Add a negative expense order either by linking it to the original purchase order or by posting to a specific general ledger account.

 

To post to a GL account

On the ribbon, go to Purchases > Add Purchase.

1.Choose Expense from the dropdown list in the Type field of the header. Some fields in the header and other areas of the form will be added/removed as appropriate, and Adding Purchase Order xxx in the header will change to Adding Expense Order xxx.

Tip

The Adding Expense Order form will display default fields which include the PO#, Status, Ship#, Type, Date In, Cost Method and Tax Total. A field's default information can be overridden by moving to that field, highlighting and editing it. The exception to this is that the PO# and Date In cannot be changed, as they form part of the secure quality record for that particular expense.        

2.Select the vendor.

If there is no cardfile for the vendor, when in the Cust# field use F5 select Quick CardFile Add to enter a new cardfile. This can then be used on the current expense order.

To change any of these default values, move to the field to be changed change and use the dropdown list active in that field, or highlight and change the entries.

3.If required, enter a specific message in the Notes field in the Expense Order header.

4.Now add comments or stock to this expense. The F3 function key will move to the Comment grid and the F4 function key will move to the expenses grid.
