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. Transactions Types (Transactions) display transaction summaries in contrast to Transaction Types (Items) that displays all the items.
These tutorials explain how to view the transactions which mainly consist of the header information and the amounts.
