Item Settings Section
You can also create unlimited price lists in Accounting.
More about price lists?
When you create items in Accounting, you can link them to all the price lists that you have set up. You can give each price list a unique name. For example, you could have a trade price, a retail price and a distributor price. Accounting also lets you assign a default price list per customer.
You are also able to copy your selling prices from one price list to another by using the Adjust Item Selling Prices wizard on the Items menu.
To add a new price list, click on the green plus next to a price list. You can delete and add as many price lists as you want. You cannot delete the Default Price List which stores your current Item prices. You also cannot delete a price list that has been linked to a customer or where a price has been assigned in the Item Masterfile.
Outstanding Balances Section
Accounting has two methods of treating outstanding balances. Ageing refers to the number of days that a Customer or a Supplier balance is outstanding. Customer and Supplier ageing can work monthly or based on the number of days from the date of the invoice. Use the Monthly ageing option if you want the Balances – Days Outstanding Report, or Statements and Balances – Days Outstanding Graph on the Dashboard to display unpaid invoices outstanding by calendar month. The Current value will be the total of all unpaid invoices processed in the current month. The 30 Days value will be the total of all unpaid invoices processed in the previous month, and so on.
Deselect this option if you want ageing to work on the actual number of days that the balance has been outstanding since the date of the invoice.
VAT Settings Tab
In the VAT Settings section, you will select all the options relating to your company's VAT settings.
There are three VAT systems available in Accounting, namely:
| VAT Systems | Description |
| Invoice Based | Use this option for any standard form of sales VAT, goods and services tax (GST) or VAT. As you process sales, the system accumulates the VAT liability. If there is a requirement, the system offsets the liability with any VAT you pay on purchases. This is by far the most common option. |
| Payment Based | In some countries, smaller businesses are able to defer the payment of taxes on sales until the customer actually pays them. VAT credit or liability only occurs when you receive a payment from a customer or make a payment to a supplier. The system holds the provisional liability / VAT credit until you process a receipt or payment, after which it transfers the provisional amount to the VAT Payable account. |
| No VAT | The system will not ask for tax codes, nor will it ask for exclusive and inclusive amounts. Usually only very small businesses are completely exempt from VAT processing. |
Enter all your company's VAT details in the respective fields.
You are able to add or remove VAT types by clicking on the
Please note that there are laws governing VAT. We recommend that you ask your local VAT authority for accurate information.
Documents and Statements Tab
The Documents and Statements tab has the following sections:
- Statement Messages
- Document Numbers
- Document Descriptions
- Customer Document Messages
- Supplier Document Messages
- Invoice and Statement Layouts
Statement Messages Section
On this section, you can enter messages that you would like to appear on your monthly statements to customers. It is not mandatory to enter messages.
You can enter different messages for different aging periods, as shown below:
Document Numbers Section
You can set your document numbering using this section. This function allows you to set your own numbering structure. You will usually use this to continue your numbering structure from a previous accounting package or spreadsheet. After setting your new numbering structures, the system will automatically increment the next document numbers when they are processed.
If you are processing documents in a multi-user environment, the system will automatically allocate a number to the document when the document is saved. This will eliminate duplicate document numbers caused by various users processing transactions at the same time. When you process documents in a multi-user environment the number will display as NUMBER until the document is saved and a number is allocated by the system.
If you work in a single user environment, the system will also allocate the next document number, but it will display the number immediately because there is only one user processing transactions.
Document Descriptions Section
The Document Descriptions section allows you to rename the different documents available in Accounting.
The "Original Name" and "Copy Name" can be edited. The Original Name will be used when printing/emailing a document for the first time. When a document is re-printed/re-emailed, the Copy Name will be used.
Customer Document Messages Section
In the Customer Document Messages tab, you can enter standard messages to appear on each of your customer documents. It is not mandatory to enter messages. On each document, there is a space to enter messages for the specific document that you are processing. If you enter a message, as you process a document, that message will appear instead of the message entered in this screen.
Supplier Document Message Section
You can enter default messages for supplier documents. These messages can be edited on the documents when you process them.
Invoice and Statement Layouts Section
Select the default, customised or modern report layouts using the drop down menus.
You can import your layout that you have created in the Custom Layout Designer by clicking on the Import button.

User Defined Fields Tab
The User Defined Fields tab has the following sections:

You may wish to store additional information about your customers, suppliers, items and assets. To do this, the system allows you to name 12 additional fields for each of these record types. You name the fields in the User Defined Fields function.
Once you have set the User Defined Fields here, you can add extra information when editing your customers, suppliers, items and assets.
There are four types of fields:
- Text – You can enter an alphanumeric description, of up to 50 characters.
- Numeric – You can enter numbers.
- Date – You can enter dates.
- Yes / No – This is a check box, which you can check or uncheck.
In the screen above, you can see some examples of information where you may want to use User Defined Fields for in customer accounts.
User Defined Fields are unique to the company that you create them in.
You can add additional document user defined fields for the different processing documents. These extra fields must be added onto your documents using the Custom Layout Designer.
