Sales Billing

Feature

Starting with Goldenseal accounting software version 4.4, the Sales Billing command creates Billing Statements rather than Billing Records. Billing Statements do a better job of handling the billing process, so it no longer makes sense to use Billing Records for sales, at all.

How to Use

To do a sales billing, follow these steps:

1. If you haven't already done so, enter Sales records for the items sold or services provided.
2. When you are ready to send out a bill, choose Billing from the Bank menu, and choose Sales from the submenu.
3. Goldenseal will show you a list of all customers with unpaid sales.
4. Put a check next to each customer you'd like to bill, then click the Create Bills button.
5. Goldenseal will create a Billing Statement for each customer.

Technical Details

In Billing Records, we no longer include the option to do a breakdown by Sales. Use a Billing Statement instead of a Billing Record, since they are better designed for this function.

NOTE-- In version 4.4, you can still access Sales breakdowns in Billing Records, if you hold down a modifier key when you switch the Account Class to Customer. However, we plan to remove Sales breakdowns completely in a future update.
