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.
For a quicker way to create a bill, add your supplier invoices to the AccountRight In Tray.
- Go to the Purchases command centre and click Enter Purchases.
- Select the supplier, or add a card for them.
- Are the credit terms right? Click the Terms arrow to change the supplier's default credit terms for this purchase only.
- If you're entering prices that include tax or GST, select the Tax Inclusive (Australia) or GST Inclusive (New Zealand) option. Don't change this setting after you start entering amounts.
- Want to change the purchase layout to suit the type of goods or services you're purchasing? Click Layout.
- Select whether you're recording a quote, order or Receive Items (Not Basics), or bill from the Purchase Type list in the top-left corner. The Receive Items option only appears for the Item purchase layout. If you record a quote or order, you can change the purchase type later when the status of the purchase changes.
Enter details of what you're buying, as well as headings, subtotals and blank lines. The fields that are available depend on the purchase type and layout you've selected.

FAQs
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.
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.
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.
Have you selected the Miscellaneous purchase layout? This layout should only be used for purchases where a form does not need to be printed or emailed. For example, debit notes.
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.
Click the Tax arrow if you want to view or change the tax (Australia) or GST (New Zealand) amounts assigned to the purchase.
You can enter a brief description in the Journal Memo field. You can search for purchases using the text you enter in this field. If you don't want this information to appear on printed/emailed purchases, ensure that the Memo field is not included on the form.
