Hi, I want to know which nominal code I should use for carriage outwards, please? Also should it be part of the business expenses?

This is entirely dependant on how you have configured your nominal ledger.

If you are using the "standard" chart of accounts then you would use

4905 for sales of Carriage to customers

5100 for purchases of Carriage that is resold or relates to the shipping of goods sold or that for some other reason is treated as a cost of sales.

7501 for the purchase of Carriage where the expense is treated as an overhead rather than as a cos of sales.

Should it be part of business expense, only if it is an expense incurred by the business, if it is personal expense then it would not be.

We had problem with balance notes,
the carriage were invoiced twice.

that is why we started to do carriage as a product.

hope that can be useful for someone
