    If you want to view an existing invoice, leave this field blank, and select the invoice from selection list in the Purchase Invoice Reference field below.

    Purchase Invoice Reference
    The reference for the Purchase Invoice. This must correspond with the settings in the Purchase Type selected.
    Status
    Each static data record contains a status code that determines the current processing status of the record. A status is assigned to each static reference record, for example to every account, asset, customer and supplier. It determines the current processing status of the record.
    • Open - this status is set automatically when you add a new record, for example, if you create a new account. Open items are available for input, inquiry, processing and reporting.
    • Hidden - a record with a hidden status does not appear on any inquiries but is available for input, processing and reporting.
    • Suspended/Held - a suspended record.
    • Closed/Completed - a closed record cannot be used for input or processing. For example, you cannot post transactions to a closed account or analysis code.
    You can alter the status of a record at any time. You must use the options on the Action menu to change the status.
