Invoicing and AR

From LaneWiki

Jump to: navigation, search

L’âne supports a simple invoicing and accounts receivables system. Currently, the payment terms only allow “due in X days” type of accounts (rather than “due on the Xth of the month”). It supports automatic early payment discounts (ie 2% 10 Days/Net 30), statement generation, page invoices (in addition to the register receipts), and many related features.

Invoicing Sales

  1. To assign a sale to a given customer, open that customer. You can perform this operation at any time before finalizing (tendering) the sale.
  2. Tender the sale to “House Account” (in the sample dataset).

After verifying that the customer has enough credit available on his or her account, the sale will be finalized.

Receiving Payments into a Customer’s Account

  1. In a new sale, open that customer.
  2. Enter the amount received (without the decimal separator).
  3. Press R/A.
  4. Finalize the sale with the appropriate tender (Cash, Check, et c.)

Viewing and Printing a Page Invoice

  1. Run the sales-ticket.xml report (#Tools).
  2. In the browser window, select Print (which is usually under File).
