Entering purchase and sale bills
Create bills as drafts or final, understand what "final" does to your books and stock, and use the Ready views.
Draft or final?
| Draft | Final | |
|---|---|---|
| Posts to your books | No | Yes |
| Changes stock | No | Purchases add stock; sales take it out |
| Can be edited | Yes | Yes. Saving re-posts the bill and redoes its stock |
Save as draft while you are still checking a bill, then make it final.
