  11. h) Cost Code* – select the relevant cost code if required. TAB
  12. i) Details – enter some details about the transactions. TAB
  13. j) Net – enter the net amount, if you do not know the net amount you can enter the gross amount and click Calculate net (F9). TAB
  14. k) T/C* – select the correct VAT code. TAB
  15. l) Tax – check that the VAT has been calculated correctly, if not amend as required. TAB
  16. m) Gross – this is calculated automatically and you can just use it to check the amount is correct.
  17. You can either click Save or carry on with the next line.

Memo if a transaction is made up of more than one item eg you have been to the supermarket and purchased tea and coffee together with A4 paper you might want to split these items to sundries and stationery, just split the transaction over two lines using the same date and reference but different nominal codes, amounts and tax codes, just make sure that the Gross total at the bottom agrees to the total of the receipt when you have finished.
