Sales / Purchase Transactions

The Sales and Purchase ledgers allow the posting of invoices, credits and payments. Entering transactions direct into the ledger does not print invoice and credit documents. Typically you would use either Invoicer or Order Processing for this, which wouldn’t require the separate entry here. This section assumes you have already created these documents by a procedure outside of Datafile and you now want to post them to the ledger.

In addition, if the Cashbook application is in use, you would enter payments there rather than in the Sales or Purchase Ledger.
