Purchase and sales transaction types using multiple control accounts

You can create as many sales types and purchase types as you need for your financial administration. You can define sales type exceptions and purchase type exceptions to post transactions with specific origins and with specific details, for example, specific items or projects, to specific control accounts.

Multiple control accounts are used for the following types of purchase and sales transactions:

  • Purchase orders
  • Freight orders
  • Manual purchase invoices
  • Invoices generated for procurement card statements
  • Sales orders
  • Warehouse orders for transfers that result in intercompany transactions
  • Service orders
  • Service contracts
  • Calls
  • Project orders
  • Debit notes
  • Credit notes
  • Interest invoices
  • Manual sales invoices
  • Commission and Rebate invoices
  • Purchase schedules
  • Advance invoices
  • Sales schedules

Payments and receipts processed in Cash Management are posted to the control accounts determined by the sales types and purchase types of the related orders or invoices.

This applies to the following types of cash management transactions:

  • Manual and automatic payments/receipts for normal and anticipated payments/receipts
  • Assignment of invoices to advances/unallocated
  • Reconciliation of bank documents and electronic bank statements
