Express Accounts

TAB

Hi all....does anybody know whether Express Accounts has an option to create a purchase ledger within the basic free package?

Yep you can maintain a purchase ledger. You use it the same way as sage, raise invoices in the supplier page and you can run aged reports etc.

Does anyone know how to turn off the stock counting feature? I want to be able to post directly to the closing stock codes. The only way I've found of posting closing stock as a journal is to create new stock codes as current assets/COS codes.

Thanks

TAB

Thanks Gem7321 but can you tell me how to bring up the suppliers page please? I've been trying for a while and reading the help pages but cant figure it out!!

Just click on the suppliers quick-link on the bottom left, underneath customers, or on the tool bar go to suppliers - suppliers home. Then you get all the buttons to raise an invoice, create a new supplier, pay an invoice etc.

I'll give it a go...thanks very much for your help.

Good luck :thumbup: once you've got used to where everything is it's a good package. Apart from the stock thing!

Hi Gem7321.....apologies for asking about this subject again but I cant find an option to create invs for suppliers. What I have on Express Accounts is the option to make payments, receive money, make a journal entry & reconcile accounts. Ive now downloaded Express Invoice which allows me to create an invoice, apply payments and to have an unpaid account report but this is for customers & not suppliers. Any advice would appreciated.

You shouldn't need to download anything else. Are we both talking about the microsoft office express accounting?

When I look at the suppliers home page it's the first button, or if you go to suppliers in the toolbar it's the 3rd option down.

No this is Express Accounts v.2.08 by NCH Software....no wonder I couldnt find it, lol. Thanks for replying.

In Microsoft express accounts when I go to make a bank payment a box pops up asking what type of payment it is, a supplier payment, a refund, or an employee reimbursement. Is there any way I can turn this off? Most of the payments I post this way will be expenses like bank charges etc.

Also does anyone know how I can turn off the stock counting feature?

Thanks :thumbup1:

I've now found that if you use 'Issue payment' rather than 'enter payments' you don't have this box!

Is that a free package that you use Gem? Could you let me have the link if it is please.
