General Ledger Best Practice

SOLVED

Hi

I am new to using Sage 200.

I am trying to insert some transactions (purchases) from supplierA.

As shown below, all transactions will go under Purchases.

1) How can I make it go under Purchases --- SupplierA account?

2) Do I need to create many IN transaction types for each supplier invoices for example IN_SupplierA, IN_SupplierB to be able to achieve Step 1?

Thx

    Hi 

    You can handle Purchases using multiple ways. If you require to make a simple transaction, that doesn't involve printing a Purchase Order or Issuing Inventory. Follow the steps below: 

    Go to Supplier ----> Transactions -----> Suppliers Batches 

    Create a + New Batch.

    (If you want to Debit a different GL Account select "Show GL Contra Account and Always allow editing of GL Contra Account)

    Once the batch is open Select Supplier and select the Transaction Type (IN). Reference Image. 

    Thanks

    Hi

    Many thanks for reply.

    If I follow the above which GL Account will it be under please?

    My main objective is to group all supplierA transactions under same account for eg. Purchases -- SupplierA

    so that I can report easily on them. 

    Is that the usual best practice or every transaction for every supplier goes under Purchases using Supplier Batches?
