Setting the Quantity field will recalculate Price Each but you can override this amount if you need to.

/* =================SalesPaymentsCredits================ /
/
Used in: 17, 25 */
((:SalesPaymentsCredits))#### What happens when a sale, payment or credit is entered?_
* Sales: A sale increases your income and the amount a customer owes, but does not affect the balance of your bank account until payment is made. Since your income increases, this also affects items such as the Monthly Breakdown report.

Tip: You can view all sales that relate to a specific customer using the Invoices screen. You can view all sales for all customers in the Sales screen.

  • Payments (from customers): In the context of customers, a payment is an amount of money received from a customer. When you enter a payment, you specify the account (normally the bank account) in which you will receive the income.

    A payment reduces the amount the customer owes, which in turn affect items such as the Customer Aged Debt report. A payment does not further affect your sales income and therefore other related items such as the Monthly Breakdown report.

  • Credits (to customers): A credit decreases the amount a customer owes and your income. It has the reverse effect to a sale.
