I have copied all the fields under the part of the help file listed:
Invoice, Credit Note, Quote and Purchase Order Format
Seems to import fine but I wondered how I tie it up to a certain account such as Advertising and Entertainment and make it debit that account to show it as an expense.
Can you tell me the extra fields I need to add. I am a bit thick when it comes to accounts so I am struggling to work it out.
Thank you in advance and apologies for taking up your time.
Hi Michael,
Just enter 'Advertising and Entertainment' in the 'Line 1 Account' column for your Purchase Invoice. This will then debit the account by the amount you enter under 'Line 1 Amount'.
Note also that for simple expenses where your supplier doesn't offer credit, it's simpler to record the expense as a 'Money Paid Out' transaction (rather than a Purchase Invoice). See the top of this page for an example:

Cheers,
Should have also emphasised that the Type needs to be Purchase Invoice (because Purchase Orders have no effect on the account balancess)
