Not available in AccountRight Basics

Just bought something, or received a bill for electricity or another expense? To help you keep track of when it's due, record it in AccountRight.

And don't worry, if you make a mistake (like entering the wrong amount or double-entering it), you can edit or delete it later (so long as your security settings allow it).

For a quicker way to create a bill, add your supplier invoices to the AccountRight In Tray.

titleWhat does Auto# mean in the Purchase No. field?

The default number AccountRight shows is the next available number. When you click in the Purchase No. field, Auto# appears to confirm that the number has been automatically selected for you. You can type a different number into the field if you want.

UI Expand
titleWhat is the Supplier Inv No. field used for?

If the supplier gave you an invoice for this transaction, you can enter that quote, order or invoice number in the Supplier Inv No. field. You can search for purchases by the supplier's invoice number.

titleCan I choose a default purchase layout for a supplier?

Yes. The default layout displayed in the Purchase window is determined by the selection you made when setting up purchase details (using the Purchases Easy Setup Assistant). You can override this selection in the Buying Details tab of the supplier’s card.

You can also choose the default customised form that you want to use when printing or emailing purchases to the supplier.

If some purchases you record are very similar, or you record them frequently, you can save the purchase as a recurring transaction 'template' that you can use again.

Click Save as Recurring. In the Recurring Schedule Information window, enter the necessary information and click OK. If you've already saved a recurring purchase, click Use Recurring to create a purchase based on the recurring transaction.
