Re: Split Booking

[C K Wu <ck...@ch...>]

Dear Ralph,

I think the two examples that you mentioned can be solved as follows,

Example 1:
a)    Treat the 4 HDs as normal purchase and book them into inventory.
b)    Transfer 1 HD into asset as thus,
            Dr    Asset            (cost of 1 HD)
            Cr    Inventory        (cost of 1 HD)

Example 2:
Your customer's bill would appear as,

Number    Description                        Qty        Price
part1        Harddisk                            1            $999
part2        Support Service                  1            $99.9

ie, separate what you want to charge your customer into two or more items.

Best Regards,
CK Wu
