Upgraders: To continue entering item purchases as you always have

---

There is just one important change to keep in mind if you want to enter item purchases as you have in previous versions of your MYOB software. You still enter your quote, order and bill quantities in the first column, but the first column is no longer labeled `Received'; there are new names for the first column.

The Received column now displays the quantities of the item you have received using the new Receive Item view of the Purchase Items window. (The use of the Received column for purchases has changed)

The results when you record the purchase are the same as in previous versions:

QUOTE

New: Enter quantities in the Quantity column (Previous versions: Received column)

Results:

• No transaction is added to your company file.

• Your inventory quantities and values aren't affected.

• Your linked A/P account isn't affected.

ORDER

New: Enter quantities in the Order column (Previous versions: Received column)

Results:

• No transaction is added to your company file:

• The On Order quantity for inventory is increased (on-hand quantities aren't affected). Your inventory value isn't affected.

• Your linked A/P account isn't affected.

BILL

New: Enter quantities in the Bill column (Previous versions: Received column).

Results:

• A transaction is added to your company file:

• The On-Hand quantity and value of your inventory is increased

• Your linked A/P account is increased

• If an Order was used to create the Bill, the Order no longer exists.

No Change: Enter backorder quantities in the Backorder column.

Results: An Order is created; see Order.

Note:  Purchases -- bill, orders and quotes -- from your previous MYOB software which had quantities in the Received column will display the quantities in the appropriate new column when the purchases are upgraded to 2006.
