Entering sales

Use the Sales Entry function to process sales of stock items to customers of your organisation and handle the common exceptions.
Sales can be either:

• cash sales or debtor sales to community members including:
• students
• future students
• parents
• debtors
• staff.
• "own use" sales to internal departments whose charges are allocated to a general ledger account
• cash sales to non-community members
• cash sales without knowledge of who the customer is.

Common stock items include books and uniforms. When stock is sold, the quantity of each item sold is automatically reduced from the stock on hand. See Managing stock.

General ledger transfers
Stock items can be transferred internally to departments in your organisation. This is done using a general ledger sale. The staff member responsible for receiving the stock item is nominated when processing the sale.
