Sales

To enter line items for item sales

1. Enter a line item for each item you are selling. After you enter the quantity (in the Ship field) and the item number, prices will appear automatically.



2. The total amount of your transaction can be split among as many allocation accounts as you like. Sales generally are allocated to income accounts, since they represent income for your company.



3. If some of the items are backordered, enter the number of items affected in the Backorder column. Only the items you've actually received will be included in the amount fields; when you record the sale, a separate sales order will be created automatically for the backordered items.



4. If you offer a volume discount, enter the discount percentage for each discounted line item in the Disc% column. The Total column will be updated to show the discount.



5. If the sale is associated with a job, enter a job number in the Job column. If the sale is associated with more than one job, you'll need to enter a separate line item for each job.
