Fields in this window

Historical Sale window

Customer Name

In this field, enter the name of the customer for whom you want to enter the historical sale.

Balance

This field displays the current accounts receivable balance for the customer.

Terms

In this field, the credit terms entered in the Selling Details view of the Card Information window for the customer are displayed. If you wish to change the terms for this sale only, click the arrow to open the Credit Terms window and make changes or additions.

Invoice #

When you begin to create a transaction in this window, this field will automatically display the next available invoice number which will become the actual transaction number when it's recorded into the data file. This ensures that two or more users won't create transactions with the same transaction number at the same time.

If you highlight the field, Auto # appears. You can choose to:

  • Delete Auto # and enter a new number for the transaction or
  • Leave Auto #. The assigned number will appear again when you leave this field.

If you choose to enter a new number in the Invoice # field and then record the transaction, the next time you begin to enter a sale, the Invoice # will automatically increase the number you previously entered by one. This will continue until you again change the number entered in the Invoice # field and record the transaction.

Date

Enter a date for the transaction.

Tax
