Purchase ledger transactions

The Purchase Ledger Transaction Entry allows Invoices, Credits, Payments, Refunds, Journal Debits / Credits and Discounts to created against an account.

Most Purchase Ledger Transactions are created automatically via the Purchase Order Processing Workflow, as per the Purchase Order Processing document of the product catalogue. In a Business to Business environment it is often necessary to create transactions directly on to the Purchase Ledger. These can be for ad-hoc Purchase Invoices, adjustments to accounts or perhaps the entry of a payment made to a supplier. This is all done through the Transaction entry system.
