Purchase ledger
Records can be maintained for
any number of suppliers and will show at anytime the amount due, aged in any
way you like. What’s more, you may
enter details of the point you wish to pay the supplier – after 1 month, 2
months, etc. or, if you prefer, after a certain number of days. CONTROL will show you a payment
schedule, warning you of future expenditure, and can automatically print the
cheques for your suppliers or generate the BACS payment. Payments have a fully detailed remittance
advice included and a full purchase daybook is maintained, to assist with VAT
returns if you haven’t purchased the Nominal ledger (which prepares the VAT
return automatically). Information can
also be created as mail merge data for use in Microsoft Word or Microsoft
Excel.
All purchase invoices can be
held, and will not be paid until you release them, so that if you are awaiting
full delivery of goods or have some other reason to delay payment, you can do
so without compromising the accurate production of management accounts.
If you choose you may allocate purchases directly to the
site (contract), so that the budget entered for say materials used on site
reflects the true situation.
