Supplier Invoices

[mariad]

We are using Sage 50 accounts professional 2011 version 17.0.12.200

As far as I can see there are two methods for entering suppliers’ invoices:

1. Suppliers / purchase order list / update
2. Batch Supplier invoices

Using method 1 – this marks the purchase order posted flag as “yes” – however it is very slow, having to enter the reference number (suppliers invoice number) for every single product item ordered.

Using method 2 – this is quick and just does the invoice as a single overall total which is all we need to know – however it doesn’t update the purchase order flag as posted “yes”.

Is there a way to use batch supplier invoicing and also mark the purchase order posted flag “yes”?

What other actions happen in the background by using method one? Does this have other effects eg on cost price analysis, stock transactions, nominal ledger or any other part of the accounts? (Or simply put - what will we lose by not entering invoices this way?)

Thank you for any advice you can offer.

When doing method 2
you can copy the invoice number from the previous line by pressing F6

Thank you - that has speeded things up immensely!
