In accounting, entries or transactions are used to capture all the financial information. In BOS Enterprise, the method of capturing transactions (creating transaction types) is fully customisable. The Transaction Types determine which accounts are debited and credited.
Transactions can contain single or multiple entries. Transaction Types (Items) displays all the entries, in contrast to Transactions Types (Transactions) which only display transaction summaries.
These tutorials explain how to view the items that were added to transactions.
