your company's financial records organized efficiently is a task that relies heavily on the numbers that are assigned to your transactions, such as checks, sales and purchases. If your company wishes to be careful about tracking transaction numbers, you can use MYOB AccountEdge's auto-numbering feature to keep your financial records in the proper order.

When you create a transaction in any of the windows listed below, the field that displays the transaction's number (for example, Check #) will display Auto # when the highlight rests on that field. This text indicates that the transaction will be automatically given an actual transaction number when it's recorded into the company file. If you wish, you can override the Auto # text by entering the number you want to be assigned to the transaction.

The windows in which auto-numbering is used include:

  • Pay Bills
  • Receive Payments
  • Record Journal Entry
  • Historical Purchase
  • Historical Sale
  • Adjust Inventory
  • Transfer Inventory
  • Receive Money
  • Purchases
  • Sales
  • Settle Returns & Credits
  • Settle Returns & Debits
  • Spend Money
  • Pay Employees
