[SL] A couple of practical POS questions

[Matt J. <sir...@gm...>]

Hello, all.

I sell inventory items.

I assume this means my process, starting from the beginning is:

1. Add my vendors

2. Add my items

3. (confused here) Add items I have ordered and their prices *at that time*
(they change). I order 6 of this, 8 of that, etc. all on a single invoice
from my supplier. Can I enter these "orders" with their particular order
numbers/dates in that fashion in SQL Ledger? The only thing I was able to
find was under "Order Entry > Purchase Order" I could enter one
item/number/description, but not many. How does this work?


Next, when I sell an item:

1. Go to POS > Sale

2. Enter order info

BUT...

- why is there only the "Record In: Accounts Receivable" option? Why can't I
record it in checking account if I received a check? That is a different
sort of asset.

- Why is there only one "record" for an item number/description/quantity,
etc.? What if they order many items in one order? Is there a way to add more
lines for more items?

- Why do the "amount / source / memo" fields below that lead to my checking
and petty cash accounts? Does the money "technically" go from AR to the
asset account all within one invoice? Why not directly into cash or checking
acct?


Thanks,

Matt Jackson
