Miscellaneous expenses

[soo1690]

Hi all new to site x I am running Sage 50, my husband is a courier and I am jsut getting used to the system so I have not added all his reciepts on yet, when I started to last night I found I was being asked to make new products all the time, we hold no stock, I need to add many items he purchases whilst on the road, however I do not want to add new stock every time!! I know I will need to allocate each item to a nominal code such as subsistance but do I really need to make a stock item. Is there a way to add miscellaneous expenses without adding stock

try using the S1 magic stock code that is "anything you like"

could she not also go settings > invoice and order defaults > and set the default invoice format to service invoice

re-reading this, you say "expenses". This suggest the issue is with purchases.

I am guessing that as you are talking of product codes you are raising purchase orders for everything and then processing them through a supplier ledger.

You don't need to do that. You don't even need to use the supplier ledger.

If you buy something "out on the road" you can pay for it with a bank (or cash or credit card) payment directly from the bank module to the nominal code it belongs to.
