This help topic instructs you on how to input Sales documents, that have been produced externally to Autoline, into your Sales Ledger.
Note: Documents produced in any Point of Sales or Generate and print facility do not require the use of Batch Input provided those facilities have integration with the accounts modules switched on.
When accounts have been set up, you will begin to post documents to them. Documents in the Sales Ledger may be Invoices, Credit Notes, or Adjustments.
Broadly speaking, any Sales documents produced outside of the Autoline system can be entered into the Autoline Sales Ledger using this option.
This option relies heavily on system parameters to control what, how and when you can input documents through this option. This means that at set-up or as business needs change, you may alter key features of your posting by using the system parameters.
Warning: The changing of system parameters will not be a normal part of day-to-day business and should be done only by the system supervisor, or senior accounts personnel.
When you select the option initially from the menu a dialog box will appear with the message 'Do you require VSB postings?'
Note: The appearance of this dialog box is controlled by a System Parameter
Click the Yes button if there are postings within a batch which you wish to be posted to the costing records of a vehicle in the Vehicle Stockbook files.
Tip: The specification records within a Vehicle Stockbook record have to be set with a Source Code of 'S' and the Cost Status be either ' ' or 'C' before you can gain access to these Vehicle Stockbook records.
Click the No button if you do not require a Vehicle Stockbook posting in any of the batches being entered in this session.
From this point the Batch Input function goes through three key elements in order to allow the user to complete a Batch.
